Turkeys Program.
An attempt to invade the Caucasus
on one side and Egypt on the other
is the program military men think
the Turkish army is likely to under
take. Turkish forces have been
gathering recently in Syria and Pal
estine, but a march across the Sinai
peninsula will be hard one because
the country virtually is a desert.
The English papers are confident
that the protection of the Suez Canal
against raid and of Egypt against
invasion are we'll provided for, but
they recognize that the addition ~of
Turkey to the beligerent forces prob
ably will prolong the war and in
crease its horrors. They say that
this means Great Britain must raise
more men.
Italy Still Hesitates.
How long Italy can remain aloof
is another question that is being ask

The Portuguese government de-
scribes the German invasion of An

desperate attempt to gain Calais and
command the English Channel has
failed for the present. The flooding
of the valley of the User canal, to-
gether with the work of the British

compelled the Germans to withdraw
somewhat, while the British and
French are said to have been able
to advance further into the interior.

Following is the vote:

New Orleans, Nov. 5-The Progress
sives carried the Third Congressional
| District in Tuesdays election by g
majority of 1913, electing Judge w.
Pugh Martin of Thibodaux to succeed
Robert F. Broussard in the national
House of Representatives.
Henri L. Gueydan, Judge Martins
Democratic opponent, carried only
three parishes of the eight In the dis
trict. His home parish, Vermiliion,
gave him majority of 1T. Lafayette
q majority of 218 and st. Martin a
lead of four votes. st. Martin parish
! furnished the closest contest In the
district. The parish polled $50 votes,
496 Of which were cast for Judge
Martin. The parish was in doubt,
and claimed by both Progressives and
Democrats until late Wednesday
night.
Judge Martin scored his big gain
in Lafourche parish, which gave him
1915 of 1906 votes. Terrebonne
ranked second with a majority of
405, st. Mary third with 318, iberia
next with 281 and finally Assumption
with 2O9.
The total vote Of the district Tues
day amounted to 1920, of which
5S99 were polled by the Progressives
and Judge Martin. The break in the
solid Louisiana Democracy was her.
aided with much enthusiasm through
out the district, which had remained
safely Democratic since 1884, when
a Republican was sent to Congress.
At Thibodaux last night there was
general foregathering of the Progress
sives Of the Third District at love
feast, at which their victory was the
sole topic of conversation.
Washington, Nov. 5-Many changes
in the organization Of the National
House of Representatives will be
made when Champ Clark and Uncle
Joe" Cannon once more face each
other across the center aisle at the
beginning Of the next Congress. The
dwindling Of the Democratic MAORI
ty, which will drop after the close
OF the December session from 40 to
%, will necessitate a general shifting
of the working order in the House.
With their slender majority the |
Democrats. while able to re-elect |
Speaker Clark and retain control of
the committees, will be forced to
maintain an almost perfect organi- |
zation. Even with a full attendance
in the House, shift OF twelve votes
would throw the control to the mi
nority side. Practically complete re-
turns tonight gave the Democrats
229, Republicans 1876, Progressives
I, Socialists I. Independents /. doubt
tul l.
The narrow Democratic margin
will result in q rearrange-
nent of committee representation,
he Democrats now holding over
majorities in all Of the
committees. The falling OF
Il the Progressives from nineteen in
he present House to eight probably
will cut down their committee repre-
entation materially, and even may
ose them the few important places
hey hold ii the present House.

Ripley County democrat. (Doniphan, Mo.) 1905-1920, 1914-10-02

OF decent people. II this law be
adopted, the political junta (re-
gardless of party) having control
of the police and excise would
dictate the election results in
this state. Where police and
excise are in control of men ap-
pointed by liquor interests and
ward politicians, elections reek
with fraud, ballot boxes are stuff
cd, and majorities rolled up as
dictated by corrupt o ffi C srs.
Wherever vice and crime have
political power, not only the good
name but property values Of the
state suffer.
Regardless Of party. this meas
ure should be defeated. The
people of the state will no longer
tolerate the political cliques that
control state nominations. Re-
pnblicans don't want corrupt
cliques to control state nominal
tions, nor do Democrats, Prog
ressives or Socialists. The
patriotic voter Of every party in
the interest Of fairness, honesty,
and decency should defeat this
proposition. as well as pr oposi-
ton No. II.

