eressmen in Doubt.

Des Moines, Nov. 9.-Both Demo
Gratis and Republicans are claiming
the governorship. If Gov. Carroll il
reelected it will be by the narrowes'
of margins. Claude K. Porter, Demo
cratic gubernatorial candidate, claim
ed that he would carry the state BY
10000, but more conservative est
mates, based ON returns from ] 90;
precincts out of $780,, place his plur
ality at 1900 or 1000.
Gov. Carroll declared that the early
returns were all from the cities anC
that estimates based upon them were
bound to be erroneous. Carl FRANKIE.
Republican state chairman, declared
that the country districts, despite a
light vote. would more than make up
Republican losses in the cities.

tricts. |. s. Pepper, the Democratic
candidate in the Second district, car

Dix did not receive anything like
the vote that the Democrats expected

to reach anything like this figure is at
tributed to the activities of the Indo

was little or no Independence League
campaign outside Of New York city.
The tremendous falling off in tn,

British electioneering tactics have changed. Electors are no longer kid naped and forced to lose the poll. The minor details of the campaign, how ever, remain the same. MT.

But when the final survey was made his supporters found that every thing depended on half dozen voters And here stepped In the diplomat.
