WILCOX CLAIMS
HUGHES ELECTION
California and Minnesota Turn
the Tide, With Big Ma
jorities

New York. Nov. S.-Chairman WILL
cox, of the Republican national COM
mittee, at 1850 o'clock issued this
statement
California and Minnesota are surely
for Hughes. This means Hughes is
elected"
The statement. he said. was based
upon advices from the respective state
headquarters, claiming California by
10, 600 votes and Minnesota by 10000.
Chester. H. Powell telegraphed from
San Francisco that the Republicans
could concede everything that the
Democrats claim and still carry the
state by 5000.
Chicago, ILL.,, Nov. S.-After receiv-
ing the latest returns from party lead
ers in number of doubtful states in
the Middle West and West to-day
Alvin 7. Hert, manager of the Repub-
lican headquarters, claimed that
Hughes and Fairbanks had carried In
diana, North Dakota. California and
Minnesota and that the Republican
national ticket had won with at least
272 electoral votes. or six more than
the required number.
San Francisco, Cal, Nov. S.-Ches-
ter II. Rowell. chairman of the Re-
publican state central committee of
California, informed Chairman Will
cox. of the Republican national COM
mittee. in New York to-day that
Hughes will carry California by 5000
20 5000. This was in answer to Will
cox's declaration sthat California is
now tho pivotal state"
PAPER USERS FEELING PINCH
Perhaps nobody has been hit harder
by high prices this year than the men
who use paper. The war in Europe,
which excuses and explains everything,
is offered only as a partial excuse by
the paper makers. They say that raw
materials are every year becoming
scarcer, and manufacturing processes
more expensive. Paper, they declare,
was bound to be higher priced any
way, and the added war cost of GER
tain sulphides and coloring chemicals
is only one among a number of causes
about that We only know that paper
is moving skyward week by week and
month by month. 1t may never come
down to the old figures again. Many
publishers are feeling the pinch at
present and view the future gloomily.
An increase in the subscription prices
of your favorite journals is among
the ossibilities.-Farm Life.

The Big Battle -
Next to the results of the presi-
Dental fight, local interest centered
on the outcome of the school loan and
the jitney battles. All through the
evening the results swung back and
forth although from the start the loan
apparently was steadily gaining. 1t
was give and take with the jitney
measure however, until toward the
late hours of the night.
The authorization by the people of
the million and quarter loan means
that Harrisburg can at last proceed to
the relief of it's congested high school
conditions. The general plan as al
ready outlined provides for the erec-
ton of new high school for girls,
the remodeling of the Technical high
school in order to accommodate all the
boys, and the erection of three junior
high schools.

Rivalry Stirred Up Over Selection of

TWO ROUTES ARE PROPOSED,
ONE VIA DEBORAH

Meeting of Delegates at

ed by volunteer subscription and ex-
pended this spring on roads in north
eastern Iowa as the result of the ri
valry which has been stirred up over
the selection OF the route for the
Burlington Way" through this sec

from the rival towns met at McGreg-
Or last week to determine the road
from that point to Cresco. Two
routes are proposed, one by way of
Calmar and the other via Waukon
and DEBORAH. Ii had been expected
to decide on one or the other of these
at the meeting but at the urgent soil
citation of the delegates favoring the
rival routes a postponement was
made until June 2.
In the meantime the boosters for
the two routes are going to canvass
towns and farmers for funds and eX-
.pect to make Zig showing by June,
2. The Calmar route is five miles
shorter and at present in better con-
5ition. However, there are many
railroad crossings on it. DEBORAH
Waukon route mas the scenic attrac-
tons and also has in it's favor the
fact that it connects the county seats
and has the best hotels and garages.
The directors of the Burlington Way
for northeastern Iowa are John Eek

Gregor; and c, B. Reed, Cresco. The
final choice of reads will be left to
them.
