The State
Hangs in
the Balance
UNITED PRESS LEASED wIRn.l

San Francisco, Nov. S.-With only
about So of the 4372 election precincts
in California missing, Theodore Roose-
velt, Progressive candidate for presi-
dent, is estimated to have a lead Of
about 300 votes over Woodrow Wilson,
but every indication is that 1t will re-
qulre the official count to decide in
which column the state will fall.
1t is also possible that the electoral
vote of the state will be split. In the
south Lleutenant-Governor A. ]. Wal
lace, a Roosevelt elector, was heavily
scratched, and in San Francisco some
Of the Wilson electors were cut by the
voters.
OF the 55 districts unreported as yet
seven are in Los Angeles county. They
are expected to increase the Roosevelt
lead there, which now is 2O,279, by at
least 300 or 400.
1--WE will have at least a plurality Of
21,OOO in Los Angeles county" said
Meyer Lissner, Progressive leader, in
telephone conversation with Pro-
gressive headquarters here today. "The
situation looks good to me-"
The remainder of the missing dis
tricts, however, are counted on by the
Wilson men to pull the president-elect
safely through for the states vote. OF
them, only five are expected to be for
the a Progressive candidate, but the
vote in all is small and 1t is very
doubtful II they will change the result
provided Lissner's prediction is made
good.
Not until next Monday will the Off
cial count of the ballots begin through
the state, and, although various CON-
putations are likely to indicate that
one or the other party will win, 1t Is
as certain as may be that the victor
will not surely be known until Secre-
tary of State Jordan at Sacramento
has received and assorted the official
returns from all over the state.

Austria and Italy Plan to

a General War Seems Sure
UNITED PRESS LEASED wIRE,l

Vienna. Austria Nov. S.--Gravest
fears that within few hours all Eu-
rope will be plunged into war over
the shattered remnant Of Turkey-ln-
Europe are felt here today The sit
uation is most alarming, and the
Bourses here and in Berlin are de-
pressed.
If Servia insists on getting an out
let through her conquered territory to
the Adriatic, officials here say Austria
will be compelled to resort to bullet
and bayonet. Russia then is expected
to back Servia, and an Austrlan-Rus-
sian war would begin, in which 1t
would be almost impossible to prevent
all Europe becoming embroled.
Dispatches today from Belgrade say
the Servian statesmen "do not intend
to be cheated out Of the ports of Du-
raz2o, San Giovanni Del Medu and
Alessio, which were the sole reason
for Servlans entering the Balkan war
against Turkey"
1t is officially announced here to-
day that Austria and Italy plan to di-
vide Western Turkey, regardless of
Servla. Austria wants everything
west of the railroad from Mitrovitza
to Salonika, and Italy wants the rest

Congress
Woman Suffrage Which He
Has Long and ArdeHtly
ChampiOned Winning, the
Women May Reward Him

There is a practical certainty In the
minds Of leading Republicans that
Walter l.. Tooze will be candidate In
1914 in the congressional race against
w c. Hawley, Mr. Tooze has been
prominent in the political and indus
trial life Of this part of the state for
quarter of century. Six years ago
he was candidate for congress, but
was beaten out by Mr.. Hawley,
Mr.. Tooze is an ardent equal suf-
fragist has campaigned in favor Of
that measure and 1t is believed will
depend to a considerable extent on the
doubling of the Oregon vote If he runs
a second time 1t is believed by many
that he would have been elected in
1906 had 1t not been for the candidacy
on the Democratic ticket of s. B.
Houston, of Hlllsboro.
Mr.. Tooze has always been consid-
cred one of the most loyal members Of
the Republican party in the state.
Since he attained his majority about
80 years ago, he has been identified
with the party, and in his youthful
days was known as "The Boy Orator
of French Prairie" His faithfulness
to the party was shown In his stump
inf the district for Congressman Haw-
ley in 1906, after he had been defeated
by that gentleman for the nomination.
PrOphesled Split
AT the Republican assembly In Port
land in 1910 Mr.. Tooze placed in noml-
nation for the governorshlp DR.. Witty
comb Of Corvallis. In the nominating
speech he pleaded with the assembly
for harmony, and predicted that the
split in the Republican party at that
time seemed temporary would become
permanent unless an effort was made
for harmony. He was also chairman
OF the convention that nominated T. T.
Geer for governor.
For many years Mr.. Tooze was a
resident Of Woodburn where he made
good money as produce broker In
1907 he moved to Falls City where he
operated large department store un-
til burned out two years ago. He is
now In business in Salem.

Close Race for Constable.

The contest between John L. Lewis,
the present incumbent of the con-
stables office OF Salem district, and
f. d. Cooper, the regular Republican
nominee, was quite exciting. In two
OF the II precincts each candidate re-
celved the same number OF votes, and
in a number Of others the vote was
very close, the final count showing
that Lewis had 1920 and Cooper 1924,
giving Mr., Cooper a plurality Of 1Oi
votes. Daniel Webster won out for
justice Of peace by over twice the
number Of votes received by his two
opponents, r. r. Ryan receiving 32S
and Oliver Jory receiving 58S. Web

he did not obey what he said he'd do
for letting him out to come back home
TO the ranch, His nanny and | want
you to know that we did not raise him
up that way"
With this simple explanation of the
stern sense of justice that prompted
his act, d. w. Lamb, weather-beaten
old rancher, of Shasta county dellv.
cred to Warden Hoyle, at San Quentin
prison, his 27-year-old son, Frank
who had broken his parole.
There was just a suspicion of mois-
ture in the fathers keen gray eyes as
he shook the boys hand in parting at
the big grated door of the prison. The
set Of his chin relaxed a little.
"We VIII Be Waitln'."
Well son." he said slowly, "be a
good boy while you are here. Do
what's right, and when you get out,
come back up to the ranch. Your
nanny and | will be waitin for you. "
And then to the warden: sort of
look after Frank. He's only boy
after all, and a good boy, for all he's
done. This ought to teach him les
son. We tried hard to bring him up
right, but he went a little wild.
Come back to the ranch," he plead
ed, his lips working in final appeal
to his son. Then he turned and
marched away, his old-fashioned sense
Of duty and honor satisfied.
Frank Lamb was a model prisoner
at San Quentin, where he was taken in
1906 to serve a seven-year term for
grand larceny. The parole machinery
was invoked and he was released on
probation in 1908 with instructions
not to leave the state and to make re-
ports to the authorities at stated in
tervals.
Broke His Parole.
For a time young Lamb succeeded
in obeying the parole regulations.
Then the trait which his father char
acterized as "a little wild" reasserted
itself and he took to the road A short
time ago, tired of the husks of wan
derer's life, he drifted back to the
home ranch.
Come on boy we're goin' back to
jail, said the father First sit down
and eat a hearty meal-just like you
used to when you we're a little fellow,
and then we'll CO."
With hands shading her eyes the
mother watched her boy being led
back to four years more of prison life
by the stern old father. Neither of
the two looked back Today the father
came back alone to the waiting moth
er.
81 don't hold anything against the
old man for bringing me back here, -
said the boy TO Warden Hoyle. "I'm
going to try to be more like him. II
I'd been like him I'd never got into
this scrape at all He's a good old
dad"
