RES ULTS OF ELECTION.

The first returns Tuesday night
made things look like a Republican
landslide and the election of Hughes.
But with Woodrow Wilson, the
Democratic nominee, gaining ground d
and his Republican opponent, Charles
Evans Hughes, losing, the outcome OF
the national election this morning is
still in doubt.
At midnight last night the closest
presidential election in thirty-two years
appeared to hang upon the results in
the states of California and New MeXi-
co.
Wilson, leading IN both these states
had enough sure electoral votes to win,
in the event of his carrying them with
tlelr combined vote of sixteen. He
h ad been gaining steadily in California
from o'clock in the afternoon when
he took the lead over Hughes in the
returns.
OTHER STATES IN DOUBT.
In addition to California and New
Mexico, Minnesta, with twelve votes;
New Hampshire, with four, and West
Virginia with eight still remained in
the doubtful column.
In New Hampshire the unofficial
count gave Hughes plurality of l5l,
This viii be contested and the official
count will be required to decide who
has won the state.
President Wilson, through his Sc ere
tary, claimed his election Cd IL 9
strength of his apparent lead in Cali
forlia and Minnesota.
Secretary Tunulty said:
"We are now certain Of the presi-
dents election by a safe majority in
the electoral college. We are certain
of California and Minnesota, besides
this North Dakota, Kansas, New Mex
leo, New Hampshire and w est Virgin
la are ours"
Hughes carried Manitowoc county
by about $50 and the Democratic
county ticket got clicked" with the
exception of County Clerk Auton who
won out by about 10 votes.
TheoGore Anderson was defeated by
some 70 votes and Jos. Xahorik regis
ter of deeds lost to Gust Eggert by
about 10 votes. Jos. Ledvina for clerk

Democratic opponent, Dahm, by $50.
c. f. Brady won easily, defeating
District Attorney Schmitz 10y over

Jos. Kellner was elected sheriff over
Tom Brennan by about 45O.
County Clerk Auton was the only
Democrat saved in the wreck. He
pulled through with about 10
votes to the good
Carl Hansen from the first assembly
district and Martin Rapple from the
second had no opposition; neither had
Fage for coroner nor Gass for sur.
veyor.
Phillip carried the county by about
800 and LaFollette carried it by over
1900. He won in the state over wolfe
iby two to one.
Congressman NJ. X. Reilly carried
this county by about 80 but was de-
feated in the district by over 1000.
Davidson carried every county in the
district except Manitowoc. Quite a
complete report of the election in the
state and nation will be found on the
next page.
Later-Before going to press we
learn from Democratic headquarters at
Milwaukee that Wilson has carried
California which gives him 2S0 elect

ITEMS FROM THE PILOT FILES,
FORTY.FOUR YEARS AGO.

When near the Presbyterian church
on Monday last, the horse attached to
the delivery wagon of J. S. Alan S
grocery store, took fright by the break
ing Of the whiflie tree, and ran away,
his course being down Eighth street,
toward the river, on which street he
ran into wagon with a load of wood,
and demolished it, the horses attached
thereto also ran away, but were
brought to sudden stop by one of
them falling down. Alans horse,
however, continued its headlong
fight, after demolishing the wagon,
and precipating its occupant, Mr.. Alan,
heavily upon the sidewalk causing a
dislocation of one of the bones of his
left foot. He is rapidly recovering.

Golden Text, l Cor. iii, 16.

The event of this lesson, the coming
of the Holy Spirit, was ON the day Of
Pentecost, or the fiftieth day after the
resurrection of Christ 1t was fore
shadowed, as was all else, in the law.
In Lev. xiii, there is record of the
feasts Of the Lord Oversees 4, AZ in
which anointed eyes may see his death
and resurrection, the coming of the
Spirit and his return in glory. When
he was here in the days of his flesh
these feasts had become merely feasts
of the Jews with the Lord left out,
like much of the worship OF today,
which is only outward form without
reality.
The passover typilied the death Of
Christ, our passover. The sheaf of
first fruits on the morrow after the
Sabbath clearly indicates his resurrec-
ton, Christ the first fruits. The other
first fruits fifty days after the for
mer suggest the lesson of today, the
amounting of believers, the beginning
of the church story, and the feast OF
tabernacles points to his coming again
in glory and the conversion Of all Is
rael. There is great profit in Il special
study Of all these. See how sin in be-
levers is typitied by the leaven in the
second first fruits Verse ~. Return
ing to our lesson, from which we wan
dercd to Lev. xiii because of the
fiftieth day, note the expression with
one accord" which. ii l have counted
correctly, is used in Acts just eleven
times, seven times in Il good connec
ton, as in chapters i, II; H. ]. 46, and
four times Of the enemies of the Lord
as in vii, 81. If but Il few believers
could be heartily of one accord III the
Lords service great things might be
accomplished, as when the disciples
continued in prayer and supplication
about 12O men and women ii, IA, 40.
When the time was fully come the
promised comforter, the Holy Spirit,
came upon them and filled them all
verse 4; i, s; Luke xiv, 49. There
was sound as Of rushing, mighty
wind, and cloven tongues like as of
fire sat upon each of them Oversees .,
b, both the wind and the fire being
symbols of the Holy Spirit (Natt iii,
II; John iii, s; EZek. XxXvii, 8, 1O).
The Spirit on this occasion enabled
them to speak in the different Ian
guaees Of the people named in verses
9-l1, but note carefully that they all
understood what the disciples said, and
they all talked of the wonderful works
Of God. Contrast this with the so
called tongues movement of our day,
much of which consists of strange
sounds which no one on earth can un-
derstand.
