Looks Like Hughes
$4,000 inKentucky
SPLENDID OLD-TIME MAJORITY
FOR DEMOCRACY
Helm Wins By Over $500 and All
Counties of Eighth District
Show Up Fine.

And there stood old Kentucky, re-
turned to an old-time Democratic
majority, which the COurier-Journal
early Wednesday morning said
would be $4,000 for Wilson. Not
withstanding the falling off of Louis
vile and jefferson county, which on
ly returned a majority for Wilson of
about 500, other districts did their
part nobly, and a splendid majority
was rolled UP.
Helm An Easy Winner.
Congressman Harvey Helm was re-
turned to the lower House from this
the Eighth district by a majority
which is over $500, and may go
larger than the official vote is in. Ev-
cry county in the Eighth district
showed up with an increased demo-
cratic majority.
The palm must be awarded to Con-
gresham Arthur Rouse's 9Th district
however, which showed up surpris-
ingly well with 10000 majority, the
greatest it has ever given in its his
tory. Rouse is a splendid fellow In
every way and deserves a large part
of the credit for this fine work.
All of the nine democratic con-
gressmen from Kentucky are re.
elected and the republicans as well
from the tenth and eleventh districts
The vote by counties as far as the
l. j. could obtain it by wire up to
10 O'Clock Wednesday morning
was as follOps.

gressives had been marked and
which gave the Democrats hope of
making big gains, indicate rather
complete amalgamation of the two
factions.
Early indications gives Hughes
the State of New York by $4,000
to 100000.
The first three counties in Ken
lucky to report, Woodford, Mont
gomery and Carroll, gave increased
democratic majorities.
On the early returns from Kan
sas, victory for Hughes at greatly
decreased republican majority, is in
dictated.
Reports from all counties in Ken
lucky show that President Wilson
carried the state bv $4,000.
Claims put out by the Republican
headquarters in New York at mid
night, included only 254 votes. How
ever, they declared enough electoral
votes would be received. 1t looks
nightly close.
Illinois and Indiana have failed to
indicate just how they will go. Both
sides claim them, but Hughes, APP
parently, has a safe lead.
Western states have shown much
more strength for Wilson than be-
lieved possible, and may turn the
tide.
The Sixth Congressional district
gave Wilson a majority of 10000
over Hughes.
/ All present Kentucky Congress
men reelected. Rouse, of the Sixth
district got biggest majority accord
ing to present reports.
Meager returns from st. Louis
give Wilson lead over Hughes and
Wilson still leads in Cincinnati. Re-
turns indicate that both have heavy
German vote.
| Two-thirds of precincts out side
of City of New York, give Hughes
lead of 100000.
Three hundred fifty-two precincts
in Massachusetts, including nearly
all those in Boston, give Wilson a
lead of 100000.
/ At 10 o'clock last night, the states
where little information has come
from the election of the next presi.
dent list the doubtful states are: IL
linois, Idaho, Indiana, Maine, Iowa
Kansas, Minnesota, Nevada, Michi
gan and West Virginia.
Wilson leads by 1882 in Missouri
with 1924 out of 3469 precincts
only 131 out of 500 in St. Louis, be-
ing counted.
Fifty-four out of 1913 precincts ir
Minneapolis gives Wilson 1925
and Hughes 7,163 votes. The gov
ernor of Minnesota was reelected
by less than one-half of Wilson's.
Pittsburg gives Hughes more thar
5000 majority.
Wilson carried Oklahoma by 5000
Montana with 800 out of 1899 pre-
cincts heard from give Wilson a ma
jority of 1880.
New Mexico with six precinct
missing, give Wilson 338, Hughe
236.

Wednesday, 1 80 a. m, Nov. g.:
Latest dispatches from Louisville
and Cincinnati to the |. j., indicate
that the race for the Presidency is
very close between Wilson and
Hughes with the odds decidedly in
favor of Hughes. The Republican
National Committee is claiming
Hughes election with $50 electoral
votes. Vance Mccormack, Demo-
cratic National Chairman, however,
refuses to concede the election OF
Hughes and claims that Wilson has
won.
Returns were very hard to obtain
from any of the doubtful states up
to an early hour. While 1t is ac-
knowledged that Hughes has carried
New York, Indiana and Illinois are
claimed by both sides, but with the
chances favoring Hughes. The Dem
ocratic leaders say that Wilson has
shown surprising strength IN the
western states and that he will show
up with enough votes in them to
pull him through.
However, all indications point to
the election of Hughes as the next
president, though the complete vote
from the states which are missing
may cause a change. Wilson showed
unexpected strength in such states
as Kansas and California and may
have a chance to carry both when
full returns are in.

Look At Lincoln
MAGNIFICENT MAJORITY FOR
WILSON AND HELM
Republicans Are Showed Under Here
By Splendid Majority of
336 Votes.

If all the rest of the country had
acquitted itself as well as old Lin
coin, there would have been moth
ing to it but Wilson everywhere.
The largest democratic vote ever
polled in a presidential race and al
most a record breaker from a demo-
cratic standpoint was polled Tues
day and Wilson carried the county
by 336 votes, splendid majority.
When it is recalled that Wilson's
majority over the combined TAFT ana
Roosevelt vote in this county in 1912
was less than so, it will easily be
seen what a splendid race the Pres
ident ran here. In every precinct
in the county the democratic vote
showed a tremendous gain, except
at Highland, where the the republi-
cans made their sole gain in the coun-
ty. Few county races, where the
most excitement is usually found in
an election, ever caused as much in
terest as this presidential race.
Congressman Harvey Helm ran
right along with the president in the
county and if anything, perhaps will
exceed his vote slightly when the Of
fetal returns are in.
The largest vote for a Socialist
candidate ever polled in this coun-
ty was cast for Benson, the Social
list candidate for president at Row
land, where he got % votes.
The unofficial vote of all the pre-
cincts in Lincoln county as phoned
in to the |. J. office after the polls
closed Tuesday afternoon, is as fol

CarIess Use of
Soap Spoils the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully,
il you want to keep your hair looking
its best. Most soaps and prepared
sF1ampoos contain too much alkali.
This dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle, and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is just
ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil (Which
is pure and greaseless), and is better
than themost expensive soap or any
thing else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub 1t
in II makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather. which rinses out cas-
lily, removing every particle of dust,
dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and it
leaves the scalp soft. and the hair fine
than the most expensive soap or any
easy to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and
a few ounces will supply every MEM
ber of the family for months.-Adver-
tisement.
