tCah.,uL' ! from page L.
J.w. W.sbarsham, delegate, ha.
boon reelected from Alaska.
Republican candidates for govern
or and senator in Nevada are leading
by about 200 votes.
Governor Morehead CDem.D, hos
been reelected in Nebraska With
three Democratic congressman and
three Republican.
Johnson VIM in California.
Scattered returns from all parts Of
the state indicate that Governor Hi
ram Johnson, Progressive, has won
reelection by plurality that ap-
proaches landslide proportions over
Capt. John d. Frodericks, Republi-
can, with the Democratic candidate,
John b. Curtin, a third.
The vote for United States senator
is so close between James D. Phelan,
Democrat, and Joseph r. Knowland,
Republican, as to make a forecast OF
the final result, a mere hazard. On
the face Of early returns, Francis J.
Heney, the Progressive candidate,
was a tagging third, but the later
count gives Phelan strong lead and
the Democrats are sure of his cleo
ton.
The state appears to have gone
"wet" by two to one.
Whitman Carries New York.
District Attorney Charles S. Whit
man, Republican, has been elected
governor of New York by an estimat-
ed plurality of 100000 over Martin
H. Glynn, Democrat, the incumbent.
William Sulzer, who was impeach
cd and removed from office in the
fall of 1913, running on the Prohi-
bition and American tickets, finished
third, polling, it appears on the face
of incomplete returns, slightly more
than 100000 votes. Frederick NJ.
Davenport, Progressive, ran fourth
with approximately $4,000 votes.
James w. Wadsworth, Republican,
appears to have defeated James W.
Gerard, Democrat, for the United
States senatorship by about $4,000,
cambridge Colby, Progressive, was
third with a vote that probably Will
not reach $4,000.
Suffers comment on the election
was: "The verdict of the people
speaks for itself. Without money,
without newspaper support and with
out organization have elected Whit
man, beaten Glynn and made Roose-
welt look like 80 cents"
Democrat is Bay State Governor.
Governor David I. Walsh, Demo-
crat, is leading according to returns
from upwards of three-fourths of the
state in the election, but it was dn-
certain whether the Democrats Had
been able to again secure the other
places on the state ticket. Congress
sional figures were slow in coming In.
though returns indicate little change
in the complexion Of the Massachu-
sets delegation.
Iowa Returns Cummins.
Indications point positively to the
reelection of Senator Albert B. Cum
Minis. Republican, by plurality es-
timated at $4,000 over Maurice Con-
molly, Democrat. and Casper Schenk,
Progressive.
In the governorship race Clark, Re-
publican, has q lead of slightly over
1000 votes on John T. Hamilton, the
Democratic candidate. 1t Is esti-
mated that Clarke's plurality would
be close to $1,000, while 1t is practi-
cally certain that Republican candi-
dates for congress have been elected
in all but two of the Iowa districts.

When They Invade Explorers Camp In

Ienoe Them-Natives Spend Very

Minneapolis, Minn.-Members Of the
senior class in geology at the Univer'
sity of Minnesota listened to an i'm.
promptu lecture recently in which they
heard one of their former classmates
tell how it felt to have panthers.
tigers, monkeys and other lords of the
Venezuelan jungles drop into camp for
lunch without notice, to be greeted by
people who beat the high cost OF l1v-
ing by cutting out clothes and are
armed to the teeth with rifles and re-
volvers when going out to see the
country. The talk was given by J. w.
Lewis, graduate of the school Of mines
in the class of 1912, who was asked by
DR.. w. H. Emmons, head of the geol'
ogy department, to talk to the class
about his South American experience
i hadn't been in the country more
than half an hour" said Mr.. Lewis,
when l was forced to the unpleasant
expedient Of lodging bullets. We had
just landed and / was opening my
trunk in the custom house when I
heard shots in the hall and saw two
men busily shooting each other up.
Il didn't know whether to jump into
my trunk or out of a window at first.
But the trunk didn't look bullet-proof.
and the window l couldn't reach, so
resorted to the leeward side of post
Luckily a troop Of native police ar
rived on the scene in time to save the
lives of all concerned"
Mr.. Lewis said he is in the employ
Of an American company that Is ex-
ploring the country to locate the areas
where oil may be produced on a COM
mercial scale. Some oil wells have al
ready been dug he said, but no oil has
been produced for shipment yet. In
dications are, he said, that the country
will in short time be one of the
great oil-producing areas Of the world.
"The people" said Mr.. Lewis. ARE
mixture of Spanish, negro and In
dian. In the part of the country where
we were the natives had never seen
white men. They were amused at our
appearance, which, no doubt, seemed
crude to them, but treated US with the
kindest consideration. When we
went out into the jungles we were al
ways armed with rifles and revolvers
to protect ourselves from the cannt
balls and the wild animals that fire.
Quent those places.
Painters, tigers, lions, monkeys
and other jungle jewellers are plenti-
full / remember one night panther

ing on for a feast / heard the noise,
but | didn't bother to question Mr..
Panther's right to anything we had in
stock"
Mr.. Lewis said the natives don't run
very strong toward style shows. As a
matter of fact, one Of the ingenious
methods they made use of to cut down
the high cost Of living is to cut out
the clothes. A hat and a breechcloth
is all they need.
Mr.. Lewis said the aigrette which Is
priced so highly by the women in civ
ilized countries is common there. He
said he shot many of the birds. Dur
ing his travels through the country
Mr.. Lewis said he saw the Oldest
church on the American continent. II
was built in 1910 at Coro. Venezulea.
and is in an excellent state OF preser-
walton.
Mr.. Lewis told his colleagues he In

that he likes the life there He has

" lived in Minneapolis, but who are
now at Los Angeles. After a few DAYS
in Minneapolis he will leave for New
York. thence he will sail for vene.

HAD SOMETHING LEFT OVER
Senator Was Wondering Just How He
Would Employ the Remnant Of
His Salary Left.

Senator John X. Shields Of Tonnes
see is a homelover and likes his own
fireside better than the gilded glories
of a gaudy hostelry. On his big planta-
ton out In his state he has large,
colonial mansion surrounded by sew
eral hundred acres of fine land on
which he pastures cattle, ponies and
goats.
But when he came to the capital
and sought to get house suitable for
his lares and penates, he found 1t a
difficult task. An energetic real es-
tate agent motored him and his wife
from one house to another, each time
the price rising skyward for the rent
Now, the senator receives $1,000 a
year, and If he pays out much for rent
he will have to be pretty economical
in his food and clothing.
So he and Mrs. Shields tramped
over houses of all kinds for days. At
last the agent got them cornered in
lovely mansion big enough to house a
regiment and ornate enough to suit
the Shah of Persia He took them
over it from top to bottom and at last
stood up before them in the handsome
library.
What is the rent?" asked the sena-
tor, who was nightly pleased with the
place.
Very reasonable" replied the agent
only $500 a year."
Senator Shields went over to win
