turns from several states, among them
New Jersey.
Returns there showed there would
probably be a gain of six Democrats
in the representation of that state
Other returns from New York and
Pennsylvania indicated the success of

COMPLEXION is UNCHANGED
That of Minnesota's Congressional
Delegation Remains the Same.

st. Paul, Nov. 9-Incomplete re.
turns seem 20 give assurances that Re-
publican congressman were elected in
every district in Minnesota except the
Second, where w. S. Hammond, Dem
ocrat, defeats Ellsworth.
In the First district partial returns
from seven out of ten counties give
S. A. Anderson of Lanesboro 1911 to
5,176 for ii. L. Buck of Winona.
Partial returns from seven counties
out OF eleven in the Second district
show 4,440 votes for w. S. Hammond
of st. James to 3.343 for Ellsworth.
In the Third district Congressman
c. S. Davis, Republican, had no oppo-
sition.
John l.. Gieske made surprising
showing against Congressman F. c..
Stevens, Republican, in the Fourth
district, Stevens being little over
200 votes in the lead.
With one precinct missing in Min
neapolis Frank M Nye, Republican
candidate for congress, had To- 23 and

PaWninq Bank Bills.

"Pawnbrokers don't think much of
ten dollar bills as pledges" said the
city salesman. Il saw a man pawn
one the other day for $3.50 When
asked why lie didn't spend his $40 in
stead of soaking it for little more
than half the amount he explained that
he wanted to keep that particular bill.
Twice before he had tried to keep a
certain bill by giving it as security to
friend who had so many bills that he
wouldn't need to spend that particular
one but both times the friend got his
money mixed and the keepsake was
lost after all. This time he depended
upon the pawnbroker to tide him over.
To pawn money struck me as very
curious proceeding. but the broker as
sured me that it is frequently done by
people who attach a sentimental value
to a particular bill or New York

IOWA ELECTS DEMO-
CRATIC GOVERNOR
Porter's Plurality Estimated at
Fifteen Thousand.

Des MOines, Nov. 9.-Based on esti.
mates from 100 precincts outside oil
Des MoineS, indications are that
Claude r. Porter, Democratic can.
didate for governor, has been elected
by a majority of probably $4,000 over
Governor B. F. Carroll, Republican
candidate for reelection.
1t is possible also that the Demo
Gratis have elected three congressman
Republican state headquarters scout
the claims of the Democrats and de-
clare that the interior counties which
have not been heard from would wipe
out Porter's seeming majority.
The returns, which are coming in
slowly. show that Carroll was cut
heavily in the river counties, and in
some of the northern counties in the
state
This heavy slump in the river cOun-
ties, it is believed, is due to the liquor
plank which was incorporated into the
Democratic platform at the last state
convention. The figures received IT,
clude many of the large cities, which
would naturally cut Carroll on ac-
count of the liquor plank. While re-
turns from scarcely any of the coun-
try precincts have been received, it
is believed by shrewd politicians. how.
ever, that Porter is elected.
Three congressional districts are
claimed by the Democrats, and there
would seem to be some warrant for
the claim in two 1t is regarded as
certain that !. S. Pepper. Democrat,
has been elected over Charles Grilk,
Republican, in the Second district by
majority of probably 1000. The
Sixth district is very close, with the
chances favoring Dan Hamilton, the
Democratic candidate, who is pitted
against Congressman n E. Kendall,
While early returns indicated that
Charles A. Kennedy, congressman in
the First district had been elected,
Democrats are claiming the distric.
for j. A. S. Pollard, their candidate.
1t would not be surprising if the
Fourth district, now represented by G.
N. Haugen, would go Democratic ami
return ID. ID. Murphy to Washington.

BURKE wins IN
NORTH DAKOTA
Reelection Of Democratic Gov
ernOr Conceded.

Fargo, N. D., Nov. 9.-The vote in
North Dakota is less than rs per cent
OF that cast two years ago. Re
turns are coming in very slowly, and
little certainty is expressed except in
regard to the election of the governor.
Both parties concede the election OF
Governor Burke, the Democrats by a
majority of 5000 and the Republicans
by from 1900 to 5000.
The election OF Hanna, Republican,
for congress, is practically assured. A
state legislature will undoubtedly be
carried by the Republicans also.
For congress the Republican candi.
dates have carried big, as have all the
other Republican state candidates, and
their election is assured.

