CUMNIINS SPENDS LITTLE.
Campaign Expense Account of Sena-
tor is Very Small.

Senator Cummins spent only $50
in his campaign for reelection, az
cording to statement he filed Fri
day in the Office of w. S. Allen,
secretary of state. Maurice Con-
molly has not yet filed his report but
it is said that he spent nearly $20,-
600.
Senator Cummins asserts that h 3
paid out only $3.50 in travelling ex-
penses. What the state central COM
mittee spent for the general ticket he
says he has no way Of ascertaining.
Hon. G. n. Haugen filed an ex-
pense account OF $1,243.S5. He won
out by majority of 5000.
In the local offices Ole Ellingson
for sheriff had a majority of 26S and
Lloyd Christen for treasurer had the
biggest majority of all, S42. Oscar
Winger for auditor had a majority
of over 500.

HIS HOME STATE.

While the west which does not
know the president so we'll, is still
trying to make up its mind about
linn, an interesting sidelight ought
to be afforded by the returns from
New Jersey, where the president is
known and where he has been the is
sue of the campaign.
On election morning the New York
Sun, which has been supporting the
administration said:
Interest in the outcome of today's
election in New Jersey chiefly centers
in the fact that New Jersey is Presi-
dent Wilson's home state and that
the returns will naturally reflect ex-
actly what the home folks think of
the national administration. The
democrats have from start to finish
fought their campaign on the issue
that the presidents policies should
be upheld"
If we now go to the returns we dis
cover that New Jersey will be rep
resented in the coming congress by
eight republicans and four demo-
Gratis, whereas in the present congress
the roll is two republicans and ten
democrats. g..
OF course it may be claimed that
the president was only indirectly the
issue, inasmuch as it was the tariff
and other things that were fought
over.
Still we are entitled to accept the
situation as the Sun announced it.,
and in the light of the returns read
the verdict of his own state on the
Wilson administration.

DOOMED FOR PRESIDENCY.
Senator Cummins's Victory Over Ad-
miniStration Puts Hin in
Foreground.


Des Moines, Ia, Nov. 9.-Cummins
for president in 1916. This is the
word that is going the rounds not
only in political circles of Iowa, but
also in Washington and the east.
AS a result of Senator Cummin5'
victory over the Wilson administra-
ton represented in Iowa by Con-
gressman Connolly, the senator
looms up as the strongest possib;l-
ity for the republican presidential
nomination two years hence.
Cummins was the only republican
senator who made his fight for re-
election by placing himself on rec
ord as being almost squarely oppoa-
ed to the president and his policies
And he was returned to the senate
by a plurality estimated at $4,000.
Cummins was singled out from all
republican and progressive senator's
as the lone man who most viciously
assailed the president in congress"
by William Jennings Bryan, premier
of Wilson's cabinet and Cummins'
success as indicated by the election
returns is the worst rebuke that the
administration has received.
That progressive republican
will be the republican standard bear
er in 1916 is a conceded fact by all
factions. That Wilson will be re-
nominated to lead the democrats IS
also conceded. The president has
let it be known that he himself and
not Connolly was fighting Cummins
in Iowa and the idications are strong
that Cummins will fight Wilson in
the United States.
Cummins strength all over the
country, his long service in public
life, especially in the senate, his ac-
tive participation in framing the
trust laws, the tariff and other pro-
gressive measures have brought him
to the front until he has been recog-
nized as one of the powers among
the lawmakers.
Cummins was candidate for the
republican convention at the Chica-
go convention wnen Roosevelt bolt
ed because of the action of the party
bosses. He withdrew his candidacy
and supported Roosevelt but refused
to quit the republican party when
Teddy organized the progressives.
Friends of Cummins declare that
as Wilson forced the issue in Iowa
Wilson versus Cummins', the ex-
preston will be nationalized during
the next two years when another
presidential election is scheduled.

WHAT INFLUENCES VOTERS.

Revolt against hard times is the
explanation of the election returns
The man out of a job or on half time
voted against the administration
This is what he invariably does. He
votes vote of protest and he votes
vote Of return to things-as they
Observation-Disclosures. That is the
answer in New York, Pennsylvania.
Ohio, New Jersey, New England, and
the great Industrial centers of the
country in the east and middle west
ern states generally.
The election returns can be ex-
planned in the light of industrial con
dltions almost entirely. 1t is not
necessary to go into any refnements
.as to local issues. Just examine the
particular part of the country and
see whether the people have good or
bad times, an endorsement of things
as they are, or at least not a vote of
return to reaction; and if bad times.
"a protest against things as they arc
and vote of reputation. The fur
ther west one goes the less the reac-
tion against the Wilson administra-
ton. This is due to the fact that
travelling west one gets away from
factory conditions and feels more the
prosperity of big crops at high pri-
ces.
This Will explain the election of
Whitman and Wadsworth and the
victory of many republican congress-
men, Brumbaugh in PENNSYLVANIA,
Willis and Harding in Ohio, Sherman
in Illinois, and so on. 1t also helps
to explain the general republican
gains in all New England states and
in New Jersey and wherever else
there are manufacturing industries
In these communities the administra-
tion has been held responsible for
hard times. The voter has not stop
ped to think whether foreign war,
readjustment of business conditions
the new banking laws, tariff, world
panic, or anything else has played
It's part. All he knows is that the
cost of living IS higher, Jobs arc
scarcer, more people are out of
work, and that times are bad" and
he votes to go back to a time when
he remembers when republicans
were N power and he had a Job.

