of tho Twelfth are tho only Democrats
that have been elected on the face oi

of Joel Hubbard. In the Ninth Champ
Clark has been deteated by Treloar OF
Adrian, q school teacher, with protec

Joy in the Eleventh and Ranney in the
Thirteenth, swell the Rspubllca ns
column. The IS Hsmp Angel" District
of the Southeast whore only Democrat,

Mosely, the Republican candidate. Fol
tho first time 10 twenty-five years ths
Southeast has tailed to como up rock
ribbed for tho Democratic ticket. Coun
ties which have never gone Republican
since tho OK. Confederates were restored
to citizenship have elected the entlrs
Republican ticket. Analysis Of tho vots
as shown by returns received at Demo
cratic headqurters shows that no por
ton. of. the State has bsen exempt from
tho shaking up. It is just as bad down
along the Arkansas line as it is up on
tho Iowa border. The Mississippi River
counties are as badly "slumped" as Il
the tier which borders Kansas.
