Board Of Supervisor. Defendant.

The board of supervisors is made
CO defendant in a suit filed in circuit
court by F. l.. Miner, to clear title to
$40 acres of land owned by Frank R.
Patchett near Bancroft. The other
defendant is G. w. Sager.
The board is brought into the suit
by reason OF the fact that mortgage
for $4,000 on the property, given by
Hiram Curtis, 35 years ago, has never
been discharged by the entire board,
although ten members of the board
discharged it. The mortgage was given
to cover any judgment that the board

Corunna High School Commencement

Corunna, June 21-The casino at
'McCurdy park was packed to the
doors Tuesday night, the occasion be-
ing the commencement exercises of
the graduating class of the Corunna
high school.
The stage was tastefully decorat-
ed. Eight pillars set in semi-circle,
between which was lattice work of
blue and white crepe paper, represent
ing the class colors were intertwined
with running vines. A background OF
green was used to advantage and the

ed very pleasing appearance. The

r. j. Cross.
The salutatory, by Miss Ethel
Moss, was we'll prepared and given
in pleasing manner, which was fol-
lowed by music by the Girls chorus
The 'class history" by Miss Fran
ces Cornell, and "class prophecy" by
Miss Lenna Wilcox, showed consider
able thought and were we'll deliver
ed.
The "Valedictory," by Miss Mil
dred Mattoon was exceptionally fine.
This was followed by music by the
Girls chorus.
Judge Matthew Bush, in his u.s.
ual pleasing manner, presented the
diplomas.
Rev. f. j. Cross followed with re-
marks and music by the orchestra
finished the program.
The address of DR.. G. o. Davis of
the U. of NJ, is as follows:
Each high school graduate owes
a debt to himself, his parents, to the
community in which he lives, and to
the government.
He owes debt first to himself.
He must not consider the completion
of his school work as the end of his
educational career. In reality it is
but fair beginning. He should con-
tinue his habit of reading good books
and magazines, continue the Develop
ment of his physical being in order
that he may preserve his health, and
make an effort to secure a higher ed
ucation.
ITO his parents he owes a debt of
gratitude. This thought should re-
main uppermost in his mind through
out the years of his life.
TO his community he owes an
obligation to take an active part in
those matters and discussions which
form so CONSPICUOUS a part of the life
Immediately around him. 1t is his
duty to take an interest in civic af-
fairs and to do his best to make the
community in which he resides a bet
ter, cleaner place to live.
TO the government the high
school graduate owes, perhaps, the
greatest debt of all. The state has
educated him but it expects to have
return for this expense with inter-
est. The graduate must gain truth,
for that is the rock bottom of liber-
ty. He must be public spirited, self
supporting, and willing to sacrifice
his own personal ambitions and desir
es for the sake of his government, If
he is to pay the great debt which he
owes the state"

TURNS The TRICK
Wilson Wins Without Any of
Pivotal States.
Tammany Promises of Delivery
of Big Vote Fails.

New York, Nov. 10.-Woodrow Will
son apparently has been elected presi-
dent without the votes of the hereto
fore supposedly Indispensable states
of New York, Indiana and Illinois.
He has seemingly won without aid
from three Democratic leaders whose
domination in those states is popu-
larly accredited them in the title of
"boss" They are: Charles F. MUIR
ply of Tammany Hall; Tom Taggart.
of Indiana, and Roger Sullivan, of
Illinois.
Only one other president Repub-
iican-has ever been elected without
erford B. Hayes, and his election over
Samuel J. 1,ilden in 1875 is the closest
parallel in American political history
to the close race of 1916.
No Administration Pie for Them.
Politicians all over the country will
await with interest the administra-
tion's treatment of the New York
city, Illinois state and Indiana state
Democratic organizations.
The consensus of opinion today was
that there were lean years ahead for
all three, so far as federal patronage
and recognition by the administration
is concerned. 1t is generally believed
that on Tammany Hall will fall the
hardest blow-since from dawn of
election day the presidents friends
had a hunch that the Murphyites
would knife Wilson. The tremendous
city majority which Tammany prom
ised Wilson failed dismally to ma
terialiZe

WANT To Be SURE
Result Depends on Few States,
Says Wilcox.
Duty to Country to See That
Count Is Exact.

