about five square miles, was much
more quickly formed and the line of
advance "a kept much more even.
One coyote is known to have escaped.

shots that killed the coyotes. r. B.

skins are to be made into a rug as a
trophy of the hunt.
At noon the hunters went to Hick-
man Hills, where, over Ed Moore's
general store, the Ladies' Aid Society
served a dinner. The receipts will go

NEW YORK

New York.-Marked gains in the
Socialist vote throughout the State
are shown in the returns from
Tuesdays election. Figures avail
able indicate a total for Charles
Edward Russell, nominee for Cover
nor of $4,000, which is nearly double
the 33.99i vote of 1908. In New York
Russell received 1920.
Most significant, however, are the
increase upstate, SiXty-five cities
that gave a vote of 1850 two years
ago show $4,000 this year. In the
outlying districts the gains are es-
.pecially notable. Districts which
formerly showed less than 10 votes,
this year report from 100, to 500. q
Among the large cities that show
substantial Socialist gains are Buff
falo, Schenectady, Syracuse and Ro-
chester. In some instances the in
creases are high as 500 per cent.
The complexion of the Legislature
which will elect a successor to Sena-
tor Chauncey M. Depew, will be
settled only by more complete re-
turns. although it seems probable
that the Republicans will hold a
working majority. .
In New York City, Herbert Par
sons, Republican, was defeated for
reelection as Representative to
Congress by ]. M. Levy, Democrat,
as was William S. Bennett, Repuh-
lican, by Henry George, Jr.

trict, in Oyster Bay, L. L., gave Dix

CALIFORNIA.

San Francisco.-The Republicans
won a decisive victory all along
the. line in California Tuesday.
Owing to the length of the ticket
and much scratching the count is
proceeding very slowly but indica-
tons point to a heavy plurality for
Hiram w. Johnson, the Republican
gubernatorial candidate over Theo-
dore Bell, his Democratic opponent.
Both The Call, a Johnson paper, and
The Examiner, which waged a
strong fight for Bell. place Johnson's
plurality at something over 10000.
J. Stitt Wilson, Socialist candidate
for Governor developed surprising
strength in the large cities.
William Kent, Republican, appears
to have been elected to Congress
from the second district, by a sub
stantial majority and Julius Kahn
and A. Hayes, Republican incumbent
from the fourth and fifth districts,
respectively, have been returned to
the lower house.
: The Panama-Pacifc exposition
tax and the San Francisco fair bond
amendements were ratified by a
heavy vote in San Francisco and the
northern counties of the State and
by a small but substantial vote in
the southern section.
The Republicans made gains in
both branches of the Legislature.

ILLINOIS

Chicago.-The results Of the cleo
ton in Illinois furnished one OF The
greatest surprises in the entire
country. Although pictured as in
the best shape Of any Slate IN the
Middle West from the Republican
standpoint. nowhere was the Demo-
cratic landslide more pronounced.
The Democrats made a clean
sweep in Cook county and for the
first time in II years they reign SUI
preme here. with %pluralities hang
ing from $4,000 10 25,000. The Dem
ocrals captured the offices OF sheriff,
county treasurer, Comstock, probate
judge, county judge, and in fact
every county Office.
The president and members of The
sanitary district board met defeat in
the general Democratic cleanup.
For the first time in its history a
Democratic member was elected to
The board of review. Local Repub-
lican leaders are staggered by the
results. They had predicted the
election Of their entire county ticket
with pluralities varying from 3d.
600 to $4,000.
Aside from the actual conquest of
county officers the election was i'm
mcnsely important to the Demo-
Gratis as indicating their chances of
electing a mayor of Chicago next
spring.

SHINGT

Seattle, Wash.-The Republicans
Of Washington won a sweeping vic
tory in the election, choosing five
Supreme Justices by a plurality of
about $4,000 and electing all three
Congressman, William f. Humph-
rey, Staunton Warburton and Will
liam LaFollette. The Republican
majority in the Legislature will be
more than 100, insuring the erection
of Miles Poindexter as United States
Senator.
A woman suffrage amendment to
the State constitution seems to have
carried by a majority of 2 to 1, this
ratio being maintained in Seattle,
Tacoma, Spokane and various cast
ern and western Washington coun-
ties.
An. unexpected result of the elec-
ton was the success Of the dry"
faction in local option elections in
all parts Of the State. The saloons
were voted out in Everett and Bel
bingham, cities of more than 10000
inhabitants, and in many other i'm
portant municipalities.

House of Representatives, based on
complete but unofficial returns,
show that the Democrats will have
a safe working majority OF 30.

Republicans are assured of If new
Senators, which, with 81 holdover
Senators, gives them a total Of so.
The Democrats are assured of IS

overs, gives them a total Of 40.
Two Scholarships are still in
doubt, namely, the uccessor of the
late Mr.. Deliver in Iowa, and of Mr..

leave a Republican majority in the
Senate as follows:

of Robert P. Bass,

Governor of Robert P. Bass, Of
Petersboro, who won the Republi-
can nomination on a progressive
platform and for whom Colonel Roo
sevelt spoke three times, was indi-
Gated by returns from about one
half the towns and wards OF the
State. These early figures, if borne
out, would give Bass a majority OF
5000 votes over his Democratic OPP
ponent, Clarence E. Carr, of An
dover.
From the same returns The early
indication was that Congressman
Cyrus A. Sulloway in the first dis
trict and Frank D. Currier in the
second district, both Republicans,
would be returned to Congress by
majorities somewhat reduced over
their 5000 votes each Of two years

most interesting ever held between
presidential periods. The contest
was strenuous. In some sections it
was fierce. The ablest orators Of

The voter who did not understand
the difference Of the great political
organizations was Indifferent, if not
