UTAH REFLECTS HOWELL.
Republican Returned to Congress
With Decreased Plurality.

SALT LAKE CITY. Utah. November 9.
Utah yesterday reelected Joseph s.
Howell. republican. to Congress and re-
jected statewide prohibition as demanded
by the democratic platform.
The American (anti-Mormon) party car
ried Salt Lake City for its congressional
candidate, but lost the county by a
plurality of from 1000 to 5000.
State returns are incomplete, but II
seems probable that Howell will have a
total plurality of more than 10000 agains,

BOISE, Idaho. November 9.-The entire
republican state ticket and French, re-
publican for Congress. have been elected
with the possible exception Of Gov.
Brady.
The democratic committee claims Haw-
ley's election for governor by 1000 and
the republicans claim Brady's by 1,5O
There Is no doubt Of a heavy slump in
the Brady vote. The returns indicate
he has been specially marked by the
managers of the wet" campaign with
the republican candidates for the senate,
which will likely be democratic and
thereby insure the defeat Of the prohibi-
ton amendment.
Early today 100 precincts out of 576
in the state gave Brady, IA, 719; Hawley,
II 800. These same precincts gave on
representatives: French (rep.), 1856;

ROCKVILLE. Md, November 9.-In
what was. probably the heaviest of
year" vote ever cast in Montgomery
county. David j. Lewis, democratic cam
dfdate for Congress, carried the county
by a majority of 643 over his republican
opponent. Brainard H. Warner, jr. The
total vote was 5,6S7. Of which Lewis re-
ceived 3,165 and Warner 1852. Lewis
received 10 fewer votes than he did two
years ago, when he carried the county
by majority of S73 over Representative
Pearre, while Warmers vote was I'll
greater than that given Col. Pearre two
years ago.
Because of the simplicity Of the ballot,
which contained only the names Of the
four candidates for Congress. there were
in large measure for the large republican
vote received. as complicated ballot in
variably costs the republicans several hun
dred votes because Of improper marking.
Not Much of Surprise.
The result in the county was not much
of surprise to those who had kept in
touch with the situation. Realizing that
they had a chance to elect their cAndi-
date, the democrats devoted their efforts
during the campaign principally to per-
suading the members of their party to go
to the polls. Their efforts were successful,
and full vote always means a big dem
ocratic majority in Montgomery county
when the party is united, as 1t was this
year.
While there was a good deal Of talk
prior to the election about republican
disafectiOn in the county, the result
shows that the party was in much better
shape than reports indicated, although
there is not much doubt that q goodly
number of republicans scattered through
out the county voted against their party's
candidate. Excepting in Wheaton dis
trict, where Mr.. Warner lives, 1t Is be-
lieved the democrats voted solidly for
Mr.. Lewis.
Warner carried both precincts of Olney
district, the first by a majority Of 6 and
the second by IS; Damascus district by

TUBERCULOSIS IN THE PRISON.
Per Cent. of Suffering Is Enormous
and There Seems but One
Remedy.

From several Investigations that
have been made by the National AS
ISOLATION for the Study and Proven
ton Of tuberculosis 1t is estimated
that on an average about Is per
cent. Of the prison population of the
country is afflicted with tuberculosis.
On this basis, out of the $4,000 prison
ers housed in the penal institutions
Of the United States at any given
time, no less than 10000 are infected
with the disease. If the Philippine
islands and other insular possessions
were taken into consideration the
number would be much larger. Some
of the prisons Of Pennsylvania, Kan
sas and Ohio show such shocking con-
ditions with reference to tuberculosis
that many wardens admit that these
places of detention are death traps.
Similar conditions could be found in
almost every state, and in the major
ity Of cases the only sure remedy Is
the destruction Of the old buildings
and the erection of new ones.