New York, Nov. 10.-Chairman
Wilcox, of the Republican national
committee today issued the following
statement;
1.-The result still depends upon the
vote of few close states.
''It must be borne in mind that the
returns thus far announced are in
most states unofficial and may be
changed by the official count required
by the laws of those states
Twice during the unofficial com
putation yesterday in California mis-
takes in addition were announced
from that state, substantially chang
ing figures previously given.
TT is common experience that the
result of the official count almost al
ways varies from the returns first an
nounced.
Where the vote is as close as that
reported in several states it may we'll
be that material changes will result
from the official count We owe it
to the country to take all necessary
steps to see that an exact and honest
count of the votes is made.
when the current seemed to be
running against Mr.. Wilson on Wed
ncsday, the Democratic managers an
nounced their intention to demand a
recount in every close state.
"Al1 we desire is to make sure that
the vote be counted as cast"

MinnesOta's Importance al

Hughes Leads, but Soldier Vote
VIII Decide.

St Paul, Mimi, Nov 1O.-With the
Importance of Minnesota as a pivotal
state in the election of a president of
the United States greatly diminished
by developments in California, politi-
clans settled down today to wait until
perhaps Tuesday to learn just what
Minnesota did in election of a presi-
dent.

Ger are responsible for the delav Re-
turns from 2,939 precincts out of g.

Democrats, however. refuse to concede
the state. They state Hughes's lead
will be cut down to about 400 in Min
nesota, and that upon returns from
minnesota civilian voters Hughes may
be expected to carry Minnesota by $50
to 400.
But Democrats claim. however, that
the soldier vote will be for Wilson two
to one and will enable him to carry

Five Congressman Reelected
VIII Not Be Overlooked.

Democrat leaders representing
both state and local organizations will
meet at the Throop hotel, tonight to
lay plans for state wide celebration
of President Wilson's reelection. 1t
is probable that a big state wide rat

for the ratification will be worked out
at the meeting. 1t is probabl that
Shawnee county Democrats will cele-
brate Tuesday night. If plans can be
made, the meeting will assume state
wide proportions and many Bourbon
leaders who participated in the cam
paign, will have a part in the festivi-
ties.
One plan today was to bring all of
the state campaign stars to Topeka for
the ratification. Included in the
celebrities may be the five Demo-
cratic congressman from the Fourth,
Fifth, Sixth, Seventh and Eighth dis
tricts, who have been reelected.
THE prospect for a state wide rati-
fication in Topeka depends entirely
on our ability to organize such meet
ing before next Tuesday,, said Chair
man Whitney of the county commit
tee. 1--WE are now working out plans
for a big meeting in Topeka Tuesday
night and it will be a real celebration.
If the state organization can arrange
to join us, the meeting will be state

Ballot Box Tampering in
Doubtful States Reported.

New York, Nov. 10.-A conference
of G. o. P. chieftians who gathered
at headquarters shortly before noon
was still in session at 1880, presum-
ably mapping out the states in which
the party intends to institute pro-
ceedings for a recount, or possible
court proceedings. formal state
ment, issued by them with the appro-
val of Governor Hughes, declared the
result of the election could not be con-
sidered final until the official count is
completed. They pointed out that
many of the returns so far tabulated
are unofficial and already many mis-
takes having important bearing on the
result have been found. They said
they felt they lowed it to the Ameri-
can people to see that an absolutely
accurate and honest count is made
The leaders expected the official count
to be completed by next Monday.
Those in the conference included
Chairman WILCOX; George w. Per-
kins; George w. Wickersham; Frank
H. Hitchcock, Travis H. Whitney, Her
bert Parsons, Cornelius H. Bliss, jr.
New York, Nov. 10.-That President
Wilson's election will not be conceded
without a recount in the close states
was the declaration of Republican
leaders early today after conferences
lasting far into last night Some def
mite course OF aCtlOn prODdDly Will DC
decided upon soon. The states in
which it was said recourse to judicial
proceedings was likely were Califor-
mia, New Hampshire, New Mexico and
North Dakota.
If recount proceedings are institut-
ed, it was believed George w. Wicker
sham, attorney general of the United
States under President Taft would
marshal the legal forces of the Re-
publicans. He conferred late yester-
day with Mr. Hughes and Chairman
Wilcox of the national committee at
the nominees hotel here and another
conference later lasted nearly all
night. No formal statement was forth
coming as to what was contemplated
but Mr.. Wilcox asserted a recount
would be demanded wherever the
margin If Democratic victory was so
small that a comparatively few votes
would turn the sea les. He and his
advisers took the position, they said,
that there should be no cloud upon
Mr.. Wilson's title to the presidency.
Until Mr.. Wilson's victory was con-
ceded the Democrats were preparing
to demand a recount in the so-called
doubtful states" Alton B. Parker, who
