RUSSIA AND THE POLES
Imperial Consulate A, Seattle Emphas,
 iealIy penounees Report

A report having appeared lately m some German and American papers in the United States concerning the aneged intention of the Russian gov ernment of settling 8 million Poles
 in South America, the imperial con sulate at Seattle most emphatieallS and categorically declares that it Is nothing but malicious and obviously absurd invention. and only shows the incredible clumsiness of those who have started il. Any one can easily
 understand that, even putting aside higher consideration of friendship and
 duty to Poland. the alienation and loss
 of a million Poles would be entirely contrary to the interests of the gov ernment and the empire.
 The Russian consulate also declares
 that any persons who may have repre- sented themselves as agents of the Russian government for arranging this colonization must be considered as inn
 posters.

Hughes.

Wilson polled 24,321 to Hughes A.
$40, in 662 precincts out of 113S. Min
nesota is apparently lined up solidly
for Wilson, the president getting 30
924 votes to Hughes 26,375, in AIS pre-
cincts out of 1924. Fifty of these pre-
cincts are in Hennepin county, in

Wilson's managers are claiming

New York and Chicago papers, ear

Hughes, and large demonstrations
took place. Local Republicans en-
gagged the band to assist in their dem
onstratioH. About o'clock in the
morning returns from the doubtful
states began to show a strong Wilson
sentiment that was unsuspected ear
lier in the night, and by morning it
was clear that Wilson would succeed
himself at the White House.

Woodrow Wilson, president of the
United States, has been reelected. Re
turns received Wednesday morning in
dicated a turn in the trend which dur
ing the preceding evening had been
towards Justice Hughes, giving sever
al of the doubtful states to the presi-
dent. This morning he has, apparent
ly beyond question, ten votes more
than the 266 electoral votes necessary
to elect. In addition to this margin
of four, President Wilson is leading in
Michigan and New Jersey, two states
which were supposed to be solidly for
Hughes.
In Michigan, with reports from 705
precincts out of a total of 2260, Wilson
lead with $1,000 to Hughes 559S4. New
Jersey has given Wilson 198,6S7 and
Hughes 19035S in 1710 precincts out
of 1859 New Mexico will, apparently,
be lined up in the Wilson column, al
though in the 33S precincts reported
out of a total of 625, Wilson and
Hughes are running nearly even,
Hughes having at this time, a margin
of only ia votes
Delaware has been placed in the

also given to Hughes, who leads Will
sons 9,9,704 by but 1894 votes in the
572 precincts reported.
In California 1864 precincts gives
Wilson 60,734 and Hughes $4,000. The
trend there seems to be towards Will
son. Idaho has been placed in the
Wilson column, he being ahead of
Hughes by 200 votes of the first $4,000
counted.
The race in Connecticut is close,
1910 precincts giving Hughes 102 ,266
and Wilson 96,147. Indiana has been
conceded to Hughes. In this state he
had 184,179 against Wilson's 49, 1855,

SUGAR FACTORY PUTS
OUT FIRST PRODUCT
Local Stores Have on Exhibition Ini-
tial Output of Million Dollar Twin
Falls Plant.

Considerable interest has been
aroused during the past week among
the people of Twin Falls in the several
attractive exhibits in local grocery
and confectionery stores of the first
load of beet sugar to be turned out by
the Amalgamated Sugar company's
million dollar factory. The product
has every appearance of being up to
the highest standard, and much favor
able comment has been made on the
quality of the sugar. The new ma
chinery in the factory has delayed
somewhat the appearance of the first
product as considerable time was nee
essary to clean out all the pipes and
machines and get them in smooth run
ming order. This trouble has now
been overcome and it is expected that
the factory will soon be running at its
fullest capacity.
