THE LIBERTY LOAN.

From the vaults of the banks and
the hidden stockings came a golden
stream of subscriptions to the Liberty
loan in the first two days OF the offer
ing With less than six per cent of
the financial institutions heard from
the subscriptions reached si1l,s51.0O
and on Saturday were received at the
rate of s@0,0Uv 900 an hour and later
az 100000 a minute. II the ratio is
maintained the loan will be over sub
scribcd by zoo per cent.
The best feature Is that the money
came from every nook of the repul-
lie, from the ice clad fields OF Ala ska,
where the citizens of Fairbanks took
$4,000, from the sun kissed valleys of
Porto Rico. from the Philippines.
where Uncle sam has educated his
adopted brown skinned children into
the wisdom of saving their earnings
hontana's share thus far is t6l1, 600
an excellent showing and much larger
than that of her surrounding sister
states.
Thus the Liberty loan becomes a
popular loan in the largest sense. It
means that the heart beat Of the ma
ton is fast Quickcning 10 a patriotic
rythm.

LYONS ASKS RECOUNT.
Former Now Britain Man Ran for
 Sheriff in Manhattan.

~~~~AAAA~~%AAOAA0
 Another New Britain boy figured prominently in the New York cleo tions Tuesday, He is John J. Lyons, a candidate on the Fusion ticket for sheriff of Manhattan county. MT. Lyons was defeated by a small majority of 8,0e2 votes by David H. Knott, Tammany's candidate. He has demanded a recount, however, and figures that when the soldiers vote is heard from, New Britain may boast of two New York sheriffs. Lyons is a successful lawyer, was born in this city and received his early education here.
 MT. Lyons claims that several thousand protested and void ballots should be credited to him. In these three districts, he said, the vote showed that he was apparently beaten to 1. while in other districts his op- ponent led him by only 2 to 1.
 MT. Lyons said further that when the soldier vote was heard from he expected to be we'll ahead Of MT. Knott. as he was especially strong in the soldier camps, haxipg spoken at Spartanburg twice ana at Yap- hank three times. AS a Spanish war veteran, he made direct appeal to officers and enlisted men now in the service, and, with an estimated soldier vote of 28,000, he said the full returns would show that he had been elected
