We sing. we dance. sweet verses make,
Our cards at random play,
And While one trump remains at top
Our games a holiday.
When diamonds chance to crown the TOP
The players stake their gold
And heavy sums are bet and won
By gamblers young and old.
Inteat on winning. each his game
Doth watch with eager eye.
How he may see his neighbours cards,
And beat them on the sly.
When clubs are trumps. look out for war,
Is On ocean and on land.
For bloody horrors always come
When clubs are held in hand
Then lives are staked. instead of gold,
= The dogs of war are freed
In our dear country. and we see
That clubs have got the lead.
Last game of all. is when the spade
Is turned by hand of Time.
He always deals the closing game
III every age and CLINE.
No matter how much each man wins,
Or how much each man saves,
The spade will finish up the game
And dig the gamblers grave.

THE GAME or LIFE

sThis life is but a game of cards,
Which mortals have to learn
Each shuff1es. cuts and deals the pack,
And each trump doth turn.
Some bring a high card to the top,
And others bring low.
Some hold hand quite flush OF trumps,
While others none can show.
Some shuttle with a practiced hand,
y. And pack the cards with care,
So they know they are dealt
Where all the leaders are.
Thus fools are made the dupes of rogues
While rogueS each other cheat.
And he is very wise indeed
Who never meets defeat.
When playing. some throw out the ace,
The counting cards to save,
Some play the deuce and some the ten,
But many play the knaye.
Some play for money-sone play for fun
And some for worldly fame.
But not until the games played. out
Can they count upon their gain.
When hearts are trumps we play for love.
And pleasure rules the hour,
No thoughts CT sorrow check our Joy
In beauty's rosy bower.

r EMA r X KABLE FALLING OFF
SHOWN IN THE REPUBLICAN
VOTE ON GOVERNOR
FIGURES ON COUNTY
Partial Returns Show a Heavy Loss
For cummins in WapelIo as Com
pared With 1sos-Loss Of Nearly
Forty Votes to Each Precinct.

From Wednesdays Daily.
The vote on governor in Wapello
county, so far as the count has been
completed, shows a remarkable falling
off from the republican column and an
equally remarkable gain for the demo-
cratic candidate. The change since
1903, when Governor Cummins de-
feated jeremiah B. Sullivan by about
10000. is very great one, and Wapello
county, judging from the returns re-
ceived this morning and last nightfrom
other parts Of the state, is but one Of
many where the voting has been sim
ilar
The following figures on Wapello
county, showing the vote for Cummins
in 1906 and 1908, and the vote for Por-
ter in 1906 and for Sullivan i'll 1908,
show the extent to which the repub-
lican slump has gone. These figures
show returns from all the precincts
in Wapello county up to the time this
paper goes to press and show an aver
age decrease. of nearly forty votes to
the precinct for Governor Cummins.

most every one of the counties that
make up the. district. This year he
has sustained heavy losses in every
county. His own county, Mahaska, is
in doubt, Wapello will probably give
Hamilton a safe majority, Davis may
go 900 strong against Lacey, and in
Monroe he loses possibly 1000, judg-

counties give big democratic gains
and all have apparently taken part in
the general democratic landslide that
has struck Iowa.

Des Moines, Nov. Up to 3
o'clock this monring returns
have been received from only 800 out
of the O., 1919 precincts in the state:
These give Cummins 38,968, Porter
32,901. The same precincts in 1903
gave Cummins 42,707, Sullivan 32.901.
This shows a loss of 3,739 for Cum
Minis and gain of 1872 for Porter.
Based on these figures the democratic
state central committee says they see
no reason to change their claim that
Porter is elected by substantial ma
jority.
Democrats Will Not Give Up.
Chairman Woods of the republican
committee says he hopes that later
returns will show the election of Cum
minis. The democrats on the other
hand say that little has been heard
from the counties on the southern
part of the state and that returns from
that section will materially increase
Porter's majority.
In its 2:30 a. m. edition the Register
and Leader declares that the result
is in doubt and admits that the ratio
shown by the present returns, it CON
tinued, will wips out the Cummins
plurality in the sixth district.
Fate of congressman.
The Register and Leader claims the
defeat of Lacey in the sixth district
hut says Kennedy has possibly been
elected in the first. Dawson seems to
be safe by about 1,500 in the second.
Returns on congressman in the
eleventh are meagre, but Hubbard
has lost heavily, through probably not
enough to overcome his former major
ity. Returns from some Of the larger
counties will not be received until
much later owing to the great amount
Of scratching.

