ELECTION In DOUBT.
PRESIDENTIAL RACE APPAR
EMILY VERY CLOSE.
LATEST FIGURES INDICATE HUGHES
APPARENTLY LACKS SIX ELEcTo-
RAJ VOTES AND WILSON FIVE,
WITH TEN IN DOUBT.

The result OF the presidential election
is still in doabt, and apparently very
close. Latest returns indicate that only
few electoral votes may decide the elec-
ton, Hughes having apparently 26O and
Wilson 261, with only 266 necessary to
elect.
Early returns last evening indicating
the election Of Haghes we're discounted by
later returns from the western states, and
what at first appeared certainty, and an
nounced by democraticas as well as republi-
can papers, was changed to doubt by mid
night.
According to morning returns, Hughes
had PIP electoral votes, Wilson 232, with
81 in doubt, and the returns coming In
this afternoon make it still closer. Fol-
lowing is the electoral vote as it stands
to-day.

nesota and Wa hington are apparently for
Wilson. This would give Hughes 256
votes, Wilson 261, with only four states
remaining in the doubtful column Idaho,
New Mexico, New Hampshire and
Wyoming.
New Hampshire is apparently for
Hughes by about 800, but the democrats
will contest the lection and demand a re-
count. II New Hampshire is counted for
Hughes with those apparently for him as
above, only one ELECTORAL vote would sep
arate the two candidates, Hughes having
$50 to Wilson's 261, with 266 necessary for

career from the very beginning of his

has been beyond reproach and to the
great good of the public interests
which have been in his charge. They
are monuments of things done and
make a reputation which does not de-

followed by reposing trust in him as

AMERICAN FAIR PLAY

While the people of the United
States have been sending thirty mil
lion dollars worth of relief to Europe
and Turkey, two hundred thousand
women and children in Albania have
died of starvation.
While each woman and child IN
Belgium has had plenty to eat, womer
and children in Albania have gnaweo
at the carcasses of dead horses in the
streets.
William Willard Howard, of New
York, who has returned from his third
trip to this hunger zone of Europe
predicts that the entire population OF
Albania will die of famine and pestil-
ence unless helped. He says that ir
Albania corn is fifty dollars a bushel
flour eighty dollars a sack, and maca-
roni five dollars a pound.
"The tragedy of Albania" says Mr.
Howard, "is that nation is dying Of
hunger, while the people of the United
States, laden with gifts for the rest OF
Europe and for Turkey, pass by on the
other side.
Thirty millions of dollars have
been given by the people of the
United States for relief work of vari-
Gus kinds in Belgium, Poland, Armen-
ia, Syria and the warning countries of
Europe, while two hundred thousand
women and children in Southeastern
Europe have starved to death unheed-
ed and uncared for. Not one woman
or child has died of hunger in Bel
GUM; two hundred thousand in
Albania.
"Is it fair-is it human that the
innocent women and children of Al
bania, who never did anyone any
harm, should be trampled under foot
and left to perish, at time when all
others are fed?

done any wrong; yet armies have

ArmenIans and let the Albanians

W. c. T. u: STATE CONVENTION

At the state convention of the w.
C. T. IT,, which was held in Barre,
last week there was a very good at
tendance, encouraging reports were
received and plans made for the
work of the coming year. At no
time did the defeat of the Perry law
at the spring election indicate defeat
for these interchangeable workers.
They are ready for another conflict
for the protection Of the homes of
the state from the insidious evil
known as the liquor traffic. Surprls-
ing results were reported by the
state treasurer, whose report showed
that the cost of the campaign exceed
ed receipts by only $62.S4, a very re-
markable showing in view of the
large expense incurred in scattering
literature and employing speakers,
It was shown that the stay-at-home
vote defeated the measure, and the
s,act that men fail to appreciate the
Importance Of the ballot was deeply
deplored.
Among the other plans for the
coming year it was determined to
try to have the age of consent law
law amended by changing the age at
which a man may safely wrong a
girl from sixteen to eighteen, that
being all they dared to ask, even
though as it was expressed, there
should be no age limit to the re-
sponsibility Of men any more than
girls, but that at all times all parties
to wrong doing should bear the re-
sultant penalty.
The work of the year being salts
factory to the delegates, all officers
were reelected. Mrs. +. H. Rastall
of Manchester Center, and Mrs.
Avery of Middletown Springs, were
made delegates to the National Con
vention at Indianapolis from the
first district, Mesdames F. l.. Dick
ems and B. 0. Spaulding from the
second district, and Mrs. Albee, dele
gate at large.
Miss Mary F. w. Anderson of Bos
ton, and Mrs. Anna Tillinghast of
Beverly, were the speakers from out
the state. Miss Anderson is an en-
thusiast on the question of enlisting
the young people in the Young
Peoples Branch, of which she is the
national secretary, and has much
magnetism as a speaker. Mrs. Til
linghast is convincing and logical
speaker, here theme being "Democ-
racy and the Liquor Traffic" Her
address was analytical and logical.
The delegates were royalty enter
tanned by the Barre w. c. T. u, and
cordially welcomed by ministers, ed
ucators and citizens.
The following resolutions were
adopted:
Thanking our Heavenly Father for
His guidance during the past year,
for the strength and wisdom given
US, for all the success attained, for
the lessons learned and the expert
ence gained,
Resolved, That with courage and
confidence we set our faces toward
the work Of the coming year, believ-
ing that He who has led to victory
