CARRANZA SPLITS 70
GET VILLAS BANDS

CHIHUAHUA CITY, Mex, Nov. IL
Two columns of Carranza troops under
command of General Murgia, are pro-
ceeding northward along the line of
the Mexican Central railway today in
an effort to cut off Villa from the
north. official announcement of the
departure of these columns was au-
thorized late today.
One of the columns under Gen. Muir
gia is engaged in repairing the rail-
read wherever this has been damaged
by the Villaistas, while the other is
searching for bandits. Military au-
thorities here stated this afternoon
that Villa had been seen near the Du-
range border and that if the movement
from Juarez did not cut him off entire
ly, he would certainly be caught be-
tween Gen. Murgia's force and cavalry
which set out from this place recently
and his since been close upon the trail
Of the bandit leader.

REPUBS. WOULD
NOT HAVE WORK.
LEAD FOR HOUSE

The latest reports on the complex
ion of the national house of represen-
tatives in which it is said that the
Republicans have PIG members; the
Democrats, 213, and other parties, 6,
was conveyed to Congressman Charles
r. Crisp, of the third district, by the
Times-Recorder. Congressman Crisp
said that this standing would not give
the Republicans a working majority
as the membership of the house is
4S5, which would require AIS men,
bers to control on a full record vote
The Republicans now have 2 short of
this number although the latest AS
sociated Press dispatches say that the
official count may change some of the
districts.
A dispatch was sent out of Washing
ton to some of the Georgia morning
papers yesterday by special repre-
sentative in which it referred to pos
sible Georgia losses on committees
should the Democrats lose control.
Congressman Crisp is member of
the powerful Ways and Means com
nittee, but is not the lowest mem
Der" as the dispatch said. There is a
congressman from Pennsylvania and
also the West who are Democrats and
rank below Congressman Crisp.
The Ways and Means committee has
21 members, of which IA are to the
majority party, and Z for the minority.
Should the Democrats lose a full con-
troll of the hause, it would not mean
the loss of Mr.. Crisp's membership on
the committee necessarily. He was
chosen by one of the largest majorities
ever given a member for the seat.
1t will readily be seen that certain
handicaps will confront President Will
son and the Democratic party with a
short membership in the house, al
though their enemies would not have
such a commanding majority as to
force their own legislation
The senate is in the hands of the
Democrats, and with a close align
ment in the house, Wilson and DEM
ocracy could command much legislat-
tion, committee memberships, and
other necessary actions.

MISS RANKIN, FIRST WOMAN
CHOSEN MEMBER OF CONGRESS

HELENA, Mont, Nov. 11.-Iatest
returns from Tuesdays congressional
election in Montana, assure the cleo
tion of Miss jeanette Rankin, as a
member of congress. Miss Rankin, a
republican by political faith, will be
the first woman to hold a seat in the
United States congress, and will take
her seat next March.
Congress being the sole judge of the
qualifications of it's members, and the
narrow democratic majority in the
next house, has given rise her to much
speculation concerning Miss Rankin's
disposition when she appears before
speaker to be sworn into office, and
whether or not the question of admit
ting women as members of congress
will be seriously debated at that time.

OF
WILSON VICTORY
PLANNED IN CITY

Chairman W. w. Dykes, of the ma
tional Democratic campaign fund
committee, has called meeting of
those members for o'clock
Monday morning at the Chamber of
Commerce, to devise and make prep
aration for the celebration by the
people of Americus for the wonderful
victory of Woodrow Wilson in his
race for reelection as president of
the United States. The Times-Re-
corder suggested to Chairman Dykes
that his committee should properly
take charge of the plans or name a
committee, and in accordance with
this request in which Mr.. Dykes
heartily agreed he has made a call
for the meeting.
When the result became sure that
Wilson had won there was a general
sentiment that some form of celebra-
ton should take place. The Times
Recorder only manifested that desire
Of almost every person in Ameficus,
the deep interest of the paper heartily
commends the movement.
1t has been suggested that several
short speeches be made, something
snappy and appropriate to the occas-
ion. Among the speakers suggested
IS Congressman Charles r. Crisp, of
the third district, who sent his hearty
congratulations to the president yes
terday, Mr.. Crisp made an appeal for
support to Wilson in last Mondays
Times Recorder the day before the
election, and the substantial majority
which the third district gave Wilson
bespeaks his interest in the campaign.
1t is expected that the cadets CORPS
Of the Americus High School will be
invited to participate in the celebra-
zion and take part in the parade.
1t is expected that the committee will
urge every person to secure a torch
or fiambeau and join in big parade.
There will be music and singing;
whoops and yells, and everything to
prove that Americus believes in
Democracy and Woodrow Wilson.
The people of the neighboring cities
will be invited, and the definite day
is expected to be made as nearly con-
yenient as possible for all the people.
Albany has had her celebration, and
Georgia cities are everywhere showing
their interest.
The committee is urged to bear in
mind the call for the meeting at
O'Clock Monday morning.

