THE RESULT.

Ramsey county has just gone thru
one of the hardest political battles in
its history. The results shows a big
republican strength. 1t also shows
great independence in voting, several
Of the contests being of the close Or
der. The gOvernorship fight went
about as expected, Governor Burke
getting a large vote from his home
county. although Johnson developed
great strength during the closing
days of the campaign. At the time of
going to press reports from the state
indicate that Burke has won a third
victory by very narrow margin.
Johnson made many friends during
bis campaign in this county and was
Q standard bearer of whom republi-
cans may well be proud. In spite of
misrepresentation he came through
the second campaign better thought
OF, more loyalty supported, and fought
tor, than two years ago. His defeat
leaves no discredit upon him. Had his
candidacy represented more fully the
strength of the party and the cry of
McKenzieism not been raised to break
the ranks of the republicans there is
NO doubt but what he would have
swept the state. Johnson's cause was
injured more by his friends than his
enemies. He is too strong man, too
much a man Of the people, to longer
allow himself to be classed with the
Feactionary wing of the party. The
progressives need Johnson and John
son needs the progressives. In the
future the republican party must look
TO progressive republicanism if it
would maintain its supremacy.
Locally the entire republican ticket
was elected. The campaign of the
Raw and Order League for the election
Of Attorney Wehe was unsuccessful by
a very narrow margin. OF the inf1u-
sRres brought to bear to defeat Mr..
Wehe we will have nothing to say.
Suffice it to say that we will loyalty
support Attorney Duell in any effort
he may make for law and order. We
believed that the interests of the coun.
ty demanded the election of another
man. The majority thought different.
II Attorney Duell will show vigor, en-.
ergy, and some fighting ability in the
office of states attorney he will find
the Inter-Ocean backing him at every
turn of the road. All we desire is Law
and Order We care not who brings
It about

CONTROL or HOUSE
IS VERY DECISIVE
Democrats Have FWeniy-elght
Over Majority.

Chicago, Nov. 10.-The securing Of
control of the next national house of
representatives by the Democrats was
decisive. The Democrats elected 226,
Republicans 1854, Socialists /; total,
391; gain by Democrats, 81; gain by
Republicans, S; net gain for the Dem
ocrats, 81.
In order to secure control of the
house it was necessary for the Dem
ocrats to secure twenty-four new
members. With net increase of
fifty-two they appear to have gained
twenty-eight members in excess of
the number necessary to control. At
the same time the Republican strength
has been reduced by the election of a
Socialist in Wisconsin district nor
mally Republican.
The greatest gain in any one state
was in New York, where the present
delegation of twelve Democrats was
increased by ten, making the division
as to New York In the next house
twenty-five Democrats, fifteen Repub-
Leans. The representation from New
York in the Sixty-frst congress is
twenty-five Republicans, twelve Dem.
ocrats.
The next largest increase was in
Illinois, where the Democrats, on the
face of the returns, made six gains
In Pennsylvania the Democratic
gains were six.
The Republican gains were one each
in Iowa, Massachusetts, Missouri

