Remember 1892" was thepredic-
ton of the democratic publicity bu-
reau, which pointed out that in that
memorable contest the next days re-
vised returns placed Grover Cleve-
land in the White House.
Soon after midnight the republican
national committee in an official
statement claimed California, Con-
necticut, Delaware, Idaho, illinois,
Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Maryland,
Massachusetts, Michigan, New Hamp-
shire. New Jersey, New York, North
Dakota, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode
Island, South Dakota, Vermont,
Washington, West Virginia and Wis
consin, which makes a total of 276
electoral votes, 10 more than the nee
essary 266 for an election.
This was the official indication
from the republicans that he result
would be SO close. The republican
managers realized that sudden
switch in the states incomplete or I'M
heard from might increase the Will
son figures but were sure the later
figures would add to the states they
were claiming.

Des Moines, Ia, Nov. 8.-Carry-
ing every congressional district in
the state, and possibly every one of
the SO counties, W. L. Harding. re-
publican candidate for governor, was
elected by an overwhelming majority
of votes, over E. T. Meredith, the
democratic nominee.
From the beginning of the first re-
turns, which came in few moments
after the Z o'clock closing of the
polls, Harding took lead over Mere
dith which was held hour after hour
until it became certain that his final
majority when complete returns are
in, may run to 100000.
Harding carried such wet counties
as Scott and Crawford, and such dry
counties as Dallas, Page Greene,
and Warren. He ran ahead of
Huehes in all sections of the state.
One of the great surprises of the
election came in Polk county which
ga don't Wilson majority
for a second term. The city of Des
Moines overturned all previous rec
ords and gave the democratic cleo
tors 1000 lead over Hughes, but
Hardin~ oar'ried the city by $500
and the county by $500.
'@es~t9f county, where a special
orfen 9f'on was formed early in the
canPaisn. ard where it was said ESQ
rep@N'ienns had pledged themselves
to vote Tor Mn Meredith, came into
the H"refDg camp early in the count
in N estimated majority of
2,Gr0
Tho campaign now ended was one
OF the most strenuous, and at times
the most yitriolic of any ever carried
on in tie history of the state. In it's
intensifv and because the republi-
can national committee considered
lowa as sure state, the presidential
contest was nearly lost sight of.
Early in the state fight, UNFOLDING
the declarations of it's candidate for
governor the democratic party based
its whole fight on the so-called "wet"
and dry" issue. The republican
party and its candidate declared that
the saloon and liquor were not is
sues in the campaign, that the saloon
was gone from the state, and that it
never would return. Both parties
We're pledged to the submission to
the voters of constitutional prohib-
ito'y amendment.
The incoming legislature Will be
strongly republican in both branches
and undoubtedly the amendment res
olution adopted by the 36th general
assembly will be adopted by the
9th which conyenes next January
and VIII be submitted to the voters
In 1913.

New York, Nov. Slate election
returns, still incomplete in many
states, indicate the election of
Hughes and Fairbanks, but the fig
ures were very close and the demo-
cratic managers steadfastly refused
to concede republican victory.
Although the metropolitan news
papers which have supported Presi-
dent Wilson conceded his defeat, the
democratic managers insisted that
complete returns from the west
would revArse the trend which stead
lily seemee to be piling up the Hughes
column.

SHARK HUNTING SUMMER! SPORT
 IN N j. WATERS

< New York. July 14-Shark hunting has become a favorite sport along the Jersey coast, in the waters of New York and along the ocean side of Long Island as the e1result of the re- cent raids by man-eating monsters from southern waters is which have killed four persons.
 Thousands of persons who have been driven to the beaches by the hot wave fear to enter the waters in the vicin- ity of New York since sharks killed a man and a boy in Matawan Creek, N. J., on Wednesday.
 Shark hunters at Matawan Creek believe they have this shark penned up in the creek behind series of wire nets (which have been strung across the creek at intervals from it's mouth to the scene of the tragedy, 16 miles from the entrance.
 At almost low tide today the body of Lester StillweIl was found in Mata- wan Creek about 200 feet west of the spot where it disappeared after being attacked by . shark. It had been bitten nearly in two above the waist line. > r-N
 Joseph Dunn. the 10 year old boy whose leg was terribly torn by the invader of Matawan Creek, is in a hospital in New Brunswick, N. J. Little hope Is held for his recovery.
 Opinfen5 of experts differ widely as to the cause of the pIesence of, these dangerous sharks in the cool waters of this coast or, why they come so near tn ebeaches. Fishermen, how ever, believe that the nan-eaters are of the ordinary type of sharks which have been made ravenous by a scare ity of food.

BridgepOrters Had Great Time In Baltimore, Says Local

 Edward AT Gilligan, exalted r1fier, headed the advance guard of Bridge port Elks returning from the national convention at Baltimore. MT.

 Approximately 300 were in the Bridgeport party which left here Sun day, morning on the "Barnumtown Special" From the moment of their arrival in Baltimore until the. big parade that marked the height of the celebration was over. there was something to occupy the Bridgeport CTS. every. minute.
 MT. Gilligan reported that the Bridgeporters. in their purple and white clown suits, made a good show ing in the parade and were given g big reception all along. the line. The prizes for the parade have not been awarded as yet, the only announce ment being that Detroit lodge had taken first honors.
 Side trips to Annapolis, Washington and down Chesapeake Bay were en- joyed by the visitors, while hundreds sought to get a glimpse of the sub marine liner Deutschland" Bridge porters who paid prohibitive fares tc get near the U-boat.s dock had tt content themselves with a bird'seye view of the craft and get the rest of their knowledge from the news papers. sA4
 Many Bridgeporters will leave Bal timore for home today, while others are planning to spend the weekend in Atlantic City.
