MUTT and Jeff is now the talk of
the entire theatrical world and his

BULL MOOSE LOSE IN
ALMOST EVERY STATE

Washington, Nov. SELECTION
returns show that the Progressive
vote dropped in practically every
state from its strength Of two years
ago. This was pointed out today as
being shown In number OF states
by the election of former Repubii-
can members of congress who were
defeated previously because of the
large Progressive vote. Such men
include Cannon and Mckinley IN
Illinois, Longworth in Ohio and
Hill in Connecticut. According to
tcday's returns the Progressives
showed most strength in Kansas
and California. In Pennsylvania and
Illinois the vote did not come up
to predictions. There was a general
sentiment among Democratic lead
ers who have previously counted on
the Progressive vote to pay little
attention to it in the future and
to carry out an out and out fight on
the Republicans.

Senatorial Race still In Doubt, Both
Claiming victOry-Calderhead
Gtin Has Slight Chance
IN Fifth

Topeka, Nov. 6.-Arthur Cap
per's plurality for governor will
reach $4,000. according to the be-
lated returns still struggling in thii
morning. His nearest competition
was Governor Hodges. Henry ]. Al.
len, Progressive. ran q poor third
Capper carried between eighty and
ninety counties. Hodges carried the
rest, with the possible exception of
Wyandotte, which may go to Allen.
The Bull Moosers made sorry
showing. They did not even get
enough votes to endanger the Re-
publicans.
Senator Curtis plurality was
about 1000. according to the latest
available returns. His own figures
showed that he would have from
10, 900 to 1900 but the Republican
state committee figures show that
he has been elected By from $500
to 1000. Neeley is still claiming
victory. He insists he will have 5000
plurality, but his inside figures
only give him 1000 and they con-
tain estimates in several counties
that the Republicans say are too
high.
One OF the tragedies Of the cleo
tion in Kansas is that while the
state gave the Republican candidate
for governor $4,000 plurality and
the rest of the state ticket perhaps
$4,000, and elected Republican
United States senator, the Republic
cans did not gain single congress
man.
The politicians are baffled over
the matter. They cannot understand
yet why in the landslide at least
six Republican congressman were
not elected. AS 1t is. the delegation
will stand SIX Democrats and two
Republicans. There Is q slight show
for Calderhead In the Fifth and
Simmons in the Seventh, but 1t IL
very slight. 90 much so that Chair
man Gaftord has given up hope.
The Republicans are claiming the
lower branch. of the legislature. The
Democrats have the senate. as It IL
composed Of holdovers. No state
senators were elected this year.
Returns on the ncn-partisan ju-
dicial ticket are very meager. but
they indicate the election Of Daw-
SON and Little as two Of the judges
OF the supreme court. The race
for the third place on the supreme
bench is between Marshall and Ma
SON, with chances about even.
