Republicans Claim Everything,
but Figures are Stubborn
Things

Santa Fe, Nov. 15-With 165 scat
tered d.election precincts still to hear
from the result of last Tuesdays cleo
tion is still in doubt AS to some of the
candidates on the state ticket. AS near
as can be ascertained from the returns
already in, McDonald's majority for
governor is about 1000 and it is be-
lieved that the election of the governor
carries with it that of every other
man on the democratic ticket, includ-
the justice of che supreme court.
The republican central com mnittee
this afternoon issued a statement
claiming the election Of Clancy for
attorney general by a majority of over
one thousand and that of Curry, repub
lican for congress, by thirty or forty
votes; Stroup, for school superintendent
by ten and Sargent for auditor and Err
vien for land commissioner by majcri-
ties of about two hundred. Shortly af-
ter the statement was issued the re-
publican managers discovered that an
error had been made in the returns
from Socorro county and that the re-
pubicans had been credited with two
hundred more majority in this county
than the returns warranted. The re-
suit of this error practically wiped out
all the majorities claimed for the le-
publican candidates with the exception
of Clancy for attorney general. Mr..
Clancy, in almost every county, ran
ahead of his ticket and it is believed
that he has a show to be elected
though the candidate himself is far
from optimistic and is about ready to
conCede his defeat
The democratic managers here still
insist that their entire ticket is elected
and that none of their candidates will
have less than five hundred majority
Both sides quote figures to substantiate
their claims, but in every case the
figures are far from complete and it is
generally conceded that it will require
the official canvass of the vote before
the result on some of the candidates is
known.
Bitter complaint is heard on ali sides
at the delay in sending in the returns
and on all sides is heard talk of fraud
and attempted fraud and manipulation
of the ballot boxes.

Christmas Goods are arriving

local stores. The Estancia Drug

splendid line during the past few
years, will not be one whit be-

fine a display from which to
choose as many stores in cities
several times the size Of Estan-

Goods have been priced for less
money in Estancia than in the

everyone to secure his or her

BUILDING STATE HIGHWAYS
IS FAvORHE PAST|ME
Everybody Has ths Opportunity to Con
struct paper" Thoroughfares for
State Highway Commission

These are the days when every enter
prising community of California is con-
structing paper highways, and each
community hopes that it's favorite road
will be adopted by the State highway
commission as a part of the system to
be constructed by the money raised from
the $1S,000,000 bond issue.
Among the latest road plans presented
to public attention that will be of inter-
est to Imperial Valley Press readers is
a route to extend from Banning to and
through the Coachella valley, connecting
all the towns of the latter valley. This
would include Indo Coachella Thermal
and Mecca.
Two routes are proposed. One of these
practically parallels the Southern Pa
cific main line. The other would run from
Banning to Palm Springs, located about
six miles off the railroad, and would
skirt the base of the mountains through
the pass, running from Palm Springs to
Point Happy and thence to Indio. This
latter route has the endorsement of some
practical road builders, as it would be
less in the direct path of the heavy winds
that sweep through the pass and follow
the railroad route. There is only four
miles difference in the length of the two
routes.

delay. While that is being done we will
be laying our plans.
II have an idea that the boy will
decide to ascend about 10 o'clock in
the morning. He will take southery
route to avoid the higher of the high
mountains. He has a very powerful
machine and very heavy one, too. When
he Is seated in it, it weighs about 1900
pounds. We are confident the mountains
to the south will not interfere with his
fight.
There are lots of minor details to be
decided upon which will be settled when
Bob gets here. Once he starts from As
cot park he will keep at it until he
lands in New York and in a position
to claim the $4,000 prize hung up for
the first aviator to cross the continent
in flying machine
Mr.. Fowler's ascent from Los Angeles
will be his fourth in an attempt to cross
the mountains with his machine, a
Wright biplane. A previous trip was
made at Emigrant Gap, up in the Sierras.
At one time he was almost over the
summit and at an altitude of more than
5000 feet when his engine stopped, owing
to the rarefied atmosphere, and he was
forced to return to earth. In making the
trip by a more southerly route he will
only have to reach an altitude of about
5000 feet
On the three different occasion Mr..
Fowler tried to cross the mountains it
was from Colfax. He finally abandoned it
there for the effort down here.

