This has constituted almost the only enIivening feature of the campaign in the southern states.
 Certainty of election is conceded to the six democratic candidates for the United States Senate from Arkansas, Florida, Mississippi, Tennessee, Texas and Vir- Sinia. Likewise, little if any opposition will be offered to 92 democratic candl- dates for Congress from the southern states, Kentucky not included. The re- pubicans contended they will elect con- gressmen from Il districts, although they now hold only five. The democrats con cede the republicans only two districts in Tennessee, and express themselves as being confident of wrestling from the re- publicans the single districts they hold in Virginia and North Carolina and from the progressives their one district in Louisiana. The republicans are hopeful of, gaining two districts in Tennessee, three in Virginia and two in North Caro- lima.

FROM KENTUCKY

Louisville. November 5.--The close of the political campaign in Kentucky found the political managers of both the great parties claiming the state by sub stantial majorities.
 The contest has been one of the hardest fought in recent years. Many speakers of national reputation have appeared in the state.
 A Wilson majority of not less than 15,OOC is claimed by the democrats, while the republicans claim a Hughes plurality of 5000 and the election of five congressman.

FROM SOUTH CAROLINA

Columbia, $. C., November 5.--Interest in election results in South Carolina has been largely increased by the appearance in various counties of state tickets bear ing the name of former Governor Cole L. Blease, defeated in the primaries, as democratic nominee for governor All other names the tickets which have been printed and distributed are those of democratic nominees. MT. Blease, how ever, has not announced himself as an independent candidate.
 Election of Governor Richard I. Man ning is conceded. The socialist party has nominated John c. Gibbs and the pro- gressives J. T. Canty. President Wilson is conceded South Carolina's electoral vote.

BOAT STANDS ON ITS HEAD

l The boat has gone forward to an angle of 36 degrees. It was as if it stood upon it's head. Its bow, indeed. rested on the bottom; its stern swung violently back and forth. I saw then what had happened.
 | The map showed a water depth of l 31 metres; the manometre showed that we had gone down 15. The stern was bound to be a considerable distance out | of the water. What a beautiful target | for the destroyer.
 AS long as the propellers raced there
 was the added danger that as the waves piled by spouts and whirls of foam would give additional evidence of our resence and our plight. It was this that Klees had realized when he stopped the engines.
 | Still, we expected at any moment | to hear and feel the crash of a pro- 1 5ectile against the stern. With this ex- | pectation we set about fighting our selves with the greater speed. The boat was perfectly intact. It had with stood the terrific blow and we went gramme.
 The after-tanlSs were flooded, and thus we came back to our proper po- position But not in a hurry. The Deutschland had buried her nose too deeply for that. But we wholly sub merged again, and by our trim tanks worried our nose free. Thereupon we began to swim upward, but with the lafter-tankS flooded it was necessary to l tSim forward so that there might be no swinging aft. But in 8 while the equilibrium of weight was re-estab- lshed again, and the Deutschland came 1 back into hand.
 ! What was it that had caused the 'bucking?" It must have been com bination of causes. Aside from the fact | that only in the most extraordinary cases is it possible to submerge against a heavy sea, it Is probable that in the haste made necessary by the appear ance of the destroyer the tanks were 1 not completely emptied of air Above all, however, 1t seems to have been the result of the opposing force of the sea against the depth rudder. l Ours was, in word, the plight of a dirigible that in landing, takes too steep a dive.

 | When I look back on it now I re- call that my first thought was for the cargo. Was it safe? It was, and 1t is curious that I should have thought of that first of all. A "big steamer" cap tain does not easily lose his second 1 nature even on a U-boat.

INTO THE FREE OCEAN

Our duty was to get to our destina- tion without our character as mer- chant ship being suspected, because in such case there would be an immense danger for us in reaching the American harbor. Then we would have a whole set of bloodhounds on our heels. And even if we were able to escape, the ef- feet of our arrival to America would be lost. And this was our ambition.
 My mind was pondering these subjects as we drew closer to the thick air. re- gions. We were therefore bucking for ward as carefully as possible. We our-

ON SURFACE IN A STORM

TO be in a storm on a U-boat is some thing entirely different from the expe- rience on any other steamer. As long as 1t is possible one must naturally keep himself on the surface in order to be able to use the powerful oil motors One must conserve the electric power in the batteries for emergencies. Without this power one would not be able to maneuver quickly enough in the face of danger
 But how is it to travel in a U-boat on the surface? It is always down to the coming tower in the water, and the waves even wash constantly over the tower. The seas continually sweep the boat from stem to stern because it is too heavy to be lifted out of them as other steamers are.
 Then, when you test what you have below you, you realize your material. The genius in constructing the boat and it's beautiful balance and grace are appre- ciated when even such a witch-pan does not prevent it from going forward and holding its steerageway. The Deutsch- land was put to it and went through the test gloriously. For many days the weather was the same. A volcano-lke storm was whipping the water and washed the boat with laundering, noun tainous seas All the matches were natu- rally battened down, and even the so well protected coming tower hatch could

 At last we are out there. happy and contented The reception of the Atlantic cannot be called cordial We undobut- edly had got accustomed to many things during the last days, but decide as far possible to save my mems nerves so that they will be able to withstand that which was about to come. l therefore selected the southerly course, hoping to find better weather, but to my regret these expectations did not come true-at least in the beginning.

 PRAISE FOR HIS SHIP
 I cannot find a more suitable time to praise our Deutschland's ably planned construction, which has produced it's wonderful seaworthiness than on the recollection of these stormy days in the Atlantic. The elements certainly did not make 1t very easy for the Deutschland to make her way to America. The high est tests were put to the machinery as well as to the hull, which had to do it's part if we were ever to reach port It is, therefore, with thankfulness now that I recall all about the shipyard and all those through whom we received a craft which did it's duty so thoroughly.
 One can eaisly show enthusiasm for beautiful ship which pleases the eye with it's graceful lines or in calm water rushes forward at full speed to the ad- Ihfration Of both seamen and landsmen. But you will first realize a ships worth when it has stood the test in the open sea. Then you will first understand it's real value. the true trustworthiness and seaworthiness, when the strength of the wind stands at "10' and one has A sea
 
 has to struggle. And this not only for a few hours but for days and weeks Then a ship truly shows what it is worth.
 Particularly is this true of a U-boat during war. merchant boat voyaging during peace time can certainly also feel the storms, but it can always seek a harbor in need or call for help in the worst case. Then it can at least wait a few days for better weather Such pos abilities are not for a U-boat in war times. Outside of the dangers of the stormy seas it must also calculate what to do on the approach of an unmerciful enemy. For him there is no harbor in distress. Then if he meets ships which would give assistance these would at the same time bring the bloodhounds of the sea on him. None is so entirely alone as he who commands a U-boat. If he can't without hesitation depend on his own ship, then he is gone. Therefore we all know for what we have to thank the German shipbuilder and Deutsch- lands designer and constructor, Chief Engineer Erbach.

The only reply that democrats In congress and ia the press have been able to make to the indictments brought against the Wilson administration by Charles F. Hughes in his the continent is that he has far proposed nothing constructive. That is not true Every arraignment by MT, Hughes of the administration has offered alternative of the evils he has attacked and those alternatives constructive MT Hughes would substitute preparedness for readiness; he would substitute real protection against industrial invasion the makeshift bar rier which the president and the democratic gress have proposed; he would substitute for weak and changing foreign policy firm and definite for eign policy that well other nations would know precisely where stand On all these points Mir Hughes has made himself well understood.
