KENTUCKY GOES REPUBLICAN,
General Hc.rding Comedies Bradley's
Election.

Louisville, KY, Nov. 6.-The political
landslide struck Kentucky yesterday
with sufficient force to reduce the nor
NAL democratic plurality almost to the
vanishing point, IL 1t has not disap-
peared.
Returns from sixty-three counties out
side of Louisville. complete or estimat-
ed. give Hardin 5S,6 O2 and Bradley Co.
442. In jefferson county (Louisville) the
vote complete is, Hardin 15,796; Bradley
81. 1913. For lieutenant governor, Tyler,
democrat. received l5,A44 and Worthing-
ton, republican, 1903. Other and
dates received about the same vote.
This shows that Hardin was not
scratched, but that h democrats re-
manned at home or voted the republican
ticket. There are fifty-fve counties to
hear from, a majority Of which usually
give large democratic pluralities. Scat
tering returns from about half OF these
counties show democratic losses and 1t
is considered doubtful whether Hardin
can come TO jefferson county with a
vote sufficient TO overcome the repup-
lican plurality of 5.597 here.
The greatest surprise of the election
is in the probable control of the lower
house of the legislature by the repup-
leans. The returns indicate the elec-
ton OF SO republican representatives, IL
democrats and 3 doubtful. Democrats
elect 9, and republicans 9 senators, but
the holdover senator's will give the dem
ocrats a majority in the senate and
probably on joint ballot.

HUNTERS EXPERlM ENT.
The Irrigation Farmer Tells of His
Surprising Success.

Sioux Falls, s. D., Nov. Oh. +.
Hunter. proprietor Of the Hunter exper-
mental farm at Mellette spent the night
in town. He is exceedingly enthusiasts
tic about the result of his experiment
at the farm this year with irrigation.
The big farm netted over $4,000 this
year on an investment of $4,000 which
is 6 per CEN on the investment. Some
adjacent land which can be irrigated
from the well on the Hunter farm sold
this veal for $25 per acre while other
land In the vicinity. not benefited as
yet by irrigation, sold for but S..
There Is no question about the flu
ture of irrigation in this state,' said
Mr.. Hunter. Everywhere in the Jim
river valley the subject is being favor
ably discussed. Every drilling machine
In the state is being worked to it's full
est capacity, and many Of them have or
ders ahead. Today Ill irrigation wells
are being SUM in South Dakota along
the line Of the Milwaukee road alone,
as the result Of visits to his farm.
There is no question that an abundance
OF capital can be secured to drill all the
wells needed as soon as the feasibility
OF irrigation is demonstrated, and | con-
slider that this years experience at my
farm will demonstrate IL to all who care
TO make an investigation. The presence
of a well IN a farm in the hands of a
practical farmer will make a difference
of $40 an acre in the value &c the land
figured on a basis Of its earnings. The
actual cost of spreading the water on
the land is only Is cents an acre"
