(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Nov. 2. (Special.) Followlng
are. the statements of the chairman of the
respective state comnitttees on the cam
paign which Is Just closing:
"Ws ara well satisfied with the progress
of the campaign.' Our organisation la In
lino and alert and will get out the republi
can vote. VTu have had the loyal support
of our county committees, our republican
speakers and press and we are going to
win. The wui of Nebraska will not re
buke the party that has so faithfully re
deemed every pledge made to tha people.
Tha record of performance made by our
. national and state administrations, by con
gress and our legislature will receive the
endorsement of tha loyal people of this
state. WILLIAM IIATWARD.
"Chairman,"
"Toil can aay that tha chances for the
success of tha democratlo ticket next Tues
day are exceptionally good. I don't want
to make any predictions as to msjorletles,
.beeauso It la Impossible to make a guess
as to what tha exact result will be. We
are, however, going to win. There h
not been a time In recent years when
democratlo sentiment Is so pronounced as
now. Wo are going fo win because the
people of the state want a nonpartisan
judiciary and a democrat on the Board of
Regents. A democrat on tha bench and
at the university would act aa a "watch
dog," and aa a business proposition would
be an advantage.
"Then people are beginning to wonder
' who Is to blam for the preset! f financial
stringency. I have heard directly and In'
directly from 'a number of republicans
wldly scattered over the state, who think
' that the most effective way to end the
present, financial difficulty is to silently and
quietly register a protest by voting the
democratic ticket. I think' Judge Loomls
and the remainder of the state ticket will
bo elected. T. 8. ALLEN. Chairman.'
The above statements from Chairman
Hawyard of the republican state committee
and Chafrman Allen of the democratlo
state committee, both-confident of victory,
mark tha close of the campaign, with the
! exception of picking up tho loose ends be
tween now and Tuesday. The republican
claims ara based on reports received from
, workers all over the state with whom the
state committee has been In close and al
most constant touch. Very few meetings
have been held by either the republicans
or democrats and fewer by the minority
party than tha republicans, but the amount
of work done by tho republican state com
mittee baa been enormous. That the demo
. crats have done ' mora In tho Interests of
. the local candidates in those localities
whara they think they have a chance of
sucoess, than they have for the state ticket,
; Is evidenced by tha absence of work being
! dona at the democratic state headquarters
' W. J. Bryan will make a few speeches
' Monday and Tuesday and tha republicans
will hold a big meeting In Llnooln Monday
night.
Milk Below Grade.
Food commissioner Johnson announced
1 tonight that be had Instructed tbe county
attorney of Douglas county to file com
plaints against a number of restaurant
, keepers of Omaha for selling milk which
j floes hot come up to the legal require
ments In tho amount of butter fat con-
talnad. Among tha restaurants named
were the One Minute, the Chesapeake, Bon
Ton, Vienna, Brown's Quick Lunch and
i eight others not so well known. Milk
I sold at these restaurants, Johnson aala,
: contained only 1 7-10 per cent butter fat,
' when tha law requires 3.6 per cent.

Junkln announced this mCrnlug that In
the future he would sign no salary
voucher until the salary was due the em
ploye. In the case of state officers, who
by the provisions of the constitution re
ceive their salary 'every quarter, he said
be would sign the Voucher after the 10th
of the third month In the quarter. It has
been customary In the past for state
officers , to secure their pay before the
quarter is ended, but Mr. Junkln hss dr
illed this Is not right and therefore he
will endeavor to stop the practice.

that It ,1s necessary to get out the vote.

Arguments la llama Case
FREMONT, Neb., Nov. 2. (Special.)
The quo warranto proceedings brought by
John Harris and others against the direc
tors of the Farmland, Fremont and Rail
road Drainage district was heard by Judge
Reeder In the district court room yesterday
afternoon. About fifty people, mostly prop
erty owners In the district, were present.
The parties agreed upon the facta and the
arguments, which lasted most of the after
noon, were confined to legal questions.
Counsel for I lie relators contended that the
act was unconstitutional on account of the
right to voto being based on property qual
ifications and also argued that, granting the
law was constitutional, the notice of the
election for the purpose of organizing the
district, was not published three weeks as
the stHtute requires. The defendsnts con
tended that the constitutionality of the law
was governed by decisions of the supreme
court In tho Irrigation law cases and that
the publication of the notice for less than
twenty-ono days was a substantial compli
ance with the statute and also that the
plaintiffs had no authority to bring the
action. Both parties cited a lot of authori
ties and submitted voluminous briefs. Judge
Reeder took It under advisement. A de
cision Is not looked for within two or three
weeks. In any eveat the case will un
doubtedly go to the supreme court. Both
sides express themselves as being sanguine
of the result.

NS REVIEW OF TRABE
Contraction Follows Financial Crieii
of Last Week.
CONTEMPLATED WORK POSTPONED
Retail Baslnesa Is Bilmmlated by
Seasonable Weather mad Collec
tions Improve with Crop .
Movements.
Bee Want Ads, Are ths Vest Business
Boosters.
NEW YORK. Nov. 2.-R. G. Dun Com
pany's Review of Trade says:
Contraction lias followed the financial
crisis of last week, but only to the xtent
compelled by inatlllly to raise money. There
is no evidence that confidence has been
permanently Impaired; on the contrary
gratification' Is felt that the severe strain
made no deeper Impression. Many . con
templated developments have been post
poned and merchants find rates for com
mercial paper almost prohibitive, yet re
tall trade Is stimulated by more season
able teniperature and at Interior cities col
lections Improve with the movement of the
crops to market.
Conditions In the iron and steel Industry
are not materially altered except that new
business is smaller. Mills continue well
occupied on old contracts as a rule and as
there have been no cancellations It Is pro I)
able that no extensive reduction In activ
ity will take place this year. A fair ton
nage of rails Is wanted for home mads
and export and shipyards sre using plates
freely, yet the volume of new business is
restricted by financial stringency.
Coke output Is at the maximum Slid large
contracts are reported for future delivery,
but the ovens will quickly respond to sny
curtailment of pig Iron production.
Textile manufacturing plants are not re
ducing activity, although there is more
caution regarding future business. In cer
tain lines some accumulation of storks Is
noted, but these are In strong bands that
are not likely to urgs sales at the expmse
of valuea. Moreover, these are exceptional
instances, most lines being sold unusually
far ahead. Cheaper raw material and
tight money Indicate that some sdjustment
la prices may he necessary and that it
would establish the market upon a hfa'th'er
basis, but the present lime Is not propitious.
Much satisfaction la expected in the dry
goods trade over the manner in which last
week's stress was sustained, giving a most
encouraging prospect for the future. Prie s
are still well above tha views of exporters.
The only development In the market for
men's wear woolens Is a moderate supply
of duplicate orders, much uncertainty re
maining as to certain fabrics.
Hides are dull and quiet, tanners mak
ing no bids on account of the scarcity nt
money. Any pressure to sell would prob
ably unsettle values. Country hides ara
weak, several vurletles declining fraction,
ally. Purchases of leather ore also rsj-V
strlcted to immediate needs, but stocks V
are held down by reduced production. 8hlp
ments of boots and shoes from Boston
continue to average lO.OUi cases less than In
the same week last year, but ' the total
since January 1 ia larger than In any year
except line and lil, despite the develop
ment of the Industry outside New England.
Eastern manufacturers report, improve
ments In orders, chiefly In staple lines.
