NONE CAN PREDICT WHO
GETS CALIFORNIA ELECTORS

San Francisco, Calif.-Seventeen
days after the national presidential
election the question whether Wilson
or Roosevelt carried California is
III a worse tangle of legal complica-
tons and threatened law suits than
at II previous time. The outcome is
utterly beyond prediction.
Progressive leaders, disappointed
by the courts decision in Los Angel
es, invalidating totals for electors in
precincts where the election judges
had sought to save time and trouble
by not putting down tally marks for
any electors except the top of each
ticket, took heart today and decided
to institute like proceedings in all
the counties of the state which show
ed a plurality for Wilson.
This action was announced fol
lowing receipt in Los Angeles of an
earnest telegram from Coy. Hiram w
johnson at Sacramento beginning:
1T is reported in the press here that
the progressives are going to quit"
telegram urged a contrary atti-
tude.

RETAINS THE
RAPID CITY GUIDE

Repid City, S. D.-Difficulties
between Ben NJ. Wood, secretary of
the South Dakota Good Roads asso-
citation and w. j. Todd, editor of the
Gate City Guide have been adjusted.
Receiver G. f. Besancon of the
Blunt advocate has been discharged
and Wood has withdrawn his applica-
ton filed in the circuit court asking
for a receiver.
Wood and Todd were joint owners
OF the Guide, a weekly democratic
newspaper and the publishing comp
any conducted in connection with it.
During the wolf bounty inquisition
Todd took extreme measures in his
support of the Fall brothers and also
was prime mover in the probing of
the county treasurers Office records
which eliminated in the wolf bounty
prosecutions and the sending of the
Fall boys to the peliitentiary. To cap
the climax fittingly Todd placed a
third county ticket in the field and
stirred up such a rumpus in the dem
ocratlc party in the county that all
of the republicans Were elected by
majorities of from 200 to 500 in con
tradistinction to the heads OF the
democratic ticket who came through
with flying colors.

APPELLATE COURT GIVES
CALIFORNIA TO WILSON

Los Angeles, Calif.-A decision of
the appellate court handed down to-
day apparently assures a majority for
Wilson in California of about $50
votes and nearly all, if not all, of the
electors sent by the state to The elec-
torial college.
For a time last night II was believ-
ed here that the decision had the
effect of throwing out of the official
count the entire vote Of Los Am
gcles county which gave Roosevelt
10000 plurality, but adyiees from
the office OF the secretary of state at
Sacramento proves this theory un-
founded.
