STANLEY JUMPS
 AT 11TH HOUR
 ORDER OF BOSS

After having broken his promise of
 more pay for the policemen. when
 there was nothing at stake for him.
 self John c. Stanley, head of the po-
 lice commission, had to fulfill the
 promise Saturday night at the order
 of his political directors.
 With the hold of the Republican
 machine slipping in this city, the lead
 CTS are out after every vote that can
 be obtained by any of the means at their command. They want the po- licemen's vote.
 Saturday night-remarkably near election time-after the policemen had given up hope of getting the | raise through having been rejected imperiously whenever they suggested it, the police board, with Stanley as
 interpreter of the boss orders, revised the salary list. It will be present to the common council tonight for rati- fcation.
 The last time the Republicans
 promised raise, they wanted votes. They got some of the votes but didn't fill their end of the agreement When they got the jobs, they spurned the 1 1 more than ever, and the persons in power are trying to win them with raise in pay.
 The new schedule is as follows: Superintendent from $2.5OO to $3,50O, | newly created office of assistant super ] intendent, now unofficially filled by Captain Charles H. Suckley, $2,OO0; ca ptains, from s1,5O0 to $1,8OO; lieu tenants, from $1, 400 to $1,6O0, ser geants, from $1,300 to s1,45O door, men, from $1,186.25 to $1,350 I Grade A patrolmen, from $1,18625 l to $1,350; Grade B, from $1,095 to $1,250; Grade c, from $1,00375 to l s1,150; telephone operators, from s520 to $780; matron, from s547.5O to $650; stenographer, from $78O to /! $1,040; chauffeurs. from $1,000 to s1,10o.

G. 0. P. STILL HOPING
 FOR SOUTHERN VOTES

Atlanta, Ga, Nov. 6-Notwithstand- ing that the Republicans have fought in several southern states, Democratic leaders today seemed cheerful over the problem of getting out the vote in order to give to President Wilson an unusually large plurality on Tues day.
 Although it is conceded that the electoral vote of the south will go to the Democratic candidate as usual this year the Republicans have picked Tennessee, North Carolina and F'lori- da as favorable battle grounds and have waged hot fights for state and national tickets there. The other

BOTH SIDES-Sub head :. .. BOTH SIDES HOPEFUL
 IN CONTEST FOR UTAH

Salt Lake City, Nov. 6-Both par ties will continue the campaign today when meetings will be held in every part of the state. Interest in the Utah result is especially keen this year because of the fact that the Progress sives have endorsed the Democratic National and state tickets. Each par ty claimed the election last night by comparatively small pluralities. The fight for governor has overshadowed the national campaign to large ex- tent. The contest for United States Senator, in which George Sutherland, Republican incumbent, is opposed by w. H.. King. Democratic nominee, whose candidacy was endorsed by the Progressive party state convention has created little interest.

Mr.. Hughes

to dscredit your President for sparing you the hor TOTS that would come with intervention.
 Read the list still again. Note the names of men heavily intrenched financially in the protective tariff system and in vicious special privilege.
 Read and see why millions are being spent to re- enact the Payne-Aldrich tarif-to wipe out the Fed eral Reserve Systemic repeal the Eight Hour law and other progressive laws - to undo the Wilson Record of unparalleled achievement
 Then understand why Candidate Hughes said in his Milwaukee speech: The whole list of Democratic accomplishment must be wiped off the books for the good of the country"

Vandalism

1t is a whole year before another
Halloween, but II the experiences OF
large number of residents Of the
city are still fresh in their minds
when that time comes, strong and etfi-
cient measures will be taken to guard
against a REPETITION Of the lawlessne ss
of last Tuesday night. Vandalism
and hoodlumism apparently knew no
bounds. Depredations involving pro-
perty loss were committed with an
upper disregard Of the damage done.
Stones were hurled at buildings and
many windows broken. That pedes-
TRANS and persons in their own yards
or their own homes were not injured
was no fault of the gangs OF young
rutfians who roamed around. They
showed Il reckless disregard for eth
er life or property, and created dur
ing that one evening what virtually
amounted to reign Of terror.
These were not the childish prank $
of merry children, or even the mis-
chrevous antics of small boys. From
all reports the damage WAS done by
gangs of young men who seemed to
be possessed of a spirit of vandalism
which took the most vicious form.
The visitation of lawlessness was to-
tally unexpected, and rather more
vicious than is customary on this oc-
casion. Each year has witnessed
more or less mischief making, but
Tuesday night appears to have given
over to more than the usual amount
of destruction, and 1t has unquestion-
ably served rs a warning to the COM
munity which 1t is to be hoped will
not be forgotten next year.
II this one particular evening in t.. 2
year which is additionally given over
to harmless pranks and merriment, is
to be devoted to deeds of vandalism,
then it Is time for citizens who value
their property to take part in the
sport themselves. and give the organ
lied gangs OF hoodlums and ruffians
exactly the sort Of Hollowe'en re-
ception that will abide In their MEM
cries forever after.-Leadville Her

Rexa|| Straw Vote
Proves Correct
Strehlke's of Course Names
Wilson Before Election
5000 Druggists Polled
95l,396 Votes
Returns Covered All States
Returns Covered All States
Local Vote a Big Factor

President Wilson's victory at the
polls recently Is a striking verifica-
ton of the prediction made long be-
fore election day.
Three weeks ago, the &, 600 members
of the Rexall Druggists Association
of which A. l.. Strehlke Is a member
began to take a straw vote Of their
customers. The members Of the asso-
citation being scattered all over the
United States, were able to reach
95l. 1856 voters from all walks Of life.
1t was the biggest straw vote ever
taken and was made possible only by
the national character of the organi-
cation.
The druggists throughout the cOun-
try mailed or telegraphed the results
of the votes cast by their customers
to the national headquarters of their
organization In Boston. There the
votes were tabulated, and the results
of the balloting from all the states
were announced by daily bulletins
mailed from Boston and which were
posted In the 5000 Rexail stores, and
published simultaneously In the lead
ing newspapers of the country.
The first Straw Vote bulletin. sent
out October 18th, showed Wilson In
the lead. The second bulletin, issued
October eth, showed Hughes In the
lead by one electoral vote. From that
date each and every bulletin record
ed steady gains for Wilson, both in
the popular and the electoral vote.
Thefnal Straw vote, dated Novem-
Der 9Th, gave Wilson 554, 500 popular
votes againgt 800, 1855 for Hughes. On
electoral vote Wilson received 287
and Hughes PA of the 268 necessary
to elect.
This nation wide Straw Vote de-
rived it's value from its strictly non-
partisan character. The Rexall Drug
gist, without regard to personal pref
erences, furnished to the national
headquarters Of their association, The
United Drug Company, accurate fig
ures for each days balioting In their
stores. At the headquarters Ia BOstOn
the ballots were tabulated without
fear or favor, the sole object being to
call the turn in politics before cleo
ton.
There is no law in the code Of love
that cannot be eyaded
