In Belt there have been rumors thai
Rachac had been released by Port
land and was coming back to lead tbs
Miners to victory. 1t made us appre-
hensive for last year we saw the Belt
sluggers vainly stir up the breezss
when that fast ball hoped. We trust
that Rachac will make good Ut Port

We would like to see Watson taken

would not have to face him. We
would not be pleased to see either one

as long as good fortune should take

SCHOOL PLAY MAKES BIG BIG FHIITF FHIIITF

Miss Carter and bunch Of high
school girls and boys put on a very
musical and attractive show at the
auditorium on Friday night when they
presented "Windmills of Holland y 9
musical comedy. They were assisted
between acts by the classes of Misses
Hardness and Anderson, who gave
drills which, because Of the presence
of numbers Of prettily dressed small
girls and boys and the clever manner
in which the drills were executed, gave
great pleasure to the audience.
The auditorium was crowded and
anyone failing to secure the ultimate
amount of pleasure from the perform
ance failed 10 let it be known.
If there is any plot to the play It is

is the chorus Of maidens clad in typi-
cal Dutch costumes who complete the
ensemble.

of the scenes to perfection. Eugenia

Carrie Burnett as the two daughters
sang and acted their parts in excellent

artistic and clever.
For the boys Ralph hfillard as the |
Yankee salesman was ia good voice
and acted the genial suave drummer

CONTEST |SL|KELY
|. OVER IOWA RESULT
Democrats Take Steps, Pre-.
paratory to Challenging
Brookhart in Senate.
By the Asnciated Press

DES MONIES, Iowa. November T.
The United States Senate may decide
| whether Senator Smith w. Brookhart,
Junior Iowa senator, or his Demo-
cratic opponent, Daniel L. Steck, will
occupy the seat held for two years by
Senator Brookhart.
This was indicated$today by prepa
| rations being made by Democratic
leaders and the Secretary of State to
preserve for possible contest in the
Senate all ballots counted and many
that were discarded by the election
judges.
Mr.. Steck had not definitely an
nounced at noon that he would chal-
lenge Senator Brookhart's majority,
| which. unofficially, stands at 1.116.
but Clyde L. Herring, Democratic
chairman, had advised the State ex
ecutive council that recount would
be requested and that all precautions
necessary to an accurate review of
the election by the Senate should be
taken.
Brookhnrt Ii Confident.
Senator Brookhart said he did not
anticipate reversal of the unofficial
result either by the official canvass,
which begins Monday, or by a pos
sible recount in the Senate.
My information from nearly all
parts of the State" the Senator said.
lis that my majority will increase
when the canvass is made. / think
it will be good deal bigger than the
unofficial returns indicate"
The latitude Of the Senate in re-
count matters and the possibility
that that body might not be bound to
follow the letter Of the Iowa election
laws afforded ground for much specu-
lation among Iowa politicians. Some
held the opinion that numerous bal
lots thrown out because Of identifi-
cation marks might be accepted by
the Senate on the grounds that the
intent of the voter was clear. despite
State law.
The ballots in question were

Court Rules on Issue.
The Iowa Supreme Court has ruled
that any mark on a ballot placed out
side the prescribed circle or square,
except by apparent accident, invali-
dated the ballot.
Attorney General Gibson said today
he was not sure that the Senate could
accept these ballots. which have been
ruled out in the State count. They
are to be preserved and sent to
Washington along with the accepted
ballots, If a recount is demanded.
The exact number of these ballots
is not known here. Estimates have
placed the number from several hun
dred to more than a thousand. The
belief that there was a large number
was basedoon -the fact that Repub-
lican newspapers all over the State
published sample ballots carrying ar
rows pointing to Steck's name and
that voters generally might have
gained the impression that the arrow
insert was permissible.
There also were reports that nu-
merous straight Republican ballots
had been discarded.

spect to legislation with an idea of

next congressional election-and 1928
the next presidential contest. One
third of the membership of the SEN
ate changes in two years, and the
primary campaigns of some of these

If the Democrats decide to attempt
a real coalition with the insurgent
Republicans for the benz of the
next campaign they will lay their
plans now.
La Toilette Weak in East.
While the Coolidge electoral votes
came from the West as well as the
East, and even included some Of the
border States where conservatism is
intrenched. the addition of the La
Toilette and Davis popular votes in
the States West of the Mississippi
River shows that the margin for
Coolidge would have been closer had
these two parties combined than
was the case in the East. The Dem
oCratic opportunity doesn't seem to
lie in the East. Nor would it ap-
pear that the labor votes in indus
trial centers of the East are of
sufficient influence to win over the

little impression on the farms of
the Eastern States.
Turning to the West, it is appar-
ent that not only did the Democrats
in large numbers go over to the La
Toilette standard. but that many Re-
publicans went to the third party
ticket. The big independent group
of voters as rule decides elections
in the West There is nothing to
show that La Toilette got bigger
slice of that group than President
Coolidge. All the Democrats can
note from the results is that had
they combined with La Toilette or
had there been. nominated Demo-
crat who could have appealed to the
La Toilette faction the race would
have been closer in the West and
the South would have gone along as
usual.
Under the circumstances the Re
publicans having gathered virtually
all the conservatives, the next move
in American politics will be an effort
to make the Democratic party a lib
eral. if not ultra-radical opposition
to the Republicans. And If they win
converts in Congress these will come
from Western Republicans who think
such a course conforms to the will
of the West.

FORMER DICTATOR
OF VENEZUELA BURIED
Gen. Castro, Who Ruled Country
for 10 Years, Laid at Rest
in San Juan.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press,
SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, December s.
Gen. Cipriano Castro, the man who
for almost 10 years as dictator held
the destinies of Venezuela in his
hand, was buried here yesterday in
alien, but not unfriendly, soil,
shrouded in the flag of his native
land, from which he was an exile.
Gen.. Castro died at midnight
Thursday frcm hemorrhage of the
stomach. after a lingering illness
The last rites over the body of
the one-time dictator were simple.
This was due to the fact that his
family desired quiet funeral. Lope
Beilo, a Venezuelan exile, delivered
an oration at the grave, to which the
body was borne by nephews of Castro
after a service in the Catholic church.
: AS relatives of the dead man were
placing wreaths on the newly made
mound the sunset gun at the army
post at Ell MORO, which overIooks
the old cemetery, was fred, and the
Stars and Stripes were lowered, CIV
ing to the scene a suggestion OF the
honors which once were Castro's.
Not many of the refugee compat-
riots of Castro paid their last re-
spects to his memory. This Is at
tributed to fear that the Venezuelan
government might obtain knowledge
of their whereabouts.
