MICHIGAN.

Lansing, Mich, Nov. 3.-Due to
slow counting, only 1872 out of 2,132
precincts in the state were in late to-
night. They showed that Gov. Wood
bridge N. Ferris, democrat, had lead
of about 5000 over Chase S. Osborn,
his republican opponent, and it is be-
lieved Ferris plurality will be in
creased as later returns are received
The vote in so far shows Ferris,
10,963; Osborn, 1914; Pattengill, pro-
gressive, 2,O56.
There is possibility, however, that
born's rescue. 1t is expected Detroit
will return a heavy plurality for Fer
ris. The early count indicated that
the democratic governor would have
at least 10000 plurality in Wayne
county.
However, if the final returns show
that Osborn has been defeated, there
is apparently little danger that the
republican state ticket will go down
to defeat. Early returns indicated
that there was comparatively little
cutting below governor.
In practically every precinct the Ma
tional progressive vote has dwindled
far below the estimates of the Bull
Moose leaders, and the progressives
will be poor third in all sections Of
the state.
1t is believed that practically every
republican candidate for congress,
with the exception of the First dis
trict, will be elected.
Early indications show a big gain in
both branches of the legislature for
the republicans.

OPPORTUNITY FOR AMERICAN
TIN INDUSTRY.

Attention is called to teh opportun-
ity afforded at the present time TOR
building up a large smelling indus
try in this country. While we have
had tin-plate industry in the United
States for upwards of quarter OF a
century, thanks to the benehcient
workings of the Dingley tariff and
subsequent protective measures, the
tin has been smelted abroad. The
opportunity for great American tin
industry is found in the barrier the
European war has raised against for
eign imports and in the presence in
Bolivia of enormous tin deposis
which may be brought to our East
ern States by way of the Panama
Canal at low cost. These deposits
will afford abundant addition to the
tin ores already obtained from Alaska
and certain parts of the United States.
There is no reason why these ores
should be sent across the ocean for
smelling and then reshipped to this
country for the manufacture of tin
plate. If necessary to the permanent
prosperity of tin-smelting industry
a protective tariff should be imposed,
and the ariff on tin plate should also
be maintained at point that will en-
able that industry to overcome the
disadvantage of cheap foreign labor
In the Bolivia tin supply said to be OF
unexcelled quality and huge nitrate
deposits of Chile, are two products
that the United States will need in lib
eral quantities, and the Panama Canal
will enable us to obtain these pro
ducts cheaply in return for manufac-
tured goods that the Chileans and
Bolivians will require-Springheld

SOME ENDORSEMENT.

The result of the election Tuesday
throughout the United States has
certainly been some Endorsement for
the present administration O. From
all accounts the Democratic majority
in Congress has been nearly wiped
out, and, already, the Administrat-
is wondering if it is best to push any
more of it reforms CO. Republicans
have gained close to 90 members in
the lower house of Congress, and
Wilson and Bryan are alarmed for
fear that if they upset things further
in this country that two years hence
the Democrats will be on the tobog
gan for fair. And we'll they may be
alarmed, for that is just what is
going to happen. After the election
of 1916 there will be Republican
President with nice Republican
working majority in both houses OF
Congress and Uncle Sam will have
a chance to smile again at the squirt
that business will take in all branches.
Factories will resume operators, Ia
Dor will have a chance 10 carry 4 flill
grub bucket again and the farmer,
fruit grower, cotton grower, sugar
planter and every other industry will
be prosperous The election OF last
Tuesday has sure been wonderful
Endorsement of Wilson and Bryan

LOAN SHARKS BAGGED BY
UNCLE SAM.

What is claimed by United States
government agents to be one OF the
most gigantic get-rich-quick schemes
of the last decade, with ramihcatlons
reaching from Vancouver, B. G., and
other Pacific Coast cities as far east
as Reno, Nevada, has just been
brought to light by the Federal in
dictment at Seattle of officers and
agents of the National Mercantile
Company, limited, of Vancouver a
concern which is represented in Ne
vada by G. w. Brown, of Reno.
Brown and other State agents south
of the northern Federal district have
not been indicted.
According to the federal officials
and representatives OF the various
States in which the company has OPP
Grated, the National Mercantile COM
pany is huge loan shark concern
which has bilked farmers throughout
the west, by means of clever swim
Sacramento, it is alleged, local agent

other realty owners are said to have
been made patrons of the company
here in Reno What the receipts OF
the Reno Office have been, however,
could not be learned as Brown the
Nevada manager could not be To-
Gated
The scheme of the company has
been an alluring one. The advertise
ments of its agents notify the pubic
that % per cent money is offered to
loan for all purposes, to buy, build or
improve homes, or pay off mortgages
which are long carried at a higher
rate of interest, with eleven years to
repay" The mere~announcement that
money can~Pe lborl owed at three per
cent has caused farmers aamong whom
the company Aas*especially worked,
to flock to,its various State offices.
ToSthe applicant for loan the ag
.tnt explains that the scheme is Co

pective borrower to pay into the com
pany, under an iron-clad contract, ten
dollars each month beginning at the
signing of the contract Loans OF SlOU''
or more, then are made to these APP
plicants in rotation as fast as the
amounts desired are accumulated from
the monthly payments. The plan has
sound alluring, but in practice 1t has
meant that the average applicant fo'
the loan must pay into the company
sums aggregating from $500 to Sl,5Oc
before he secures his $1,000 loan, H.
countless instances the applicants
have paid amounts ranging up to S5OC

Third Degree Must Be
Omitted At Columbus

Columbus, April 20 Third-de-
gree ceremonies are to be omitted
in connection with criminal cases
to be tried in the city court of
Columbus. This is the order of
Judge g. Y. Tigner of that court
and the judge is IN earnest.
1t seems that recently county
officer went to the jail, secured
keys from the iaiIor and took a
negro prisoner from mis- cell to the
Office o. the Jail, where he is said
to have been put through the third
degree in connection with his case.
A white man had been indicted in
connection with the case, both
defendants being charged with
stealing cotton seed meal from a
local fertilizer factory. The white
man accompanied the officer to the
Jail and assisted in the close ques
tioning of the negro. The negro
confessed that be com
mitted the theft and that the white
man was not guilty.
Judge Tigner stated that con-
duct of this sort would not be tole-
rated, and gave warning to court
officers that it was a criminal
offense for an officer to advise q
prisoner to confess and to bring
pressure to bear on him to induce
him to confess.
