After his return from the war Mr..

LeGrande at the address mentioned,

reason, as he has since learned that
the soldier never survived the war,

at Mangum and the letter was for
warded to w. l. Everett at Rocking

one Of the most reliable press bur

ed that some information will be at
hand as early as Z O'Clock and the
returns will thereafter be received
until late hour.
The spectacular feature of todays
big struggle is, of course. the issue in
New York state where Former Presi-
dent Roosevelt has been endeayoring
to check the landslide resulting from
the mis-management and greed OF
the men whom the republican party
has chosen to sit in the high places
of government The press of New
York City, allied as it is with the
Wall Street interests, has been direct
ing all of it's force to his undoing
Because of their selfish money-seek'
ing motives the prediction reports
sent out by the big papers of the
metropolis are unreliable, but it is
evident nevertheless that the repub-
leans are far from hopeful that they
will carry the state. There has been
reaction within the past few days
in favor of the republican candidate
for governor, which may have started
in time to change the tide in his fav-
or.
Outside Of the election in New
York the most interesting and far
more important incident of the day
will be the election of congressman
A democratic house is predicted in
many sources. The total membership
of the house is 391. OF these 215 are
republicans and l72 are democrats
with four vacancies. The present re
publican majority is As which would
make 1t necessary for the democrats
to disp'ace twenty-four republican
members. Some of the democratic
newspapers, notable the New York
Herald, are so sanguine of success as
10 predict that the figures will be re-
yersed and that when the returns
have been received the minority will
have become the majority by a com
plete reversal of the present figures
and that the democrats will have 2fj
and the republicans 172. There are
even predictions that through the
elections of state legislatures the
United States senate is likely. also

mating, however, as was stated In the
beginning comes from sources that

,ial and personal interests.
