Church
One OF states Leading Preachers.
Rev. Or. Mcdaniel is one of the best
known Baptist preachers in the State
During the prohibition campaign OF
1914 he took a leading part. making
numerous addresses in various parts
OF the state. He came to this city
several years ago from Dallas. Tex
In that State he also was n leading
worker for prohibition.
Several weeks ago DIR. Mcdaniel ten
1ered hts resignation as pastor OF the
First Baptist Church here stating as
his reasons that his congregation was
getting out of tune with him and that
he felt he could be OF greater service
and more useful in another field. He
finally yielded to the great pressure
brought on him both by his own church
and the people of Richmond generally
and consented TO continue In charge
at the frst church.
His decision to remain In Richmond
was hailed with pleasure not only by
members of his own congregation. but
by Baptists of other churches and con-
gregationf os all denominations.
Should his tender OF service for
military duty be accepted by the War
Department. he will be taken away
from Richmond for many months. The
action of the War Department will be
awaited with the keenest of interest.

MCCORMICK is
GOING BACK TO
HIS BUSINESS

New York, Nov. l0.-Vance c. Nc
Cormick, Democratic national chair
man, arrived at the party's national
headquarters shortly before noon to-
day after a nights rest and said that,
President Wilson having been re-elect-
ed, he would return tonight or tomor-
row to his home in Harrisburg. Pa, to
resume his private business. He reit-
Grated his claim that the President
would receive 2ss electoral votes, de-
claring that Minnesota would go Dem
ocratic by plurality Of about 500.
1.-THE President is 50 completely re-
elected that I do not expect the Re-
publicans to ask for q recount" Mr..
Mccormick added.
The furniture was being removed
from the national headquarters here
today and the national committees To-
cal business will be conducted at a
branch Office. with the actual head
quarters located in Washington. Mr..
Mccormick. a former gridiron star,
said he had lost Is pounds during the
campaign and was down to football
weight.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1916-11-11

Democratic headquarters were cleo
trified by the announcement Of the re-
suit in California transmitted to Chair
man Mccormick by The Associated
Press. The chairman was especially
gratified because he had been vindi-
Gated in his prediction prediction
that Wilson could be elected even If he
lost New York, New Jersey. Indiana
and Illinois.
Mr.. Wilson Is the only President
ever elected with the solid East"
against him. His victory was believed
by politicians to presage an alignment
for the first time in Congress of the
West with the South. 1t was pointed
out that while he would not have a
working majority" in the lower
House he would not have to combat a
majority inimical to his policies.
Women's Vote
There was much speculation today
among suffragists as to the part play
ed by women in the election. Analy-
sis of their vote was eagerly awaited.
While President Wilson lost in Illinois
and Oregon he carried Washington,
Idaho, Montana, Wyoming. Utah. Col
orado, Arizona, Kansas, Nevada and
California, the other 10 states in which
women voted.
