ing and always looking for an excuse
TO make a noise.
There was no disorder at any time.
Police Inspectors O'Brien and Dryer
arrived at the square at o'clock in
the afternoon and each brought fifty
pstrolmen. Establishing their lines AZ
once, they never had trouble in con-
trolling the throng.
Noise of all sorts there was besides
the cheering. Cowbells--it seemed as
II every dairy on the Atlantic Coast
had been raided for the Jubilee. Horns
we're still more conspicuous, of al.
descriptions. from one urehin's cow
horn, procured only he knew where, 20
the paper article with the big voice.
The horns were numerous, sometimes
in twin sets-that is, reed and a
mouthpiece with tin horn at either
end.
Little Use for Extras
Newsboys with extras found little
business. despite the size OF the crowd.
This was partly because The Tribune
had already flashed the results of both
the Presidential and the gubernatorial
not in a mood nor place TO read. But
the lads we're not downcast-even they
were busy cheering.
Here and there a note Of disappoint-
ment was heard from some erstwhile
Wilson supporter. One ardent devotee
Of Democracy insisted loudly that The
Tribune must be wrong about Hughes
being elected. Here II is not half-past
seven yet" he argued. "You can't tell
that early. You have TO watch these
Republicans or they'll fool you"
The only real pessimist, however was
the man with the campaign buttons.
From two bits, quarter. % cents he
quickly dropped his price to dime and
then TO a mere "jitney," but there was
no market for his wares. The election
was over. Besides, buttons do not
make a noise. He admitted he had not
sold a single button in half an hour.
Photographers making pictures Of
the assemblage startled their subjects
more than once with the explosion Of
their flashlights. but recovery followed
at once and the startled ones were
quickest TO laugh at their own con-
fusion.
On his pedestal in front Of the City
Court Building Horace Greeley bent a
kindly ear, as if he we're trying TO
catch an echo OF the elections in which,
as editor of The Tribune, he had played
so mighty a part. And from across
Eas. River and beyond there shone the
full moon. its soft white rays paling
the effects of even the big searchlights.
The Man Up There appeared Indifferent
20 the result of the election. He
seemed, with his kindly smile, to beam
assurance that, Hughes or Wilson,
America would still be America.

RETURNS HOLD
CLUBS INTEREST
Enthusiastic Crowds Get
Figures Over Special
Wires

1t is doubtful IL there was ever
such keen interest and universal en-
thusiasm shown in New York's big
clubs about a Presidential election as
existed during at least four of the
hours from o'clock until midnight.
AS a matter of fact, the returns by
special wires and telephones trans
mitted 70 the various clubs and imme-
distely recorded on the bulletin boards
made it plain to the groups Of men,
bers gathered there long before 10
o'clock that Hughes had been elected.
The returns at the Republican Club
were electrically shown on a bulletin
board In the darkened hall of the Sec
ond floor. Henry c. Quinby, the sec
rotary of the club, speaking at $3.50 Of
the results thus far reported. said:
"The members were convinced of the
election of Mr.. Hughes as early as
1880 this evening. At this time there
is a feeling of complete satisfaction
with the returns so far received. There
is a feeling that the American people
has indicated itself"
Many at Republican Club
The Republican Club was thronged
all evening with many men high in the
Republican party Of the state and ma
ton. Among those present were
George r. Sheldon, formerly of the
national committee; Cornelius n. Bliss
its present treasurer, William R. Will
cox and Samuel W. Fairchild, former
president of the club.
John VI. Richie, president Of the
Democratic Club, surrounded by some
of the stanchest supporters of the club
and the party. was receiving returns
just before o'clock, when asked what
he thought of the situation at that
time. at certainly looks like Hughes, u
said he, "but have not yet given up
hope. In any event we shall stand by
the man who gets there"
John W. Keller, one of the steadfast
members Of the club. said: 81 can only
repeat the old adage, The Old Guard
dies. but never surrenders."
The New York Athletic Club was
thronged with eager seekers after cleo
ton returns, which were announce d
from bulletin on the second floor,
when Major Frank Keck, U. S. ", rep
resenting the general feeling OF many
of the members, early in the evening
said, at is my opinion that Hughes
will be elected"

Only the scrubwomen had an oppor-
tunity to see Mr.. Hughes leave the
Hotel Aston yesterday 70 help elect
himself President, and they only
shifted their pals a little, scarcely
troubling TO look as the future Presi-
dent stalked among them. Outside an

II was only ten minutes TO 7 then,
and Mr. Hughes, who had arisen at
5:45 and started for the polling place
before having breakfast, got there just
in time to get ballot No. Is.
'I'm not superstitious." he said smil-
ingly as he took it. "but if were

He voted a straight Republican
ticket. On the walk to the polling
place, which was at TIC Eighth Avenue,
between Forty-fourth and Forty-ffth
Streets. Mr.. Hughes was accompanied

two Secret Service men.
T. RS Auto Slips
Colonel Roosevelt's chauffeur drew
up at the Oyster Bay polling place like
cowboy arriving in town on payday
A rear wheel slipped over the curb %
the sidewalk, and a curious crowd
which had been waiting for hours 20
see the Colonel cast his vote scattered
hastily.
"For goodness sake, don't knock the
polling place over" the Colonel en-
treated. az don't want to he arrested
before vote"
That's all right, Colonel" shouted
Judge Duvall from the outskirts OF the
crowd. "l'll suspend sentence on you II
you are arrested"
In high good humor the Colonel and
his son, Archie, entered the building.
Here is where | perform the high

own stock and keep them out Of the
crops. The settlers along the streams
said that every man should fence his
crop and all should let their stock run.
SO they disputed and sometimes fought.
More settlers came in and the settle
ments spread rapidly west from the
Missouri river and away from the tim
Der along the streams. There were some
settlements where everyone wanted the
stock kept up and some where all wanted
the crops fenced. Laws began to b
passed that sheep and hogs should not
run at large. A little later laws were
passed that horses and cattle should
not run at large in the night. Then
laws we're passed making owners OF
stock liable for damages done by It in
certain counties only The people d.
vided into two parties. those who wished
to raise crops and those who wished to
raise stock. The dispute grew warm in
all the settlements.
Finally in the year 1870 20 many
thousand settlers were coming in that
the legislature met In special session at
the call of Governor Butler and passed
the first general herd law. Under II
everyone had TO keep his stock from
the crops OF other people or pay dam
ages, and anyone finding stock in his
crop might take IL up and hold II until
the damages were paid. This was called
the herd law" because the best way
found to keep stock from the crops was
to herd It. Some parts OF the state were
excepted from this law. The next year
the law was changed 30 that all the
state came under the herd law unless
the people OF a county voted to have q
fence law in that county.
This has been the law Of Nebraska
since 1871. II has made It possible for
poor people who could not fence to raise
crops and make homes on the prairie.
With this law the settler could plant a
crop anywhere and harvest all he could
raise. Without It he could harvest only
what he could protect from roaming
stock. No law has helped moro than
this one in the settlement OF our state
and although the need OF Il Is no longer
felt the good that it has done abides
with us, giving each man the right to
reap where he sows,
