was to be overcome, and the election

the election yesterday was a great vic
tory for the republican party. Late
reports by. telephone to this Office are
to the effect that it is a close race be-
tween Wilson and Hughes. but Hughes
sleading with one electoral vote over
his opponent. 1t is conceded that
Hughes now has 252 electoral votes
while Wilson has 251.. The states of

doubtful. All that Hughes needs is

Hughes lead Wilson in New York
state with plurality of 65,152, al
though he lost New York City, but the
upstate vote was strong enough to ov-
ercome this setback. Pennsylvania,
New Jersey, Maine, Massachusetts, and
in fact all of the New England states
were carried by Hughes.
The Result in khe State.
Here in Iowa the usual republican
majority was rolled up, which Is esti-
mated this afternoon at better than

Couldn't Understand Why Whitted Looked
 at Phillies Each Day

When the Phillies were in New York, George Whitted was at the cigar stand in his hotel, and Alexan- der the Great was standing ten feet away being interviewed by some New York newspaper men.
 A stranger came up and bought a cigar. Slowly lighting it, he turned to Whitted,
 That's Alexander over there. isn't it?" he asked
 "Yes. that's the fellow" was Whit ted's answer.
 Ever see him pitch?"
 Sure did"
 He's a great pitcher"
 Now. you've said it."
 The Phils have good team, haven't they?"
 Best in the world"
 ''It must be your favorite team |" 'Tt certainly is.''
 Do you see them play often?"
 Haven't missed a game this year."
 You don't mean to say that you actually go from city to city to watch the Phillies?"
 Its absolutely true, I do it."

 The priest studied six years at Innsbruck, University of Germany. prepared for ordination at the Ameri- can College in Rome, and was ordain- ed in this country. He said there were 100000 Indian Catholic com municants out of 8 total of 250,000, 50,0OO in round numbers being Prot estants, and 100000 pagans. The In- dian, he said, yielded readily to Chris tian teaching.

Philadelphia will send about 1 ,500 delegates and visitors, among whom will be the Knights of Columbus Band and several uniformed organizations. The Central Verein, too, will have some uniformed companies of Jaegers with a band.

HUNDREDS OF YARDS OF FILMS DEVEL OPED
 IN LOCAL STUDIOS

The photographic season is on in Bridgeport. One firm reported re- gently developing fully 300 yards of film in one day, taken by amateurs now in this city. It is estimated by canvas of the larger photographic supply houses and developing stations that nearly 1,200 ards are being taken daily in Bridgeport and it's environs or approximately 14,000 individual pictures. /,
 Of this number 1t Is explained that a large quantity never comes to the printing stage because of faulty, ex- posures. and much of the picture talk ing is done in dozen lots during trips and returned to this city for develop ment.
 Experts declare that the heaviest picture taking months of the year are June and September. during the opening and closing of the schools, which would indicate that the most prolific photographers are under the age of 20 years.

 Just few lines from the Mexican border. I lived at Walnut Beach, Conn. before the trouble started.
 The "chow Is fine here and there's plenty of same. We had eggs, fried potatoes. biscuits. syrup and cocoa for breakfast this morning. The weather 1s very hot. It Is nearly unbearable. It's nearly always 130 degrees or over. We have rain and sand storms occa- sionally. We are situated in the Sulphur Springs Valley, Arizona, and the ground ,on which we are abounds with cactus, mesquite plants, several other species of wild vegetation and rattlers. There are mountains on all sides and the scenery is beautiful.
 We had some time while en route for Arizona. People met us at all the principal stations. Girls gave us sandwiches, fruit, postal cards. maga- zines, etc. At Pittsburgh the women presented us with comfort kits. We sure did appreciate same. One old woman at Dennison, Ohio, actually cried. She understood, perhaps, bet ter than we did, what we were going to the border for. They sure were patriotic all along the line. At all the stops our quartet rendered songs. Here's one of them, to the air of "Glory. Hallelujah":
 We will hang Vic Caranza by the
 back of his neck;
 If we don't hang Carranza, we wil.

 We will hang Vic Carranza to a sour

 Here's another, air of "Tipperary": It's long way to get Carranza,
 It's a long way to go;
 It's a long way to get the Greasers,
 But it's the surest thing we'll do. Goodbye, dear old Bridgeport,
 Farewell, Seaside Park,
 It's long, long way to get Carranza,
 But we're goin' right there.
