IS HUGHES ELIGIBLE?
May BE Necessary to Hold Another
Election in the Fourth Congress
sional District.

Special to the Register.
PARKERSBURG, w. Va, November Z.
The question of Hughes eligibility to
serve as Congressman has been raised
here, and that brings up the question of
whether in the event that he was de-
clared ineligible Collins would get the
certificate or whether a new election
would be necessary. The question is
raised on account of Hughes having only
been naturalized last Monday night. Ar
ticle 1, section 2, of the Constitution of
the United States says: mo person shall
be a Representative who shall not have
been seven years citizen of the United
States" The fact that he was naturalized
on Monday indicates that he had never
been naturalized before and the fact that
he has not been citizen for seven years
would make him ineligible. There is a
difference of opinion as to whether in the
event of his ineligibility Collins, who re-
ceived the next highest vote, would be
declared elected or whether new election
would have to be called.

Euchre Party of 1,600.

st. Louis Republic
Over sixteen hundred persons play
ing euchre at one time, and about four
hundred looking on, made the inside of
Armory hall resemble a vast beehive
last night. Sixty-five lodges of the
Ancient Order of United Workmen
had arranged the monster euchre party
as means of celebrating the thirty
second anniversary of the order. In
long lines, stretching from the north
to the south of Armory hall, were thir-
ty rows of tables, each table flanked by
four chairs There were ATS tables in
all. To each row of thirty was
puncher, and as the gong sounded the
swishing and tapping of the falling
cards stopped for a moment, and there
was momentary confusion as the
players moved to the next table. II
was a bewildering sight. The ladies
wore tally cards, with pink strings,
and the gentlemen cards with green
strings. Where more than half of one
sex occupied a table the strings We're
worn as though the sexes were equally
divided.
The first gong sounded at $40
O'Clock. A thousand points rose for the
decision as the games progressed, and
Dr. Greer and his co-workers were
busy men, indeed. A hundred prizes
were distributed to the players on the
platform.

T,sls POPULAR VOTE.

1t is yet too early TO give the total
OF the popular vote east in the country
on Tuesday, or its division between
the parties, but it is probably not far
from fifteen millions. Four years ago
the total was 1S,923,37S, of which Bry-
2an received $500. 1925, Mckinley 1904
779, Palmer (National Democrat) 1885,
124, Levering (Prd) 1S2,Oo7, Henley
(NationaD 1860, and Matchett Social
Laeor) 36,274. McKinley's plurality
ever Bryan was 603,514, and his ma
iority over all 2S6,72S. This year the
fetal vote cast for all parties has in
creased very considerably-M Bry-
ans in a greater proportion than Mr..
McKinley's. The Democratic vote is
probably 7,250,OOO, while Mr.. McKin-
ley's will hardly run very much over
those figures, although his electoral
vote will very largely exceed that to
be cast for the Democratic candidate.
This relative Democratic increase is
largely attributable to the New Eng
land States, where the Bryan vote in
creased wonderfully, cutting the Re-
publican majorities of four years ago
all to pieces in many States.
The returns and estimates at hand
from various portions of the country
reveal several things worth noting. One
of them is that in the Republican East
ern States, including all Of New Eng
LAND. New York, New Jersey, Mary
land, and Delaware, the Democracy
gained, while in the Middle and West
ern States almost without exception,
from Ohio through Michigan, Mime
sofa and on to che Pacific coast, with
only an exception here and there, like
Indiana and Illinois, the Republican
majorities Increased. In other words,
the Democratic Western candidate
gained in the East and lost in the West,
while the Republican Eastern candi-
date lost in the East and gained in the
West In the South, also Mr.. Bryan's
majorities appear, from the present re-
turns, to be generally less than in 1896,
without any especial reason to account
for it. A perfectly satisfactory analy-
sis is impossible until complete figures
are at hand, but stating the case gen
orally, Bryan gained in Tire East and
lost in the West, and Mckinley just the
other way.

OHIO COUNTY's VOTE.

About 1900 votes were cast in Ohio
county Tuesday, as against 11,S76
counted for the head Of the ticket four
years ago, an increase of S24. Five
sixths of the increase appears to have
gone to the Democracy. At the mo-
ment of writing this article the vote
of Ohio county appears to be as fol-
lows: Bryan, 5,315; Mckinley, 1904.
For Governor: Holt, D., 5,545; White,
R., 1927 for Congress, Raymond, D.,
5,4S9; Dovener, R., $3.50. That gives
Mckinley a majority in the county of
1,769, as against LOO four years ago;
White majority of 1882, and Dovener
a majority of 1,4S1, against 1879 two
years ago, a net loss for Dovener Of
19S The total vote for President, in
Guiding scattering ballots, was 12,607,
for Governor 1866, and for Congress
man, 1916. Some scratching of the
Bryan electors is indicated by
the figures, but most of the
difference between the Bryan vote
and that cast for Holt or Hay
mond is made up oy votes cast ior
Woolley, Debs and Barker.

The election of Mr. w. ". Irwin to
the office OF Sheriff by the people Of
this county, Tuesday, called forth
many expressions OF popular approval
yesterday from all classes of people,
without party distinction. His can
s5idacy was distinctly popular from
the first, and his best friends and
staunchest supporters were Republic
cans who could not be influenced or
controlled by the official ring Or their
heelers and supporters. In hundreds
OF Instances attempts were made to
induce Republicans to vote for Tay
lor. Almost invariably the reply was
distinct refusal, and in many cases
very short answers were returned. The
fight on behalf of DR.. Taylor was a
desperate one, but it was lost before
it had fairly started With a major
ity approximating 1,700 for his party
in the county he never mad chance,
and 1t is current report that the Re-
publican candidate fully realized this
some time before election day He
could not afford to show the white
feather however, and gamely stuck to
a lost cause to the last. For Dr. Tay-
lcr personally there is the kindest feel
irg. He did the best he could, and
was ably supported by the organiza-
tion OF his party. He was simply "up
against" a tough proposition It is
probable that no man in Ohio county
could have defeated Mr.. Irwin. He
was too we'll grounded in popular es-
TEEN to he defeated, even with the
uphill fight he was compelled to make.
Almost achieving a victory four years
ago, he won fairly and well this time,
and will make a splendid public Off
Ger, and one in whom the public will
place the greatest confidence. His
party friends return thanks to those
OF the opposition who gave a cordial
support, and this is coupled with the
assurance that the friendly votes Will
not be regretted IL future.

Oh, what blessing It's to work
And drive our cares away.
So that on melancholy thoughts

Work keeps the mind from broodins DER

And it is oft to aching hearts
The greatest blessing sent.
1t gives us something else to do
Than to sit down and brood
And the best medicine twill be
To change a dreary mood
In working we forget the pain
And think of things TO do,
Until We see ifes other side
And take a brighter view.
We others sorrows learn to see,
And try to ease their pain.
While thus. by helping other souls,
Our own content regain.
A blessing It's to help remove
The grief from others hearts.
And such sweet satisfaction, naught,
To our own souls imparts.
