INSURANCE
 SHOWS STRENGTH

some of which companies have been do-
 ing business since 1864, 1870 and 1871.
 In making any comparison between the results accomplished by companies or ganized in the south with those of other companies throughout the remainder of the country, it must be realized that the southern organizations are for the most part of comparatively recent origin, and that the average of the aggregate of years during which these 59 companies have been in existence is only nine.
 Of the companies organized outside of the southern states, there are 92 which have carried on business for nine years or more. Compared with the figures given above \ of southern life insurance companies, the aggregate of the amount of business, which these 92 companies had in force at the end of their ninth year was, according to the figures pub llshed by the Spectator company, $265,- 711,7 ,7o6 while the combined assets of such companies at the same period of their existence were $39, ,353,9S3. Such com parison cannot be otherwise than most satisfactory to those who are believers ir the possibilities for southern insur- ance companies
 Failure of success of any business or ganization, whether of life insurance or of any other industry, is not governed by geographical location, but can almost invariably be traced to some fundamental cause, such as poor judgment, unsound principles, undue expense, extravaganza or improper administration expenses.
 The keynote of the whole situation with regard to the successful carrying on of the business of a life insurance company was struck by one of the southern in- surance commissioners in a report made to his state some years ago, when he said: The size of a company does not add to the safety of it from the policy holders standpoint, and, from the eXpe- rience of the past does not give him insurance at any lower cost. All de- bends upon the mana cement"
 Honesty and integrity of management is absolutely necessary to the success ful building up of any business insti- tuition, and more particularly of a life insurance company.
 The records of numbers of companies including those in the south which were established in the past, are monuments to the integrity and business acumen of their founders, and, given similar in tegrty and business-lil1e methods nc satisfactory reason can be deduced why the companies of more recent origin should not prove equally successful more particularly in view of the fact that the safeguards which are thrown around the business of life insurance Tn the interests of policy holders are far greater now than they were half century or more ago.
 These records refer to those companies only known as old line or legal reserve companies, and do not in any way in- clude assessment companies or fraterna societies.

Increases in the leads of Hall and Wilkinson and change in the layout on the house of representatives lur- nished the chief items of interest in connection with the county vote yes terday. The precincts reported slowly, and as the returns came in, a hun- ured scoreboardS were erected. each q ving a new result. On the basis of the best Obtainable returns, however, the republicans have elected Green and Baxter to the lower house, with chance, when a big Gilbert count Is released for publication, of put ung Dobson up among the winners. Galbraith's apparent lead of the day before yesterday was cut down some what, and Dobson, like Galbraith Q southsider, became the white hope of the republicans to displace one demo- crat.
 Two different counts, one made up by The Republican on 73 precincts and one by the county committee on about 75 precincts, give different re- suits to the Allen-Webb race. The lesser count shows Allen leading Webb by 5Ss1 to 5643. The other total gives Allen 6130 and Webb 619S The disparity in the figures is due to the fact that in the first count three precincts gave but partial returns on this office.
 Ex- Senator Harry A. Davis last night conceded the election of both Hall and Wilkinson and predicted that the Maricopa delegation to the lower house would consist of two re- publicans and four democrats.

 NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-Congressional election returns which were nearly completed tonight, assure President Wilson in the forthcoming administra- tion. democratic senate, but, with five districts still undecided, the best that the democrats could claim at midnight was a plurality of four votes in the house.
 Upon the basis of revised returns the democrats have elected 215 members of the house and the republicans 2l1. In addition, there nave been elected one independent. one socialist, one pro- pressive and one progressive -protec- tionist Four districts in West Vir- ginia, two of them normally demo- cratic. and two republican, and one dis trict in New Mexico, are still unde- cided If these districts do not change the democrats will have PIT and the republicans 214, plurality of only three As there will be four members of other minority parties a working majority for the democratic is i'm probable unless some of the minority members should choose to cast their lot with the administration forces.
 The senate according to latest figures, will consist of 54 democrats and AZ republicans, majority of F. The democratic majority in the pres ent senate is 16. The only develop ment in the senatorial situation today was strongly indicated by the election of A A. Jones, the democratic candi- date in New Mexico. who was leading his republican opponent, Frank A. Hub bell, by majority, which democratic leaders regarded as safe.
 An unusual feature of the result is the (. ion of the first woman to con- gress. f'is Jeannette Rankin, repub- lican, apparently having been elected in Montana.
 Until late hour the democrats had plerality of six and a possible ma jority of one, but revised returns from New Jersey, indicating the defeat of Representative Thomas J. Scully changed the result. Scullv apparently has been defeated by Robert Carson republican,

 v0TES MISSING

With both state chairmen with their pencils poised over reams and reams of paper and authentic returns coming in with exasperating slowness, the race for the governorship of Arizona re- mained in question last night.
 Campbells majorities, estimated the night before, did dwindle, but Chair man Maddock remained confident at midnight that there would be a lead for his candidate when the finals were sent in. "I can make no statement" he said. There are so many small precincts out, and reports are changing so rapidly, that it is impossible to give any figures"
 Chairman Stoneman was more con- fident, or less cautious about his words. q claim Hunts election by 146 votes-based on very reliable re- turns. Not counted in my figures is the vote in the north of Mohave coun- ty, beyond the Coloraoo rivera vote that Homer Wood of Prescott informs me is normally democratic, and will add between 200 and 400 to the Hunt majority If this is the case, there is no question about the reelection of the administration
 The Republican is in possession of practically 1ull returns from but four out of IA counties-Maricopa, Gila, Pima and Santa Cruz. All other fig ures are either supplied by campaign managers in the various county seats. or are based on estimates, and cannot be accepted as entirely reliable.
 The most reasonable state compila- ton was secured by means of wires to prominent political observers in every county, and comes through a semi-of- ficial democratic source. ' This table would give Hunt a lead of but 45 votes in the state, with at least 65 precincts, aggregating 500 votes yet to be heard from Corrections applied to this ta- ble from the authentic returns in the four counties above mentioned, change the result and give Campbell a lead of 300 votes. The corrected table is as follows:

and charges of irregularity made it plain that even should the doubtful states claimed by the Wilson man. agers fall into the Hughes column the democrats would be slow to concede the election because of the small mar gins in some of the states leaning to Hughes. Indiana whose fifteen votes have been conceded to the republicans since last night, had cut the Hughes lead to about 5000 with returns still incomplete. In West Virginia also the Hughes margin grew less.
 Leaving Minnesota New Hamp- shire, New Mexico and West Virginia in the doubtful column, the electoral college tonight gave Wilson 269, Hughes 235, and left 27 doubtful
 The possibility of President Wilson winning with California was compli- cated by predictions that he would not get all of the electors from the state, which split them four years ago. MT. Wilson could not lose more than three of California's l3 electors without get ting below the electing ma jority of 266. With a split electorate from Cal ifornia, the president would be forced to turn to some of the doubtful states to make up the loss.
 If Mir. Hughes takes all the doubtful states, he still will need four of Cali fornia's electors to get his 266.
 In an official statement the demo- cratic national committee claimed 272 votes for President Wilson and a pop ular plurality of from 200, 1000 to 300. 900

 It probably will still be another day before the full results are known from any of the four states left in the doubtful column, and certainly not un- til there has been an official count 1T New Hampshire and possibly in Min nesota. As MT. Hughes is leading in , Minnesota and West Virginia and a change in these states could in no wise affect the result there may be no de- mand for extraordinary haste to bring about the recent demanded.
 Virtually all the states where the result is close are carried in the Hughes column. For that reason th' democrats profess to be not apprehen- sive that any overturning could come from a recount
