EXILE IN SIBERIA
TO Be ABOLISHED
BY ORDER OF GAR BENlSH-
MENT TO SIBERIA WILL CEASE
-RUSSlA'S GREATEST SHAME.

New York, Oct. 2O.--That Russia
is to abolish the dread decree OF
banishment to Siberia by order OF
the czar, is the news received here
in advices from St Petersburg.
The Russian minister of justice. J:
is said, is preparing a bill complete
ly abolishing penal servitude in ST.
IBERIA, and substituting the same
punishment in the penitentiary OF
European Russia. or late years the
number Of conVicts in Siberia has
been increasing and there have been
protests from the free population
that the country is overrun with the
: scum of European iails.
The authorities recognize that the
dumping of convicts in Siberia is
seriously hampering the development
of that country.
Siberia is a name which long has
struck terror to tie political enc
mics of the Muscovite dynasty. II

sia in a vast snowy ribbon to the
Sea of Oshotsk, bleak, forbiddine
and unhealthy, but nearly as rich as

Reply to L. D. RatIln.

In the open Forum" column of the
Capital Journal of October 2S, Mr.
Ratliff claims that the principles sci
forth In the Roosevelt or Progressive
platform are the very opposite of So
cialism. Now, If Mr.. Ratlifr is correct
IN this, why then do the Socialists ac-
cuse Mr.. Roosevelt of stealing their
principles? Every Socialist on the
street corner and elsewhere declares
that Teddy stole planks from our
platform" Mr.. w. j. Ghent, a writer
in the National Socialist, says: 80
the new party which goes boldly forth
to its first campaign with the lnscrip-
ton on its banners, Thou shalt not
steal, begin its careers with the braz-
en- theft Of half of the working pro-
gram of the Socialist party"
Mr.. Roosevelt is not Socialist.
Neither Is the Progressive party a
full-fledged Socialist party. But the
party is surely socialistic enough that
voter who believes in Socialist prin-
ciples can consistently vote the ticket.
Mr.. Ratliff overlooks one important
boint in regard to Mr.. Roosevelt.
Whiio Mr. Roosevelt believes in fed
eral control of the corporations by a
commission appointed by the presi-
dent, he also believes in national di-
rect legislation and Of increasing the
power Of the people to such an extent
that even the president himself shall
be subject to recall by the people.
The Progressive party intends that the
people themselves shall rule the coun-
try and control the industries of the
country in their own interests.
If a person will read the Socialist
party Bible, published in Girard, Kan
sas, and known as the appeal to
and also that patriotic sheet
the "Rip-Saw," he will come to the
conclusion that the great danger is
not in imaginary Roosevelt despotism,
but in the anarchistlc tendencies of
the Socialist movement.

The Herald
Estimates
the Votes

Here is the way the New York Her
aid has it figured out. OF course its
guess is no better than any ones else,
only 1t has taken numberless straw
votes and all that kind Of stuff, but
you can paste 1t up and see how close
newspaper can gues-or how badly.
Anyway here is the papers figures and
the Chicago Herald's alignment of the
states.
That Governor Wilson will carry
thirty-fve states, giving him 429 cleo
toral votes, is indicated by the Repub-
lican presidential poll which has Just
been completed by the New York Her
aid.
In order to insure his election Will
son only requires 266 electoral votes
while he has nearly double that num-
ber.
The poll gives Roosevelt seven
states, Taft three, Wilson thlrty-five
and places three in the doubtful col.
umn. Wilson will receive 429 cleo
toral votes, Roosevelt rs, and Taft II,
If the poll conducted by the New York
paper is to be considered an index to
public sentiment
Forecast Based on Poll of Voters.
The following table from the Chica-
80 Record-Herald shows how the elec.
toral vote would be cast If the popular
vote on election day should bear out
the indications Of that papers prellm-

Democrats Also Reelected Governor

Foss.
Boston, Nov. 7.-As was predicted
before the polls opened, Wilson and
Marshall carried Massachusetts by
a plurality of $4,000, and for the first
time in the history of the Bay State
its electoral votes will be cast for
Democratic candidates for president
and vice president.
Foss and Walsh, the Democratic
candidates for governor and lieuten-
ant governor, were also successful at
the polls, the third successive time
that the former has been eelcted and
the first time for a great many years
that a Democrat has been chosen for
the second highest Office in the state.
The Republicans saved half of the
congressional delegation of sixteen
and maintained their ascendancy in
both branches of the legislature,
which means a Republican United
tates senator as a to w.
Murray Crane.
The presence of Colonel R~o0sevelts
name on the ticket practically split
the Republican vote in two. The candi
dacy' of Charles S.. Bird, Progressive
nominee for governor, pulled many
thousands of votes from Joseph Walk
er, the Republican nominee.
Taft ran second to Wilson in the
state, but Colonel Roosevelt was a
close third.

