MICHIGAN VOTE IN DOUBT.
suffragists Fear Returns Indicate
Cause Will Lose.

Lansing, Mich. - Leaders in the
fight for the passage of the suffrage
amendment to the constitution of
Michigan admit for the first time that
the complete official returns may show
the defeat of the measure by few
hundred votes. But three counties,
Kaaweenaw. Montcalm and st. Clair,
remain to be heard from ofiicfaIIy.
The official vote from the remainder
of the state gave majority of 165
for the amendment. Unofficial re-
turns from the three missing counties
rolled up a majority of about 700
against it.
There is possibility that the Off
cial returns may be changed in some
instances before the contest is finally
determined.

REPUBLICANS IN MINORITY,
Democrats Have Control of Next
Congress-Progress Few.

CongresS-FrogTeSs FeW'
Washington, D. C.-Complete re-
turns on the congressional election
show conclusively that the recognized
minority party in the 63d congress
will have to be the Republican party.
The returns show that among the
minority members of the house, 128
were elected as Republicans and only
Is as "Progressives. The senate
will have four ''Progressives" only.
On this basis, it is utterly absurd to
set up the claim that the Progress
sive" party will be the recognized mi
nority in the next congress.
Regardless of previous partisan
affiliations; regardless of the presi-
Dental tickets which received the in
dividual support of the respective
members of the new house; regardless
of the possible deadlock in the senate
that may result from dickers and
trades between Democrats and "Pro-
gressive' Republicans and actual Bull
Moosers in that body, the minority
organization in the house and senate
will be dominated by the Republican
party and its chosen leaders. 1t is
also true that there will be new Re-
publican leaders in the next congress,
resulting from the fact that many OF
the old leaders will retire on March 4.
The next house of representatives
will comprise Abs members, of whom
292 are Democrats; the total minor
ity will number 143. As the "Pro-
gressives" number only Is in all, they
will amount in the aggregate to less
than per cent of the total member
ship. This is a nucleus for new
minority organization which by no
means approaches the Populist organ
ization that existed in the SD and 53d
congresses. AS starter it repre-
sents a scant third of the original in
surgent membership of the house as it
stood at the heyday of its power,
when Speaker Cannon was deposed
from membership on the house COM
mittee on rules.

CANNING FACTORY FOR coLFAx
Many Carloads Of Off-grade Apples
Will Be Saved.

Colfax-The need of canning fac
tory to care for the surplus fruit of
this section is being impressed upon
the people of Colfax, who are being
urged to take steps to secure such an
industry before next fall. Hundreds
of tons of fruit were lost this year.
The Burrell estate, with big orchard
at Diamond, has number of carloads
Of inferior apples which will be lost
because there is no canning factory
near and the freight rate to the near
est canning factory is prohibitive.
The nearest factory which would
handle these apples is at Lewiston,
Idaho, and the freight rate is So per
ton.
The Colfax chamber of commerce
will be asked to take steps to organize
a company like that at Pullman for
the handling of off-grade apples and
other fruits which are wasted an
nually. This year, owing to the big
apple crop and the low prices, buyers
are culling apples closer than ever be-
fore. Apples that sold last year for
$50 to $40 per ton are being thrown
out ~ cuils this year. Small apples,
perfect in everything but size, are be-
ing rejected, and because of the lack
of facilities for handling are wasted.
