VERY LIGHT VOTE
CAST EARLY TODAY
IN CITY ELECTION
Returns From Seven Precincts
Show Less Than 700 Votes
at l p. M.-McMillan and
Eagleson Both Confident.

Early votes did not make their ap-
pearahce at the polls today in the
mayoralty contest. Returns of the
vote cast In seven precincts up to l
CLOCK this afternoon showed less than
wv votes mad been cast. Friends of
john Mcmillan and friends of Ern G.
Eagleson are both predicting their
election and the candidates themselves
feel conditions Of their success in the
outcome.
Inc heaviest vote recorded up to /
O'Clock was in precinct No. 8, where
l2o votes had been cast. No. 2, or the
Icity hall precinct, came second with
III. In the other five, not one had
100 votes cast. Precinct No. 8 seemed
to be especially dragging, 80 votes be-
ing the total cast.
Friends of the candidates We're astir
early and indications pointed to an
interesting and lively election from the
time of the opening of the polls at 8
O'Clock until the close at o'clock this
evening. The interested ones We're on
hand and voted shortly after tho OPEN
ing hour and from then on until /
O'Clock only few straggers appeared
at the polls.
AT the former election, the morning
vote was light, but picked up materi-
tally during the afternoon. Predictions
are that heavier vote will be cast
than at the first election when 1922
votes for mayor We're cast.
Election returns will be received at
the Evening Capital News office short
ly after the polls close. Those wishing
to know the result may watch the bull
letins to be posted in the front office
or call up "a or rs and the figures on
the standing of the candidates will be
given. Unless the vote is heavier than
at the first election, the result should
be known within an hour after the
polls close.

NOV|CES TAKE LONG
T|RESO|ME JOURNEY

The men seen travelling unsteadils
at an early hour this morning to vaA-
Gus sections of the city, into hotels
and rooming houses, were not men of
the class whose condition would cause
them to be taken by the police. They
were no longer novices. They had
crossed the burning sands with the
Arab patrol at Shrine Mosque at
Twelfth and Idaho streets Monday
night. There were IS who took the
journey. They modestly stated this
morning that the trip was worth while,
that they paid their way. but refuse
to be interviewed on the scenery or
people they met enroute.
The high jinks of the Shriners began

was held early, dinner was served at

van started on Its journey, the novices
linked together. sausage like. The trip
was evidently long one, according to
the wife of now full -fledged Shriner,
who started a novice last night, for
she gives it out, he did not show up
until daylight Tuesday morning.
The Shriners have an exceedingly
large membership and they were all on
the job last night. The Arab patrol
was at its best and not guest max

The Most Favorable Loan.

IT liz conditions announced for the vic
tory loan are more attractive, ES-
u PECIALLY TO THE SMALL PUR-
CHASER, than those of any previous loan.
They are SO very favorable, indeed, that in
spite of the partial business depression
existing, and in spite of the lack of war
time appeal, it seems foregone conclusion
that there will be an avalanche of subscrip-
tons as soon as the books are opened.
The interest rate itself, 4a4 per cent, is
remarkably liberal considering the abso-
lutte nature Of the security. If it carries no
special appeal to the rich man, because of
its being subject to taxation, it appeals all
the more strongly to the man of modest in
come whose '434 per cent is all gain That
is more than the big majority of Americans
are able to get from their savings bank de-
posts. 1t is more than the interest on war
savings stamps
The short period these bonds have to run
also commends them to millions of people.
The idea of getting their principal back in
four years makes the investment seem
more like an ordinary loan than a 20 orr
3O-year bond, and, therefore, they are more
ready to part with their money.
The terms Of payment as has been al
ready remarked by everyone interested in
the matter, are more generous than ever
before, giving the purchaser nearly eight
months if he follows the United States
treasury installment plan.
Added to all these favorable conditions
is the relatively small amount of the issue
only $4,500,0O0,000. The public expected
an issue of no less than $6,OOO,OOO,OOO, the
amount asked for in the fourth liberty
loan. And these bonds take on additional
value from the fact that over-subscriptions
will not be accepted

no occasion for it, since the natives do not
ask for it and the United States is glad to.
keep the islands. 1t is quite possible,
therefore, that we shall admit them to
statehood eventually. Indeed, it is prob
ably inevitable, if we keep them, because
no American citizen wants to continue in
definitely governing any subject people"
or denying anybody under the American
flag any civic rights that he himself pos
sesses.

American Colonies.

MANI n AXE told there is an alternative
WNV| to Philippine independence, that
wv the islands might be admitted to
statehood which would be as much a full
flllment OF American pledges and an APP
phcatlon OF the determination
principle as turning them loose to shift for
themselves.
Such action, however, would presuppose
a desire for statehood on the part of the
Flllpinos, and there is little indication of
any sentiment for it among them.
1t is doubtful, too, whether statehood
would work very well in this case. The
Philippines are too far away and too diff
ferent IN nature to fit into the Union prop
erly. We have got along well with our ma
tlonal federation because our states form
one compact mass and the people are, with
negligible exceptions, one race speaking
the same language and having the same
ideals and institutions. States banded to-
gether have to legislate for each other, The
filipinos would be poorly qualified to vote
intelligently on American questions, and
the Americans would be just about as
poorly qualified to vote on Philippine
questions. The islanders have made the
most rapid progress toward self-suffi-
cheney since they were given their own
congress. 1t is just as well for the two peo-
pies to keep their hands off each others
affairs.
With Porto Rico and Hawaii the situa-
ton is somewhat different. Both of these
possessions are near our mainland, and
both have considerable and increasing
proportion of American settlers. The ma
tlves, too, probably average somewhat
higher than the Filipinos, who are intelli-
gent and capable at the top with a stratum
Of savages at the bottom.
There is no talk Of giving independence