ALLIES DR|V|NG c
BACK ON
OOBRUDJA FRONT

The situation in Dobrudja where
the entente forces have apparently
attempted to regain possession of
tie Constansea-T -Tisernavoda rail-
road again seems to hang in the bal
ance. The entente troops have ad-
yanced from the north upon the Teu-
tonic left flank at Tisernavado and
others are close to the town along
the route of twelve miles of long
bridges and viaducts across the
Danube river.
Sofia has reported that Bulgarian
artillery has drove back the entente
troops which reached the west bank
Of the Danube.
The fighting on the Somme front in
Northern France has apparently been
resumed on an important scale with
the return of favorable weather.
Paris has announced the repulse of
German attacks at Denicourt and Ber-
lin has admitted that the British have
entered the advanced German position
northeast of Courcillet.
Berlin has announced advances
against the Rumanians in the Predcal
sector on the Transylvanian front
and the repulse of German attacks in
Baranovichi.

SUMTER LEADS A
CAMP PA|GN ON THE
j. s. ROAD HELP

Every county from Macon to Thorn
asville, via the Dixie Highway, has
been invited by Secretary ]. A. Pink
ston for the Sumter county board of
commissioners, to meet in Americus
on Friday, November oath, at IL a. M,
to take up the matter of federal aid
to this link of Georgia's highway.
This road between Macon and Thom-
asville has been ignored by the state
highway in their parcelling of the
fund at the first meeting.
Sumter has led the way, and it is
believed that she will have the full
cooperation of all of the counties
along the highway in her battle for
recognition. Only Macon was repre-
sented at the meeting her Friday, but
1t was due to the short time inter-
vening between the call and day of
meeting.
The Americas and Sumter County
Chamber of Commerce took the first
notice of the matter, and a commit
tee from this body appeared at the
last meeting of the commissioners. At
this time the plans for carrying on the
investigation and fight were laid.
Secretary Pinkston is sending the
following letter to the board of coun-
ty commissioners between Macon and
Thomasville.
Macon and Sumter counties, in
meeting today to devise some plan, by
which to secure federal aid for the
Dixie Highway from Macon to Thom-
asville, decided to ask the commits
sioners of each county from Macon to
Thomasville to meet in Americus on
November oath next, at II o'clock, to
Gether with the state highway COM
missioners and the state highway en-
gineer. The above commissioners
wish the writer to stress the import
ance of this meeting, and insist on
every county from Macon to Thorn
asville to attend One county's fail
ure to respond would break the
link" Please let me hear from you,
signifying your intention to be pres
ent, and oblige Yours truly,
"J. A. PINKSTON."

The latest events on the national
election, compiled from the dispatch
es of the Associated Press, by the
Times-Recorder just before going to
press show the following facts;
Woodrow Wilson has 271 votes !;
Charles E. Hughes, 243 votes. This
gives New Mexico and New Hampshire
to Wilson, which he has carried ac-
cording to the best available informa-
tion. These figures leave Minnesota as
the only doubtful state, having IL
votes. Hughes lead in Minnesota has
been cut to 29S, with the Minnesota
gcardsmen vote to be counted on Mon
day, with strong likelihood of a
Wilson majority
Republican Chairman Wilcox still
refuses to concede Wilson's election.
Charles E. Hughes, the defeated Re-
publican candidate, had no statement
to make during yesterday.
Miss jeanette Rankin, of Montana,
a Republican, has been elected to con-
gress, which mar the first woman to
receive this honor in the national
house.
The Republicans have PIG members
in the house; Democrats, 213; other
parties, 6. According to Congress
man Charles R. Crisp, Of the third
Georgia district, this does not allow a
working majority.
