meets
Sprague's Defeat Overwhelming
the prohibition issue was the fight be-
tween Deneen and Sprague. The wet
forces were ccntered in support of
Sprague who made repeated public decla-
rations in favor of beer and wine and de-
clared that he would, if elected, vote for
modification of the Vo1stead Act to per-
nit more than one-half of one per cent
alcohol. The Anti Saloon League en-
dorsed Deneen and carried on an extern
siye campaign in his support
With little less than 800 precincts
missing as this is written the vote on
United States Senator shows Deneen l.
335,209; Sprague 653336. Deneen's ma
iority of 681,873 will doubtless be in
creased when returns are complete Ac-
cordingly the effort of the vets to land a
United States senator on beer and wine
platform was overwhelmed by a majority
certain to go beyond 100000 This was
crushing defeat for the liquor forces who
had builded high hopes on the theory
that a strong sentiment for beer and wine
would sweep their candidate into office.
But as i'll the case of many other candi-
dacies the mythical beer and wine senti-
ment failed to naterialze and the newly
elected senator from Illinois will be
staunch supporter of adequate enforce
ment measures.
Next Congress Drier Than Ever
The much heralded reaction against
prohibition was once again proven nom
existent in the last congressional cleo
tions. When the returns are all in it will
probably appear that three or four more
dry U. S. senator's and at least a dozen
additional dry representatives in congress
have been elected.
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1924-11-14

The next Illinois legislature will be
dry. In the fight for control of the lower
house the vets failed to make a gain in
the election. With the results doubtful
III only few districts of the state indi-
catioas are that the drys have gained
three or four additional votes favorable to
enforcement legislation in tie lower
house. In the senate the wet and dry
strength will be divided about the same
margin on the dry side. Although the
vets were determined to control the
lower house in the next session and pos
sibly repeal the Illinois Prohibition Act
they were unable to overcome the
strength of the drys. In the Chicago dis
tricts where the vets are most powerful
they were unable to advance their voting
strength at Springfield. In fact, the roll
call may show that they have lost instead
of gained in their chief stronghold. With
the wet machine unable to materialize
their expected gains, their political power
may start to crumble. Accordingly the
next legislature may prove to be the dry
est ever elected in this state.
Drys Gain in Congress
There will be 19 dry congressman from
Illinois in the next congress. This rep
resents the greatest number of votes fa-
vorable to enforcement legislation from
this state ever seated i'll the national law
making body. The vets who had hoped
to make strong showing in Illinois
where much of their organization strength
was concentrated will show up at Wash
ington with only 8 congressman who are
not favorable to prohibition enforcement.
Furthermore it would not be surprising
if among the 8 upon whom the liquor
forces are depending several would fail
them when the time comes to vote. Elec-
tion returns show that the drys not only
maintained their strength through the
election of drys in every district formerly
represented by dry congressman, but
gain of one for the enforcement side was
made in the 9th district which includes
much wet Chicago territory. James R.

Rice Takes II
Cows to Resort

s. J. Rice owner and manager
of Live Oaks resort, announces to-
day that he has obtained a permit
TO take his cows to thevresort in
the mountains. These II tuberculin
tested Holsteins and Jerseys were
refused admission recently by the
San Diego authorities on account of
the quarantine regulations, but since
that time, San Diego County has
lifted all restrictions so far as Inn
perial County is concerned. This
will insure plentiful supply of
rich, clean milk for the summer res
idents of Live Oaks.
There is much activity at this
popular spot since the warm wealth
er has commenced and practically
all those who own summer cabins
are established in them for the rest
of the season. There are few
desirable places still for rent, ac,
eording to Race.
The two new springs recently
developed on the property insure a
plentiful supply of pure water for
every use for al parts of the camp.

First Article.

First Article.
The safe and profitable invest
from years of experience of
responsible investment bankers
and successful investors.
There is no rule Of thumb for In
vesting. Every investment must be
judged on it's own merits, and the
rules or principles for judging 1t
must fit individual requirements. No
one set Of rules is adequate to meas
ure every investment. But there are
a number of principles which will
enable one to avoid bad investments
and to enjoy the advantages that
come from making good investments.
These principles are the chest of
tools with which investment bankers
and successful investors work. There
is no mystery about investing safely
and profitably.
Inside View Promised.
In these articles I shall try to hold
up a mirror to the investment bank
ing business which is the business
of making and selling investment
securities, stocks and bonds. 1 shall
try to show just what goes on. just
what principles are follow and
why, thereby enabling the inexperi-
enced to know the right kind of in
vestments and to avoid the worthless.
l shall not try to preach nor to tell
entertaining tales of ingenious crooks
and bucket shop operators. People
grow weary of economic preach
ments. Tales of swindles give little
Information to help the uninformed
avoid the next clever and novel fraud.
Through every investment banking
house there is a steady procession Of
executives of every kind of business
public utilities, factories, mills,
mines. hotels, retail and wholesale
stores, timber and oil concerns, state
and municipal officers. They seek
longtime credit.
Volume Of Crfdit Bu.ineA.
Ninety per cent OF business is done
through credit or Instruments Of
credit. The commercial or deposit
banks supply the short-time credit.
The investment bankers supply long
time credit or fixed capital. They
examine carefully tho integrity and
soundness Of the enterprise. More
often than not they reject When
they accept they underwrite a stock
or bond issnIe. That means they buy
the securities from tho enterprise
and sell them to their customers. 1t
is that business procession, the re-
jecting and the making and selling
Of investment securities, that I shall
mirror in these articles, that he or
she who reads may know how to
