SENATE IS IN DOUBT
Western States May Put Demo-
Gratis Within One of Majority.
May Be Swept In With Success OF
Wilson and State Ticket.

Washington, Nov. Cit was still
doubtful early today whether the DEM
ocrats had succeeded in securing con-
troll of the United States senate, al
though a gain OF two seats in Colo
RADIO and one in Montana would put
them within one of a majority, With
a lead of six Republican seats TO over
come, they were sure Of two, one in
Delaware, where a Democratic legis-
lature will choose the successor of
Richardson (Republican), retired, and
one in New Jersey, where William
Hughes, the Democratic member, is
assured of election. Beyond these
the results were still inconclusive.
In Colorado Democratic claims were
that the two Democratic candidates
for United States senator would be
swept in with the success of Wilson
and the state ticket, but this was not
conceded by the opposing managers.
In Illinois the latest Indications
were that the legislature would be
so close as between Republicans and
Democrats that the Progressives and
Socialists would hold the balance of
power in election of successors to
Cullom and Loriner, Republicans.
Returns from Montana showed
Thomas ]. Walsh, Democrat in the
lead and probably elected, but this was
not conceded.
The race in Oregon early today was
doubtful. Ben Selling, Republican,
and Harry Lane, Democrat, were run
ming neck and neck. Stubs, Repub
lican was leading in Kansas. Massa-
chusetts elected a Republican legis-
lature TO choose the successor Of
Crane, Republican, retired. Nelson,
Republican, was reelected In Mime
sofa. Norris, Republican, in Nebras-
ka, was leading, bus by small mar
gin. Rhode Island elected a Repub-
lican legislature. which will choose
the successor to Wetmore, Repub-
lican, retired. In Wyoming the prob
able election of Warren, Republican.
was indicated Massey, Republican,
the incumbent of the seat OF Nixon,
Republican, deceased, was leading In
Nevada. and early indications point
ed to his probable election
The result in Iowa depends upon
the complexion of the assembly,
which may not be determined for sew
eral days Kenyon, Republican, is
the incumbent The same situation
prevails in South Dakota, where the
returns are still too meager to fore
cast result. Early returns from
Idaho indicate the probable election
of Republican majority in the state
legislature, insuring the reelection OF
Borah, a Republican, and a Repub-
lican successor to Hepburn, deceased.

However, That the Fight Has

New York, Nov. 6.-Oficial admis
sion Of the defeat of the Bull Moose"

by Senator Joseph M. Dixon, chairman
of the national Progressive commit

Mr.. Dixon stated, however, that the

manent headquarters during the next
four years, and would again endeavor
to lead their party to victory in 1916

change materially the estimated plu-
rality of 10000 for the national Demo
cratic ticket. Indications were that
the entire state Democratic ticket
would be carried into Office by the
Wilson landslide. These predictions
were based on returns from 629 OF
lap precincts in the state at large,
including ia in Denver. These fig
ures give: Wilson, 36,153; Taft, 22,-
OIL; Roosevelt, 21,572. One hundred
and forty-seven districts reporting So
cialist and Prohibition votes give Debs
1,1S0, Chain 149.
Party leaders are making no conceS
sions and 1t probably will be late to
day before anything like definite re
turns are available.

New York, Nov. 6.AOverturning big
Republican majorities in states never

Q presidential election, the Wilson.
Marshall presidential ticket was
swept into Office yesterday on the
wave Of victory that carried with it
state Offices, congressional seats and
the control of a number of legisla-
lures which will have the opportunity
to oust Republicans from the United
States senate and add to the DEM

his running mate, Gov Marshall Of
Indiana, was the strength shown by
Col. Roosevelt in Illinois, Pennsyl

On returns received from states in
which the result was reasonably GER

There were many important
changes in the results as earlier re-
ported from closely contested states.
Based on returns from more than half
the state, the thirty-eight votes from
Pennsylvania apparently were certain
for Roosevelt today. The race Of Taft.
Roosevelt and Wilson was almost

had been counted. AS precincts out

Roosevelt and Wilson forged ahead
and with more than half the vote

night returns, showed a strong rever-
sal of form and returns from a part
of the state give Wilson a slight lead.
The race in New Hampshire was
so close as to make predictions of the
result impossible. Taft and Wilson
ran neck and neck throughout the
night. Taft's lead varying from 13
to something over 100, and with many
districts yet to be counted the cleo
toral vote remained at issue.
House Strongly Democratic.
President-elect Wilson will have be-
hind him a greatly strengthened ma
jority in the national house OF repre-
sentatives, and the Democrats appa-
rently have chance to win control

Wilson not only carried his own
state, New Jersey, by large majority,

A LOVING TRIBUTE
Communicated

There has passed from among
men, character of unique lovli-
ness, unusual magnetism and great
worth. One who in his brief span
of life won, by his loveable
qualities, strict integrity and loyal
devotion to friends, thousands of
hearts whose love has followed him
to the grave and will ever remain.
All Nevada mourns today for the
death of Lewis l.. Bradley and the
sweet tributes to the mans worth
were exemplified at his bier, where
strong men shook and shed tears of
anguish. The stunned and sad
dened hearts caused by his untimely
end are among men, women and
children in all walks of life.
Children loved him for his good
comradeship; the cow boys of the
hills for the common, manly in
terest iR them and business men
generally for his ability and
honesty. Lew is dead. We shall
look in vain for him ia his accustom-
ed places; we shall miss his CHEEKY
voice and kindly counsels. and life
will, indeed, be haru without his
true friendship.
A kind husband and father
a goud steadfast friend.
His life, was gentle and TIE
elements so mixed in him
That Nature might stand up and
say to all the world:
This was a man.

that 1000 acres will be planted to
beets next year in the vicinity of
Lovelock alone. The farmers of
that section are much enthused at
the results of this years seeding

one of their principal crops.

and Fl. E. Roe, secretary. Of the
Nevada Sugar company, spent part
of last week looking the Lovelock

CONSTABLE OUDERE|RK
DISCHARGED

When our report closed Thurs
day afternoon, Mrs. Morrison was
testifying for the state in the
extortion case against Constable
Ouderkirk. She corroborated her
husbands evidence. This closed
the evidence for the state.
Constable Ouderkirk then took
the stand to tell his side of the
story. HIS examination was not
concluded when the adjournment
was taken until 10 o'clock this
forenoon.
At the forenoon session, Con-
stable Ouderkirk's examination
was resumed. He conrradicted
the witnesses or the state in many
essential particulars. He claimed
that DR.. Morrison offered to pay
damages before he mentioned the
amount and that he did not
threaten him before the offer was
made.
Mrs. Ouderkirk was called at
the conclusion of her husband
examination and her evidence
corroborated his. At the con
clusion of her examination, thecase
was submit ed to Judge Klatte.
He found that the evidence did not
sustain the charge and discharged
Contable Ouderkirk from custody.
The writer heard the direct
evidence of DR.. Morrison and saw
but little in it to justify the sensa-
tional report published in the Free
Press last Saturday If that report
had been borne out by the evidence,
Judge Klatte would have undoubt-
eddy held Mr.. Ouderkirk to answer
for his crime. VindirtiveDess and
malice never win when met by the
cold facts.
