WILSON Is REELECTED

cause was lost. They had made a
sweeping inclusion of a dozen states.
Watching every move made by
their rivals and listening with eager
ness to every return from the deba-
table states, powerful men in the
Democratic party gathered at DEM
ocratic headquarters and announced
that they, too, would take part in
any proceedings for recanvass of
the vote.
The lines at 1 o'clock this morn
ing had already taken shape for a
battle of legal giants over the cleo
ton, and there were strong intima-
tions that before the curtain is real
ly and truly rung down upon the sit
uation the battle will have been TAX
EN- to the House of Representatives.
The returns upon which the tide of
battle turned were received shortly
after midnight. They came from Cal
ifornia, and showed that with only
48 districts missing the Presidents
plurality was 2,970. 1t had hung
around this figure for several hours,
occasionally rising well above and at
time falling to figure which gave
new hope to the Republicans. An
unofficial canvass was made of the
situation however, by the California
managers, and word was flashed to
the headquarters here that Califor-
MIA was lost to the Republicans.

CALIFORNIA is SAFE
FOR WILSON AND ITS VOTE RE.
ELECTS HIM PRESIDENT
Three States Still In Doubt, Two o.
Which He Will Get, Giving
Him ZIG Votes.

Louisville, Ky, Friday. Nov: 10,
200 p. M.
Special to Interior Journal:
Practically complete returns from
California precincts make no change
in morning figures and there is no
chance to take California from Will
son, and he is reelected beyond all
shadow of a doubt.
In Minnesota, Hughes is 755 in the
lead with a few other precincts out
and the vote of the national guards
men who voted on the border to be
counted. 1t is probable that Hughes
will get Minnesota, but he has no
chance to win even with it.
Wilson is 200 ahead in New Hamp-
shire and seems to have it sure. He
also has a very substantial lead in
New Mexico and has its electoral
vote beyond all doubt. Even without
these three states, which are the last
to be in doubt, he wins with 269
electoral votes, three more than are
necessary to elect. With New Mex
leo and New Hampshire which he
seems certain to have his final cleo
toral vote will be 276.
Chairman Wilcox, of the RepubE-
can National Committee, while re-
fusing as yet to concede Wilson's
election, issued statement today
to the effect that the Republican Ma
tional Committee will stand by the
result of the official count.
Privately, however, Republican
leaders have given it up, and the
greatest race in a quarter of CEN
fury is over. Wilson has been re-
elected. LOUISVILLE POST.

WONDERFUL GAIN
MADE BY WILSON IN VOTE IN
LINCOLN IN 4 YEARS
Received Largest Vote Vote Ever
Given A Presidential Candi-
date In This County

The largest vote ever cast in Lin
coin county in presidential race and
what old politicians say is perhaps
! the largest cast in any race, was poll
ed Tuesday in the presidential race
The total vote for Wilson was 2,204,
for Hughes 1858, and adding to this
the almost 100 votes cast for the mi
nor parties, the total vote cast is ov-
er 400.
The Democratic majority of 336
for Wilson over Hughes is also the
largest ever given a presidential can
didate and is a source of much graft
fication to all friends of the president
here. The republicans also cast an
almost record vote for their candi-
have beaten most any other candi-
date except one so generally popular
as Wilson. Both of the candidates
for congress received a slightly re-
duced vote from the highest elector
on each presidential ticket, but Con-
gresham Helm ran ahead of Wilson
in the majority, receiving 351 more
votes than his republican opponent,
Tom Neat, of Adair county.
The vote given Wilson was a ire
mendous gain over the vote he re-
ceived in Lincoln in 1912, at which
time he obtained only a plurality of
less than so votes over the combined
Taft and Roosevelt vote. Wilson's
vote in Lincoln in 1912 was 1853, as
against 1850 for both Taft and
Roosevelt, giving Wilson a majority
over both then of only Is votes. Just
how strongly Wilson has grown upon
the people here is shown by his 2,204
vote Tuesday compared with 1868
of four years ago, a gain of 341
votes, while the republican gain for
Hughes over the combined Taft and
Roosevelt vote of four years ago is
only IS votes. This can be considered
nothing else than a fair increase in
that party's vote in four years.
The vote in Lincoln county taken
from the stub book in every precinct
except the Courthouse where the of
ficers locked up the book in the bal
lot box, and in this precinct the vote
is given as it was verbally reported
by the officers of election election
night, is as follows:

hibit all importation of liquor into
that state, carried by 1900 majority
The Cincinnati Enquirer's predic-
ton, as a result of its straw vote that
the result of the election hung in a
delicate balance, was certainly borne
out fully by the result.
The commission plan of govern
ment was approved in Newport and
the democrats carried Campbell
county which usually goes republi-
can, by 1900.
In Tennessee Gov. Rye, democrat
was reelected by big majority. X:

to the U. S. Serate over former Gov.
Ben Hoppe, republican.

HS QSlcdI VI OulICQ OIdICo OCh-
ator Henry F. Lippitt, Republican,
by Peter G. Gerry, Democrat, in the
first direct election of United
States Senator in that state was the
outstanding feature of the vote. Mr..
Gerry's plurality was about $500.
Hughes carried the State by 400
plurality. Gov. Beeckman, republi-
can won by $4,000.
President Wilson carried Maryland
in Tuesdays's election by plurality
estimated at $3.50, but Congress
man David j. Lewis, Father of the
Parcel Post" was defeated in the
contest for the United States Sen
atorship by DR.. Joseph /. France,
whose estimated plurality was 6,367.
Lewis defeat was contributed large
ly to the openly expressed hostility
of the Democratic organization in
Baltimore City and to the anti-Pro-
hibitionists because of his vote in
Congress for a national prohibition
amendment. Prohibition was defeat
ed in seven of the eleven localities
in which the proposition was voted
upon in the State.