Allison kept up his declaration that il
was case of mistaken identity until
the deputy sheriff arrived from Stock
ton, accompanied by a Mr.. Hahn, q vic
tim of Ogles operations in that CITY, They
at once recognized him and he made no
further attempt to deny that he was
Ogle.
1t appears that Ogle was in the bus
mess of building houses anu selling them
on payments at Stockton, and that he
had undertaken to build for Hahn, fur
nishing him clear property and Hahn
was to turn over his automobile as the
first payment. When Ogle got possession
of the auto he came down to Ell Centre,
and this was the machine that he Of
fered for sale here. Hahn found that
he was out one auto and in for the en-

work proceeded.

lBY UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATIONS
Los ANGELES, Oct. 9.-The prosecu-

day that the court cannot hold member
ship in the Merchants and Manufacturers
Association a legal disqualification in
selecting jurors, despite the defense's
contention that permitting q member of
that association on the jury meant plac-
ing the fate of the accused men in the
, hands of their accusers After Judge
Bordwell had a roll of veniremen called.
he said: "All you gentlemen who be-
--eve you are not quaifiedl for jury duty
please stand up" With the exception
Of nine men. the total venire present
arose. The question OF individual excuses
was then taken up and the first three
were promptly excused.
How strong the desire of venire mon
is to keep from serving on this trial
Is shown by the fact that eight Of the
hrst twelve names called to qualify were
stricken from the list and the other four
had excuses that were taken under ad-
visement.
When Judge Bordwell ordered a lunch
con recess he had passed on 33 of the
first venire of 125. Three names re-
manned on the list for examination by

At tl1r Ghurrllra
At the State Street Christian Church

Last night Rev. Conley spoke on the
subject, What Christ Has Done for
Womanhood In view of the election
Tuesday the pastor gave his position on
the living issue of equal suffrage. He
spoke as follows:
Paul states the fundamental basis of
found in Galations, "There can be neither
Jew nor Gentle, neither bond nor free.
neither male nor female" At one sweep
he removes all the arbitrary restrictions
imposed by the tyranny of men. In the
sight of God there is no distinction of
male and female in the matter of I iv-
ileges in His kingdom.
l believe that California should give
the right of suffrage to her women as a
matter of simple justice. In our nation
there are 5000, 900 women who earn a
living for themselves and often for others.
They must obey the laws and they pay
taxes upon their property just as men.
They have no voice in the making of
the laws, or in the election Of the off,
GERS who handle their taxes. Our fathers
raised the cry. Taxation without repre-
sentatiOn is tyranny" and the principle
is the same today.
acter needed to exercise the right of
suffrage. Every year in our high schools
more girls graduate than boys. This
would indicate a higher average of edu-
cation for women than men. In the
matter of character there is no question
of the high standard of the women of
California.
Five States already have granted the
right of voting to women, Washington,
Idaho, Wyoming, Utah and Colorado.
Twenty other States allow them to vote
in school elections In England, Scotland
and Wales she may vote in all elections
except for members of parliament. 1t
is in the line of progress of the twenti-
eth century. and California will not be
left in the procession.
In all questions of reform the Christian
women are needed. Seattle Is recent
example of how a corrupt mayor may be
removed by the help of the good women
of a city. We have great problems to
meet in our civic life. and great perils
from the greed and selfishness uof men,
California needs all the help she can Sc
cure from those who are most interested
in the protection of our homes from
the saloons. the gambling dens and kim
dred foes. Let us arm our women for
the battle.