by a plurality of 10000.
Baldwin, the Democratic governor
Of the state, is reelected by a plural
ity that threatens to exceed $4,000.
The election of five Democratic con-

The large plurality of Governor
Baldwin carried the entire Democratic
state ticket with it, something that
has not happened in Connecticut in
this geenration of voters. Governor
Baldwin ran well ahead of Governor
Wilson.
The Democrats will control the state
senate, thus making certain the abil

Washington, Nov. THE new con-
gress will be Democratic in 10Th It's
branches. The senate will probably
stand So Democrats and "A Republl-
cans and the house 222 Democrats, 129
Republicans and IA Progressives.
Uncle Joe" Cannon has been de-
in-law, Nicholas Longworth, OF Gin
~cinanti, slipped iu by a narrow mar
gin, as did also Serene E. Payne, OF
New York, at present chairman OF the
minority in the house, and John
Weeks, of Massachusetts.
The Democratic gain in Massachu-
setts was not anywhere nearly as
great as the enthusiastic Bay State
leaders imagined. In Ohio the indica-
lions are that the Republicans will
have only two or three congressman,
while in the present house they have
five. There will be eighteen Repubil-
can congressman from New York as
against fourteen in the present house.
In the senate the Progressive lead
ers were smitten hip and thigh.
George W. Norris and Joseph M. Dix
on, the national Progressive chair
man, are surely defeated, as are prob
ably Jonathan Bourne, of Oregon, and
William S. Kenyon, of Ohio. Governor
Stubs, of Kanas, will probably fail
on the election.
In the seante the Democratic gains
are as follows:
One in Colorado, where Senator
Guggenheim r~etires; II in Iowa,
where Senator Kenyon r%etires; n
in Montana, where Senator Dixon goes
out; one in Nebraska to take the place
of Senator Norris Brown; n in New
Jersey to take the place of Senator
Briggs, and probably one In Nevada,
taking the place of Senator Massey.
In Massachusetts, it is expected
that on joint ballot for United States
senator the legislature will be very
close.
Of sixty candidates for the house
of representatives SO far known to be
elected, 80 are Republicans, 27 are
Democrats, 8 are ~Progressives and 1
is a Socialist. This is a gain for the
Democrats and there is a possibility
that the P~rogressives may hold the
balance of power.
The terms of thirty-one United
States senators will expire on March
4, 1913. In addition to most of these,
four seats now vacant were involved
in the elections.

NEW JERSEY DEL OCRATIC
Sweep the State and Elect Eleven
Congressman.

Sweep the State and Elect Eleven
Congressman.
Trenton, N. j., Nov. practically
complete, though unofficial, returns
show that New Jersey gave Governor
Wilson a plurality of $4,000, elected
eleven Democrats out of twelve con-
gressmen, and turned the state legis-
lature from Republican to Democratic
by a large majority, insuring the cleo
ton of former Congressman William
Hughes, Democrat, in place of the
present senator, Franklin o. Briggs,
Republican, whose term expires on
March 4, 1913.
Roosevelt degeated Wilson in Els
sex by 1855 and Taft by 1919. The
figures are viewed as indicative of
former United States Senator James
Smith, Jr.'s handiwork. Smith has
hated Wilson ever since Wilson as
governor blocked Smiths way to re-
election to the upper house at Wash
ington. Smiths followers, on the face
of the returns, voted for the Bull
Moose instead of the donkey in the
hope, since proved forlorn, that they
might prevent Wilson from swinging
his home state.
Latest returns from the congress
sional fight indicate hat the Demo
Gratis carried eleven out of twelve dis
tricts, the sole remaining district saw
ed to the Republicans being the First,
in which William ]. Browning, of
Camden, has been reelected, debating
John T. Wright, Democrat.
In the other ten districts the sue
cessful Democratic nominees are as
follows: Second district, J. Thomp-
son Baker; Third, Thomas F. Scully;
Fourth, Allan B. Walsh; Fifth, William
e. futile; Sixth, Lewis B. Martin;
Seventh, Robert G. Breunner; Eighth,
Eugene F. Kinkaid; Ninth, Walter J.
Mccoy; Tenth, e. w. Townsend;
Eleventh, John ]. Eagan; Twelfth,
James A. Hamill.
In the fight for control of the state
legislature returns are not as yet
complete. They show, however, that
the assembly will probably stand 80
Democrats to s Republicans and the
senate u Democrats to 9 Republicans.
This gives a Democratic majority on
joint ballot of At, insuring the election
of Hughes, the preferential primary
favorite, to the United States senate
in place of Briggs, the present Re
publican senator, and the election OF
a Democrat to succeed Wilson as gov
ernor for the unexpired term.
