the liquor people 10 secure the adop-

their prohibitory laws
Thus - states out of 4S-one- half
of the states of the Union-have now
declared for statewide prohibition,
ana over 60 per cent
Farm Vote the Factor.
There are several great outstanding
| facts concerning the result of the cleo
ton, one Of which is that labor, in all
the big industrial states except Ohio,
| declined to give its undivided support
| to President Wilson despite his claim
to It on the score of having persuaded
| congress to pass the AdamsOn eight
hour" bin. New York, PENNSYLVANIA,
Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, In
diana, all gave the Republican candi-
| date plurnlitieS, and OhiO's vote In ia
vor of Wilson Is not certainly to be at
! tributcd to the labor vote.
Another interesting development was
the Independence Of the West, which is
| asserting that it elected Il president
without the aid of New York and Penn
syyanla and other big western and
central states. When it was found.
! early in the evening of election day,
/ that the empire state had gone for
! Hughes, the newspapers of the metrop-
! oils, even those that had supported
Wilson, conceded the victory to the
! Republicans, without waiting TO hear
I from the middle West. When the re-
turns came in from these regions, ii
was found that the farmer and stock
] raiser had decided the election.
Yet another fact that calls for com.
! ment IS that Governor johnson of Cal
! iforaia, running on the Republican and
! Progrcssiy" tickets, has been elected To
| the United States senate by something
like 10000 plurality, and yet the state
went Democratic on the presidency.

Democrats could claim was plurality
Of four votes in the house.
Upon the basis Of revised returns

ed one Independent, one Socialist one