CONGRESS DEMOCRATIC.

The Democrats retain a working
majority in both Houses of Con-
gress, which means that the Wilson
policies will be carried out to the
letter and this great and glorious
nation will continue to go forward
and not backward. The Democratic
majority in Senate will be 10 and
in the House about I or s. These
figures may be slightly changed by
later reports, as most interest is CEN
tering in the presidential race, but
Democracy rules in both Congress
and the White House beyond all
doubt.

STOCK LAW ELECTIONS

Elections on the question of per-
hitting cattle generally to run at
large on the unenclosed lands were
held in two of the four magisterial
districts of Lincoln county. In the
Hustonville district, the voters de-
cided not to permit cattle to run
loose on the highways, defeating
those who favored that by a vote of
459 to 3S7. In the Stanford magis-
terial district, however, the verdict
was the other way and stock will be
permitted to run at large except in
the city of Stanford, where the city
regulations prohibit it. In two of
the Stanford precincts the vote on
this question cannot be given today,
for the reason that in the Engine
House precinct the officers of cleo
ton overlooked setting forth the re-
suit of the stock law election on the
stub book tally sheet and in the
Courthouse precinct the stub book
was locked up in the ballot box by
mistake. In the other two precincts
the result was:

The Negro, In Company With Severa
Other Boys, Had Been Stealing Bras
From the French Dry Cleaning Com
pany-Was Leader of Gang.

The arrest Of Harry Williams, the
15-year-old negro boy, who was
charged with larceny and house-break-
ing, is only the beginning of the break
ing up of, what the officers believe,
to be whole clan Of young thieves.
Van Clymore, Is years of age, was
taken into custody Wednesday by Of
ficers Lancaster and Peyton, charged
with stealing brass from the machin-
cry at the French Dry Cleaning COM
pany. The theft has been going on
for sometime before the circumstances
were made known to the officers.
They began work on the case several
days ago and succeeded in finding the
place where the brass was being dis
posed of, from there they obtained the
desired. information and brought the
clew to an end by the arrest Of one
of the ring leaders.
Clymore when questioned by the Of
ficers, admitted that he had been in
company with Williams upon his rob-
bling expeditions, but stated that he
always kept going when they reached
the desired place that the robbery was
to take place. He also admitted that
several other boys, all about the same
age, belonged to the gang.
The negro's mother expressed her
wish that the officers would place him
in safe keeping, that he had always
given her lots of trouble and was al
ways in company with Williams and
other little thieves.
The boy was taken to the States
Reformatory this morning.
The officers are determined to
bring this thieving business to a close
and are keeping on the lookout for the
remainder Of the clansmen.

U.S.STEEL EARNINGS
LARGEST EVER
FIVE PER CENT. DIVIDEND STAT
US OF COMMON SHARES Is
RESTORED. =

NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-United States
Steel common shares were restored to
their regular dividend status of per
cent. today when the directors unan-
imously declared a quarterly disburse
ment of ~ per cent. out of earnings
for the last quarter of 1915. Total
earrings of $51.232,78S for the three
months were the largest for any SINH
lar period in the history of the corpO-
ration, exceeding the previous record,
made in the second quarter of 1907,
by $5,72s,OSs.
The corporations financial position
may be judged from the fact that 1t
now has cash in banks amounting to
sos 5000, 900, while its surplus for the
last quarter of 1915 amounts to more
than $23,O00,00O, as against a deficit
of $5,505,000 in the corresponding
quarter of the previous year.
In detail the report for the last
quarter of 1915 shows total earnings
of $51,232,7SS, net income of $4O,S53.-
113 and surplus of $23, 300,692 These
figures compare with total earnings OF
$3S,710,644, net income of $30,O45, 781
and surplus of $1S,037,241 at the end
of the quarter Immediately preceding.
Total earrings for 1915 were $780,
351,296, compared with $S1,746,51S in
1914. On the basis Of returns for the
last quarter of 1915, and with orders
already in hand. 1t is believed the
steel corporations earnings for 1916
will run into unprecedented figures.
In the fourth quarter Of 1914, when
common dividends were altogether
suspended, total earnings were only
$1O,933, ITO and net income $6,345, 25S,
after charges and Expectations
amounting to $4,5SS,OOO had been
made. For the last quarter Of 1915
charges and depreciations, together
with other appropriations amounting
to about $10,3S0,0O0, were made, de-
spite which the net income Is larger
by over 900 per cent. than at the
close Of 1914.
The outlay involved in the disburse-
ment of the common dividend amounts
to $6,353,7S1. which with the regular
quarterly dividend of IL per cent on
the preferred stock makes total div
idend distribution for the quarter OF
s12,65S,7O1.
United States Steel common was the
all-pervading feature of the stock mar
ket, with an overturn Of aobut 1922
600 shares, or more than one-quarter
of the days total operations. Steel
opened at substantial advance over
the previous days close. made maxi
mum quotation Of S51a, and closed at
SAY, a net gain of full point.
Following the dividend announce
ment and publication of the quarterly
statement bids as high as So were
made.
