On Field Maneuvers.

While waiting for the command to be
recruited up, the troops now are being
taken out on field maneuvers. The Sd
Infantry went out this morning in the
vicinity of Addison, Va, south of the
camp, for advance guard and outpost
work. 1t is brush country, of the
kind likely to be encountered by the
troops if they get into service in Mex
leo.
When the Sd Infantry leaves this
camp, it will not follow the same route
as the first detachment. 1t will go by
way of Louisville, Memphis, Texarkana
to Blsbee. The mounted organizations
now in camp, however. will fol-
low the same route as the LIST Sepa-
rate Battalion. Signal Corps and field
hospital, going by way of Chattanooga,
Memphis and Santa Rosa to Bisbee.
Reports of the difficulties being met
by the first organizations out of camp
in feeding the troops en- route, or
rather cooking for them. are being read
with interest by the organizations still
in camp. Plans were started this
morning to profit by these reports, and
large covered receptacles are being
made to prevent the food from falling
all over the cars while it is being
cooked.

Bad Time for Companies.

This is a bad time for the militia
organizations. The enlistments of
large number of the militiamen are ex-
piring daily. With little prospect of
a movement to the front, recruits are
not coming in very rapidly. Under
ordinary conditions there is great
rush of men to enlist in the Dis
trict guard just before camp. which is
usually held in August. 1t is the en-

piring. and thus bringing the total

Committee Begins Activities.

Definite action was begun yesterday
at meeting of the plan and scope
committee of the executive committee
of the association, at which eight mem
bers were present. The plan and scope
committee originally was intended to
have ten members, but other persons
interested in the relief work and who
are able to devote a great deal of their
time to it will be added from time to
time. Walter S. Ufford and William
Knowles Cooper were made members
of the committee at the meeting yes
terday.
At the meeting Mr.. Dolph recon-
mended that committees on investiga-
ton, finance, employment and physical
aid be appointed. The committee
named the chairmen of these commit
tees as follows: Investigation. Mrs.

mombers of these committees will be
appointed this evening.

Citizens Welfare Association
Begins Definitely Its Work
for Relief for Needy.
FUND OF NEARLY $500
AVAILABLE AT PRESENT
Offices Opened With Donald Price in
Charge-Mrs. W. E. Harvey
Directing Activities.

With nearly $4,000 available. the Cit
liens Welfare Association today began
definitely it's work of relief for needy
families of national guardsmen of the
District under the direction of Mrs.
William E. Harvey, who has been ap-
pointed chairman of the committee on
investigation. Quarters were opened in
Room 716, in the new Munsey building,
and Donald Price was temporarily in
stalled as executive secretary. Appeals
for aid and contributions may be ad-
dressed to the Citizens Welfare Asso-
citation at that address.
The action of the board of directors
of the Chamber of Commerce last night
in pledging the chamber to contribute
$1,000 to the cause has heartened the
workers to redouble their efforts, and
it is expected that before the end of
the day many of the cases from which
appeals have come will receive at least
temporary aid. This sum, together
with the $1,000 given by the Rotary
Club several weeks ago, and smaller
sums received by John Dolph, presi-
dent of the association, and Mrs. Har-
vey, give the new relief body a good
financial working basis.

With all of the organizations now
mustered in, the officers and men are
specializing as to which will be the
next unit to move out of camp for the
border The mounted troops do not
expect to have many of their men
thrown out on the physical examina-
ton, They expect to get away before
the infantry. which is seriously handi-
capped through slow enlistments.
Expects Target Practice.
The cavalry. of course, expects to get
twenty days of target practice. The
field artillery has had but little prac-
tice with horses since it has been
in camp. There are thirty horses be-
tween the two batteries. Thus only
one section can go out for drill at
time. The officers and men are anxious
to get horses SO that they may get in
some hard riding and earnest full bat
terry drill before they leave for the
front.

QUAY COUNTY GOES SOLID FOR
DEMOCRATS---STATE RETURNS
SLOW BUT DEMOCRATS LEAD

Eager would have hard time pulling
through as the city vote was badly
mixed. Eager led here by 1873 votes
and when the returns from the county
commenced to arrive it was in Eager's
favor. He defeated Pack by 651.
Albert Calish defeated j. H. Bridges
by 440 votes.
The accompanying table on first
page, is not official, hut was taken
from persons bringing in the ballots
and over the telephone. This may
change things considerable one way or
the other.
There was quite lot of money eX-
pended in Quay county and it no doubt
had some effect but the day is about
over in Quay county when the voter
will sell his vote. He may take the
money or the booze. but he votes just
as he pleases.
II will be noticed that Wilson car
ried every precinct in Quay county ex-
cept one and that was counted tie
l2 TO l2.
The railroad boys supported Wilson
with their vote and by working for
him among their friends. Some of
those who could not be here to vote
secured certificates and voted for Will
son where they could get to the polls.
This cut the vote down some in Quay
county but counted for him in New
Mexico.

CLOSE IN KANSAS

President Wilson continues to hold
his lead in Kansas returns. II was
one of the closest elections ever known
in Kansas.
Kansas could not be claimed by
either Wilson or Hughes in view Of the
returns available early today.
1t was one of the closest election
races the state of Kansas has ever
known. With 742 precincts out OF
2474 reported, the president had a total
of il2,OOl votes against l07,803 for

The state is probably safe In the
Wilson column. Women voted here TO,

they favored Wilson IN the voting

Santa Fe, Nov. 9.--1t was regarded

indicate De Baca's election by close to
Republican headquarters indicated the
election of Bursum by about 500. How
ever, it will take the returns from re-
mote precincts, which will not reach
here until late today, to decide finally
and even then it may take the official
count on some of the candidates.
The Hughes electoral ticket runs
several hundred ahead of Bursum on
the returns received, while chief jus

Ervien run 1900 ahead of Bursum and

TheDemocratic legislative ticket was

New York, Nov. lO.--With only New
Mexico and Minnesota in the doubtful
list, as it appears Friday morning.
Wilson has 273 electoral votes safe,
while Hughes has 243.
1t appears that Minnesota will give
its l2 votes to Hughes. making his
total 255.
Hughes may get New Mexico's 3
votes, but it now looks like Wilson had
them on his sure list.
Telegraphic reports indicate there
Is no doubt now about Wilson carrying
California.
The Democrats still claim West Vir-
ginia, but Hughes lead there is so
long that il is not believed Wilson can
dislodge him.
New Mexico will be very close, but
unless there are more changes to be
made in the Certain" list of Wilson
it will not affect the result either way.
Wilson's lead in California will be
between 5000 and 10000.
In Minnesota with 2736 precincts
counted and 2s8 remaining yet to count
Hughes lead is 811.
OF 0 states classed as doubtful on
Wednesday, four have been assigned
to Hughes and four to Wilson, while
New Mexico, formerly classed as Dem
ocratic, is now regarded as doubtful
thus leaving two doubtful states.
However, in the list no longer class
ed as doubtful, there are a number OF
states which the party managers re.
fuse to concede 10 their opponents.
Contests are predicted in a number
of states, which may necessitate re-
count with possible change of some
votes for presidential electors.
