St. Louis The election held
throughout the country Tuesday re-
suited in a political convulsion Of far
reaching extent similar at many points
to the famous tidal wave of 1882 and
apparently more widespread in Its ef-
feet.
The indications are that the nation
al house Of representative had been
carried by the Democrats, reversing
the present Republican majority of 43.
The United States senate will prob=
ably have a reduced Republican ma
jority as q result Of legislative elec-
tions held in many states.
In New York John A. Dix, Demo
cratic candidate for governor, is elect
ed over Henry l.. Stimson, Republican,
by plurality Of about $1,000, revers-
ing the Republican plurality Of 10000
in 1908 for Governor Hughes.
In New Jersey Woodrow Wilson,
Democratic candidate for governor, Is
elected over Vivian M. Lewis, Repub-
lican, by about $4,000 plurality, re-
versing the previous Republican plu-
rality of 5000 for Governor Fort.
In Massachusetts Eugene N. Foss,
Democratic candidate, has defeated
Governor Eben S. Draper (Rep.) for
reelection by about 10000 plurality,
reversing Governor Draper's former
plurality Of 5000.
In Connecticut Judge Simeon H.
Baldwin (Dem.) is governor over
Charles A. Goodwin (Rep.) by about
1000 plurality, reversing the previous
Republican plurality Of 10000.
In Ohio Governor Judson Harmon

pears to have carried the state by

date, by about G,000 plurality.
In Pennsylvania the election of
John X. Tener, Republican candidate

In Rhode Island, Governor Pothier
Republican candidate for reelection
is slightly in the lead over Lewis A.
Waterman (Dem), with plurality

In Tennessee, the fusion candidate
Ben w. Hopper, is apparently elected

In Iowa the Democrats claim the
election of Claude r. Porter for gov
ernor, but this is not yet conceded.
In Wisconsin the election of the Re
publican candidate for governor, Fran

duced majority, and the return o
Senator La Toilette to the Unite,

DELAWARE.

Wilmington, Del.--Returns from the
state are arriving slowly. The indi-
cations are that the Republicans have
carried the state, including majority
in both houses of the legislature.
If this shall be borne out by later

OHIO

Cleveland, Ohio.-Judson Harmon
(Dem.), was reelected governor of
Ohio by a largely increased plurality,
according to returns from about $50
precincts of the 4,526 in the state.
Even the approximate figures are still
in doubt, owing to considerable
switch in various districts of the
state. Two years ago he was elected
by 1872.
In Is Cleveland precincts Harmon
shows gain of IA votes to precinct,

will save him. Porter may be the
first Democratic governor in Iowa
since Horace Boies. 20 years ago. Re-

jorities-Legislature
Will be Close.

Chicago, Ill-Returns for more than
100 precincts in Chicago indicate
Democratic landslide. The election of
the entire Democratic county ticket
by plurality of 10000 is probable.
The returns indicate that the Dem.
ocrats have carried the city by about
$4,000 plurality and that they may
gain Eve or six of the ten congress
sional districts in the city.
Republican headquarters concede
the defeat of Congressman Mann, Mad.
den and Moxley of Chicago.
1t is known that these were elected
to congress: Cannon (Rep), Eight
eenth district; Mckinney (Rep), Four
teenth district; Mckinley (Rep),
Nineteenth district; Fuller (Rep),
Twelfth district; Copley (Rep.), Elev.
enth district; Gallagher (Dem),
Eighth district; Rodenberg (Rep.),
Twenty-second district.
The estimated vote in vermillion
county is 1000 for and 1000 against
each three of the questions of public
policy. The plurality in Vermillion
county for Mitchell for state treasurer
is estimated at 1000.
Joseph G. Cannon has been re-elect-
ed to congress in the Eighteenth dis.
trict over w. l.. Cunliff (Dem) by
about 5000. Cannon's plurality in
Vermillion county is estimated at g.
500 Cannon's plurality in the district
generally was reduced.
The Republicans have elected their
state ticket, but not by nearly the
plurality forecast by the state man
ayers. In Cook county the ticket was
showed under, but it rolled up enough
votes in the down-state to assure its
triumph.
On the face Of the incomplete re
turns, the Democrats have come sc
near electing majority of the house
that the Republicans at headquarters
would not make any predictions con
cerning the speakership. With the re
districting coming up next winter, the
complexion of the house and the
speaker is Of vast Importance to the
politicians, and the narrow margin by
which the Republicans are hanging or
to control has made them dizzy.

