HOUSE HINGES
ON NEW MEXICO
Parties Now Tied with 215
Votes Each-Missing
District to Decide

with returns missing last night from
only one Congress district in the United
States. the Republicans and Democrats
each had elected 2i5 Representatives.
The vote in New Mexico, which is still
in doubt, probably will determine which
party is to have plurality Of one over
the other. The present member from
New Mexico is a Republican.
The balance of power in the next
House will be held by four men, one
Progressive protectionist from Louisi-
ana, one an Independent from Massa-
chusetts, one Progressive from MIN
nesota and the other a Socialist from
New York. Their action apparently
will determine the choice OF Speaker
as we'll as the fate Of legislation when
is supported or opposed upon purely
party lines.
Hope for Democrats
In addition to the hope of electing a
Congressman large from New Mex
leo. the Democrats had one grain OF
comfort tonight. II was that an ON
cial count may disclose that Thomas j..
Scully has been reelected from the 30
New Jersey District. They cohtended
the chances were that Scully had been
the victor by a few votes over Robert
Carson, his Republican opponent, to
whom the election previously had been
conceded by a narrow margin.
The following are the changes et-
fected by late returns in the compost
ton OF the next House of Representa-.
tives, as announced in The Tribune OF
yesterday: Iowa elects eleven Repuo-
lican Representatives instead OF ten
Republican and one Democrat. One IN
dependent is elected from Massachu-
sets, one Progressive from Minnesota
and one Socialist from New York.
West Virginia elects four Republican
and two Democratic Representatives.

Their leaders went to Hughes. But
the folks in the West refused to fol-
low. They would vote for man and
a party that they despised before vot-
ing fo- a party that they distrusted.
And they are now conscious OF their
strength. They realize that with the
direct election of United States Sem
ators and the power to levy income
taxes they have efficient weapons in
their hands. They have no desire to
use their power unjustly. But they
do not shrink from using 1t to the full
for the realization of their ideals.
Stanch for Ten Years
Ten years is long time to hold to
an ideal. And for ten years, under
the political administration of two
parties, the West has held fast to the
belief that men must get more nearly
what they earn, and must earn by
actual social service more nearly what
they get, than men get and earn to-
day. That is the spirit of American
ism which they rally to. And they
heard but little of the voice of that
spirit in their campaign just past.
Yet the West did not forget. 1t
stood by it's banner, and out of the
West this year come Hiram Johnson,
Poindexter and La Toilette to join the
half dozen other Progressive Republi-
can Senators and make a powerful
group in the next Congress with which
the President and the country must
reckon,
There are fine fighting days ahead,
and the Wall Street ticker may well
hiccough itself into spasms. 1t has
seen its best days.

HUGHES LEADS BY 543
IN MINNESOTA COUNT
Guardsmen and absent Voters
Will Decide Outcome

St. Paul. Nov. Returns from all
but thirty-six precincts out of 3.Oi2 in
Minnesota decreased the lead Of
Charles f. Hughes to SAB votes. The
decision in this state will depend not
only on the missing districts but also
on the votes of the 2,l00 nations
euardsmen on the Mexican border and
the ballots of railroad and travelling
men. who may vote under the absent
voters law. An unofficial report on the
militia vote gave Hughes a plurality OF
ZOO. but this vote will not be counted
until November 10.
These indications would give the
states twelve electoral votes TO the Re-
publican candidate, but the state re-
NAMED in the doubtful list tonight
The latest returns from 800 precincts
out of 3.046 gave Hughes 1869, Will
son 17S,212.
OF the missing precincts ten are IN
Koochiching County and twelve in Bel
trami II is estimated that it will take
three or four days to hear from the
former, and nothing is expected from
the latter before Monday. Both coun-
ties are believed to favor Wilson, but
their population is small. Eight miss
ing precincts are in Aitken, fairly pop
ulous and inclined toward Hughes.
The uncertainty of Minnesota's final
verdict was increased to-day when the
lead Hughes had last night of 700 votes
was gradually cut down. With forty
six precinct missing, Hughes had 1855
more than Wilson. Then it dropped TO
500 when ten more districts were
counted. 1t went as low as 4s7 this
afternoon. and then gradually increased
beyond the 500 mark.

CANVASS NAY SPLIT
CALIFORNIA ELECTORS
Only Official Tally Will Reveal
Result in Golden State

San Francisco. Nov. 10.-Official can
vass of the entire vote of California
will be required to determine whether
there will be split on the Presiden-
tial result in this state. 1t will rest
upon the difference between the lowest
tally on the Democratic list and the
highest tally on the Republican group.
The point was taken up to-day at d
conference at Republican headquarters
among campaign managers, including
Chester II. Rowell, chairman Of the Re
publican State Committee, and Ray
mond Benjamin, chairman of the State
Executive Committee.
In San Francisco the tally shows tina.
the difference between the lowest DEM
ocratic and the highest Republican
elector reduces the semi-offcial plural
ity by 397 votes. Were this ratio to be
maintained throughout the state the
change would have important bearing
upon the final result. The law pro
vides that the thirteen candidates for
electors who receive the highest vote
shall be declared elected, whether or
not they are Of the same political
party.
There are few changes in the semi
official figures of the last twenty-four
hours, the President maintaining his
lead Of between 5000 and 1000.

WILSON RETAINS 1881
LEAD IN NEW MEXICO
With About 5000 Votes Unre-
ported, Victory Seems Certain.

