Gus is England's watch upon personal
letters bound this way from countries
NOT engaged in hostilities.
This meddling is about to be
stopped! 1t has become uncomfortable
From a news source that on several
occasions has given to me the right
cite many days in advance of official
announcement, hear from Washing
ton that the proposition to send batch
of mail to Holland and Denmark
aboard United States cruiser is hav,
ing serious Cabinet consideration!
No issue will be raised regarding the
opening of letters to France or Great
Britain, although such mail ought to
lie as sacred as any other; but proper
respect for letters to Scandinavia and
Holland must be enforced.
Recent evidence has come into the
hands of the Department of Justice
proving that perfectly innocent social
letters have been delayed one to two
months at Kirkwall, merely because
the censor couldn't understand some
references therein"
This is intolerable.

but the situation threatens to become
so unusual that opposition should nc

Republican Claims Disputed.

New York-Senator Willard Sauls- bury, chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, gave out the following statement:
 ''The Republicans claim that they will control the United States Senate is absurd. The returns received by us indicate the loss of only two Democratic senators and a gain Of four. This does not include the Dem oeratic senator in Indiana, where the result is still in doubt"
 Democratic party leaders insist that control of the house had not been lost and that the Senate certainly would remain Democratic. Republican lead CTS, however, were claiming the house and still hopeful of victory in the Senate.
Judsonia weekly advance., 1916-11-08
Oregon.

Hampshire, New Mexico, Oregon, Washington, Virginia-81.
 The chairmen of both parties claim ed the states, and the advantages seem to be in favor of the Republi- cans in the state of Indiana, Mime sota, Oregon and West Virginia, al though at times Wilson assumed the lead in some of these. In the other states listed as doubtful the Democrats had the advantage, Caiifornia's 13 votes being especially favorable to the Democratic calculators. The vote in Indiana was very close, Oregon, Idaho, Washington and New Mexico were at times reported 60 have Wilson major tiles, and New Hampshire came to the front with slight lead for the Demo cratic ticket
 In view of these conditions and in- dieations, Chairman Mccormick conf dently asserted that Wilson would have a total of BOA votes in the cleo toral college. He asserted that the victory is emphasized by the reluc- tance of the enemy to admit defeat, and is a complete repudiation of the unfounded claims sent over the eoun- try by the Republican National Com mittee."
 The Republicans have not, on the face of the returns, overcome the Democratic majority in Congress. With about 100 congressional districts still to be heard from, the Republicans had made a net gain of eight members in the house, but late returns from New York indicated that two of these might be reversed.
 vSiT e fset ssssiii ss sss eias11sat s;t -z-all3 leave the house with a Democratic majority of seven.
 In the Senate the Democrats show ed losses from New York, New Jer- sey and Maryland. The indications were they would lose the two sena- tors from Indiana, one from West Vir- ginia, and possibly one each in Ohio, Montana and Arizona. The Demo crats, however, gained three senators from Rhode Island, Delaware and Utah. Conceding all probable Repub- lican gains would give net Rapubli- can gain of seven in the Senate and leave the Democratic majority at two.

New York.-In one of the closest presidential elections that has been held in the United States in years, Woodrow Wilson has a strong lead over Chas. D. Hughes, with a number of doubtful states which are being claimed by the ehairmen of both par ties.
 The early returns indicated a trend toward the Republican candidate. but these came chiefly from the Northern and Eastern states, which were gen- erally conceded to Hughes. As the returns began to drift in, however, from the Western and Southern
Judsonia weekly advance., 1916-11-08

states, the Democratic strongholds, ful states began to swing into the Democratic column. The larger num- Der of Wilson states overcame the advantages gained by Hughes and Fairbanks in New York, PennsyIva- mia, Iowa, Illinois, Massachusetts and Michigan with their heavy electoral vote The South remained solidly Democratic by increased majorities, and the North was invaded for Ohio-s 24 electoral votes for the Wilson Mar shall ticket.
 National Chairman Vance McCor- mick early issued statements, in the face of positive declarations of vic tory by the Republican chairman, de- claring that the Democratic ticket had won, and urging the party leaders to "sit tight" President Wilson has been reelected" said he. Our oppo- nents are desperate. Let us person. ally see that the ballot boxes are guarded and nothing left undone to safeguard the victory.
 The following states were claimed as certainly for Wilson: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida. Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mary land, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vir- ginia and Wyoming
 The following were claimed as Hughes certainties: Connecticut, Del aware, Illinois, Iowa, Maine, Massa- chusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Vermont and Wiscon- sin-215
 The following states, where the vote is very close, in some instances SC close that it may require the official count to determine the result, were placed in the doubtful column: Cali fornia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, New

Results in South Dakota.

Sioux Falls, s. D.-South Dakota gave it's five electoral votes to Hughes, adopted statewide prohibition, gave women the franchise, elected two, and possibly three, Republican con gressmen, and full Republican state ticket. Hughes won by not less than 12,000 plurality. Peter Nordick, Re publican candidate for governor, will have more than 25,000 majority Pro hibition was adopted by probably 25,- 900 and equal suffrage by 10000
