COURT HOUSE OFFICES LIKELY TO
Be CHANGED BY ELECTION IN COUNTY

Casting one of the largest votes
ever recorded in this county, Dem-
ocratic supporters defeated the
legislative ticket of the Republican
party, with the possible exception
of the state senator, and turned
down the chairman of the board
of county commissioners for re-
election. No offices in the court
house will change hands, however,
as a result of the balloting.
Returns from a majority of pre-
cincts wes recorded by noon
Wednesday, with Red Lodge and
Sage Greek returns outstanding.
Final results were definitely indi-
Gated, with doubt lingering about
only one office, that of state SEN
ator, contested for by Fl. A. SIM
mons and M. F. Emmett.
AS snow began to whirl about
the court house Tuesday night,
first returns came in slowly from
the outlying districts. Reversals
of popular expectation in the first
reports were smoothed out as the
night wore on, and before morn
ing it was certain that most pres
ent office holders were safe, but

HOOVER ADMITS
DEFEAT BEFORE
VOTES ALL IN
Congratulates Opponent As
Tide Rises; Roosevelt
Gets County Vote

A gigantic tide of votes rolling
westward with undiminished force
has swept Democratic forces
aligned behind Franklin ID. Roose-
welt into control of the national
and many state governments.
In the Republican column of
President Hoover only six states
definitely were aligned, as returns
from what promised to be a new
record popular vote poured in
early Wednesday from last east
ern districts and the west. The
Hoover states were Delaware,
Maine, New Hampshire, Connecti-
cut, Pennsylvania and Vermont.
With only 100000 votes
counted in one-third the nations
election districts, the Democratic
standard held a plurality near the
100000 mark, for an electoral
vote already over 400 out of a
possible 351. If popular balloting
maintains this pace in the remain
ing districts, the aggregate vote
promises to exceed 1925 record
of 100000 by 100000.
Indicative of the Democratic
strength were pluralities in such
normally Republican states as
Michigan Indiana 0hio Iowa
Kansas and Utah, and mounting
margins of victory on the west
coast which apparently were en-
quilting President Hoover's own
state of California.
With the national ticket, a Dem
ocratic senate and house seemed
assured, together with victories
for this party in a majority of the
35 gubernatorial contests. Accom-

BANK CALL SHOWS
HIGH CASH ASSETS
Statements Reveal Institu-
tions Are in Strong Liquid
Position.
BY CHAS. p. SHAEFFER,

ASSoCIdteo fresS Business Writer.
Bank statements thus far published
in response to the recent call indicate
an abnormal state of liquidity.
This is particularly true of large
cities leading institutions, which have
disclosed an almost impregnably strong
position, the reported cash and United
States Government bond holdings Of
many being equal to more than so per
cent of total deposits.
The reason for this situation is in
exigencies that have confronted the
banking world the last two years. Lack
of confidence on the part of the public,
superinduced by some bank failures,
eXerted on the institutions pressure to
keep liquid, while the condition of the
corporate capital market virtually drove
the banks to seek an outlet for their
surplus funds in Governments.
This increase in holdings of Govern
ment securities has amounted to more
than 10 per cent since the first OF
last year. This is shown in the last
statement of condition of member
banks made public July IL and COW
ering the week ended July 6. At that
time the ratio of Government security
holdings to all other investments was
ST per cent, compared with 46.5 per
cent at the beginning of 1881.
This situation signifies that there
is an abundance of money available
for credit expansion and for invest
ment in commercial securities when the
time is felt propitious. The accumu-
lation of Governments by banks, there
fore, is seen to have been not for
need for this type of security but
rather in pursuance of a safety-frst
policy.
The banks say their first duty is to
the public. which they can serve best
by remaining liquid.

met by the currency expansion amend

passage through Congress prevented
any further rise on the part of Treas