OPPOSING ARGUMENT

The opponents of Proposition
No. II give t. e following reasons
why it should be voted down:
All voters who have an inter.
est in their homes, in the protec-
ton Of their property, in just dis
tribution Of taxes and in the
good name of Missouri, should
see that this law is defeated. II
is most vicious. Its approval
would mean the enthroncment oi
vice. Its adoption would make
it unsafe for ours and daugh.
ters to visit st. Louis. Peanut
politicians controlling ward poll
tics would have absolute sway in
the appointment and discharge
Of the police forces. An honest
policeman that would report a
vicious den would Immediately
be discharged, Under this law
the ward boss would run his
gambling games. and open Sun
day saloons whenever and wher-
ever he pleased, Conditions
would be stencil in the nostril,

Under the new election law the
old form Of the blanket ballot will
be used. There are six tickets tu
be voted on this fall and allowing
the proper space between each
ticket, the ballot TO be voted Oh
will be larger than single page
of THE DEMOCRAT.
1t will be necessary for the
printer who prints the tickets To
stop his press six times and make
up his forms as the law provides
that the tickets must alternate in
their positions on the ballots
equally, that is to say, the Dem
ocratic ticket cannot have first
position ON all the ballots, hut
only on one-sixth of them. Un-
der the primary law in Missouri
ticket may be scratched but a
name cannot be written frop1 one
ticket to another as this would
make mutilated ballot, but un-
der the general election laws in
which the blanket ballot may be
used, a voter may scratch any
name on the ticket he is voting
and write in any name he choos-
es. Voters are advised that il
they intend to vote the Demo-
cratic ticket thy must draw a
heavy line through the five other
tickets on the ballot, il this is moi
done no ballot has been cast and
| il viii be thrown out and moi
counted. Under the old Austria :
Ian system, once in vogue in
Missouri, many voters made the
mistake, when they intended to
vote the straight Democratic
ticket OF simply folding the bal.
lot and handing Il to The count.

in November and he sure and
draw a heavy line through In,
lother tickets,
Ripley County democrat. (Doniphan, Mo.) 1905-1920, 1914-10-02
OPPOSING ARGUMENT

The opponents of Proposition
No. II give the following reasons
why the measure should be voted
down;
Voters Of all parties should
vote mo" on Proposition No. ii
This is a vicious measure. 1t
would result in a large increase
Of taxes and destroy the efficien- :
cy Of our state government. The
laws enforced by the Excise
Commissioner are state not city
laws. The experiment in other
states of such so-called fake
home rule measures has invaria :
bly, worked disaster 70 the state.
The proposed law is not in har.
mony with the platform OF any
political party. It is a bogus
measure fostered by interests
that have determined to place a
burden upon the state which is
now borne, as it should be, by
st, Louis.
This law would build a hu.
reancracy in st. Louis which
would compel nominees Of all
parties 10 bow down before il
Ripley County democrat. (Doniphan, Mo.) 1905-1920, 1914-10-02

Those desiring nomination would
have to treat with powers con-
trolled by powerful brewery and
liquor interests. A conspicuous
example of the effect of such
laws may be seen in East st.
Louis, Illinois. As a result, that
city is practically bankrupt, i'm
provement bonds repudiated and
a large number OF city officials
under indictment.
In conjunction with this meas
ure is another vicious law known
as Proposition No. IL, the home
rule police law. This means
placing in the hands Of a brew.
ery-made mayor the entire police
system, whose support would
strengthen the political junts
that would thus be enabled ia
dictate to Missouri the nominees
and choice of all state officers.
Vote "No" against both these
measures. They are unwise,
unfit and would prove a disaster
to the State of Missouri.
Ripley County democrat. (Doniphan, Mo.) 1905-1920, 1914-10-02

Those favoring Proposition
No. II give the following reasons
why the measure should be
! adopted:
What would the voters in the
ia counties Of Missouri think if
the Legislature of the State were
to pass law giving the Cover
nor power Of appointment of the
sheriff of each county, all of his
deputies, every constable and the
city marshal of each town? 1t is
needless to say the people as a
whole would rise up against such
an imposition of power. Natu-
rally they would resent it and
yet this is precisely what is done
in the selection of police officials
for St. Louis. Ii state supervis-
ion is wrong for the people in the
counties of Missouri. it 10 wrong
in the City of st. Louis. That is
why voters in the state at large
should assist st. Louis in secur-
ing home rule. This is an anal
ogeus comparison because the
police in the city bear the same
relation to the people there that
the sheriff, his deputies and town
marshal bear to the people in the
country and smaller towns. They
are the police power in their
communities.
Every citizen should vote to
adopt the bills passed by the last
Legislature, and which have
been referred to the peop e
through the referendum. Home rule
in governing the st. Louis police
department is just as dear to the
taxpayers in that city as it would
be to the voters of each county if
