The Election in Punta Gorda

The day was bright and beauti-
full Notwithstanding the preced-
ing warm campaign, quiet reigned
and good feeling prevailed
| The vote polled was only 240,
which was about two hundred
short of the registration. The
Democratic electors received from
| 102 to 145, the Republicans from
Al to 81 and the Socialists and
Prohibitionists / to 10.
The vote for governor was: G..
G. Allen 6, George w. Allen 46,
Sidney j. Cats 1913, w. V. Knott
53, Noel A. Mitchell 2. The Cats
vote was much less than had been
predicted while that for Knott
was a few more than was expect
ed. This result was due perhaps
to the unjustifable attack which
Rev. Cats made upon the editor
OF the Herald, some of whose
friends resented it by voting for
Mr.. Knott or not voting at all.
The editor keenly appreciates
their manifestation, but, at the
same time, cherishes no i'll will to-
wards those who voted for Rev.
Cats, for several of them have as
sured the editor that they did not
approve OF the attack made upon
him.
The rest of the Democratic vote
for those state Offices which were
not contested ran from S3 to 1873
The largest was for Attorney-Gen-
eral West, the smallest for Su-
preme Judge Taylor, which shows
the result of the fight made on the
latter.
There was no contest for any
OF the county officers; consequent
ly, all of the Democratic nominees
are elected
In this district, S. F. j. Trabue
IS elected justice of the peace and
Leslie Lewis constable.
On the proposed constitutional
amendments, the vote for the wild
ow's tax exemption was 102 yes,
~ no. for re-apportionment AZ
yes, 80 no; for the grandfather's
clause SO yes, so no.
II. A, Ware of Fort Ogden, for
member of the school hoard 0nt
lS9 votes, which was the largest
received by any county candidate.
Cyril Baldwin for collector, came
lext with vote of 168.

The early morning returns came
in slowly. Managers of both par
ties were anxiously watching Ohio
and both We're claiming victory.
AS the hours dragged on it became
more and more evident that it
would be a close election, and
there appeared possibilities that
in some places it might be neces-
cary to resort to official counts to
determine the results.
Although the metropolitan
newspapers which have support
ed Wilson conceded his defeat, the
Democratic managers insisted

Presidential Contest Close Looks Like Democratic
Victory - Complete Returns Not in From All States
Sidney Wins Vote
of the State in Gorda

At 3 O'Clock Wednesday morn
ing, both sides were claiming the
presidency. What seemed to be
almost certainty earlier in the
night that Hughes would be re
turned winner became less and
less certain as the returns were
received.
Democrats recalled the last
Cleveland election, when it took
until the following day to deter
mine the result. New York went
for Hughes, as also Pennsylvania,
and apparently Illinois and New
Jersey. Wilson carried Minneso-
ia. The Democrats for the first
time in forty years have elected
a Senator from Rhode Island.
At an early hour yesterday
morning, Democratic Chairman
Mccormick was claiming at least
26S votes for President Wilson,
and Republican Chairman Wilcox
claimed 301 for Hughes.
Each was claiming the doubtful
states. Kentucky, Kansas, Mon
tana, Nebraska and Washington
on the face of early returns were
leaning toward President Wilson,

The FRENCH are steadily winning

ed that the Germans were forced to
withdraw large forces OF men and
quantities OF munitions and artillery
to the somme front three weeks

effect on the morale of the remain

in Hungary.

BUCHAREST, Sept. 9.-Large
forces of troops have been shifted
by the Rumanian general staff to
the southeastern frontier to check
the German Bulgarian invasion.
The semi-official announcement
which said that important forces
are now cooperating with the Rus
slams in the Dodrudja region. added
that further retirement may be
necessary because Dodrudja is hard
to defend and because the enemy has
concentrated great forces in that re-
gion. The surrender of Tutrakan
occurred after four days of herioc
resistance.
The Rumanians were outnumber-
ed four to one, according to dis
patches from Oltenitza, across the
river from the captured city.
The people in Bucharest received
the news of the fall of Tutrakan
with calmness. They regard 1t as
insignificant in comparison with the
Rumanian successes on the Hunga-
rian frontier. In the DodrudJa re-
gion the fighting is taking on the
aspect of a general engagement
along a front of nearly one hundred
miles. The enemy is pushing east
ward in an attempt to flank the Ru-
manian and Russians in the south
eastern corner of Rumania and force
their retirement behind the Dan
ube.
The Rumanians and Russians have
advanced on Pennsylvania territory
three days in which the Austrian
resistance has been overcome. The
Rumanian advance guard has push
ed thirty miles into the Hungarian
province.
