IP IN AKMS NOW WANT 11KTTKK SKItVIC'K The Commercial Club has come to the conclusion that Alliance needs better telegraph service and have de termined to file formal complaint with the state Kailroad Commission setting forth in a clear and concise manner the need for better Bervice and telling of the Inadequateness of the present service. A meeting of the officera of the telegraph company held not a great while ago promised that two messen- ger boys would be added here to help expedlate the business of deliv ering messages. Up to the present time the company la doing business in the same old way without the two extra messenger boys. Business and professional men and others complain that It is impossible for them to handle their messages prop erly over the telephone and that the local telegraph office, which la locat ed in the depot, is too far from their places of business for them to walk down with their messageB. Other towns and cities are afforded better service in this respect. The state Hailway Commission has the power to make the telegraph company give Alliance better service. The Commercial Club expects that within a short time now some action will be taken, soon after the real fHcts are known. HAY HACK FALLS ON HIM Harry M.

The structure will rank among the fine lodge buildings of the atate, and it represent an out lay of over $20,090. Woodrow Wilson was re-elected president of the United States at the general election held Tuesday of last week. For several days the result was uncertain and first one aide and then the other waa claiming a vic tory, but now after more than a week following the election ami with but two states really uncertain Wil son has 272 votes in the electoral college and Hughes 243. It takes 266 votes to elect. Minnesota and New Hampshire aro still doubtful. Minnesota will remain doubtful un til the vote of the national guards men on the border is known. New Hampshire will remain In doubt un til the official recount Is completed. California was In the doubtful list for a time but is now regarded as for the president, The Popular Choice President Wilson is the popular choice having received a popular vote of 8,563,713 as compared to 8,160, 401 for Hughes, a lead for the Pres ident of 403,312. Wilson increased his popular vote over four years ago by 2,360,593. His vote in 1912 wa3 6.203,120. The Wilson States The following states went for Wil son and gave him votes in the elec toral college as follows: Alabama 12: Arizona 9; California 13; Color ado 6; Florida 6; Georgia 14; Idaho 4; Kansas 10; Kentucky 13; Mary land 8; Louisiana 10; Mississippi 10; Missouri 18; Montana 4; Nebraska 8 Nevada 3; Now Mexico 3; North Car olina 12; North Dakota R; Ohio 24; Oklahoma 10: South Carolina 9: Tennessee 12: Texas 20; Utah 4; Virginia 12; Washington 7; Wyom ing 3. A total of 272. The Hughes States Hut-lies curried the following states and will receive votes In the elector ial college as follows: Connecticut 7; TVdewnre s; Illinois 29: Indiana LI; Iowa 13: Maine 6: Massachusetts 18; Michigan 15; New Jersey 11; New York 45: Oregon 5; Pennsylvania 38; Rhode Island 5; South Dakota 5; Vermont 4: West Virginia 8; Wis consin 13. A total of 243. The vote for a deceased Democra tic elector in Washington hay give Hughes one elector in that state and a vote for a deceased elector in West Virginia may give Wilson one elector In that state. Vct and South Unite A Glance over the states going for Wilson shows that the solid south nd the ffeat west united In re-electing a people'B president. This is the first election, save one, in which a president was elected who did not re ceive the New York electorlal vote. It shows that the great multitude of common people hnve been able to elect a president without the aid of Wall Street and Tamnny Hall. The west has asserted Itself. The west has at last came Into Its own. Hereto-fore the west did not count for pmi'i nolltictlly but it is now entirely probably that four years from now when another campaign is made that both parties will shoot strong am munition In t he states of the great west.

S. Hargraves, John W. Guthrie and II. J. Ellis will bo found in clear, tabu lated form on the first page of the second section of this lr.sue of the Herald. The table affords ample op portunity for comparison as well as showing the total vote in the county for each candidate. In the case of the president vote it wns not thought necessary to give the vote for each elector, so the largest single vote for an elector for each party is given op posite the names of Wilson and Hughes. POSSIBLE THAT ALLIANCE WILL Ui: OUT OF THE MUD Right now there aro Indications that would lead an observer to think that perhaps there Is some possibil ity that after all Alliance will soon be out of the mud. The Alliance Commercial Club has instructed the secretary to investigate the paving proposition and gather Information as to the relative cost of the differ ent kinds of paving, the durability of the several kinds, etc. The sec retary will start Immediately to i-'ather the desired information that the club may have a better Idea of how to uo ahead In the work of try ing to Improve the streets of the city. No definite action- of any sort has been taken as regards the paving of the streets, but with the Information at hr.nd the club will bo in a position to go at the matter in an intelligent manner later when definite action may be desired. INSTALL TWO ELECTIMC OVENS The equipment In the home-economics department at the Central school has been bettered by the ad dition of two electric ovens. Classes from each of the schools will use the equipment at the Central school. KESOLUTIONS OF ItESPECT Whereas, Our all-wine and loving Heavenly Father has decided-b?st to remove from our ranks our beloved co-worker Teressa Marie Southard, and Whereas, We realize that In her death we have lost a staunch sup porter of the cause of righteousness who has given many yearn of loving service in the Master's vineyard, Be It resolved, that we, the mem bers of the Alliance W. C. T. U.. ex tend to the bereaved family our heartfelt sympathy In their sorrow; Resolved, that we point them to God, who alone can comfort and sustain them in the hour. of affliction and who has promised to make all things work together for good to those who love Him; Resolved, that we list our hearts in prayer that He may help us to live righteously that when our sum mons comes we, too, may rest in peace with Him; Resolved, that these resolutions be spread upon the records of our Union, a copy sent to the bereaved family, and published in the Alliance papers.

Mr. O'Mara owns one of the best ranch es in Sheridan county and is making money hand over fist. In conversa tion with him we learned that his clip from Lia sheep the past season netted him $7,390.50, and he sold $12,072 worth of sheep. Under the republican administration and a "high tariff" Mr. O'Mara sold his wool at from 12 to 15 cents per pound. But under a democratic ad ministration and a protective tariff he received from 2 5 to 2 8 cents per pound for wool. Yet there are some people who will insist on vot ing their own deatructlon. Have money by buying a uaed auto from The llunier Motor Company, He Jack True.
