MIR. HURLEY SENIOR
SUDDENLY PASSES AWAY

Mike Hurley went to Walsenh,ug x

tination he found death had claimed

CAUSE OF PRESIDENTIAL RE-
suit WEST OF MISSISSIPPI

By /. N. Stevens, in Pueblo Chieftain.
1t does not require much investi-
cation into the alignment of political
forces to determine the reasons for
the remarkable Democratic vi tory
west of the Mississippi.
1t is quite apparent that in New
England generally, and in New York,
New Jersey, Indiana, Illinois and
Michigan the rank and file of the
Progressive voters followed the lead
of Mr.. Roosevelt and voted for Mr..
Hughes. 1t is equally apparent that
the rank and file of the Progressives
west of the Mississippi river declined
to follow Mr.. Roosevelt's lead and
cast their fortunes with the Demo
cratic party, except where candidates
of their own were nominated by the
Republicans.
In California Governor johnson
succeeded in winning the senatorial
election by a majority estimated at
fifty thousand. In Washington, Mr..
Poindexter won very substantial
victory for the same office, in Colo
rado, every real Progressive upon the
Republican ticket was either elected
or made a splendid race, notably Mr.,
Mulnix for state treasurer, Judge
Allen for supreme court justice, Mr..
Starkweather for senator and several
others in various localities thruout
the state. In Indiana and Illinois
particularly, the Republicans catered
to the Progressives, both in the

FOOD SITUATION IN
ENGLAND is SERIOUS

United PresS.
oNDON, Nov. ia warning
tha' the situation in England ha I
reached a point where the govern
ment may be compelled to take arti-
ficial means of limiting the consump-
tion of food was sounded in the House
of Commons by Walter Runciman,
president Of the board of trade. AS
one Of the first steps to meet the
situation, Runciman announced the
government would limit the milk
prices.
Runciman said he favored the ap-
pointment of a food controller for
England with greater powers than
any similar official. The Premier
will name the controller later.
."Conscription has gone too far"
said Runciman. "Men must be brot
back for farming and ship building
or the government may be compelled
to take artificial means of limiting
food consumption" He announced
the government would assume the
power to institute food tickets any
time it chooses.

campaign made to win votes for the
Republican ticket. Mr.. Medill Nc
Cormick was nominated in Illinois
for congressman at large and in In
diana several Progreasives of prond-
nence were placed upon the tickets
and Mr. Bevendge cast the weight
Of his influence in favor Of Mr..
Hughes.
It must be that in the states west
of the Mississippi river, the Repub-
leans did not adopt such efficient
methods as they did in the east in
campaigning for the Progressive
vote. During the past four years
Mr.. Wilson and the Democratic rar.
~ in congress have lost no opportun-
ity to enact Legislation which would
appeal to tIe following Of Colonel
Roosevelt ih the 1912 campaign and
naturally they laid the groundwork
TO win such Progressive voters and
they were certain to obtain them in
the absence Of most intelligent and
strenuous efforts on the part Of Re
publican campaign managers to over
come such natural preference.
The serious question for the future
i'm eoiora,io and many. other western
states, is whether or not the Progress
sives ever can be taken out of the
Democratic party. Certainly they
cannot be by the old-fashioned
method Of campaigning in which
nominees seel. elections upon the sole
ground that: 81 have always voted
the Republican ticket That is not
apt to be of much force in eommuni-
ties where the great mass Of the yot-
ers have quite often voted every
other ticket than the Republican
ticket.
Mr.. Gladstone's remarks about his
own change Of heart upon numerous
public questions in the latter years
of his life, should be Of political ben
eft to all political parties at all
times in this country. viz: "That
public man is either fool or a lmaye
who never changes his mind upon
great public questions"
In a fundamental way there is a
world of difference between the Re
publican and Democratic. parties in
this country and that difference is in
herent. But it is not of such a
character as will ever justify to the
voters the violation of platform
pledges or any failures in efficient
administration Of government, or Of
neglect in meeting the public prob
lens Of the people as the same may
from time to time arise.

DRILL HOLES THROUGH ICE
Seals Necessity Of Obtaining Air In
Winter Calls for Tedious and
Constant Labor.

II is probable that not one person In
a thousand knows how the seal Of the
far North gets air when the Arctic
ocean Is entirely covered with many
feet OF Ice.
The small, spotted seal, which Is n
hair seal, and not a fur-bearer, Is the
hardy dweller OF the northern waters.
Under his tough. thick skin he has an
inch or more OF blubber. When the
Ice closes up the open water In the
Arctic, the seal selects SPOT and be-
gins to drill hole to the surface by
pressing his warm nose against the
Ice. Nobody knows how many hours
1t takes him to accomplish his task,
but he manages 1t; and although he is
obliged to work most OF the time, be-
cause the surface Of the hole Is con-
tinually freezing, he keeps II open all
winter, and obtains air.
Seals have been known to drill In
this manner through 80 feet Of solid
Ice. Whether or not they take turns
In the slow drilling Is not positively
known.
II Is at these "seal holes" that the
polar bear seeks food In the winter
and there the Eskimo waits. spear In
hand, for his weekly supply Of meat.

FOOTBALL TOMORROW
At A. & N. CO[LECE
Aaoles VIII Meet the Missouri state
School Of Mines From Rolla, Mo.
Fast Game Anticipated.

One of the fastest games Of the
present football season at A. and NJ.
College will be staged Friday after
noon when the Aggies meet the team
from the Missouri State School OF
Mines from Rolla, Mo. Last year the
Rolla.A. and NJ. game was perhaps the
best of the season at the college from
the standpoint of real football. A. and
NJ. annexed the scalp of the Nilsson.
rians to the tune OF 33 to 3.
Inlay, one of the Rolla backs, Is
supposed to be the fastest man In the
United States In a football uniform.
Last year II looked like time and time
again that he would score, but always
the Aggles held the Miners. The Rolla
team got away to a slow start this
season, but their last few games have
been good ones and the indications
are that they will lead A. and NJ. a
merry chase.
The Aggies spent Monday and Tues.
day in running signals In preparation
for the Rolla game. 1t was too cold
to scrimmage. but the eleven put In
full time. Wednesday afternoon they
were given driving workout In sig
nal practice. Yesterday afternoon
they had light workout and then will
rest until the game Friday afternoon.
The game will begin promptly at AIS
o'clock
The A. and NJ, freshman team goes
to Dallas Saturday where they will
play the Hardin school.
