above in tabulated form, are worthy Of
careful study, for the result is pretty
badly mixed. Two years ago Roosevelt
county and at Tuesdays election Porter
Cnmmins. At the same election con-
gressman Hepburn had plurality of
663, while this year his plurality is only
223.
e. ]. Sankey, the democratic candi-
date for representative was defeated
by the small plurality Of % votes. On
account of being crippled Mr.. Sankey
was unable to make a personal canvass
Of the county, while his opponent has
made an active house to house
campaign. Mr.. Sankey made an en-
viable record, and his defeat is to be
regretted, as his services in the legisla-
ture will be sadly missed.
Eli Hutchinson was defeated for re-
election as county superintendent, his
defeat being the result of his standing
by Leon when the court house petition
and remonstrance was before the people
last spring. At Decatur City, there
was large bulletin displayed on which
attention was called to the fact that
Mr.. Hutchinson had circulated a re-
monstrance, and this cost him many
votes. He made great run, however,
and his defeat is deeply deplored by
his many friends.
Jim Cozad, the democratic candidate
for clerk gave Clerk A. S. Tharp the run
of his life, Cozad being defeated by the
narrow margin of IA votes. He made
great race, only to miss the goal by
such small majority.
| Tom Wallace, one of the most popular
officials who ever served the people of
Decatur county, was reelected by a
handsome majority of 1927 votes. He
ran ahead of his ticket all over the
county, Leon giving him 144 majority
W. "A. Poush, the republican candi-
date for recorder was reelected by
the largest majority of any man
on the county ticket, 83S. Mr.. Poush
has made popular official, and his
opponent, Harry Arnold, has been con-
fined to his bed by illness almost all
the time since he was nominated, and
could make no canvass for the Office.
George w. Baker, the best county at
torney Decatur county ever had, defeat
ed county attorney W. B. Kelley by a
majority of 155. Mr.. Baker made a
steady gain over his opponent all over
the county, and has good reasons to be
proud of his victory.
Geo. W. Sanger, the democratic
candidate for treasurer, was defeated
by Ed. Monroe by 329. He made a
good race, but Monroe received the
solid support of both the Cummins
republicans and stand-patters, and this
accounts for his election.
H. G. Scott was reelected auditor by
$40 majority. E. Housh, the democratic
candidate seems to have slaughtered all
over the county, Scott making gains in
nearly all precincts.
/ Two of the members of the present
board of supervisors were defeated for
reelection, W. L. Edmondson and John
Hacker, the former democrat and the
latter a republican. Their defeat can

ANNAPOLIS, Nov. 26.-The fact
that the Nava1 acacemy has
show form this year which indicates
that, Notwithstanding the admitted
strength of the Army team, its cnanc-
es are at least wen to win against the
Military academy eleven on Franklin
field is a source Of satisfaction to low
ers Of sport generally, as it is generally
wished hat the teams should be close
ly matched and afford a real contest
each year.
The navy managed to tie the army
last season, though outplayed, but for
the four seasons previously the army
had won, sometimes by decisive scores
There is no doubt that a victory this
year for the navy team would be very
popular.
the games which have proved the
worth of the navy team more than any
others this season have been the con-
tests with Princeton and Swarthmore.
Princeton lost to the navy two years
ago and last year there was no game,
SO the Tigers came t Annapolis with
a strong lineup and determined to rub
it into the midshipmen if possible. Five
to nothing was the best score they
could make. On Saturday last the
navy inflicted the only defeat re-
ceived by S~Warthmore this season, the
score being 5 to 4. The one defeat
sustained by the navy this season be-
sides that from Princeton was at the
hands Of the strong Pennsylvania
State college team, the score being
also 5 to 0.
Apparently the navy played an ir
regular game, as it only secured draws
from Dickinson and Bucknell and made
but eleven points against Lenigh.
However, those who are acquainted
with methods at Annapolis know that
everything is sacrificed to the army
game and no chances are taken with

Meet Runaway.
OREGON CITY, Ore, Nov. 26.-The
teams that left this city on November
Z with powder and other supplies for
the Ogle Mountain mines have had a
most difficult journey and have not
yet reached their destination. Martin
Oatman, who drove Dee Wright's team
last night telephoned from Terry's to
Mr.. Wright in this city, informing him
that the teams had encountered about
10 inches Of snow, besides being de-
layed seriously on account of obstruc-
tons in the road, the recent storm
having felled numerous trees across
the mountain roads. At one time the
teams found themselves shut off both
in front and behind by these obstruc-
lions. The breaking down of one of
the wagons contributed further to the
delay. Mr.. Oatman said the most Diff
fcult part of the journey had been
made, and it was expected the mines
would be reached within a few hours
more.

