CANVASS THE RETURNS TODAY
Slight Chance That Amy Offices
VIII Be Affected.
Strong Republican Working
MajOrities in Legislature.

The Kansas plurality for Wilson will
probably stop somewhere in the neigh
borhood of $4,000. Today it continued
to grow after having climbed beyond
the 10000 mark. With more than
800 precincts to report, there is every
indication that the Wilson lead will be
very close to S5,000-or 10000 more
than four years ago when the Repub-
licans lost the governor, six congress
men. United States senator and both
legislative bodies.
Strong Republican working majori-
ties will be held in both legislative
bodies next winter. With returns
from 112 of the 1875 representative dis
tricts. the Republicans now have
eighty-three of the members-twenty
above a working matority-while the
Democrats have twenty-seven and the
Socialists two. In the senate, returns
from thirty-siX of the forty districts
show twenty-eight Republicans and
eight Democrats. The remaining re-
ninety-five Republican members of the
house and thirty OF more senators.
Mahin Has Won.
In the Fortieth senatorial district,
Senator I. M. Mahin appears to have
won his reelection by twenty votes
after having seemingly lost the fight
in the early count. In Ford county,
L. J. Pettyjohn is beaten by thirty to
forty votes Pettyjohn was one of the
strong members in the 1915 session
and was a speakership possibility, in
the next session.
With the increasing returns from
over the state larger majorities for the
Republican state ticket seem certain
By the same token Hughes continues
to slump ir the presidential contest
Governor Capper's majority is now
near the 10000 mark and nearly 500
absent precincts may take it above the
100, 900 mark.
Returns are being canvassed today
in all of the counties OF the state. The
official count may determine several
close local contests. There is slight
probability, tho, that the count will
in any manner affect other offices
Returns from the county canvassing
boards will be received in Topeka next
week by J. T. Botkin, secretary of
state and will be checked and sub
mitted to the state carvassing board

TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS

Chicago, Nov. 10-WHEAT-After a
wavering start. the wheat market today
made a decided upward jump. Unexpect-
ed lower quotations from Liverpool with
reports of scattered showers in Argentina
gave a temperate advantage to the bears,
but on the declines a number of big houses
turned to the bull side influenced by a
advances in the New York stock market
Bears were handicapped by further re-
auctions in estimates of the Argentine ex-
portable surplus. The opening here.
which ranged from 11ac decline to 1Hc
advance, with December at $1Ss1A to
S1.S9A and May at $1.92 to $1.92% was
followed by moderate general set back
and then to a rise all around to well above
yesterdays finish.
Assertions that frost had done serious
damage IN Argentine acted as a stimulus
to buyers, and carried prices here to the
highest point yet this season. The close,
nevertheless, was weak at S1S1h to 81. SSA
for December and $1.921a for May with the
market as a whole 11ac lower to a like
ish.
CORN--Corn weakened with wheat and
later rallied when wheat developed
strength strength. Export demand and
predictions of colder weather tended to
help the advance After opening 1kc to
nc lower the market receded little fur
Their, but on the subsequent upturn went
to the highest level since 1892.
Bullish Argentine advices gave a lift to
corn as well as to wheat. The close was
unsettled at gains of sc to 1850 net
OATS-Oats were governed by the action
of corn.
PROFESSIONALISM prices for lard
at Liverpool gave strength to the entire
provision list here.

fornia to be heard from, wilson was
leading Hughes by 1928 votes ac
cording to a tabulation made at IL ~
a. m. (12:4O Topeka timed
In 5S43 precincts Wilson's total was
466.954 against 463.031 for Hughes.
These figures include official totals
on 1909 precincts in Los angeles eou ll
ty and five others unoff1claily taOu-
lated in that county.
Tension Most Dramatic.
The tension of the most dramatic
situation in the political history of the
United States was broken when the
Associated Press flashed the news that
Republican State Chairman Roweu OF
California had conceded the state to
Wilson. rrantic appeals to expedite
returns had been sent to state leaders
hour after hour from the national
Headquarters here of both parues-
kilograms were reinforced by tele-
phone calls across the continent II
had been apparent since "Wednesday
that California was the pivot upon
which the election would swing.

cred of little Importance but, IN TINS
history making presidential year, they
were of vital importance. They could
not be reached by telephone or tele-
graph and the trails and passes lead
ing to them were choked with snow
In many places.
Await Official Count.
The size of the presidents plurality
will not be determined until the Off
cial count is completed and num-
her of expected revisions have been
made, but 1888 precincts show him
leading Charles Evans Hughes by
5.29S votes The complete figures on
these precincts, as tabulated at an
early hour, gave Wilson 467, 497 and
Hughes 462,199.
Returns are complete from all but
thirteen of the fifty-eight counties and
in ten of these not more than three
precincts are missing The thirty
three precincts yet to report will not
change the general result in California
altho they may reduce President VII
sons plurality somewhat.
Under the state law, the thirteen
candidates for electors who receive
the highest vote go to the electoral
college, regardless of whether all thir-
teen are of the same political faith
It is asserted by Republicans that
there Is a possibility that the highest
Republican cIector in many counties
has received a slightly larger vote
than the lowest Democratic elector.
They point out that. in Marin coun-
ty, there is n difference of only thirty
