Saturday night, December 9th, 1913,
at nine o'clock the Children's Con-
test came to a close amid intense ex-
citcment. All day the Contest Mana
ger and assistants were kept busy re-
ceiving subscriptions and tickets, and
the number Of votes polled was a sur
prise to everyone, especially to those
conducting the contest. There we're
more subscriptions and tickets enter
cd Saturday than during the preced-
ing weeks, causing the vote total of
somcof the candidates to soar into
the millions.
Everybody had fair chance, were
encouraged and advised from the Con-
test Department, and realizing this,
the losers have taken it good natured-
ay, knowing that everybody could not
win, and feeling that the winners de-
served winning for their work and
the aid of their fl nds.
At nine o'clock tie judges, DR.. Isa-
dorc Schayer, D. NJ. Norwood and B.
II. Clardy began counting the votes
and at 10:30 the result was announced
to the waiting crowd.
1T WIS close race, especially in
District No. 2, and the defeated ones
can well compliment themselves upon
their efforts, for they deserve commcn-
dation.
Probably there were altogether 40,-
100000 votes pollcd for the many can
dmates who were actively in the race,
making by far the biggest contest ev-
er held in this section OF the state,
and record that will remain un-
beaten for years to come

added to The Advertiser list, and it
now stands in this line second to no

VAIL OF THE STAND
PATTERS.

| A few of our standqat friends
are displaying considerable tenn
per over the Presidents action
in keeping the House in session,
just marking time" while the
Senate is considering the curren-
cy bill.
THE House should either go
to work or adjourn and go home,
they scream,
But the President and his ad-
visers are not disturbed by
these screams. They know what
they are about.
The extra-session has been
asked to perform two specific
acts, revise the tariff and enact
a new banking and currency law.
The House has acted promptly
on both propositions. The Sen
ate has been balky.
The Standpatters undertook to
talk the tariff bill to death-and
failed. =
Then they attempted to block
currency legislation by the same
tactics.
In beth instances President
Wilson has used the only big
Stick" he knows how to WELD
Public Opinion. He has refused
to permit the main issue to be
obscured by the introduction of
irrelevant matters. In that way
he has concentrated the eyes of
the nation on the poor old stand
pat obstructionists in the Senate,
and while they have howled they
have gradually weakened.
The House is standing by doing
nothing waiting, just as the ma
ton is waiting for the Senate to
act. If the House took up the
routine work of legislation the
public eye might be diverted from
the Senate and the public mind
might momentarily forget the
standpatters who are blocking
currency legislation. That would
be nice for the standpatters. 1t
would give them time to breathe,
and think and plot, But it might
prove fatal to the Presidents
plan, and therefore. it cannot be
considered.