DISBAND WAUKON GUARD.
General Logan Orders Mastering
Out of Company l.

Adj. Gen. Guy E. Logan yesterday
issued an order mastering out of
service Company l, Fifty-third .regi-
ment located at Waukon. The rea-
son given is that the company has
not been able to come up to the
standard required by~the war depart
ment. The armory is said to have
not been adequate.
Colonel Hiatt of the F'ifty-sixth
regiment had recommended that
Mason City be given the militia COM
pany, which was vacated when the
Carroll company. was mustered out
of service a few weeks ago, for re-
fusing to go to camp last summer
Mason City is reported to have a
fine armory and is prepared to take
on another company.

BIG MUSICAL SHOW
COMING TO GRAND
"When Dreams Come True, in Which
Frederic Santley is the Fea-
tured Player Coming Nov.
THIRTY SHAPELY AND
HANDSOME YOUNG WOMEN
The Most Stunning and Elaborate
Costumes Ever Seen in a Mu-
steal Comedy Will be
Shown

The very latest musical comedy OF
fering when Dreams Come True"
with book and lyrics by Philip Bar
Itholomae, and music by Silvio Helm,
lis announced for the Grand, Satur-
day, November 2Sth.
when Dreams Come True" pro-
Iduced originally, in Cleveland, Ohio,
and then taken to Chicago where it
was played for more than six months
at the Garrick Theatre. At the con-
clusion of the Chicago engagement,
the company went to New York and
opened at the Lyric Theatre, where
they stayed three months, they then
transferred to the 44th Street Thea
re. and after ten weeks at that house,
engagements in Philadelphia and
Boston followed.
This is the first season that COIL
prehensive tour of the country has
been essayed. and the play comes 10
us fresh from it's triumphant engage
ments to the four cities mentioned.
when Dreams Come True" is a
musical comedy with blend of mel
odrama. The story is consistent
throughout, in which it differs ma
terially from most of musical shows,
although the musical comedy fea-
lures have not been sacrificed on ac-
count of the dramatic interest, but
they have been so deftly blended
that the play is a marvel of dramat-
ic construction.
A large company, headed by Fred
eric Santley and including several
players who have won distinction in
musical comedy will interpret the
various roles.
The singing and dancing features
call for the service of a large Choir
us, which has been selected with the
idea that they had to sing, to dance
and to look attractive.
The costuming of the play shows
the very latest models of the late
European fashions.
The three acts are entirely differ
cnt in outline, the first carrying some
dramatic touches, as well as a NUM-
her of comic situations; the second
being farcical, as well as number
Of comic situations; the second be-
ing farcical, and the third having
musical and dancing features. The
play contains no fewer than seven
teen dancing numbers, most of them
invented and directed by Frederic
Santley the leading member of the
cast. In the company in addition %
Mr.. Stanley will be found Connie
Mack, Florence lee, Jack Mundy,
Anna Little, Andrew Glassford arl
other well known musical comedy
artists. A chorus of 80 exceptionally
shapely and handsome young women,
will act as a background for the prin-
cipals and wear some of the most
stunning and elaborate costumes
ever seen in musical comedy. Seats

COPPER

A wonderful example of com
 mercial interlocking of widely separated countries is the stag nation in the copper industry which has immediately followed the breaking out of war in Europe.
 Producing considerably more than one-half the copper of the world, .he United States is, naturally, the largest exporter of this metal.
 According to the figures com piled by the government, out of total production last year of 1 1,243, 268, 72O pounds we exported as raw metal 128. .682, ,OOO pounds and as manufactured" copper 981, ,154, 391 pounds. It is to be noted that these exports includ- ed everything made solely of copper from bars to wire and other such products. As a mat ter of fact the manufacturing cost is almost negligible, adding, on the average, not to exceed. 3 per cent to the value of the in- gots.
 The European war means the entire cessation of these exports, as far the greater portion there of go to Europe, principally to England, France and Germany.
 The ultimate users of copper in the United States can con- Sume only a certain amount of the raw material and, should the mines continue the production on the same scale as last year, they would find themselves with out a market for their product. Hence it has become necessary to close down the mines and to the extent of the ex- port production at least.
 Like every other cloud this has silver lining It seems impossible that the war should long continue. No nation in Europe can stand the cost for more than a few months and it is not improbable that sixty days at the outside will see the end. The destruction of tele- telephone and power lines will forthwith create an unpre- cedented demand for the red metal and the industry at large will, on the cessation of hoStili- ties, find ready market at good prices.
 It is also true that while the copper market may be disorgan- ized, all other producers, espe- cially of food -stuffs and cotton and wool will be greatly benefit d.-Exchange.

THE BOLD GAME OF WAR

Germany is playing the boldest game of a century. says the Ell Paso Herald. She may have to fight Russia on the east, France, Belgium and Holland on the west, and Great Britain on her north coasts, all at the same time. Germany has already invaded three different countries border ing her frontiers - Russia, France and Belgium. But by having taken the initiative, Ger many has gained an advantage. Now, according to European strategists, Germany's game will be to whip France before Russia can get ready to attack the eastern frontier in force. So far, Austria has made no movement into Russia. Ger many no doubt depends on Austria to hold Russia off during the fighting with France.
 The very sportiness of Ger many's endeavors attracts the
