TWO SAVED
In GEM COUNTY
Only Sutton, Probate Judge, and Flake
Commissioner Escape Landslide.

Gem county got caught in the Dem
ocratic landslide that swept over the
country in general on Tuesday and
only two Republicans, A. 0. Sutton,
for probate judge, and ]. E. Flake,
commissioner from the First district,
escaped from the wreckage. Flake
has big majority, but Sutton, with
the Gross precinct yet to hear from,
has majority of only D. Reports
are that 80 votes were cast at Gross
with a majority for the Democratic
candidates. However, it is generally
conceded that Mr.. Sutton has received
sufficient votes to pull him through.
Two complete surprises were the
defeat of E. K. Hayes for state sena-
tor and Miss Mathilda Peterson for
treasurer. Price Bane's majority over
Hayes is 100 and S. o. Zachman leads
Miss Peterson for treasurer by 40,
with the returns from Gross yet to
be counted.
The tabulated vote of county pre-
cincts is given elsewhere on this page.

that the guardsmen vote aggregated
about $500.

The action of the city council in

- At o'clock this morning the Asso-
.ciated Press made the following state
ment:
On the second day after the Ameri-
can people cast their presidential bal
lots, the result still is in doubt and
the contest between President Wilson
and Charles Evans Hughes has mar
rowed to a point where it may be de-
cided by few western states.
1t is possible that the votes of ma
tional guardsmen on border duty may
turn some of the doubtful states from
one column to another.
Based on actual returns received by
The American Press, the electoral col
lege now gives Hughes 239 votes, Will
son 232 and leaves 60 doubtful.
Two of the metropolitan newspa-
give him 252 votes, President Wilson
PSI and admit the doubtful character
of only California, New Mexico and
Minnesota. Another, which support
ed the president, agrees with its con-
temporaries in giving him 251 votes,
but comedies Mr.. Hughes 228 and re-
CARDS the others-in seven states
as doubtful.
Each of the national chairmen ex-
presses the utmost confidence that
the ultimate results will elect his can
didate.
With the contest narrowing steadily
to close votes in the vital spots, re-
counts are almost inevitable and each
side is on the watch for irregulari-
ties. There is no assurance that the
result will be fully known in another
day.
This still left the result in doubt.
Without these three states President
Wilson would have 251 votes and with
them he would have 281.
Without them, Charles Evans
Hughes would have PAP votes and
with them he would have 272.
These figures presume there will
be no changes in the states as pre-
viously accredited.
New Hampshire was accredited by
the secretary of state to Hughes by
the margin of 161 votes, but was
claimed by the Democrats.
Although California still showed
lead for the president, and his cam
paign managers were claiming it by
at least 1900, the presidents majority
there had dwindled to a little more
than 400, with about one-fifth of the
districts missing.
West Virginia, two-thirds complete,
was showing Hughes a majority of
nearly 1000. North Dakota was very
close, two thirds complete, showing a
Hughes majority of less than 1000.
Wilson was leading in New Mexico
with only small proportion of the
precincts reported. Delaware and New
Hampshire counted among the
Hughes states, but incomplete, dur
ing the day, definitely turned into the
Republican column.
