Most of this loss falls on the south,
 The plan, proposed at the annual meet ing of the national committee in Wash ington last December, has been made ef- fective, MT.

Every state convention held since last December except Texas gave it's assent. The states which adopt ed it cast 200 of the total of 5sl votes in the electoral college. They are Arkan- sas, California; Colorado, Connecticut, Idaho. Illinois, Indiana. Maine Massachu sctts, Michigan, Missouri. New Jersey, New York, North Carolina. Ohio.

FRENCH GOVERNMENT MAY BE RETURNED TO PARIS FROMBORDEAUX
Germans Reported to Have Changed Route of Ad- vance Further Inland. Battle Continues

Paris, October 25.-The success of uhe allies in repulsing the. furious at- tacks of the Germans, as indicated in Saturdays official statement en- ccuraged thet French public. The ! Germans, however, in mighty ef- fort to gain victory, continue rush. ing up all the achievements that gan be spared.
 Many of the German soldiers at Dix nude have come from Berlin within the last few days. Arriving at the scene of battle they have been sent at once into trenches waist high with water
 Belgians approached the trenches under cover of fog. and at the point of the tayonet cautpred a large number of Ger mans. At the same time the contest was resumed at numerous other points but the result was different and the cas- ualty lists were large. The fact that the allies have advanced appreciably east of Nfeuport has helped to reassure them. since in this vicinity the British naval guns hardly could continue to exercise an influence in gaining ground The slight retrogression at other points was con sidered as inevitable in a great conflict of this kind, aid apparently did not cause the slightest Encouragement.
 Strategic Importance
 The strategic consequence of this battle of the north. it is felt in some quarters, will be greater to the Germans than to the allies. If it should be necessary for the latter to withdraw. S would be upon normal lines and without risk, it is de- clared
 flfty per cent of the troops on the right wing have not had their baptism Of fire, according to reports here. General Joffre Is said to be sparer of men, by necessity perhaps. but especially on &C., count of humanity
 The question of the return of the gov ernment to Paris from Bordeaux. in view or the necessity of voting emergency bills and credits. is geing discussed It is sug- sested that after the deputies have tn- ished sitting here they should go back to Bordeaux.
