WILSON NEXT PRESIDENT
Returns From Every State Show. he
Will Have 443 Votes in the
Electoral College.
WOMAN SUFFRAGE BIG VICTOR,
Democrats Increase Majority In the
House--Probably Win Also
Control Senate.

Taft three states, Vermont, Utah and
Idaho with IL votes.
Roosevelt, Eve states, Pennsylvania,
Minnesota, South Dakota and Washing
ton with " votes.
Wilson gets all the rest with 443 cleo
toral votes.
This is the general result on president
as shown by the latest returns.
New York, Nov. 6.-Only the uncer-
tainty is of a few close states where the
electoral vote can affect in no way the
election of Wilson and Marshall, specu-
lation over popular vote of the three
presidential candidates and the COM
plexion of legislatures that will name
United States senators, held the interest
tonight in the final returns of the gen.
eral election.
The total republican electoral column
is apparently fixed at the twelve votes of
Utah, Idaho and Vermont, but the foot
ing of the Wilson and Roos evelt col
umns flickered alternately as late re-
turns from Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota,
South Dakota and Wyoming gave indi-
cations of a change from the results of
yesterday.
On the basis of the latest returns early
tonight with the above five states in the
doubtful column, Prssident-elect Wilson
had 3S7 certain votes in the electoral
college, Roosevelt SO, Taft l2.
All the doubtful states except South
Dakota gave signs of going for Wilson
while South Dakota seems to be for
Roosevelt.
Woman's suffrage was successful in
four of five states where constitutional
amendments were submitted. The VIC
tory of the women is complete in Kan
sas, Arizona, and probably Michigan
and Oregon, while Wisconsin defeated
the proposal.
Estimates of the popular vote polled
by Wilson ranged from a small majority
of all of the votes to million less than
a majority. This, however, will not
effect the electoral college.
Early today New Hampshire was first
credited to Taft, but went for Wilson.
BY majority of l,5O0 Roosevelt's lead
in Chicago is larger than Wilson's in the
state and Illinois is for the former.
Kansas, which was conceded to
Roosevelt last night, showed Wilson
leading by a narrow margin tonight.
Wilson has the better of the situ-
alton in Iowa and Minnesota. Roose.

POSTAL SAVINGS BONDS.

A new form of bond, bearing q per
cent and payable semi-annually, will be
issued by the government on January /,
1913. They are for the postal savings
bank depositors and are issued only in
exchange for the certificates of deposit,
which bear interest at per cent. They
are issued in denominations of $40, 500
and $500, the latter amount being the
maximum any one depositor may have
on deposit. Uncle Sam, in other words,
is willing to pay people one-half per
cent more for taking good care of their
money, but he still has the $500 limit
for any one person.
The bonds in question are of two
kinds-registered and coupon, and the
depositor's application must designate
which kind he wants.
Coupon bonds are preferable for de-
positor who intends to hold them for a
short time only and who has ample
facilities for their safe keeping. These
bonds are payable to bearer, and the
title will pass by delivery without in.
dorsement. Interest on coupon bonds
is collected by means of interest cou-
pons, which are detached by the holder
as they become due.
Registered bonds are preferable for
persons intending to hold them for q
considerable period, and they differ
from the coupon bonds in the following
respects:
(a) They have inscribed upon their
face the names of the persons to whom
they are issued.
(b) They are payable only to the per-
sons to whom issued or their assigns.
(c) The ownership of registered bonds
can be transferred only by assignment
in proper form.
Applications for the bonds by postal
savings depositors must be made at the
postofice on or before December 2.

sentiment of parents upon the subject,
one hundred and eighty cards were sent

and numberless Jack o'laterns diffused

scene, while equally weird strains OF
music and other ghostly sounds made
the occasion one that would strike terror

Probably every one felt relieved when
the lights were turned on, the ghosts
disappeared, the weird music changed
to very lively strain and the dance
"was on" Some however preferred to
play cards and entertainment was pro-
vided for all. Refreshments consisting
of pop corn balls and apples and
"oranges la Stick Candy" were served
later in the evening. The latter, by the
way, sounded like a full orchestra OF
siren whistles, and made very appropri
