NEW YORK, Nov. THE jury
is arriving at its verdict.
In every state in the Union, the
performances of the Wilson admin
istration today are being passed
upon by the supreme tribunal-the
people. on the decision will deter
mine whether there is TO be con-
tinuance in power in the nation OF
the democracy, headed by Woodrow
Wilson Of New Jersey, and Thomas
r. Marshall Indiana, or whether
republicanism is to place il in the
persons Of Charles Evans Hughes
and Charles w. Fairbanks as presi-
dent anC vice president
The actual voting began today
with both sides supremely confident.
At the last moment a wealth Of
Wilson money drove the betting
odds in New York and Chicago
down to 10 10, with Hughes still
favorite. and even money in many
instances.
New York voters are casting their
ballots rapidly, according to reports
tiers this morning.
ChaiTmen Talk.
The two national chairmen made
the following statements while the
votes are being cast:
William r. Wilcox, republican:
Mr.. Hughes will have at least
100 votes to spare in the electoral
college.
Vance Mccormick, democrat:
Late reports from the west in
dictate that 1 gave Mr.. Hughes too
many votes when 1 allotted him 20
in the electoral college. We are go
ing TO carry every one of the So
called doubtful states"
The influx of Wilson money in
the closing hours of the campaign
gladdened the Wilson followers.
7 hey saw in it an effort on the part
OF the professional betting element
TO hedge" their bets in the light Of
the latest reports of increasing SEN
timent in the west. Singularly
enough the Hughes supporters also
seemed well pleased with the change
in the betting odds. They agreed
that the Wilson followers had util-
lied every available dollar in a last
minute to swing the betting for the
effect il would have upon the voters.
and they argued that this action
had come too late. while the money
tied up could not be used against
them.
Two Candidates Vote.
The republican presidential candi-
date was one of the early birds at
the polls today. BY drawing ballot
No. 13-the lucky number of Pres't
Wilson-his followers declared that
he merely emphasized that he was
10 replace the president in his job.
He was in excellent form when he
reached the laundry which served
as a polling place. and smilingly
posed for the photographers and
exchanged jests with his newspaper
bOdyguard.

Print paper is thin, frail substance
on which newspapers are printed when
they can get it. 1t used to be as com
mon an article as the cclluloid collar,
but is now harder to obtain than the
on-stuttering spark plug.
Print paper is made Ill this country
with the aid of the German empire,
which furnishes several important in
gradients for which there is no substi-
tute except raising the subscription
price or swallowing some strangling
| competitor. This has caused q shortage
in the visible supply of print paper
which is causing thousands of harassed
publishers to figure on opening a truck
garden or learning the horseshoeing
trade.
The scarcity of print paper, however,

1t is amusing to hear the fans around
the bulletin board talking about the
present races in the major leagues as
the closest in the history of the game.
If memory serves us right the contests
IN 1908 were fairly close. Detroit and
Cleveland in the American league won
the same number of games, but De
troit, having lost one less, took the
championship. New York and Chicago
tied for the championship in the Ma
tional league and on the play-off Chi
cagO won Az. This was the year when
New York would have secured the
pennant but for the failure of Merkle
to touch second base at a time when
one of his teammates had gone home
from third on a long hit to the out
field. This game, which all of the
spectators thought New York mad won
was declared a tie, and in the extra
game Chicago was the winner.

Information to the American Board
bears out the terrible accounts of
horrors inflicted upon the wretched
Armcnians. They are by for the worst
sufferers from the war. Neither Bel
GUM, nor Poland, nor Serbia, terrible
as have been the sufferings of those
miserable people, has suffered any
thing like such an accumulation of
horrors as have been the lot of the
pitiable Armenians. 1t has been re
ported that the Turkish government
will permit relief to be sent to them.
The American Board is in position to
know the truth and to relieve the dis
tress probably better than any other
agency. If any people have benevo-
llent hearts, here is an opportunity for
worthy charity and there will be no
danger that the work of relief will
be overdone.

Some persons are lifting up their
hands in holy horror because the two
leading candidates, for the Republican
nomination in Vermont in the recent
primary campaign, according to their
sworn statements, spent over 100000
each. 1t is well to have the facts
known. In the good old days rich as
pirants for office used all the money
they pleased and said nothing about
their expenditures. We are not de-
Tending the recent expenditures, but
in this connection we wish the truth
could be told about the OUTLAWS made
by at least five men who succeeded in
landing the governorship within the
memory of men who do not consider
themselves old today.