BLOODHOUND TRAVELLER COM
PLAINS BITTERLY OF SHABBY
TREATMENT,

Forced oy the pangs of hunger anG
the fact that their funds were run
ming low, more than fifty passengers
on the Great Northern train held up al
Leavenworth, raided the dining car or
the train, in a body, and demanded
food. The raid occurred on the even.
ing of last Thursday, forty-eight hours
after the arrival of the train at Leav.
enworth The demands Of the infu-
rated passengers had been refused w
that time by representatives of the
Great Northern. The following morn
ing an order was posted, permitting
the bloodhound passengers to get two
meals a day at a L~eavenworth hote
at the expense Of the company.
Passengers who returned last night
on the first Great Northern train tc
reach the city in a week, declare that
they were treated in the most shabby
name by the officials of the COM
pany and hat the sufferings of the
m and children, imprisoned in
the day coaches was terrible. "Out-
rage" is the term used by the passen-
gers in describing the treatment &C
corded them by the passenger depart
ment Of the Great Northern. The men
who led the raid on the dining car
assert that the company piled the pas
sengers from n train into the
coaches of another, forcing the women
and children to sleep in the over
crowded cars with the men and under
such circumstances as to make life
almost unbearable.
The coaches were dirty, the towels
in the toilet unchanged for days and
too filthy for use. The sanitary feat
ures were bad and the food provided
almost as tough as could be we'll mag
ined.
A. E. Mills, a local travelling man;
H. G. Renton, of Bryn Mawr, Pa, and
]. c. Carmen of East Liverpool, O.,
passengers or day coach 345, asserted
that it was only after the passengers
had made a demonstration in force
in the dining car on Thursday night
that the officials of the company made
provision for their subsistence.
We first petitioned the company for
food" said Mills. "The petition was
cast aside, and no attention was paid

on board but he would do nothing for
us.

would be provided for. The next norm
ing we were told to go to a hotel
at Leavenworth and apply for two
meals a day. We had breakfast at 9
o'clock and dinner at 3 in the after
noon during the remainder of our i'm
prisonment. Those who wanted three
meals a day had to pay cash out Of
their pockets and if they had no money
they went hungry"

Offense IL Strong.

Offense 10 Strong.
The navy has its usual fast and well |
trained team, but it is somewhat
heavier this season, m there are more
really star players than for many
years. The navy's defence was always
of the stiffest kind, but this season
the offense is perhaps the stronger ele-
ment of their play.
The backfield is opposed of Capt.
Spencer and Douglas, halves; Norton,
quarter back, and Ingram, fullback.
Every n of these is much above the
average, and Douglas is a star Of the
first magnitude. Douglas weighs It's
pounds and is tall and very muscular,
having just established the highest all
round strength mark made by a mid
shipman. He made a reputation on
the team of the University of Tenne-
ssee, but has been kept u of the
game during most of his courst by the
breaking of his leg, occurring in the
Princeton game two years ago. He is
a fast man, a splendid ground gamer
and even more brilliant on the de-
tense.
Capt. Spencer, his running mate, is
about the same weight, but not quite
sc tall. He has played on the aca-
denny team ever since his fourth
class year and is a brilliant end run
ner and is thoroughly dependable. Nor
ton is a heady player and good drop
kicker. Ingram, at full, has played
right half during most Of the season.
He is captain and stroke of the crew,
and besides being very strong is very
cool and lear headed. There arc
plenty Of good substitutes for the
backield, such as Burg, Battle, ewing,
Bernard, LANCE and Reinicke, or North.
croft or Richardson could be taken
from the line, both beoing slashing
backs.
The line is beginning to assume
shape only n position being in much
doubt. The present lineup is: Rich
ardson. left end; Northcroft, left tackle
Piersol, left guard; Slingluff, center;
Wright, right guard; Magruder, right
tackle; Dague, right end. Simpson is
making a hard fight for right tackle,
and it is possible hat he may GUST
Magruder, though both will likely get
in at least part Of the game against
the army.
With the present arrangement the
nacvy team averages 172 ell pounds
in weight. The average of the back
field is 1891 pounds, and Of the line
ITS II pounds.

Department Shake-up

A violent shake-up in the Agricultural
Department is expected as a result OF
the packing house exposure. The fact
that the terrible conditions Of filth and
disease have been allowed to continue
and grow for years right under the
noses Of the Government inspectors is.
IN the Presidents eyes. pretty good
proof that the officials Of the Bureau
Of Animal Industry stationed at Chi
cago, are either wofully Incompetent or
negligent In either event the President
believes they are no longer fc men for
When the President first heard OF the,
charges against the packers he request
ed the department TO investigate and
the men detailed to this work returned
a most roseate report Of the conditions

clean, sanitary, and ideal, and there was
no cause for either criticism or alarm.