REPUBLICANS WIN IN
ST. LOUIS BY 25,oOo.

St. Louis.-With one-half of the 403
precincts of st. Louis in, it was ap-
parent that the greatest Republican
victory in the history of the city had
been won. All three of he Republi-
can candidates for congress, the three
state senators, 16 state representa-
tives and the entire city ticket are
undoubtedly elected. 1t will be a
clean sweep down to justices of the
peace and constables.

TAFT HEARS OF LANDSLIDE

Pittsburg, Pa.-When Presi-
dent Taft's train arrived at
Denrison, Ohio, he was handed
a bunch Of dispatches giving
election returns, among them a
long message from the White
House, clearly foreshadowing a
Democratic victory throughout
the country.
The White House adyices
conveyed the information to the
president that the only comfort
ing returns received up to the
hour the dispatch was sent In
dicated the election of a num-
ber Of Republican congressman.
The president was at dinner
when the dispatches were hand
ed to him. He expressed sur
prise and disappointment, but
declined to comment.

NEW JERSEY

Trenton, N. J.--Returns from New

only state office to be filled, by $4,000
plurality over Vivian M. Lewis (Rep0.
Most of the early returns were from
Republican strongholds, and while
they showed Lewis to be in the lead,
falling off in the nominal Republi-
can vote was indicated on which the
Democratic claim for Wilson's success
was based.

Now nitrogen ia as easy to catch as the

OF nitrogen is may be seen from the fact that
l00bushel crop Of corn takes from the soil
almost 100 pounds OF nitrogen in the corn and
about 4S pounds In tho stalks. Rich. wellbal.
anced land in the corn belt contains about
5000 pounds of nitrogen. Therefore, II the
process OF subtraction OF nitrogen goes on
year after year with never an addition, It can
be seen clearly that the farmers finances can
not multiply. Rotation plans for grain farm.
ers always should include a crop of legumes
Wheat, corn oats and clover is a satisfactory
rotation; also wheat corn and COW peas; also
cotton, corn and oats and COW peas The first
OF these rotations should include catch crop
of clover seeded the first year and plowed un.
der for corn as late as practicable the second
year. The other two should include catch
crops Of lcgumes whenever possible. Legumes
when plowed under perform valuable services
besides supplying tho soil with nitrogen-as
they decay they supply organic matter to tho
soil which helps other elements OF plant food
to free themselves from the earth and into the
farmers bank account
Now that the question OF nitrogen has been
outlined suppose We turn to the problem OF
phosphorus, the only element Of plant food we
ever shall have TO buy. AS to the importance
OF the use Of phosphorus upon the common
soils OF the United States DR.. Hopkins has
this to say:
Phosphorus Is the key to permanent az
riculture on these lands. To maintain or in.
crease the amount Of phosphorus In the soil
makes possible the growth of clover or o.ner
legumes and the consequent addition OF nitro.

To return to the question OF limestone, one

acid condition of most soils. II is, however.

question that has been given much at.
tention lately is the question OF crop rota-
ton. Undoubtedly It is absolutely essential
for successful grain farming but 1t is not
tho universal panacea some would have us be-
lieve. For instance, group OF theorists
have declared that fertilization is unnecessary,
that crop rotation will keep the soils in per
feet condition. The idea Is that plants do not
injure the soil because they use its plant food
elements but because they throw of poisonous
excreta as animals do. Therefore a so-caled
WORKOUT soil simply has become saturated
with this excreta. Plant q crop which win
neutralize the poison Of the last crop and the
soilso will be sweetened and the breasts Of
Mother Earth kept dripping with plenty for
ever. This is very attractive-as a theory. 1t
has, however, no foundation In fact. AS DIT.
