VICTORY FOR DEMOCRATS
ELECT GOVERNORS IN FOUR RE-
PUBLICAN STATES.
Will Control Next Congress and Elect
Democratic Speaker-Senate
Majority Reduced.

Elections held throughout the
country Tuesday resulted in politi-
cal convulsion of far-reaching ex-
tent, similar in many points to the
famous tidal wave of 1882 and ap-
parently more widespread in it's effect.
The national house of representa-
tives has been carried by the Demo-
Gratis, who will control that branch
of congress by safe working major
ity after March 4, next, reversing the
present Republican majority Of 43
Republicans. Champ Clark, of Mis-
souri,, has announced his candidacy
for speaker to succeed Speaker Can
non.
The United States senate will prob
ably have a reduced Republican ma
jority as result Of legislative elec-
tions held in many States.
Started at Top.
In New York State, John A. Dix,
Democratic candidate for governor,
is elected over Henry L. Stimson, Re-
publican, by a plurality of about So
900, revising the Republican plurali-
ty of 10000 in 1908 for Governor
Hughes.
In New Jersey, Woodrow Wilson,
Democratic candidate for governor, is
elected over Vivian NJ. Lewis, Repub-
lican, by about $1,000 plurality, re-
versing the previous Republican plu-
rality of 5000 for Governor Fort.
In Massachusetts, Eugene Foss,
Democratic candidate has defeated
Eben S. Draper, Republican candi-
date, reversing Governor Draper's
former plurality of 5000.
Reversed Big Plurality.
In Connecticut, Judge Simeon E.
Baldwin, Democratic candidate, is
elected governor over Charles A.
Goodwin, Republican, by about 1000
plurality, reversing the $1,000 plu-
rality of the Republicans.
In Ohio, Judge Judson Harmon,
Democratic candidate for reelection,
appears to have carried the State by
about 10000 over Warren c. Hard
ing, Republican candidate.
In New Hampshire, Robert H.
Bass. Republican candidate for gov
ernor, is leading Charles E. Carr,
Democratic candidate, by about g.
900 plurality.
In Pennsylvania the election of
John H. Tenor, Republican candidate
for governor, is claimed by large
plurality.
In Rhode Island, Gov. Pothier,
Republican candidate is slightly in
the lead over Lewis A. Waterman,
Democratic candidate, with plural
ity much reduced from that Of 1909.
Hooper is Elected.
In Tennessee, the fusion candidate,
Ben. w. Hooper, is apparently elected
by $4,000 plurality.
Democratic governors have been
elected in Alabama and South Caro-
Lima.
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
Republican candidate for governor,
Francis E. McGovern, is elected by
reduced majority and the return OF
Senator La Toilette to the United
States senate is assured.
In Michigan, Chas. E. Osborne, the
Republican candidate for governor,
appears to have a safe lead over L.
y. Hemans, Democrat.

One wouldn't think money was
scarce in this section if he judged by
the amount of whiskey being shipped

else, even to pay their debbts.

A wonderful impetus has been CIV

READY FOR FRAY
Waterloo Confident of Putting
Up a Winning Fight Against
Losing Berth.
NOT TELL WHAT PLAN Is
Figures Given, to Prove That City is
Better Baseball Town Than
Quincy Ever Was.

The Waterloo Times-Tribune says
that that city has a plan prepared by
which it is confident of keeping its
place in the Three-Eye league and
criticism aimed by Dubuque scribes
at the Booster city for their apparent
lack of activity is resented. The Times
Tribune says
When the proper time comes Wat
erloo will be there with the fight and
every fan in this city expects Water
loo to succeed. II has never failed and
while the plans for making that fight
have not been heralded from every
house top. the Dubuque fans will not
have to worry about Waterloo in that
respect.
IF the Three-Eye league directors.
or fraction thereof, were acting in
good faith and making an honest ef-
fort to upbuild the organization, there
would be no fight on Waterloos class
as a baseball city or commercial cen
ter. Quincy as a city is at a standstill
while Waterloo is making rapid
strides of progress every year. Dur
ing the past 10 years Quincy made a
gain in population of little over 800,
Waterloo has made a bigger gain in
population since the census was taken
than Quincy made in the last decade,
and Waterloo will continue to gain as
1t is enjoying a steady growth
waterloo fans are loyal and will
support baseball with a winning or los
ing team. This has been demons STRAIT
ed, while on the other hand. the Quin-
cy fans are without question the hard
est bunch of losers in the world and
their papers are known throughout
the Central association for their abil-
ity as knockers
TEARNEY DENIES.
President A. r. Tearney denies that
he issued the statement credited 10
him by the Chicago papers one week
ago. He declared that he gave out no
interview stating that Waterloo was to
be dropped, and furthermore that it
was beyond his power to make such
statement, as the matter is up 10 the
directors of the league
He also stated in a letter to a Wa
terloo friend that his only statement
was that he would regret to see any
changes in the Three-Eye circuit"
ROWAN Is SLIPPING.
Manager Rowan of Peoria. who has
been quoted as declaring himself sat
isf1ed with the present circuit, is now
out with a statement that he will favor
dropping Waterloo and Dubuque in IA
vor of Quincy and Decatur if the thing
can be done openly and fairly. He
would like to see Managers Boyle and
Rowland transfer themselves and their
teams to the new towns in case the
change is decided upon.

