SENATE AND HOUSE OF REPRE-
sENTATlvEs WILL PROBABLY
BE DEMOCRATIC.
COvERNORCAR
TAFT AND ROOSEVELT RUN NECK
AND NECK FOR SECOND
PLACE.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
New York, Nov. 6.-With the elec'
ton of Woodrow Wilson to the pres,
idency and Thomas R. Marshall to the
vice presidency assured by the earlier
returns, the reports up to midnight
gave indications that the electoral vote
to the Democratic candidates would
pass the 800 mark.
The size of the popular majority CIV
en- the Democratic national ticket or
the states outside of Illinois that might
give electoral votes to either Taft or
Roosevelt were matters Of conjecture.
1t was certain, however, that Illinois
would give a big majority to Roose-
welt, while the race in Pennsylvania
was so close as to bring all three can
didates within range of success.
Early returns gave Governor Wilson
and Governor Marshall the solid
South" and the states of Connecticut,
Delaware, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland,
Massachusetts, New York, West Vir-
ginia, Indiana and Missouri.
AS the night advanced and returns
from the West began to come in these
earlier counts were confirmed, and
Montana, New Jersey and New Mexico
were added to those that seemed GER
tain for the Democratic candidates.
while scattering geturns from San
Francisco and Los Angeles made it
probable that California might join the
Wilson-Marshall column.
Rhode Island also became doubt
full state on the returns near midnight,
and based on the later votes reported
it seemed not wholly improbable that
it's five electoral votes would go to
Wilson.
The early returns gave an apparent
victory to Taft in New Hampshire and
Vermont.
The vote in Utah gave indications
Taft.
The vote in Pennsylvania was amaZ
ingly close, the returns from more than
a thousand precincts embracing over
$4,000 votes giving each of the three
leading presidential candidates more
than 10000 votes. President Tart
lead in Philadelphia districts was off
set by the heavy vote polled by Roose
welt and Wilson in other parts of the
state.
Many surprises were shown in the
returns. The New York state assem-
bly, seemed to be overwhelmingly
Democratic.
In Illinois indications were thai
Judge Dunno, the Democratic candi
date for governor, had won notwith
standing the heavy Roosevelt victory
Former Speaker Cannon seemed t.
have been defeated for reelection te
Congress in Illinois.
In addition to Roosevelt's apparent
victory in. Illinois, the confident claims
of the Roosevelt managers that Iowa
Michigan and Kansas would fall into
the Roosevelt column seemed verified
by the partially complete returns a.
on early hour this morning. The re
turns from California were meager
but left the state in doubt between
Wilson and Roosevelt. The uncertain
ty regarding Vermont was settled by
the announcement of the complete
vote which gave Taft majority o.
924 votes.
At 12:45 the Providence, r. l., Jour
nal conceded that state to Wilson, ant
with the result close in New Hamp
shire it seemed probable that New
England entire, with the exception o.
Vermont, had gone over to the Demo
cratic column.

TRUE COURTESY

True courtesy is "the beauty
of the heart" How well il is
that no class has a monopoly in
this kind of beauty; that while
favorable circumstances UNI
doubtedly do render good
manners more common among
persons moving in higher rather
than in lower spheres, there
should, nevertheless, be no posi-
tive hinderance to the poorest
classes having good manners.
Here is an illustration of true
politeness exhibited by both
classes of society. One day, in
hastily turning the corner If a
crooked street in the city, a
young lady ran with great force
against a ragged little begger
boy, and almost knocked him
down. Stopping as soon as she
could, she turned around and
said very kindly to the boy, /
beg your pardon my little fell
low. | am very sorry that | ran
against you.
The poor boy was astonished.
He looked at her for a moment
in surprise, and then, taking Off
about three-quarters or a cap.
he made a low bow and SAID.
while a pleasant smile spread
itself over his face, You can
hev my parding miss, and wei
come; and the next time you run
agin me, you can knock me
down and ! won't say a word. y
After the lady had passed on he
turned to his companion and
said, Il say. Jim. its the first
time ever had anybody to ask

PRIZE WINNING TOMATOES

Much attention has been paid Of
late years to the cultivation of small
fruits and vegetables. In the vicinity
of large cities, in many instances.
vegetables can be handled with the
result of making a most profitable
business. In raising vegetables, how
ever, one must know how to grow
them in order to get the best results.
The secret of how to raise first
class tomatoes is here explained in a
few words. This method does away
with all the uncertainties, and as
sures you good crop. When prop
eTly cultivated, you will have no
small, scrawny tomatoes; they will
have fine flavor, be free from rot.
viii be bright colored, clean, and can
be gathered from the vines like pick
ing apples from a tree.
Before / struck upon this plan,
often had tomatoes of poor quality;
sometimes they would be tasteless,
then again they would nearly all rot
on the vines before maturing. A good
crop does not all depend upon the
soil, for at times have had almost an
entire failure on rich ground, all vines
and no tomatoes. The new method
means sure crop; for fifteen consec-
utive years not one failure, and l
have had an abundance of prize win
ming tomatoes every season.
Select good piece Of ground and
use plenty of fertilizer; pillow or spade
deeply, and when ready to set out the
plants mark off the ground in rows
two feet one way and four feet the
other way, which will admit of Guilt
walton as long as the season lasts
After the ground is marked off, place
stakes or small poles in the ground;
they should be not less than five feet
high for each tomato plant. In choos
ing the plants do not select tree to-
matoes, as they are not prolific, but
pick out some good, smooth, meaty
variety. Place plant on the south
side of each stake, about four inches
from it; train and tie same to the
stake as it grows, using binder Irvine
or cloth strings Many times, when
the vines are very rank, two branch
es will start to grow from the top of
the plant but clip one off, allowing
only one to grow TO a height of five
feet. Then clip off the tops, and keep
them clipped, which will hasten the
ripening, and convert all the strength
of the vine into the tomatoes.
When the plants are about eight or
ten inches high, little runners or
shoots will appear in the forks of the
plant. Here is where the whole Sc
cret lies-these- runners sap the main
vine, and turn all the strength into
vines, instead of tomatoes. When
these little runners appear, pinch
them off and allow only one main
vine to grow. The fruit buds or bios
SONS will also appear in the same
fork, but do not disturb them. Keep
clipping out the runners every time
you find them, or when you cultivate
them
By following the foregoing method,
you viii have nice rows of vines,
hanging full of large clusters Of to-
matoes, instead of a garden full of
vines. The fruit will be nj e. will be-
early clean, handy to pick. One to-
mato, of this years growing, which
was selected from a peck Of toma-
toes that took first prize, tipped the
scales at two pounds-C. V. Bewbody.
