PRESIDENT WILSON ELECTED

Republicans Demand Recount Of Votes in Several
Close and Pivotal States.
RECORD BREAKING INTEREST IN THE NEWS
Entire Nation Kept Suspense While Election Judges of Few

almost every electoral vote would be
vital, the returns from down on the
border were grabbed hot off the wires.
After veering back and forth for days,
New Mexico was definitely placed in
the Wilson column, though there, too,
the presidents margin was so scant
that a basis was afforded for the call
for recount. A few mistakes dis
covered in the figures of the precinct
officials might well swing the state
over to Hughes.
Wilcox Demands Recount.
On Friday National Chairman Will
cox Of the Republican party handed
out the following statement:
'The result still depends upon the
vote in few close states. It must be
borne in mind that the returns thus
far announced are, in most states, un-
official, and may be changed by the
official count required by the laws of
those states.
Twice during these unofficial COM
putatiOns yesterday in California mis-
takes in additions were announced
from that state, substantially changing
figures previously given.
1T is common experience that the
result Of the official count almost al
ways varies from the returns first an
nounced.

all necessary steps to see that an ex-

made. When the current seemed to be
running against Mr.. Wilson on Wednes-
day the Democratic managers an
nounced their intention to demand q
recount in every close state.
"AH we desire is to make sure that
the vote is counted as cast"
Both sides conceded that no matter
what action might be taken In regard
to recount there was little likelihood

New York, Nov. lion the face Of
tae returns, unofficial and still incom-
plete, woodrow Wilson has been re-
elected president Of the United States
with a majority of at least eleven in
the electoral college. But the Repub-
Mcans place a cloud on his title that Is
likely to remain for. week or ten
days, and In the meantime the Repub-
llcans are declining to pay their cleo
don bets.
The situation is extraordinary and
has resulted In days Of nerve-raeking
strain for the people Of the country.
If the election officials Of few remote
precincts In afew states know how the
nation has been waiting breathless to
hear from them, they must be swelled
up enormously with sense Of their
importance. For on those few pre-
cincts has depended the nations choice
OF its chief executive.
That Mr.. Wilson'S victory over Mr..
Hughes win not be conceded without
recount in the close states, such as Cal
ifOrnia, New Hampshire, New Mexico
and North Dakota, was determined at
conferences Of the Republican leaders
here. Chairman Wilcox asserted re-
count would be demanded wherever
the margin of Democratic victory was
SO small that comparatively few votes
would turn the scales He and his as
socfates say they take the position
that there should be no cloud upon Mr..
wilson's title to the presidency. The
Democrats, for their part, declared
that there must be recount in New
Hampshire, even though the returns
gave the state to Mr.. Wilson.
That the returns are still incomplete
Is due to the presence on the border Of
the National Guard of a number. of
states: The soldiers are permitted to
vote by mail, their ballots being for
warded to the auditors of their home
counties, and In Minnesota especially
the vote Of the Guardsmen is likely to
cut a figure in determining whether the
state goes into the Wilson or the
Hughes column.

It's not that the celluloid collar has

IT'S simply that dealers can get few

SUGGESTIONS TO

First.-Almost every operation in
our hospitals performed upon women
becomes necessary through neglect Of
such symptoms as backache, irregular
and painful periods, displacements, pain
in the side, burning sensation in the
stomach, bearing down pains, nervous.
ness, dizziness and sleeplessness.
Second.-Themedicine most success.
full in relieving female ills is Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. 1t
regulates and strengthens the organism;
it oyercomes disease.
For forty years 1t has been making
women strong and well, relieving back
ache, nervousness, liberation and in
flammation, weakness, displacements,
irregularity and periodic pains. 1t
has also proved invaluable in prepar-
ing for childbirth and the Change Of
Life.
Third.-The great number of unso-
licited testimonials on file at the Pink
ham Laboratory at Lynn, Mass, many
of which are from time to time published
by permission, are proof of the value Of
