Where Results Are Close
Democrats on Alert.

New York, Nov. 11.-Woodrow Will
son has been reelected president OF
the United States.
California, which had wavered for
two days between Wilson and Hughes,
settled all doubt as to the outcome of
the election, when the lead of the
president was increased so that with
but few districts missing his plural
fly was 3,112. In New Mexico he took
the lead from Hughes and was 1884
votes ahead, with few districts un
reported. At the same time North
Dakota became sure for Wilson and
Wilson gains were reported in Mime
sofa and New Hampshire.
Election Upsets All Precedents.
The result of the election, which
was clouded by doubt and conflicting
reports for two days, has upset all
precedents in American politics. Will
son has been elected by Republican
states-states on which the G. o. P.
leaders counted so surely that they
took little trouble or expense to make
prediction fights within their bor-
ders.
Without New York or Illinois, which
declared decisively and Immediately
for Hughes, the Democrats found
enough strength in the middle and ex-
IRENE west to overcome the great
electoral votes Of these and many
other populous and important states.
Western States for Wilson.
Of the western states where a
Hughes victory was practically con-
ceded by Democrats, Hughes was vic
torious only in Oregon. In the mid
die west, Iowa and South Dakota only
voted for him.
New England's rock-ribbed Repub-
licanism also cracked under the
strain of the trend toward Wilson.
Republican pluralities of former years
dwindled until they almost disappear
ed In the case of New Hampshire,
which appears to have given Wilson
q plurality Of GO votes, it will require
an official count to decide the claim
OF the Republicans that their hold upon
q solid New England is still unbroken.
Women Vote Like Men.
From the general result it is clear
that as the men voted in the suffrage
states, so did the women. In Illinois
men and women seemed about equal
ly divided as to preference. The state
went for Hughes by big plurality.
In Kansas, Colorado, Montana, Utah,
Wyoming, Washington, Oregon and
California, where women also vote,
Wilson was successful, but his plu-
ralities were not sufficiently large to
indicate that the women voters sup
ported him as a unit.
One of the unusual, IL not unexpect-
ed features of the result, was that Mr.
Wilson lost his own state Of New
Jersey by more than $4,000 votes, los
ing his own town and his own dis
trict. The Democratic candidate for
United States senator from New Jer
sey, James A. MARITIME, went down
with the Wilson defeat.

REPUBLICANS MAY HAVE
217 VOTES IN THE HOUSE
Latest Returns Indicate Small Plural
ity Over Democrats-Mann Is
Candidate for Speaker.

Washington, Nov. 14-The Repub-
licans will have 217 votes in the next
Congress, according to the latest re-
turns available.
This is an increase of one in the
total Republican membership previ-
ously reported. The change is based
on reports from the sixth New Jersey
district showing the election of John
H. Ramsey, Republican, by plurality
of about $500 over Robert Heath,
Democrat
1t does not take into account a prob
able contest in the tenth North Caro-
lima district; the third New Jersey dis
trict where Thomas j. Scully, Demo
crat, claims to have been elected by
plurality of IA votes or the eleventh
Iowa or third Louisiana districts
where the pluralities are so small that
recounts are considered possible
The election of Mr.. Ramsey from
New Jersey and the consequent loss
of one Democrat from that state leaves
the Democratic membership of the
House at 212, as indicated by returns
thus far received. All other parties
have elected six members According
to present figures, the Republicans fall
one short of the 218 votes necessary
for working majority
AS matters now stand, the candi-
date of the Republicans for speaker
will be James R. Mann, present minor
ity leader. Speaker Clark generally
is regarded as the Democratic choice
to succeed himself. Already, how.
ever, there are rumblings of uncer.
tainties because of the close political
division.
Whatever happens, Republicans can
not control legislation in the next
Congress because the new senate will
be Democratic by safe working ma
jority of II. In this situation little
partisan legislation can be looked for
during the first part of the new Will
son administration. Because of this
administration leaders will exert every
possible effort to complete the Demo-
cratic legislative program before
March 4 next, when the Sixty-fourth
Congress will end.

Forget All Differences; Unite for
Common Service, Wilson's Plea

Williamstown, Mass, Nov. 13.-In a
speech here before several thousand
persons who came from nearby towns
to congratulate him on his reelection,
President Wilson said:
Il want to say that now the cam
paign is over we must think of only
one thing and that is not of parties,
but of the interest Of the great coun-
try we all love. Let us forget all our
differences and unite for common SER
vice. Only in that way can we work
for the great nation that has given us
liberty and peace.

ize larger appropriations by counties
desiring to enlarge the scope of their

in state development, we sincerely
urge communities and individuals to
continue to cooperate with 1T by FUR

their communities as to its resources

urge that the legislature of the state
be liberal in the granting of its appro-

of it's work.
Believing the conservation of game

adoption of legislation along this line.
Be it resolved that in view of the
! fact that the federal government has
established dams under the direction
of the war department for controlling
flood waters at the heads of rivers in
this state, we recommend that the
thousands of horse power now going
to waste over these dams be utilized
to furnish light and power for rural
communities and municipalities.
Be it resolved, that we reiterate
the resolutions heretofore adopted by
the association calling upon the state
to furnish dynamite at cost for land
clearing and road building.
Be it resolved, that this association
again recommends that law be pas
sed which provides that taxes on lands
should not be increased by virtue OF
it being cleared and put under cult

ing of the land by the settler increases
the value of the adjoining lands owned
by the state and by nonresident free
holders.