can ticket. His latest estimate is that
Cummins will have more than $4,000
plurality. At the democratic head
quarters the claim is made reports
show Porter will have plurality OF
less than 1000. The first district is
still in doubt.

Washington, Nov. T. President
Roosevelt today sent a message OF
hearty congratulations to Governor-E-
lect Hughes, Of New York.
New York, Nov. AT 1880 this
morning the returns were complete in
greater New York for the governship.
They showed Hearst's plurality as
1886. Greater New York with nine
districts missing give Chanler, demo
crat and Independent league, plural
ity Of .134,940 over Bruce, republican,
for lieutenant governor Almost the
complete returns show, aside from the
governor, a democratic state ticket IN
the greater city by plurality of from
$4,000 to 145,0OO. This would indi-
cate that unless the republican candi-
dates for Offices below the governor
ran ahead of Hughes above the Bronx,
a full democratic state ticket except
the governor may have been elected.
Returns from up state counties are too
incomplete to warrant anything like
an accurate forecast.
New York. Nov. Tn 1900 districts
out of 3,013 in the state outside the
city, Hughes has 356.319; Hearst, $780,

large majority.
Five hundred districts out of 507 in
Brooklyn give Hearst 107,502; Hughes

BIENNIAL ELECTIONS AND RE-
MovAL OF CIRCLE MAKE
RETURNS SLOW
MANY SCRATCH VOTES
Change in the Form Of the Ballot and
the Addition of Many Names Causes
Great Delay in the Work of Counting
the Vote.

From Wednesdays Daily.
All over Iowa today the people are
wondering about the result of yester-
days election. Though much is known
of it in general way nothing really
and absolutely definite will be known
until tomorrow. The reasons can be
stated thus:
1. A general tendency on the part
Of democrats and republicans alike to
scratch their tickets.
O. The removal of the circle from
the official ballot by the last general
assembly, which has acted as prompt
er to the voter to scratch his ticket
instead of voting it straight.
8. The enactment of the biennial
election law by the legislature and its
endorsement by the people with their
votes which had resulted in much
larger ballot than was the custom be-
fore the law was in force, and the con-
sequent delay in counting the votes.
These are the three main reasons
why the people of Iowa do not today
know the exact result of the election
in which they participated yesterday
In Ottun,wa, for instance, judges and
clerks of election are this morning
poring over election books and badly
scratched ballots, counting as fast as
they can, but with the realization that
| the task is too great to expect of men
-, y, hot h
to limit the period of uncertainty be-
tween the moment Of vote casting and
the time when the results are made
public.
The Courier. previous to the cleo
tion of yesterday, had made arrange
ments probably more extensive than
ever before for gathering the returns
as quickly and as accurately as pos
sible.. To indicate how extensive
these arrangements were 1t may be
stated that, whereas in many of the
surrounding counties daily newspaper
| Offices we're closed and the employees
sent home to wait until morning be.
fore beginning to collect the returns,
the Courier office was open all night
in order to collect every scrap of news
available up to the time this paper
goes to press, 9 a. m. The returns re
ceiyed in Ottumwa may be meagre in
comparison with those collected in
| years gone by, but they are volumin-
GUS when compared with the returns
collected in surrounding county seats
The people of Iowa, by removing
the circle from their ballot and by en-
acting the biennial election law, have
made it impossible to collect accurate
returns of their elections sooner than
/ twenty-four hours after the closing of
| the polls, and then, only under the
most favorable circumstances.
