Legal Fight Planned.
California, which had wavered for
two days between Wilson and Hughes
settled all doubt as to the outcome
OF the election late Thursday night,
when the lead Of the president was in
creased so that with but sixty-five dis
tricts missing his plurality was re-
ported at 3,112.
In New Mexico he took~the lead
from Hughes and was 1884 votes
ahead with 158 districts unreported.
At the same time North Dakota be-
came sure for Wilson and Wilson
gains were reported in West Virginia,
Minnesota and,New Hampshire.
When the news Of California's deci-
sion reached republican headquarters
in New York, the place was almost In
stantly deserted. There was talk OF
making contests and many lawyers,
headed by former Atty. Gen. George
w. Wickersham, have been engaged
TO take all possible legal steps to fight
for Hughes to the last trench.
All Precedents Upset.
The result of the election, which
was clouded by doubt, has upset all
precedents in American politics.
Wilson, apparently, has been elected
by republican states-states on which
the republican leaders counted SO
surely that they took little trouble OF
expense to make prediction fights
within their borders.
Without New York or Illinois, which
declared decisively and Immediately

Philosophy Of Life
BY Otto III. Rowland
(The Uncle Walt Mason Of Baca Count,

(The Uncle Walt Mason Of Baca County,
If YOU would make a success of
life, as every one of us ought,
you've got TO wade into the toll
and strife, where the thick Of the
battle is fought; you've got to
climb up in this life, my friends,
or else you are sure to slide
down; from peak to peak from
height to height, climb up from
level to heigher ground. The
way may be rough ard full of
stones, and anyone's apt to slip,
out the thing to do is to get up
again, and take a tirmer grip.
