The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1916-11-09

Missouri is running close Kentucky
seems to have been won for Wilson
Illinois, where approximately 500.
GOO voters were counted upon to carry
the state for Wilson because of the
peace sentiment played up by the
presidents supporters, is conceded Re.
publican by Democratic managers by
100000.
. House and Senate Democratic.
With forty-nine congressional dis
tricts to be heard from the returns for
the next house show that 1913 Demo
Gratis, 189 Republicans, two Progress
sives, one Socialist and one Indepen-
dent have been elected. This shows
the Republican and scattering to be
tied with the Democrats already elect
ed. OF the 40 missing districts, 80 are
Democratic, IS Republican and one
Independent in the present house.
Late returns from Ohio indicating
the reelection of Senator Alice Pom
creme, Democrat, over Myron T. Her
rick, Republican, virtually ended the
possibility of Republican ascendency
in the senate. With Democratic lead
ers insisting that Hitchcock in Ne
braska and Pittman in Nevada have
been reelected, and with Kendrick
probably elected in Wyoming, thu
political status of the new senate
would thus be, Democrats, 50; Repub-
licans, ~, with the result of Arizona
and New Mexico still in doubt. Should
the Republicans carry both, the Demo
cratic majority in the senate would be
eight.

SOCIALISTS CLAIM GAIN
Elected Mayor of Minneapolis and
Several State Legislators.

Carl d. Thompson, national man
ager OF the Socialist party, in a state
ment in Chicago said:
''In 1912 the Socialist party polled
100000 votes. This election the re
turns show that we have polled about
100000. While this gain of the total
vote cast by our party is not as great
as we had hoped for, we are satisfied
with the general result.
eve believe we have elected about
% members of the legislatures in y
states. In Minneapolis We elected our
candidate for mayor, Thomas H. Van
Lear. In Milwaukee we appear to
have elected the district attorney and
perhaps the sheriff.
''In California we elected two mem
bers of the state legislature. In Wis
consin two Socialist candidates for
state senator and five or seven mem.
bers of the legislature were success
full.
I'm Vermont we elected one mem.
Der of the legislature. This is the first
time a Socialist has ever been elected
in that state.
eve expected to elect seven or
eight congressman, but apparently, we
have elected none"

We notice in the Postmaster Gen.
erals report a suggestion that people
writing letters should sign their full
name and address to their letters. and
there would never be a letter but what
could be returned if it failed to reach
the person it was intended for. The
report suggests better way than that,
too, but one which is little more ex-
pensive. That is to have a small card
printed on the corner OF the envelope.
This will cost only trifle and if the
letter cannot be delivered to the ad-
dress, or the address should be wrong,
the letter would come back IN the course
of five to seven days, instead of going
through the dead letter office, and
finally being returned to the writer
after lapse of two weeks or more.
The latter suggestion is much the best,
and can be adopted at very small ex-
pense.
