TODAY'S MARKET REPORT.

Chicago, March 25-WHEAT-Excellen
growing weather sent wheat down. Prices
opened a shade lower to 1s@Ac higher,
with May a shade to &c higher at 90ssc to
5, 71G90ssc. That option declined later to
$3.50.
Some buying on the decrease in the
visible supply caused little firmer feel
ing for a time but pit traders hammered
the market and prices eased off. Close
steady with May s91a@Ss9sc, a net loss OF

CORN-Short selling weakened corn
after strong opening. May began a
shade to &c higher at 533s@53%c to $500,
touched 53BG54c and then went down to
535s@59s4c.
Increased corn stocks here and lack of
demand from the east kept the market on
the down grade. The close was a tr1fle
firmer. May %@Ac net loss at 53c.
OATS-Oats eased off with other grains.
May started at S9a49S3%c, declined to

The election will select three from this
list.
Now for the dope
The one big surprise that is leading
the political buzzing at the city hall to-
day is the vote of Newland over Miller
| 1t has been known at all stages of the
race that Newland would be nominate
But on account of the record of Miller
as commissioner of waterworks and on
account of his tremendous majorities in
past elections, it was not predicted
that Newland would poll larger vote
in the primaries. Newland, living on
the East side in Miller's stronghold,
captured voters from the commissioner S
| intrenchments and came out els ballots
ahead. Bradford, the other candidate
| received only 9S3 votes. This means
| that Miller will have to capture ma
| jority of the Socialists votes to re-elect
| him to office. He will have to over
come a lead of 615 that Newland holds
| over him-and this is no small task in a
city election. 1t will be strenuous
| week for the water commissioner.
In the mayorality race the city poll
| ticians are asking this question? What
will become of the Hughes, O'Neil,
| Taylor and Crichton votes. It has been
| known for several days that the sup
porters of Mayor Billiard were fearing
the Cofran nomination. Cofran, it is
claimed, will capture many Billiard
votes-and as an addition will have the
dry and law and ORDER vote to his
credit. Here is how it looks in black
and white:
Billiard was given 5,94S votes. Cofran
| 1854. All other candidates, 4409. Cot
ran will have to entice $500 before he
standing votes into his fold before he
can win from Billiard. This leaves only
| 9O9 for Billiard to procure. 1t will be a
hard fight for Cofran to overcome the
lead. If Billiard is given the vote he
| received in the election two years ago,
he will add two more years to his ca
reer at the city hail.
1t looks like easy sailing for Tandy
With lead of 5000 over Adamson
and with only 704 Socialist inclined
ballots to bait for, the present com
missioner of streets and public i'm
provements should have no trouble.
Stotts is confronted with a problem.
He has margin of LOO votes, to be
sure, but there are 2,639 votes at large.
Porter must rope nearly all these in to
land a victory. Stotts is running on
record of giving Topeka the best park
system in its history and Porter is I'M
known. The city hall is not anticipat-
ing a new man in the place.
The school board ballot is only a
formal matter now. Van Horn, Jones
and Griggs undoubtedly will retain
their lead and win easily over the
women. AS it stands the vote is two
and three to one in favor of the men.
The light vote was unlocked for.
The morning started out briskly and
at noon the candidates reported a
good. busy polling day in all parts of
the city. The normal evening vote
failed to materialize and the vote fell
down to less than $4,000 or 5000 less
than the registration.
The more hopeful are looking for a
big vote in the election. Failure to-
vote at the primaries does not dis

election one week from today. Hun
dredS may vote April 1 who did not

board choice is to be made.
The vote was not counted as quickly
as was expected by w. H. Kemper, city
election commissioner. Many books
were not turned in until the early
morning hours and women officials at
the polls were taken home in cabs,
worn out, wearied and exhausted. 1t
is doubtful if the polls will appeal to
women hereafter-as places of en-
ployment.
The table in another part of this
issue of The State Journal will tell the
story of the vote in the precincts and
wards in the primary election Mon
day.
Apparently the city campaign has
left no sore spots on the defeated can
didates. The winners, on the other
hand. are spurred on to a more strenu-
GUS and general campaign. An effort
will be made to bring out the 5000
choice yesterday-to obtain complete
expression in the election one week
from today. From reports received at
the city hall it is apparent that To-
peka after all polled a large vote con-
sidering all conditions. At Wichita
many candidates in the field and where
mudslinging and rivalry were taken up
by the press. only 10000 voters went
to the polls-nearly 1900 voted in To-
peka.
Here are a few expressions from the
candidates today:
Mayor Billard-"I will admit that I
anticipated a little larger vote but of
course am not complaining. I hope to
poll a larger vote one week from To
day."
r. L. Cofran-'T am as confident of
the election as I was of the nominal
ton. 1 hope to increase the list of my
friends before next Tuesday"
]. w. F. Hughes-'I have a smile
and a handshake for everyone today
feel just as If I had won. I have
had my heart set on that mayors chair
for several years-but have found that
it takes more than a heart to occupy
satisfactorily the mayors chair
Ed O'Neil-"Early last evening 1 saw
that the game was up as far as I was
concerned. But believe that it was a
clean election"

Urges Speedy Action.

Robert Cowel, a leading business
man after making a survey of the de-
vastated district, called attention tt
the fact that the time to organize fol
the rebuilding of the devastated dis
trict is now.
Il would suggest said Mr.. Cowell
that a corporation be formed at once
for the purpose of loaning funds tc
those who want to rebuild It a merely
nominal rate of interest. In the list
of losers are many who are proud and
sensitive, who don't want to accept
charitable aid, but who WILL if proper
arrangements can be made, take ad-
vantage of the help that might be ex-
tended by properly organized COM
pany. This means will be, in my judg-
ment, the best way to assist these
folks A local firm will subscribe So
at once. 1 ask others who are inter
ested in this to join with me-"
Not the least of the anguish occa-
stoned by the storm here has been
through the inability of relatives out
side of Omaha to reach this city by
wire. Messages to the outside world
did not begin to leave this city until
after midnight last night and the first
inquiries concerning relatives began
coming in about the same time. Fail
ure of the wires to work properly also
is causing great anxiety and some OF
the messages are unintelIigible.
Early this morning one was receiv-
ed at a local newspaper office from
a man whose wife is listed among the
killed. He asked that all possible
haste be made to acquaint him with
her condition. but a mistake in the

Fire completely destroyed the livery

morning. The alarm was turned in at

strong hold and the firemen were un-
able to check them.
Besides all the carriages, harness,
hay, etc., two Ford cars were burned.
The horses only were saved. The loss
is about $500.
Mr.. Cosgrove carried insurance to
the extent of $4,000. He is undaunted
by the loss, and is opening his new
stable in the Hid barn across from the
Town Hall, with new equipment.
There was no insurance on the build
ing. which was owned by James Byers.
