death. Mrs. Hook was born in Gran

The Election Result.

Tuesdays election results, though
what might be called ''spOtty," give
good encouragement to the Demo
cratic hope of a national victory in
1912. There have been losses and
gains for the Democrats, but the net
result is loss for the Republicans, one
~of the significant features Of this off
year election being the large vote cast.
Emphatic Democratic gains are re-
corded in Kentucky, where the party
has again been given control of the
state and of the legislature which will
elect United States Senator. New
Mexico, where the Republicans eX-
pected victory at this first state cleo
ton proved to be triumph for the
Democratic ticket. Democratic con-
troll of the legislature is also indi-
Gated, which would mean Democratic
United States Senators.
Significant also is the Democratic
victory in Cincinnati, President Taft's
home, where he urged the support of
he regular Republican ticket. There
the Democratic candidate for mayor
won by about 5000 plurality. Cleve-
land and Columbus also went Demo
cratic.
In Massachusetts, the reelection of
the Democratic candidate for govern
tor, FOSs, even by a reduced plurality
indicates that Democracy still has
much strength in that supposedly
rock ribbed Republican state and
stronghold of high protection. And
in New York the Republican winning
Of the legislature is no doubt pro-
test against Tammany and Murphy
ism rather than against Democracy,
while in Philadelphia the victory OF
Blankenberg over the regular Repub-
lican or PenrOse candidate, Earle, is
significant of the revolt against the
present control of the regular ma
chine. Both Philadelphia and Gin
cinnati have long been Republican by
large pluralities.
One of the features of the election
was the strength shown by the Social
lists in the manufacturing cities where
there are large numbers of working
people. Several such cities have given
pluralities to that party, notably
Schenectady, n. Y, and FOSJOria, LO-
rain and some smaller Ohio commune
ties.
There were other Democratic gains
and also other losses, among the lat
ter probably being Maryland, which
seems to have gone Republican. In
most such instances there were fac
tiOnal and local issues which took
from the election any national sig
nificance.
Taking it all in all the returns give
hope to Democracy and show a con
tinued trend toward that party and
against the Republican party which
has been bringing upon its head the
displeasure of the people and which
has been so devoted in the past to the
special privilege Institutions toward
which there has been so much pOpu-
lar resentment manifested Milwau-
kee News.

Prosper, a son of T. W. Ceranski of
the town of Cassel, was shot Sunday.
while out hunting with his father,
brother Joe and J. Holkewicz. There
is considerable doubt as to how the
accident occurred, or who did the
shooting, but the general superstition
IS that the Rolkewicz boy did the
shooting, which was purely accident
al. The boy was hustled to a sur-
geon and was then brought by special
train to this city, and taken to ST.
