turns still are incomplete the situ-

President Wilson can win with

California and Minnesota. or either
one and in addition both North Da-

''Penn-Harris" Likely to
Be Name of New Hotel

Details of management and other
important particulars of Harrisburg's
new million-dollar hotle are being
whipped into shape by the board of
directors. Several conferences have
been held during the last few days
and 1T is expected that important an
nouncements will be made within the
week. While no definite decision had
been made as to a name the directors
seem to be favorable to the sugges-
tion of "Penn-Harris'' which was sug-
gested by several persons. This name
comprehends the Commonwealth and
the city by the inclusion of the names
of the founders.
With the building of two large
structures. the new high school and
the hotel. building operations will be
given good start in this city after
the first of January. other projects
are also under consideration which in
dicate a lively building year.

In Minnesota the most dramatic
race of all was being run hour by
hour. During yesterday President
wilson's lead of 10000 slowly melted
down before the Hughes vote from the
rural districts, until it was wiped out
Then the Wilson votes began coming
IN again only to be offset by Hughes
burst, and so the contest whip sawed
all night with first one ahead and then
the other Early this morning with
about 500 precincts unreported Hughes
was ahead with less than 1000.
Mr.. Wilson had a lead of over a
thousand votes on the latest returns
from North Dakota with nearly 200
districts unreported. Both party lead
ers claimed the election.
with the count half in from New
Mexico, Mr.. Hughes had a margin of
less than 800 votes over President Will
son. Returns from far outlying dis
tricts are expected to come in slow
ly.
Washington Democratic
The latest returns from Washington
early to-day apparently carried that
State into the Democratic column.
President Wilson had lead of over
5000 votes on the latest figures with
about 500 districts missing.
Idaho was taken from the doubtful
column at an early hour and again
given to President Wilson, who had a
lead of over 1900 votes on the last
returns. Less than 200 districts have
not reported.
Mr.. Hughes has lead of over $500
votes on the returns early to-day
from West Virginia, with only about
400 districts unreported.
Returns from the missing districts
in the doubtful States were anxiously
sought by the campaign managers at
both Democratic, and Republican
Headquarters to-day. Both sides
claimed the election of their respective
candidates and 1T was evident that
plans were being made to demand re-
counts and in some cases to carry the
contests into the courts.
Rccounts Appear Probable
Numerous conferences were held at
both headquarters and there were I'M
confirmed reports that Chairman VIII
liam r. Wilcox of the Republican Ma
uonal committee after talking over
the situation with the Hughes leaders
had advised national committeeman in
certain States to engage counsel in
event that recount proceedings might
be instituted.
1t was commonly reported that re-
count proceedings will be instituted in
all doubtful States. Chairman Vance
G. Mccormick, of the Democratic Ma
tonal committee. following his or
der to the chairmen in the various
doubtful States to guard the ballot
boxes and protect the count, engaged
special counsel to assist the national
committee in any legal steps II may
desire to undertake.. Chairman Mo
Cormick did not make any charges of
fraud but said he desired to be in a
position to take any legal action that
might be necessary Quo warranto
proceedings looking to a recount in
New Hampshire are already under
way.
Chairman Wilcox declared himself
confident that Mr.. Hughes had been
elected. 1--WE only ask what is fair. .

BACHELORS.

What is leap year doing to cut down
the supply of eligible bachelors? Ten
years ago it was said that the proper
ton of bachelors to married men was
tremendously on the increase, and the
large number of bachelor apartments
going up to the cities was held out as
proof. 1t may be that the rural dis
tricts and the small towns have found
the secret of loves SUCCESS. ..whiSh is
being overlooked in the cities. Maybe
the city man is so busy lodging the
cars and the confidence men that the
love god hasn't chance to aim at him.
Nevertheless ii is fact that the small
town is once more acknowledged the
hope Of the nation. The fact that leap
year comes once every now and then
is the sole balm Of the city. When
the year arrives when men no longer
propose but are proposed to the crop
of maidens dwindles somewhat, and it
is up to the economists to find a way
to even things up-to make the women
go more in one year than the men
can in three. It's a nice little problem
and we suggest, as possible solution
more visits to the country where the |
air isn't made up of smoke, gasoline
fumes, the smell of orange peels and |
the roasting of coffee, and where the
sun comes down through leafy covers
instead of fighting to get through the
smoke stacks and sky-scrapers of the
city streets. Love is always on the job
and all he wants is a chance and cou-
pie of prospects.

THE NEW FARMER.

1t used to be said a few years ago
that the county fair as an institution,
was on the decline in the United States
but the county fair seems to be "com-
ing back" and coming back strong.
The annual report of the county fair
managers association, Just published,
shows that 1915 was banner year.
There was hardly fair in the United
States which did not show a profit to
the agricultural society or association
which managed it. And as to the
state fairs, they were record break
ers. Kansas made the experiment of
free gate" and the experiment was
success for in spite of almost con-
tinual rain the attendance was the
largest in years. Several reasons are
gi'en for gae general ,,ccess of-sll
fairs The almost universal use of
the automobile and the consequent
egSe with which the iafnes ard his
family can can get irrrl one part If
ihl county, see the ialr and set back
tie same day, is one reason advanced.
But the real reason. ANA the encour-
aging sign of modern trend is the fact
that the farmer has avokercd to the
fact that the county fair can teach
him something and he is eager to
learn. The old-fashioned, hide bound
agriculturist, the Jay" of the comic
papers, the "hayseed" of the stage,
has disappeared, and in his place has
come shrewd business man, alive to
improvements, willing to learn new
and better ways, and ready to put
modern methods to the test. He is
the prosperous farmer of today, the
man the banker is ready to back and
the man who sees in the county fair
chance to learn something which will
improve his condition in life.
