can Election News and Bets
Were Many.

[By Ed L. Keen, United Press Staff
Correspondent
LONDON, Nov. S.-London was al
most as much wrought up over the
presidential election as the United
States today. An unusual popular in.
terest was shown when returns COM
pletely turned about over night. No
American election has ever aroused
such widespread interest as has this
Hughes-Wilson fight.
There were crowds about all the
t1ckers in all the clubs and hotels here.
Calls for Information In person and
by telephone at American newspaper
offices were uncountable.
The newspapers got out almost as
many extra editions as some of the
American newspapers must have run
OF their presses. These editions were
eagerly bought up and scanned for de-
tails.
Wherever there were crowds there
was betting, with the odds at even or
slightly favoring Wilson.

REPUBLICANS
SWEEP ILLINOIS
Hughes and Lowden Carry State by
PIuraIIties Of From 100000
to 10000.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service]
CHICAGO, Nov. S-The republicans
have swept Illinois. with pluralities
estimated at from 100000 to 100000
for Charles e. Hughes. for president
and Frank o. Lowden, for governor.
With Hughes and Lowden, the en-.
tire state republican ticket was car
ried into office, latest compilations OF
the vote indicated today.
Twenty-one republicans were
elected to the house of representa-
tives, and six democrats.
James r. Mann, minority leader in
the last congress. and Joseph G. Can
non were among the republican repre-
sentatives who were returned.
Hughes triumph in Illinois was dug
to the failure Of the democrats to poll
their expected big plurality In Chicago
and Cook county, Hughes rolling up
pluralities there as well as in other
sections of the state.
A heavy women's vote was cost
the republican candidates receiving
approximately the same proportion OF
the women's vote as OF the men 5.

ACCEPTING POLITICAL RESULTS.

Pessimists sometimes argue that the Amer1-
can people are not capable of self government.
AS one thinks Of the way in which our people
remained satisfied with pork fed politics, there
is some little basis for such encouragement
But when our politics is compared with that OF
other peoples, there are many ways IN which
the American shines. The way he takes pohtl-
cal defeat is one Of them.
In South American countries the beaten ele-
ment gets out with guns and knives. In
Europe they go to the opposite extreme In
many of those countries the liberal party would
secure an overwhelming majority could the one
man. one vote principle prevail. The people
submissivey accept the decree handed out to
them by kings and lords as child takes a
whipping They don't even care or dare to
discuss it.
Midway between these two extremes stands
the American political custom The van
pushed are perfectly free to pour out all the
bitterness of their souls But they rarely do it.
Their nearest approach to exhibition Of that
kind was in the Hayes Tilden dispute in 1876.
As Congressman Gardner of Massachusetts
once remarked, 81 never lick my sore paws in
public'' It heroic remark, and one that
represents very faithfully our political man.
ners As to guns and knives, as they are
flourished on the other side of the Gulf of Mexi-
co, the man who resorts to them is promptly
locked up in an asylum for lunatics The
American way is really marvellous showing OF
public self control and one that proves the Sc
curity of democratic institutions.

A vaudeville bill which made de-

big crowds for its final showing to-

WORTH THE RISK-NOW

The cargo of the Deutschland is not intrin-
sically worth anywhere near as much re-
ported It has great value of course, be-
cause it is made up of goods of exclusive Ger
man production relatively cheap in Germany,
but made scarce and correspondingly costly in
this country by wars interruption to traffic
Her return cargo will be valuable for similar
reasons. Hence trip by the Deutschland or 9th
err submersble at long intervals is immensely
profitable, warranting all of the hazards in
Cured. There is no reason for believing that
the Deutschland will hasten more in making
the return trip than it did in making the second
trip out or that additional submersibles will be
quit to engage in the trade, because the more