KEEP BABY'S SKIN CLEAR

Few parents realize how many es-
Unable lives have been embittered
and social and business success pre-
vented by serious skin affections
which so often result from the neglect
of minor eruptions In infancy and
childhood. With but little care and
the use of the proper emollients, baby's
skin and hair may be preserved, puri-
fed and beautified, minor eruptions
prevented from becoming chronic and
torturing, disfiguring rashes, feelings,
irritations and chafings dispelled.
To this end, nothing is so pure. so
sweet, SO speedily effective as the con-
slant use of Cuticura Soap, assisted,
when necessary. by Cuticura Ointment.

SANDWICHES.

Sandwiches should be prepared with
an idea Of appearance and nourish-
ment, as often they are the main food
at a picnic. Bread for sandwiches
should be fine, close-grained bread at
least one day old. Warm the butter,
not melt 1t, and spread the bread,
matching the slices as they were cut
from the loaf To pack sandwiches
many wrap them in damp cloth.
others wrap each sandwich separately
in waxed paper.
In preparing sandwich filling the
important point to remember is that
it shall be soft, fine and spreadable.
A cucumber or two packed In the ice
is used to cool the lemonade, or may
be used as a salad filling with a lit
tie onion juice to season it.
A bottle of lemon strip to use FOR
lemonade is always a welcome addi-
ton to the picnic basket. Simple
cakes and salads may be added, pick
les and olives, sailed nuts and fruits
will make a basket well supplied with
good things.
Iced coffee is liked by many for a
drink, or iced cocoa is always popu-
lar. Use wooden or paper plates, for
they may be thrown away and are
much lighter to carry. A thermos
bottle is fine acquisition to a picnic
basket If one wants either hot or
cold drink.

ART OF KEEPING QUIET.

The blessed art of keeping quiet is
one which our American women must
learn if they would keep from nerv-
GUS prostration and hundred other
Ills. The first lesson to learn is to
know when one has been talking too
much or moving too much. Half the
women we meet have no idea of ply
steal repose. She shifts position,
swings her foot, twirls her thumbs,
turns her head and is not quiet single
moment
A high pitched voice is another indi-
cation of nervousness, 1t is often the
sure sign of exhaustion.
One of the worst symptoms of q
nervous break down is the inability to
let go. She holds on to the very thing
that Is undermining her health like a
dog to root
The more she goes the more she
has to go. She loses all sense of the
fitness of things, and all ideas of the
proportion of rest and action that
must exist If one keeps sound and
sane. The asylums are not holding all
the insane men and women by any
means.
The great experts on keeping health
emphasize the art of keeping quiet.
The woman who gives up all society,
all vital touch with the world makes
even a greater mistake as she is lost
both In the world and herself; but
there is a happy medium. One must
choose between the two, 1t is not nee
essary to be either butterfly of a
vegetables.
No doctor can do so much for a ner-
Gus young woman as she can do for
herself. The art of self control is
learned in keeping quiet.
A day spent in the woods where one
can quietly sit for hours and be per-
fectly quiet will break up good case
of nerves. An hour a day in perfect
quiet where 6ne can think out ones
own thoughts is a great help in main
tanning mental poise.

tuberculosis in the Prisons.

The fact that 100000 prisoners are
discharged from the jails and prisons
Of the country annually, and that from
10 to Is per cent. of them have tuber-

ing special places for their treatment
while they are confined serious one.
So important is the problem that the
