Considerable excitement was caused Saturday neontime as the result of a wager between two clerks employed in the office of the United States Finish ing company. Charles Williams Evans, the popular young mailing clerk, was very confident of MT. Hughes being elected and therefore made the wager that should he be defeated he would push Herbert H.

Smith decided that he would let his republican enthusiast off by stopping at Pitcher & Services drug store and treating with cigars.
