Many a man has found himself "Within the Grasp" of an embarrassing predicament through false idsas of economy
and the lack of knowledge or indifference to the subject of goods. He has paid stiff prices for wearing apparel that

ONLY A QUESTION OF
REPUBLICAN MAJORITY
(Continued on pace 2)
one only has carried, the remain-j
ing two having apparently been J
snowed under. The one that car
ried is the amendment relating
to the public schools.
For Congress it is almost con
ceded that every congressman
irom this state will be dem
cratic in principles this year.
While there is some doubt ex
pressed as to the successor of
Mr. Garner in the fifteenth dis
trict it comes from the republi
can sources and the returns do
not indicate that there is much
reason for the doubt. This dis
trict is scattered over counties
having few telegraphic and tele
phone facilities and therefore the
returns are not yet complete.
Returns received by The News
show the election of the follow-;
ing named state officers and Con-
gressmen all of them
