get their campaign expense accounts
in on schedule time Friday have since
placed them on file at the Office OF the
county auditor. The law requires that
each of the county and township can
didates at the general election shall
file statement OF his expenses with
the auditor not more than ten days
from the date of election, the time
limit this year falling on last Friday,
while the county chairmen are also
required to file statements of the par
ty expenses.
According to the statement fled
Saturday by b. ]. Snyder, democrat
iC county chairman, and G. Il. Monroe
county secretary, the democrats spent
$55933 in prosecuting their campaign
in the county. The receipts from cam
paign assessments and contributions
are listed at $633.00 This leaves a
balance on hand of 1887. According
to the republican and progressive
statements, which were filed Friday,
the former spent $660.63 and the lat
ter expended $50. Individual state
ments filed since Friday are:
Tom Mason, progressive candidate

May Abandon Tampico

WASHINGTON, April 3.-Follow- ing closely upon the heels of official advices from George c. Carothers, American Consular Agent at Torreon of the flight of the federal troops from that city, came the prediction from Admiral Fletcher that the inn portant gulf port of Tampico pro- bably will be abandoned by the fed erals without a fight. Administration officials made no comment on the re- suit at Torreon, and official sentiment is not likely to crystalline until more is known of the battle, and the ef- fects in Mexico City and elsewhere.
 Fletchers report was received with keen interest. For many months the constitutionalists have been besieg ing Tampico in order to obtain pos session of a deep water port on the Gulf of Mexico
 Admiral Fletcher reported that the constitutionalists now have outposts within five miles of Tampico, and it is said the commanding officer at Laguna Puerto plans to attack the town as soon as one thousand troops arrive under General Castro, who is working toward the coast on the San Luis Railroad At Laquna Puerto there are one thousand mounted con- stitutionalists, according to the ad- miral, and the constitutionalist lines are said to extend east to the coast from Canalote on the Tamesi River.
 The admiral estimates the federal garrison at Tampico at one thousand. | The situation of the bes.eged city is made more desperate by lack of water, connections having been cut by the constitutionalists. Smallpox, it was reported, is increasing
 | Admiral Fletcher advises there are already at Tampico, sufficient naval forces to cope with the situation or with anything apt to arise"
 | In the beginning the capture of Tampico was deemed essential in
 order to secure an eastern entry for
 munitions of war for the constitu-
 tionalist army The proclamation of Wilson permitting the eXportation of
 arms and ammunition across the bor-
 der diminished the importance of the port. Recently the financial needs
 of the rebels, with the knowledge of the customs receipts at Tampico
 were heavy, led to a renewal of the
 siege, and the strengthening of the
 attacking force.

 WASHINGTON, April 3. Every indication is that the announcement of the reserve dlstrlcrs and cities by the reserve bank organization com mittee has given the signal for de- termined struggle by several disap- pointed cities to overturn the com mittees decision and bring about a redistricting of the country. or at least a change of the reserve cities The decisions of the committee is not subject to review except by the federal reserve board, which has not yet been appointed.
 Weeks, of the senate banking and currency committee pointed out that bank is located in Georgia, Secre- tary McAdoo's home state, one in Virginia, the home state of Comp troller of the Currency Williams. and two in Missouri, the home state of Secretary Houston, and weeks ques toned the propriety of those selec- tions.
 It was pointed out that Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo and Comp U iOiiNI Ol lIV Cul tlICN w illletHlS, tA- Cfficio members of the reserve board. could hardly be counted on to re- verse themselves. The committees plan is criticised in congress, and reports of keen disappointment has been received from several cities which failed to secure reserve banks. Senator Burton disapproved putting Pittsburg in the Cleveland district, and Hitchcock pointed out that Oma- la was included in the Kansas City district instead of the Chicago dis trict, the trade not flowing toward the reserve city in either case.