Santa Fe. n. NJ, Nov. 1O.-President
Wilson continued 20 hold the advantage
in New Mexico tonight, with forty
seven precincts out of 63S missing. The
vote stood: Hughes. 2s,sS0; Wilson,
81, 16l, Wilson plurality OF 2,2sl votes.
The total vote OF the missing districts
is estimated at 5000. so that the state
three electoral votes probably will fall
70 Wilson.
Twenty-Five Of the missing precincts
are in Socorro and twenty in Rio Ar
rba counties. both Republican. A few
are missing in Torrance, where the
eleven precincts that have reported
give Hughes plurality OF l43 votes.
The other precincts are regarded as
evenly divided between the Democrats
and Republicans. Most OF the missing
districts are in the most isolated part
OF the state, one being ITO miles from
the county seat, with no railroad IA
oilities.

WILSON 1000 AHEAD
IN NORTH DAKOTA
Districts To Be Heard From Ex-
pected to Increase Plurality
tEv Telegraph TO The Tribune.


Fargo, n. D., Nov. 10.-The plurality
Of President Wilson in North Dakota
was maintained tonight in the later
returns from outlying sections. With
only twenty-five districts out of 1859
missing, the President had lead Of
1900 votes. He had increased his lead
by 100 votes in eight districts. The
remaining districts not reported are
in the most remote parts of North
Dakota, and the count may not be re-
ceived for a day or two.
North Dakota, however. had practi-
cally been conceded to Wilson by Re-
publican leaders last night. 1t was
then estimated that the districts yet TO
be heard from would strengthen the
Presidents plurality.

Nation" Sees Election as
Peace News"
Praises Him

London, Nov. 10.-The reelection Of
President Wilson is welcomed by "The
Weekly Nation" as an event favorable
both to peace and to the cause Of state
liberty, and the paper thinks that his
election offers hopes of an earlier end
to the war agony than any nation en-
during it can yet foresee. William
Henry Massingham, the editor, re-
ferring to President Wilson, says;
"The resources of the European
craftsmanship are not so rich nor are
it's personalities so inspiring that it
can readily dispense with an acute,
powerful and in some degree pro-
phetic intellect at the head of the
greatest power that the war has left

This summer in June the leadership
of the Progressive party was in the
East. and the leadership misunderstood
the sincere determination OF the west
lust at the time when Colonel Roose-
Welt was led into a position from which
he could not extricate himself, with
honor to hisNcountry, save by a SAD
and desperate personal sacrifice. lie
made it, and the stage management oil
the Progressive convention gave the
country tragedy. But the men who
staged it sincerely believed that the
great sacrifice was needed to save the
country from shame.
The group responsible for this scene
shifting in the Progressive convention
of 1916 meant well. They had the ma
tons honor at heart. The men re-
sponsible for the Republican conven-
ton of 1912 also meant well. They also
thought the dominance of the Western
spirit of social adventure that had bred
insurgency and party rebellion would
hurt America So they played their
cards shrewdly and ruthlessly, and the
Republican party went to a brave and
terrible defeat.
Loss of Party in Struggle
And now what has either group
gained? To what end has all the
scheming come? In the four years
since 1912 most of the things so Bit
terly opposed by those who renomi-
mated Mr.. Taft are written into our
Federal laws and our national policies
All the reactionary clamor and tumult
are as a tale that is told. So, indeed
are the vain efforts to turn the tide OF
thought of the people from social AMI
economic progress this year.
The West remembers its aspirations
for a better, broader Americanism, and
it feels consciously that the first quail
ity of that Americanism shall be n
nearer approximate OF justice between
man and man. economically and politi-
cally, than now exists.
The West feels that IL must have q
country worth fighting for before il.
considers too intimately the details u
the fight. Doubtless this view is paro-
chial. Doubtless it is wrong. But IL is
the way the West feels, and when the
East talks too much Of the fight for
Americanism, the West, which will fur
nish the soldiers for the fighting
quickly enough, demands that the East,
through social and economic changes
wide and deep, shall furnish something
besides publicity for the fight.
West Stood by Ideals
So the gloomily gallant fight for
Americanism failed TO make the West
forget its ideals and aspirations for q
better country.
Just ~ we elected Democratic
President in 1912, because of Republi-
can chicanery, il is evident now that
the spirit OF the West remains un-
changed to-day, in spite of the futile
efforts Of the leaders Of progressive
movement.
The opportunity TO vote as they
wished to vote was taken from n great
body of men when the Progressive
party quit business. But they would
not vote with those who disturbed the
aspirations OF the people. Not even
the issue Of national honor swayed
these Western political crusaders.
Disheartened and ashamed. but with
unbroken spirits and mistaken convic-
tions, these people voted for Wilson.

LABOR FIGHTS
FOR THE REPEAL OF
ANCIENT BLUE LAW

Newark, N. 1.-THE Essex Trades
Council has begun a campaign to Sc.
cure the abilition of the vice and i'm
morality law of 1897, known as one of
the blue laws, on the ground that it
was not only barbarous and an
tiquated, but defeats the ends for
whirh it was framed, and more en-
courages than prevents crime. The
councils committee on political action
is snow handling the matter.
Under the act referred to it is Grim
inal for boys to play baseball game
on Sunday in the city parks. Orches-
ira concerts in hall are illegal.
Theatres must remain closed.
1t is pointed out by the labor men
that the old statute works havoc, es.
pecially among the youth. Denied the
right to vent their energies in a game
of ball or by other contests and sports
in the municipal parks and squares,
boys, it is shown, will frequently go
into some alley and shoot craps"
The campaign to have the musty
statute repealed will be carried on
during the fall election with great
vigor,
