startled the world. The achievement
of these young kings of-finance waa a
surprise to financial circles and showed
inemtCHpaoie sons ok ineir miners in
the handling of money and politics.
Selecting a product or nature. In the
manner of Standard Oil. these young
financiers' decided upon rubber ' as the
article around which they would build
a monopoly. . Reading the future, they
have foreseen that the growing demsnd
for "their" article will continue for
yesrs to -come and have succeeded In
their plans by not alone 'controlling the
source of supply, but also the means of
refining the crude rubber into articles

...The friends of Torn Word are grin
ning broad, happy grina today, for the

water mark at the end of tha second
day, haa steadily declined since then.
Yesterday morning Stevens began the

that lead reduced to aeveni and Stevens
spirits down proportionately. Tha re
count thla morning reduced Stevens'
lead three more, leaving him a margin
of . only four to be overcome In tha
counting of it precincts. Thus the re
count so far favors Word by one vote.
It will be seen from these figures
that the situation ia much as it was at
