Ohio in Democratic Column, With
Several Western States IN Doubt.
New York, Nov. S.-Returns show
result Of the presidential election is
in doubt. Republicans and Democrats
are claiming the advantage. 1t may
require the official count to determine
who won.
All of the early reports showed a
landslide to Hughes and Fairbanks in
the east. They carried New England,
New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Iowa, West Virginia and Wisconsin
by old time pluralities. Chairman
Wilcox claimed the election of the
Republicans by more than 800 in the
electoral college.
Shortly after midnight the decided
swing toward President Wilson be-
came evident in the far west and the
northwest. 1t was sufficient to throw
a real scare into the Republican man.
ayers and to bring hopefulness to the
Democracy
Democratic National Chairman Nc
Cormick took the initiative in claim
ing the reelection of President Will
son, following a conversation over the
10 ltc4o fol Wi
Tumulty at Asbury Park. He declar-
ed the complete returns would show
the president had more than 266 cleo
toral votes necessary to elect. AS a
nucleus for his claim he seized upon
Indiana, earlier conceded to the Re-
publicans by 10000. indianapolis and
that section of the state had piled up
an early lead for the Republican tick
ct which the returns from the corn
fields" later slowly and surely began
60 wipe out.
While the advantage still rests with
the Republicans, Candidate Hughes
showed that he was by no means GER
tain when he declined to make any
statement whatever.
It is apparent that the next house
of representatives will be safely Re-
publican, and that IL the Democrats
retain their control of the senate
1t will be on very slender thread.
The Republicans have elected their
governor in New Hampshire, Vermont,
Massachusetts,, Rhode Island, Connec
ticut, New York, Illinois and other
states.
Later returns from the West are
more favorable to Wilson. On the
face of early reports, Kansas, re-
garded as a safe Republican state, has
given its vote for the president.
Wilson leads in Ohio, but the Re
publican managers refuse to concede
his victory. Both sides claim the
state with apparent confidence.
Indiana and Wisconsin are in doubt
but the returns indicate that Hughes
is leading in both.
Chairman Wilcox definitely claims
Hughes election. Chairman McCor
mick refuses to concede it, declaring
that complete returns will show Will
sons election.
It looks as If the vote in the elec
toral college will be fairly close.

GASOLINE UP 1927
Feed for the Automobile Gets
Another Boost.
Price Is Double That of Few
Months Ago.

The high cost of automobiling re-
ceived another boost today when a
raise in the price of gasoline was an
nounced by the Topeka Oil company
Gasoline is now selling for 21 cents Il
gallon at tie local stations. Advances
have been steady since last fall, md
the price is d, uble that of nine
months ago.
An advance of 10 cents a barrel on
crude oil has been made also. This
brings t price up to S1.55 a barrel
besides the premium. Oil also has
shown a steady increase in price dur
ing. the past year.
Some time ago it was predicted by
an official of an independent oil COM
pany in the east, that gasoline would
go to 40 cents or even so cents before
this summer is over, unless an en-
barge was established by the govern
ment on exports At the rate it has
been advancing in the past few months
t seems that this forecast may be full
filled.

FRANK THOMAS
PREDICTS WAR
WITH MEXICO
TOpekan Says Entire Republic
Will Turn Against U. S.
Carranza Never Will Keep
Faith, He Declares.
THOMAS WILL NOT RESIGN
Asserts He Has No Intention OF
Leaving Democrats.
"ViIIa Never Can Be Taken
Alive-TOO Shrewd."
Carranza Never Will Keep
Faith, He Declares.
THOMAS WILL NOT RESIGN
Asserts He Has No Intention of
Leaving Democrats.

Carranza will never keep faith with
the United States. In week forces of
Carranza will swing behind Villa, who
already has the support and sympathy
of half of Mexico.
That was the sensational statement
today of Frank S. Thomas of Topeka, a
personal friend of Villa. Thomas is
confident Villa will never be taken
alive and declares that the situation in
Mexico is due to bad judgment on TIE
part CT President Wilson and HIS cab
met.
In Mr.. Thomas judgment Carranza
will be fortunate if he gets out of
Mexico alive. He fears we have got
ten into war with Mexico, which all
good citizens ought to regret Mexico,
ne says, may be our Servia.
Thomas, a Democrat and bier op-
ponent of President Wilson in his
handling Of the Mexican situation, de-
clares that the move to send troops
into Mexico means but one thing-var
with the entire country. CarranZa,
Thomas declares, has never been a
friend of the American government
He has never acted in good faith. He
is without the following of his peo-
pie and Villa will enlist the support of
Mexieo in the fight which the Topeka
man declares can mean nothing less
than war.
Doubts Columbus Story.
1.-The Columbus massacre was de-
pIorable, don't misunderstood me in
that" said Thomas today. But 1 be-
iieve there is another story of the Co
lumbus slaughter. 1 don't think all
of the truth has yet been told
DO you believe the American ov-
ernment erred in extending reciprocal
privileges to Carranza's troops to cross
the border into the United tSates %

TO AID GERMANS
Heavy ReinfOrcementS Arriv-
ing at Verdun Front.
Crown Prince Will Make Three
Drives at Once.

London. March 14.-Heavy German
reinforcementS were arriving at the
Verdun front while German artillery
continues the terrific bombardment
of French field positions today.
Delayed dispatches from Swiss cities
reported the closing of the Swiss-Ger-
man frontier to conceal troop move
ments.
French airmen have observed the
inpouring of fresh German legions.
Summons War Lords.
These dispatches revived the report
that Field Marshal Won Mackensen is
now at Verdun and carried the rumor
that Won Hindenberg has been SUM-
moned to the same front by the kaiser.
The infantry assault that almost
certainly will succeed the SO -FOUR
bombardment of the French Verdun
front is expected any hour. French
critics believe the crown prince will
drive simultaneously on both banks or
the Meuse striking to capture the
Goose Hill and Dead Mans Hill
positions northwest of Verdun, and
Fort Vaux and Fort Tavannes east of
the city.
