RloUs STATES FOUGHT ON
THAT BASIS

Washington, Nov. 2.-The political
campaigns throughout the country
which end today, are remarkable in
that they are being waged mainly on
rational issues. Matters of local con
Germ are involved in some of the
states, but as a general rule these
|lave been subordinated to the sup
port and opposition of the present
administration.
Aside from Pennsylvania and Hi.
nois, and possibly Ohio, where intense
political activity and interest is man
ifested, there is an apathy among the
ycters which makes it difficult to pre-
dict the result.
For the first time in many year:
The democratic party is able to point
with pride to a record of achieve
raent in national affairs. They are
asking the voters tomorrow to give a
vote Of confidence in President VIII
son, pointing to the legislative enact
ments and the evasion of trouble in
Mexico. The republicans admit the
popularity Of Wilson, but have made
a good campaign from the material
of the Underwood tariff and the en-
efgency tax, which they have charged
las an effect of the tariff rather han
|of the European war. The extrsvag-
ance Of the present administration has
made a telling argument for the re-
publicans, also.

Rats in sarawak

Rats in Sarawak
A great many stories might be re-
! lated of rats, but the most extraordin-
ary thing l ever saw regarding these
animals was migration which took
place on evening at dusk through
my bedroom, writes the Rance OF
Sarawak, in the November Wide
World Magazine. | was just getting
better from a severe attack of NAL
aria, and was lying on the bed inside
my mosquito house, half awake and
half asleep, with my Malay ayah sit
ting against the wall in corner Sud
denly l saw two or three long objects
moving across the middle of the room
their black bodies standing out
against the pale yellow mating. My
room opened on to verandas from all
sldes-as everyone who is acquainted
with the architecture of tropical
houses will Understandable it was
easy for any animal to climb over the
outer veranda and pass through the
screened doors leading to the oppo-
site veranda. | watched these crawl
ing creatures, and, being only half
awake, wondered what they were. At
first thought it was the result of NAL
aria, making me see things which did
rot exist but when the rats were
joined by others, coming in at one
deor and going out of the other in
tens, twenties, sixtiets, and finally
hundreds, for the floor was one mass
of moving objects, called to the ayah
who sat motionless.
Don't move she said; they are
the rats l was too frightened not
to move, and screamed cut to the
Rajah, who / knew was in the room
next to mine. AS he came in the
Traits ran up one side of him, and
remember the dull thud they made as
they jumped off his shoulder to the
floor. Some men, hearing my screams,
also appeared. The rajah told me to
make as little noise as possible, so
had to remain still while thousands
land thousands of rats passed through
my room. This abnormal invasion
lasted for about 10 or is minutes,
when the rodents began to diminish
in number until there were only a
few stTagglers left to follow the main
body.
1t appears that such migrations are
well known all over Sarawak, and the
people fear them because they are
accompanied by certain amount of
danger. It is said by the natives that
if anyone should kill one Of these rats
Ihis companions would attack the ag
Ig-essor in such large numbers that
his body would be almost torn to
pieces. Looking deeper into the mat
ter one wonders why these creatures
should so migrate, and where they go:
this no enc seems TO know. Their
area of operations is a restricted one.
for it appears that on this occasion
my bedroom was the only human habi-
tation through which they went.