New York, Nov 10.-More complete
returns from the elections serve to EN-.
phasize rather than diminish the Dem
ocratic landslide. There is hardly a
section of the entire nation where the
Republican vote did not slump notably
and, in many cases, disastrously.
The house of representatives of the
sixty-second congress will be Demo
cratic by fine working majority,
while in the United States senate the
Republicans will have only scant
lead over their opponents.
Four influential Eastern states, New
York, Massachusetts, Connecticut and
New Jersey, take their places at the
head of the procession with Demo-
cratic governors and strong Demo
cratic representation in their legisla-
lures. Ohio, too, is Democratic.
The two great leaders of the Repub.
hcan party, Taft and Roosevelt, alike
met defeat in their own states. Roose-
velt's home town of Oyster Bay went
against him; his congressional dis
trict chose Democratic representa-
tive to replace Congressman w. w.
Cocks, Roosevelt's warm personal
friend; his state repudiated the Re-
publican candidate for governor by
over 10000 plurality. AS an additional
blow the New York state Legislature
is Democratic and will elect a Demo
cratic senator to succeed Chauncey
M. Depew.
In the Northwest Iowa and North
Dakota elected Democratic governors.
but all other states remained in the
Republican ranks.
Senator Dick to Retire.
In Ohio Democratic legislature
has been elected, insuring a Demo-
cratic successor to Senator Dick, Re.
publican, and the plurality of Gov
ernor Harmon is increased to 10000.
The West Virginia legislature is
Democratic and will elect a Demo-
cratic senator to succeed Senator
Scott, Republican.
In Indiana the legislature, which
chooses successor to Senator Bev-
eridge, is in doubt, with the Demo-
Gratis claiming majority Of twelve
and the Republicans maintaining that
Beverage will have small margin.
Iowa is still uncertain, with both
sides claiming the governorship.
The Pennsylvania legislature is
safely Republican and will e1act Ra
publican successor to Senator Oliver.
Washington has a Republican legis-
lature and the election of Miles Poin-
dexter to the senate is assured. The
Utah legislature, which elects a Unit
ed States senator, also is Republican.
Indications point to the election of
the Republican candidate for gov.
ernor of California, Hiram w. John
son, by heavy plurality.

Ohio Election.

democrats MAKE sweeping Gains in
Ohio ELECTION.
Cleveland, Nov. 10.-The Demo
Gratis swept Ohio and in addition to
electing Judson Harmon for second
term as governor have undoubtedly
elected the remainder of their state
ticket and majority of the legisla-
ture. In consequence Senator Charles
Dick, Republican, will be succeeded
in 1911 by a Democrat.
Harmon's plurality is still IN doubt,
but sufficient returns are in to show
that 1t is the largest ever given by
Ohio to Democrat The latest esti.

Wonderful
Ways Of Ants

A remarkable instrument called the
bIoscope makes it possible for the
student of science to watch very small
insects at u considerable. distance ana
learn of their ways without disturbing
them. The watcher looks through the
bioscope. 1t is also possible by means
of the bioscope even to take photo
graphs of tiny insects engaged In all
the operations Of their daily life. A
gentleman named DIR. de Gaspary mas
thus used the bioscope for making stud

THE WREN'S
STRATACEM.

"Once upon time all the birds met
in council to select king" began
Aunt Isabelle, who was telling story
to half a dozen little folks gathered
round her under the orchard tree.
This story has come down to US,
and there must have been something
to start It The birds all met one day
to decide which one Of their number
should be honored as king of the bird
world. All Of them were present-the
red breasted robin, the wise old owl,
the cunning crow. the graceful swan.
the modest sparrow. the great eagle,
the chattering magpie. the light heart
ed lark, the cooling dove. the eruel
hawk-al these and hundred others
Long and earnestly they discussed
how the choice should be made
1.-THE bird of paradise and the cccSa'
too thought that the bird with the
most brilliant plumage should be king
But the thrush. the phoebe and the
raven would not agree to this. The
canary and the bobClink argued that
the choice should fall upon the bird
with the sweetest song. hui the coot.
the vulture. the swallow and the SHOW
bird at once raised objections to this
plan.
AT last 1t was agreed that the great
honor should go to the bird which
should mount the highest In the air
The sun itself was to be the goal. ana
the bird which flew the nearest to II
was to be hailed forever after us the
king of the birds There were no 9th
er conditions or special rules to govern
the contest. and this freedom left open
way by which the race was finally
won, as we shall see.
when the signal was given they ali
few upward--a wonderful cloud OF
birds of all colors and sizes some
darling swiftly through the air. some

some moving more slowly. but With
the ounearance Of much strength In

"Very soon many Of them gave up
the race and dropped back exhausted
to the earth. Others kept bravcly on
till they were mere specks IN the blue
sky and had gone even higher than

zone Of the last Of the small birds
to become tired was the little wren
But instead Of giving up 1t few upon
the back Of the great eagle. and there
1t got nicely rested. while the eagle
scared on and on and left at last all
the other birds far behind"
"Was 1t fair for the little wren to do

There was nothing In the rules OF

isabelle, "and so the wren thought 1t
had right to make up by stratagem

here very comfortably on the eagles
