and Nebraska Join
Dry States by Large Majorities
Montana dESouth Dakota Do LikeUise, While Idaho
Adopts Constitutional Amendment; California and
Missouri Remain in "Wet" Division

Four states joined the list of "drys"
in Tuesdays election, according to au-
thentic report. Michigan, Nebraska,
South Dakota and Montana have voted
out the saloons by startling majori-
ties All beer amendments and repeals
Offered in dry" states were defeated.
Idaho. which has statutory prohibition,
enacted prohibition constitutional
amendment by vote of 3 to l.
The Michigan dry" majority was
10000. with $4,000 voting against the
so-called home rule amendment. All
but one of the fifteen upper peninsula
counties went dry. Detroit, Grand Rap
ids, Saginaw, Bay City. Port Huron and
jackson either gave prohibition a ma
jority or an even break.
The present count in Idaho, with the
cities heard from, is two to one for the
dry" constitutional amendment and the
country districts will probably make it
four to one.
Nebraska has approved prohibition by
at least $4,000. There is majority OF
about 10000 in Montana. All cities in
that state except Butte favored prohi
bition.
In Missouri the former wet majority
of 100000 has been reduced to $4,000
with Kansas City and jackson county
voting dry. Arizona holds prohibition,
defeating local option and probably has
enacted amendments absolutely exclud-
ing liquor from the state. An effort to

CALIFORNIA VOTE DECIDES
ELECTION FOR PRESIDENT
Gives Thirteen Electoral Votes to Wilson and In
SureS. His Victory With at Least 276 in the
Electoral College; West and South Take
Control Of the Nations Destiny

When the Republican state chairman
Of California finally conceded that state
to Woodrow Wilson at 10 o'clock Thurs
day night, the result was no longer in
doubt and Wilson's reelection was ad-
mitted, grudgingly, by the Associated
Press and Republican daily papers. 1t
assured Wilson of 276 electoral votes,
ten more than the 266 necessary to elect.
This ended the most anxious period fol-
lowing presidential election since 1876
when Tilden and Hayes contested.
The combined vote of the West and
South elected Wilson, and for the first
time in sixty years a president has been
chosen who did not receive the electoral
vote of New York state. So cock-sure
were the New York daily papers and the
Associated Press that Wilson's fate was
settled Tuesday night when the count
disclosed that Hughes had carried New
York that the report was telegraphed
all over the nation that Hughes had been
elected.
At this writing, Friday morning, the
vote of Minnesota is still in doubt, with

In addition to receiving a safe major

Wilson has been given the popular vote

tion give Wilson 5,5l6s96 against 5 .465..
l60 for Hughes. This does not include
the total vote of several states which
gave Wilson large maiorities, so that his
total popular vote is likely to greatly
exceed that of Hughes.
As an evidence of how the huge claims
Tor Hughes diminished. it was disclosed
thursday. night that the original $1,000
majority for Hughes in Indiana had
dwindled to 6,OOO
Wilson will have Democratic House.
and Senate. so that his constructive pro-
gram may be continued during the next
four years
Next to the reelection of Wilson him
self, the greatest victory for the people
rests in the fact that it is made plain
that a president can be elected without
votes from east of the Alleghenies. and
the most baneful influence of the govern
ment is thereby removed.
Colorado has distinguished herself by
being the Northern and Western state
to give Wilson the largest majority in
proportion to the number of votes cast.
Wilson's majority here is over &C. 600, re-
ceiving almost twice as many votes a.
Justice Hughes.
Another great victory for the people
brought by this election is that Justice
Hughes. besides being defeated for the
presidency, is forever removed from the
United States Supreme Court.
Organized labor thruout the nation
held the balance of power in the election,
and by giving its united support to
President Wilson insured his victory.

cisively defeated, as were the so-called
beer amendments in Oregon, Colorado
and Washington.
California, apparently, defeated the
prohibition amendment thru the large
adverse vote in San Francisco, other sec
tions of the state favoring the dry"
amendment.
Utah and FLORIDA are reported to have
elected legislatures favorable to prohibit
tion and will legislate the saloon out
OF business. The territory of Alaska
also is said to have been added to the
list of Uncle Sans dry" possessions.
More than half of the forty-eight
states of the Union are now in the dry
column.

Leaving Kaltag, the Yukon flows almost
straight south for distance of so miles or
more to the Holy Cross Mission, near which
the lnnoko river flows in. The Innoko gives
access to the rich gold mining region known
as the Iditarod The camp is reached by
sailing up the Innoko to Dykeman, which is
the head of navigation of the Iditarod river,
branch of the Innoko. The distance is
about $50 miles, and from there to the camp
is IS miles farther The Iditarod gold re-
gion was discovered in 1909, and it had
yielded $6,000,O00 worth of gold within the
next two years. A single claim produced
$4,000 worth of gold week during the last
open season. A great deal of gold has been
taken out OF the Iditarod Many of the
claims have been bonded or bought by the
Guggenheims, and that company is now
working large dredges there.

sion is Anvik, an Indian settlement with
