HUGHES ISN'T SAYING
No Comments Until He Knows Out
come for Certain.

New York, Nov. 8.-Charles E.
Hughes awoke at s o'clock this morn
ing after sleeping nearly seven hours,
and a minute later was reading the
newspapers and latest election dis
patches from doubtful states Chair
man Wilcox communicated with the
nominee and declared belated reports
were reassuring.
Mr.. Hughes adhered to his deter
mination of last night to make no
comment and Issue ! o statement until
the result was beyond doubt. He
breakfasted with Mrs. Hughes and
their three daughters. Newspapers
were propped up in frcnt of them all
and the meal was frequently inter
rupted to read the latest reports from
doubtful states
Mr.. Hughes wss especially interest
ed in returns from California, Mime
sofa, Nebraska and Missouri. Early
advices to the nominee from party
leaders we're that tire two last named
states were in doubt with a steady Re-
publican trend as returns came slowly
in.

Stewart 1--WE saved Arkansas to the
array of nineteen dry states with
which we entered the campaign. The
election of Bamberger as governor of
Utah, a Democrat favoring prohibi-

pleased at the victory for womans

means that the election of officials

LAS to the national campaign our

Noted Authority Tells What Causes

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by
flushing the kidneys occasionally, says
a we'll known authority. Meat forms

The moment you feel a dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts, or if
the urine is cloudy, offensive. full of
sediment, irregular of passage or at

about four ounces of Jad Salts from
any reliable pharmacy and take

your kidneys will then act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid
of grapes and lemon juice, combined

generations to flush clogged kidneys

He DESERTED SHIP
Capper Betrayed Republican
Party, Says Robert Stone.
First Shot in Fight on Gov
ernOr for u. S. Senator.
POLITICAL TREACHERY HE SAYS
Capper Refused to Aid Any
Candidate in Race.
Why Did Capper Get 100000
and Hughes Lose State?

Governor Capper IS the captain who
deserted the ship. He is responsible
for the loss of Kansas to Wilson. For
his betrayal, he will suffer. This is
the statement which Robert Stone,
speaker of the house of representa-
tives, made today when returns gave
Kansas 20 Wilson. Stones statement
is scarcely a veiled threat of the fight
which is to be made on Governor Cap
per in event he is a senatorial candi-
date in 1918.
Before all of the votes are can
vassed. Stone has opened the way for
the big row in Kansas politics two
years hence In a most cutting state
ment the Topeka lawyer today charg-
ed the governor with party treachery
in order to win votes for himself He
flatly charges the governor with re-
fusal to aid any candidate or to talk
national issues in the campaign. Now
Stcne points to the fact that the gov
ernor is safe and Kansas is nationally
in the Democrat column
The sensational Stone statement to-
day is almost a direct result of the To-
peka lawyers recent fight for re-elec-
ton, which he won. Stone was the
victim of a bitter fight in the cam
paign because of his associations as an
attorney for the Kansas Natural Gas
company. Governor Capper's cam
paign speeches regarding the gas re-
against Stone. 1t is because of this
fact and the returns indicating a Kan
sas electoral vote for Wilson that
Stone made his statement.
At the Governors Door.
Following reports from over the
state to the effect that Kansas has
given Governor Capper more than
100000 plurality and beaten Hughes
for president by 5000, Stone picks up
the burden and deposits it at the gov
ernor's door. The responsibility for a
landslide to Wilson is placed on the
governors shoulders in Stones state
ment. Selfish refusal to aid any one
except himself is the charge which
Stone makes in his statement.
THE captain of a ship who, in the
face of danger. deserts his vessel and
leaves his crew and passengers in the
lurch, may save his own skin, but he
spends his remaining days in dis
grace" is the sarcastic reference
which Stone makes to the governors S
attitude in the recent campaign. And
that statement Stone permits to stand
as affecting the presidential contest,
the congressional contests and his own
fight.
IF Hughes has lost Kansas con-
tinues Stone, ''it is because our trusted

Female Ballots Gave Kansas

Big a Surprise to Democrats as
Jolt to Republicans.
THEY WERE GIVEN SUFFRAGE
g. o. p. Followers Presented
EOmen With Their Rights.
And Women Thereby Returned
S Vote to the BOurbOns.

It was a Republican legislature that
gave Kansas women the suffrage
amendment. This week it was the vote
of Kansas women-their first vote for
president-that gave Kansas to Wilson
and the Democrats. 1t was the quiet,
unannounced woman vote on the
farms and in the big towns that cared
nothing for party lines and traditions
regularity that gave Kansas to Wilson
in n landslide that surprised the DEM
ocfats almost as much as it shocked
and jolted the Republicans.

passage of the suffrage amendment.

No Doubt About 1t.
There wasn't a question of a doubt
that the women worked and voted as
their husbands desired. They figured
it All out for Won They explained that
meek and timid and retiring woman
would consult her husband or brother
rtfather-who knew all about such
thihgs-and gather an idea as to just
how to vote. Careful figuring-by
the politicians-showed that 95 per
cent of the women would do that very
thing. The remaining five per cent
was a general estimate of old maids,
decrepits and generally unreasonable
people who probably wouldn't go to
the polls anyway.

In 1914 Kansas women cast their
first vote-and helped elect six Demo-
crat congressman from a possible
eight. This year they registered their
first vote for president. A special
Pullman train carrying distinguished d
eastern women had visited the state
and urged Kansas women to come to
their rescue for national suffrage and
vote for Hughes. The state commit
tee had sent the women voters tons
of iterature-postage and express
prepaid-and had provided all manner
of reasons why they should offer daily
thanksgiving for the privilege of living
in Kansas-and voting the Republi-
can ticket. Maybe the women read
the literature. Maybe they didn't.
One thing is sure. They upset even
the extravagant claims of the Demo-
Gratis and put the state in the Bourbon

'Nelusco & Hurley" who have an alto

its kind. These two especially good
looking people do not need to exert
themselves to make the audience sit

novelty of their own, which in itself
makes big hit at every performance.
