little encouragement. and while
there are many who believe that
the higher discount rates may bring
about further liquidation by certain
syndicates. the actual result will
only be the elimination of a few

ROUND HOUSE NOTES
(By G. Reese Plugg.)

In view of the fact that many
heretofore staunch and true Demo-
Gratis and Republicans have announc-
ed that this time they are going to
vote opposite to the way they have
been voting, and in view of the fact
that the heretofore solid south haB
shown signs of not being as solid as
it was thought, and is being invaded
by the Republicans in the hope of
further weakening its solidarity, and
in view of the fact that the hereto
fore solid state of Main has gone
hopelessly Republican in the recent
primaries, therby causing much con-
sternation and scratching of scalps
by the political dopesters, can any
one blame the working man for vot-
ing for the man who promises to
give him the most for his vote when
it comes to matters political? And
whose past conduct in politics shows
him to be either a friend or an
enemy.

Henry Ford has reduced the price
of the Ford cars so that everyone
can buy if they wish. Following his
example other firms of car manufac-
turers are reducing the cost of theirs.
1t is also reported that other lines
of business are following Ford's ex-
ample and are cutting cost of art
icles Leading manufacturers in the
east predict that an enormous reduc-
ton in the cost of shoes, clothing and
the like will occur in few months.
Lumber interests will also be forced
to reduce, so the report is. In spite
of all that happens in the east, we
have noticed no tendency on the part
of local merchants to make any big
reductions.
