But how low can we make the price, is the
question we ask ourselves when, marking our
goods for sale. That's what makes ours an

it tells the story through the purse in thousands
of homes, only to be retold in countless others
by appreciative money savers.

that the legislature would stand 75 re
publicans and 70 democrats.
With more complete returns today
than were obtainable last night it is
evident that it will require an official
count to satisfy the contestants. The
closeness of the election has caused in
tense fi-eling and a cty of fraud. The
state headquarters will be kept open
until the official counts are made in all
the 88 counties of the state. It is ex
pected there will be trouble in some of
the close counties. There will no doubt
be much agitation in a 1 of them to
night.
The Dispatch (independent) has
specials today from all close counties.
It mk''g the leMature on joint ballot
stand 73 republicans and 72 democrats,
and claims there is no doubt about this
result.
It seems to he conceded that what
ever may be the final outcome on joint
ballot for senator that the d.-inocrats
will have a majority of state senators
and the republicans of representatives
As there will be a continued contest of
one branch of the legislature against the
other, no part ii an bills can be passed
