BATTLE
RAGING

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
SOFIA, Bulgaria, Oct. 28.-Of-
fetal dispatches from the Bulgar-
ian battle line at Adrianople
and news dispatches reaching here
today from Constantinople both
declare that a desperate battle
between Turks and Bulgarians is
raging over the whole territory
between Adrianople and the Black
sea, fighting line of nearly 100
miles. The struggle, dispatches
agree, has been in progress since
Wednesday.
Latest accounts from Adrian
ople here are that the city still
holds out, rain having greatly
hampered the operations of the
besieging Bulgarian forces.

on that feature and agree to a per

PRIMARY RETURNS SHOW LARGE GAINS

will be noticed that the Democrats
have made gains in all but one of the
30 out of SO counties from which re-
turns have been received at Olympia
so far.
The Republican vote on the other
hand. has shown a general falling off.
In spite of woman suffrage, which
should have added materially to the
vote, Republicans of King county cast
5000 votes less for congressman than
two years ago, and in Spokane county
cast 5.746 this year as against 9,S43
two years ago.
Other interesting features are pre-
sented in the following table, the
striking one being the steady and con-

vote and the equally as constant de-
crease in the Republican:
