MOTOIl COMI'ANV TA K ICS STIIKF.T.
Begins to l.nj' Second Truck on South
'.Until Despite thr Council.
Tho motor company yesterday resumed
tho work of laying a second track on South
Main f street. Up to lost nlGlit no effort
had been made on the part of tho city
authorities to stop the work. The com
pany has for several days past been replac
ing the old rails on Its single track on
Main street with heavier steel nnd yester
day morning commenced taking up tho
granlto paving, preparatory to laying the
second, track. Work was commenced Just
north of tho "Y" nt Fifteenth avenuo and
by evening had extended north to nbout
Thirteenth avenue.
As soon ns tho work of taking up the
pavement was commenced word was sent
to Mayor Jennings by tho policeman on
the beat, but he decided not to intcrfcro ns
ho said tho matter had passed out of his
hands. Speaking of tho matter, he said,
"I shall not Interfere. Tho matter was
up to the council Jost Thursday night, but
boyond referring It to tho city solicitor for
an opinion as to tho company's rights on
that street, tho nldormen failed to tako
any action of doflnlto form. Tho Surburban
company has tendered to tho city tho cost
of tho paving, which I contended It should
do when I stopped tho work last Monday.
Tho money having been tendered I do not
know exuetly what nuthorlty I now havo
In the matter. If the motor company has
no right to lay n second track on Main
street It can be treated as a trespasser."
Goorge F. Wright, attorney for tha motor
company, when seen, stated that tho com
pany had tendered tho cost of tho paving
and It now had tho right to resume tho
work which had been stopped by the mayor
until tho money for the paving had been
paid Into the city treasury. Tho fact that
tho city council did not accept tho money
does not affect the company's rights on
tho street It has tendered tho monoy
and the check Is now In tho hands of the
city clerk,
Bomo of tho aldermen seemed to bo under
tho Impression that an understanding was
reached at tho city council moetlng last
Thursday with Attorney Wright, that the
motor company would not do any work
on Main street until City Solicitor Wads
worth bad handed down his opinion. They
so informed Mr. Wright yesterday after
noon when they learned that tho wor'.t of,
laying the second track had been com
moncod, but ho denied that any such under
standing had been reached and that the
aldormen, If they thought so, must have
been mistaken.
Mayor Jennings suggested last ovenlng
that tho matter was now up to the courts
io uetermlno whothor the motor company
had nny right to lay a second track on
Main street nnd he belloved tho unnnnr
tho controversy was thus settled the bottor.'
city hotictor Wndsworth said yesterday
that ho would not havo time to prepare
an oplulon on the matter by Monday night,
at which time the council will meet, but
ho hoped to have It ready ,by the Monday
following,

DES MOINES, Nov. 3. (Special Tolc
gfaui.) The campaign so far as the re
publican nnd democratic state central com
mittees are concerned ended today. Tho
force of clerks have been discharged from
both committees and tho heads of depart
ments nro dealing up thu details of their
olllces preparatory to departing for tholr
soveral hoinea tonight. Somo will return
Monday In order to assist In compiling
election returns, but the work of the com
mittees proper Is over and the resultB rest
with the voters themsolves. Chairman
Weaver of tho republican state committee
was asked for a statement of the situation.
Ho said:
On tho ovo of election wo feel wnrrantcd
In claiming an overwhelming victory for
tho republican tlckot In lown. These
claims are not mere guess work, nor are
they for campaign purposes or as a b.utT.
Ihcy ure made after a careful investigation
of the situation In all parts of the stute
and after giving due weight to nil Informa
tion obtainable. Ono Important reason tor
the encouragement that the committee
reels nt this time Is the growing evidence
that thero will bo a larger republican vote
polled than usual. Tho heavy registration
U cum evidence of this. Tlio registration
In tho cities Is In nearly every cuso larger
lliiiu it was li lSUtt ami tho Indications ure
that tho republicans will be the galnerH
by this Increase. Tho reports from thu
rural districts also tiro of an encouraging
nature and the committee feels entirely
justllled In making tho clnlm that tho
farmers will very generally vote the repuu
tlcu.it ticket this fall. Ah a clnss tho
fnnners are alwnyh seriously affected by
hard times and poor markets, nnd on tho
other hand are grently benefited by pros
perous times, with their attendant good
prices and Improved markets.
From these Indications and a careful
comparison of the reports received from
each of the counties In the state wo nre
convinced that MeKlnloy nnd Roosevelt
will havo a plurality of nt least 70,000 In
Iowa, provided tho republicans turn out
and vote ns the Indications now clve evi
dence that they will. We are also cf.rtaln
that each of tho republican cnndldntes for
congress will be triumphantly elected.
Democratic l'olnt of View.
Chairman Huffman of the democratic
state central committee looks upon the
situation through different glasses from
those used by Chairman Weaver. After
clearing away some correspondence that
lay heaped beforo him he lot up his Dual
labors long enough to say:
This committee at tho beginning: of the
campaign decided that closo attention to
the work before It would bring better ro
HUlta than frequent statements In tho pub
lic press us to the things that wero going
to be accomplished, and therefore little
has been herd from the stato commutes
headquarters ns to the political situation
In the state Hut now that the contest Is
practically ended, so far us this commit
tee Is concerned, it will not be a vlolntlon
of the early policy that the situation in
Iowa at largo and In four congressional dis
tricts In particular Is highly satisfactory
to tlui commltteo nnd tho leaders of tho
democratic party.
It Is not to be expected even ut this
Into hour that the chairman of a stato
coinmltten would go Into detail to an extent
that would udvlse tho enemy of his plan
of buttle, of his hopes nnd fears ns to
results nt all points where ho had reason
to believe tho battlo would wngo fiercely
with the results In d-jubt, but the public
nttentlon la cnlled to the clnlm that tho
democrats will not only materially lower
the plurality given Mckinley In lfc98, but
wi'.l elect n congressman In the Second
nnd Sixth districts mid give the republicans
tlio fight of their Uvea In tho First nnd
Eighth. Nothing can be gained by making
this statement nt this lute hour, but the
lack of political motive is not the thing
which establishes Its correctness beyond
duestlon. The very faet that the renub.
llcans In Iowa are calling with a lojd volco
upon tho national committee for help In
tbo dlstrfctb named and the spectuclo of
dozens of the ablest orators of tho oppo
sition party laboring day nnd night tlicro
at this time Is nn admission of the clulms
of this committee, Tho democrats will
have two congressmen sure, with the
dinners more than even for four, and
' surprise Is In store for the republicans ns
to tho voto on president in the stnte.
1 Tho situation in Iowa may bo said to be
I without especial Interest except as to
, tho congressional contest In tho Second
district. Tho state will give McKlnley a
larger voto than In 1S96 Is tha opinion of
the best posted men of both political par
tics. Tho republican leaders feel more
certain of tho election of Captain Rumple
In the Second now than at any time during
tho campaign. It Is the general belief that
Henry Vollmer will be defeated by at least
750. In tho Sixth, whero tho democrats
have been very active, the situation may
bo summed up In tho statement that Con
gressman Lacey enn only bo defeated by
tho failure of his homo county to cast
Its voto for him, which Is a mighty weak
hopo for democracy to lean upon. The
democrats will have to show surprising
strength in Mnhaska and Wapello counties
to seriously endangor tho success of La
coy. All districts ure believed to be safely
republican.