JAMES DAHLMAN DEFEATED
Republican Elected Governor of Ne.
braska.

Omaha, Nov. 9.-With fourteen coun,
ties of the fifty-one in the state heard
from, the election of Chester H. AL.
drich, Republican, as governor of Ne.
braska is claimed by the Republican
managers by majority of not less
than $4,000. OF the fourteen counties
heard from four are of the strongest
Dahlman counties in the state.
With Aldrich majorities practically
assured in most of the counties not yet
heard from, it is deemed certain that
the Dahlman lead in Douglas will be
overcome. The election of Hitchcock
is practically conceded
Three of Nebraska's congressman
will be Democrats, two will be Repub
lican and one is in doubt.

bill and certain labor measures as the
principal issues the Democrats won
the state election and placed Con-
gresham Eugene n. Foss, former
Republican, in the chair occupied by
Governor Draper for the past two
years. Early returns showed that the
Democrats came very near carrying

however, did not materially jeopar-

based on nearly complete returns, of
from $4,000 to $4,000. New York city

Democrat. Not only did Colonel
Roosevelt lose on the state ticket and
his candidate for congress in Nassau

There were even Indications that
the Democrats might seize working
majority in the Legislature and dictate
the nomination of the next Junior
United States senator to succeed Sen
ator Chauncey NJ. Depew, but more
complete returns will be necessary to
settle this issue.
1t was hard to say whether the news
that Oyster Bay had gone Democratic
or the small vote polled by the follow
ers of Mr.. Hearst caused the most JOY
at Democratic headquarters. The
leaders acknowledged, however, that
the same causes that helped the Dem
ocratic ticket in Massachusetts, New
Jersey and Connecticut and other
states where notable gains were
shown contributed to the election OF
Mr.. Dix
Mr.. Stimson attributed his defeat to

the propositions which attracts is
the taking of matches from the home
by little boys with irtent to find, bum

pose of cracking" matches, which is
a dangerous thing yet INDUCED in by

claims the match carrying habit re-
sponsible for many of the fires in the

often hike up the alley and into some
barn to "try" and smoke and too often

Through Senor Joaquin Mendez, secre-

the exposition grounds and also wants
to know how much space Guatemala

SHORT SESSION IS
OF ACTION
Oklahoma Segregated Lands Will Not
Be Taken Up in Regular
Appropriations.

Washington, ID. c., Nov. 20. - Al
though congress has not yet convened,
the work of formulating the appropria.
tion bills is well under way. 1t would
not be surprising If four or five of the
appropriation bills are passed by the
house before the holiday recess, In
fact there is such mad race among
the chairmen of the committees to
get their bills upon the calendar that
this congress is apt to break all rec
ords in the amount of business trans
acted at a short session. The river
and harboP bill, which usually comes
in during the closing week of a ses-
sion, will be reported within two or
three days after congress convenes.
A quorum of the river and harbor com
mittee was not present today. when
the committee was scheduled to hold
its first full meeting but kilograms
were received from enough members
to give assurance that the committee
will be able to transact business to-
morrow.
A subcommittee of the appropria-
|tion committee will complete its work
on the urgency and deficiency bill this
week. AS soon as Chairman Tawney
returns from Panama, the bill will be
considered at full meeting of the
committees and win be ready for the
hopper Of the house shortly after con-
gress convenes Monday. The bill will
be forwarded shortly with the execu-
tive, legislative and judicial appro-
Ipriation bill. A subcommittee will be-
gin work Thursday on the Indian ap-
preparation bill, Chairman Burke is
Isued a call for the subcommittee to.
lday and stated that il quorum ar
Irives in Washington this week he will
take up the bill in the whole commit
tee. Chairman Burke confidently ex.
poets to have the Indian appropriation
bill passed before the holidays.
1t is not planned now to deal with
the segregated mineral question in
Oklahoma IN the regular appropria-
ton bill. This will be included in a
Especial bill or an omnibus Indian bill
later in the session, IL any legislation
of this character is enacted this win
ter.
