LAFOLLETTE CHOSEN
CARRIES WISCONSIN FOR GOV.
ERNoR BY At LEAST FIFTY
THOUSAND.

Milwaukee. Nov. 1o.-The result of
the election in Wisconsin shows that
Roosevelt ran ahead of every ticket
and carried the state by a plurality
estimated at between 10000 and 75,.
900; that Governor Lafollette has been
reelected by a plurality of about 5O,-
900 and that the congressional COM
plexion remains unchanged from two
years ago. The legislature. which is
to elect u United States senator to
succeed Joseph v. Quarles. is largely
Republican and the question of
whether Wisconsin shall have pri-
mary election law has carried by a
safe majority. One of the surprises
in the election was the big increases
in the vote Of the Social Democratic
party. Four years ago that party
polled 4,458 votes in Milwaukee coun-
ty; two years ago 10,704 and in this
election 1920. The Social Demo.
Gratis elected four assemblymen and
one senator to the legislature.

PLURALITY OF 10000
HAS A BIG LEAD OVER
DUNN FOR GOVERNOR OF
MINNESOTA.

st. Paul, Nov. 14.-with complete
returns in from more than sixty coun-
ties outside of Ramsey and Hennepin
John A. Johnson maintains good lead
over Dunn and his plurality will be
slightly above 10000. The official can
vass of the state vote will not be made
until Dec. 20, but it is not expected
that this canvass will change the fig
ures to any great extent.
1t is Just as apt to increase Mr..
Johnson's lead as it is to reduce it.
Roosevelt carried the state by nearly
125,OO0 and the Republicans elected
all of the nine congressman, Buckman
in the Sixth securing the smallest plu-
rality, about 5000. The legislature is
overwhelmingly Republican.

FOR POSSESSION OF MvKDEN.
Bio Battle Will Probably Be Fought
Within a Few DAYS.

st. Petersburg, Nov. 15.-The latest
indications from the front point to an
early resumption of military opera
tions on a large scale. Field Marshal
Oyama has received heavy reinforce
ments from Newchwang and evidently
is about ready to wage battle for the
possession of Mukden.
The Japanese are showing particu-
lar activity on their right flank, as if
they were contemplating turning
movement from that direction.
General Kuropatkin has fortified
his positions along the Shakhe river
and as he seemingly is prepared to
accept a battle he doubtless has made
dispositions to block fianking opera
ton. According to the opinion of
the military authorities here his left
flank is secure.

Philadelphia, Nov. 1O-Complete re-

Pennsylvania and estimates of the to-
tai in the remaining twelve counties
show that Roosevelt had 824,907 votes,
Parker 339,495, a plurality for Roose-
velt of 485,412. The official count will
undoubtedly increase Roosevelt's plu-
rality to 100000 and possibly more.

A severe cold or attack of la grippe is
like fire. the sooner you combat it the
better your chances are to overpower it.
But few mothers IN this age are willing
to do the necessary work required to
give good old-fashioncd reliable treat
ment such as would be administered by
their grandmothers, backed by Bos-
chees German Syrup: which was al
ways literally used in connection with
the home treatment of colds and is
still in greater household favor than any
known remedy. But even without the
application of the old-fashioned aids
German Syrup will cure severe cold
in quick time. 1t will cure colds in
children or grown people. 1t relieves

New York, Nov. 14.-The latest re-
turns on the election give President
Roosevelt popular plurality of about
100000 votes. In the electoral col
lege he will have 335 votes to 1873 for
Parker, with Maryland in doubt. Lat
est returns from that state indicate
that Parker will receive seven cleo
tora! votes and Roosevelt one. Re-
publican leaders, however, threaten to
carry the contest into the courts.
President Roosevelt broke into the
solid South by carrying Missouri by
good sized plurality. Folk, DEM, for

Situation South Of Mlkden Shows
Little Change, Occasional Artillery
Firing Along the Line Breaks the
Monotony.

st. Petersburg, Nov. 14.-The condi.
tion Of affairs at Port Arthur causes
the deepest gloom to pervade the Off.
cial circles of the capital. 1t has been
fondly believed here that the fortress
was impregnable, and as Stoessel sue
ceeded in holding out from month to
month this belief has increased.
The methods adopted by the enemy
Of digging trenches to approach the
fort has caused not little disappoint-
ment here, as it makes any mining
plans that Stoessel had laid abortive.
It is almost a waste Of good powder
to explode mines under handful Of
soldiers engaged in tunneling, and in
sense works for the benefit of the
enemy, for though they suffer the loss
of possibly a score of men the re-
sultilg explosion accomplishes for
them an amount of tunneling that
would otherwise consume weeks.
The city is fairly we'll prepared to
hear of the fall of the fortress, and It
will not come as any surprise. 1t will
only bring more sharply to the fore
the question, What is to become of
the Baltic fieet?"
1t is certain that If this ill-starred
armada does not blow itself up, 1t will
reach the vicinity Of Port Arthur
about the 1st of February, and with
the fortress in the hands Of the Jap
anese there will be no port for it but
Vladivostok, and at that time it will
be ice locked.
