Result Close on Head of Ticket.
Des Moines, Nov 9.-The result in
Iowa yesterday is in doubt, STILL The
returns received during the night of
election We're favorable to Claude R.
Porter and the democrats claimed his
election as governor over B. F. Car
roll by large majority.
AS the returns continued to come
in, however his lead diminished and
it became apparent that the chances
of his election might be totally ex-
tinguished when the final returns
were at hand.
The democrats early claimed the
victory and Mr.. Porter was telephon-
ed that he was a winner. Some of
the republicans conceded that on the
face of the returns Governor Carroll
was defeated. The governor, himself
went home at $3.50 O'Clock. His rep
resentatives, however, never gave up
the claim that he would be found to
have won when the final returns
came in.
1t was apparent that the remainder
of the republican state ticket would
be- elected unless unexpected slumps
showed up in the unexpected places.
The expected slaughter of Thorne
land Cosson was apparent in some
sections of the state, but did not pos
sess the size that it was thought the
cut would attain.
The slow voting of the day was fol.
lowed by delay in reporting the re-
suit. The dispatches disclosed the
fact that only now and then was a
straight ballot cast.
Pepper Wins in Second.
1t was apparent early that the Sec.
ond district was lost to the republi-
cans, unless better showing was
made in other counties than was
made in Scott, and the democrats re-
inewed confidently their claim that l.
is. Pepper was elected over Charles
Grilk.
| In the Sixth district the returns
were so meager that definite pre-
diction could not be made early, but
lit was believed that Kendall would
| be elected,
s. F. Prouty was elected in the
Seventh by about $500 plurality over

possibly Madison.

| Towner in the Eighth and Kennedy

In the city of Des Moines Porte,
won by about 600 plurality, but il
was believed that this would be wipe,
out in the country. The city CAV
Prouty small plurality
] In Polk county in forty-one pre-
cincts Carroll got f,125 and Porte
4,SO5. There is no comparison pos
sible, for the precincts have beel
divided. Two years ago, however
Carroll carried Polk county by 8

In Polk county Palmer for railroa
commissioner got 4,524, Thorne a

precincts.

Result in Doubt.


Des Moines, Nov. 9.-2eturns from
2S5 precincts in Iowa, including the
city of Des Moines, give Carroll 2l,-
9O4, and Porter 22,945.
The same precincts in 1908 gave
Carroll S2,564 and White 23,9S7.
This is a republican loss of about
Al to the precinct. Ii the ratio con-
tinues throughout the remainder OF
the returns, Porter would be elected
by about $4,000.
However, if the proportion of the
vote cast by each party continues at
the ratio OF the 235 precincts. the
lead for Porter will be almost, if not
wholly wiped out.
Although the friends of Governor
Carroll claimed that he would be
elected en- the final returns, the poli-
ticians were inclined to concede that
Porter would be found to be elected

GIRLS INCREASING HEIGHT.
Comparison Of Dress Measurements
To-day and Fifty Years Ago.

A search of the garnet for old fasn-
Toned clothes ito dress us in does
not yield so much as it once did,. BE-
hold, when great-grandmothers
gowns come to light they are all TOO
small for the young generation IL
Is not a mere matter of stays anu
busks, for if it were, a frightened
corset lacing might be endured Tor
a single evening. But the girl OF TO-
day is hopelessly taller than her fore
bear, and there is no remedy for the
skirt, waist and sleeves too short
The increase in the height of Amer
ican women has doubtless gone on
steadily for fifty years, but measure
ments have altered markedly IN n
last ten years. A skirt of f~orty-one
inches vas considered long in 1879.
Now skirts of forty-four and forty
five inches are made by wholesale.
Grandmother stood barely five feet In
her shoes, but her daughter measures
five feet four inches, and her athletic
granddaughter measures from nVe
feet seven to five feet eleven in her
stockings.
The increase in height is not an I'M
mixed good. To begin with, long
clothes cost more than short ones.
Six inches added to length OF sklrt
and bodice make an actual increase
in the cost of material. Moreover,
tall girls, especially if they are slen-
der, are not so easily fitted in the
cheaper ready made garments. Inc
large sizes all seem calculated Tor
stout women.
Strangely enough, the average
stature of the men of the coming gen.
Grafton has not increased so fast as
that of the women, and there are
many men not so tall as the girls OF
their own age. Such a man fears to
dance or walk or even to talk with
