There are times in the work of a
newspaperman when he must be con-
trolled bv his sympathies for the iDno-

This paper bows to the inevitables in
such cases and is willing to accept the
criticism of some if good is accom-

Fairbanks, but the A ures were very
close and the Demo- attic managers
steadfastly refused to concede Re-
publican victory.
Though the metropolitan newspa-

Wilson conceded his defeat, the Dem

reverse the trend which seemed to be
steadily piling UP in the Hughes col
umn.

diction of the Democratic publicity

State was conceded by the Demo
Gratis. Soon afterward Democratic
supporters conceded the loss of all
New England, and the incoming re-
turns from the Middle West, al
though far from complete, showed
the Hughes figures growing fast.
An early estimate of the Hughes
electoral vote without Ohio placed it
at PIT, eleven more than necessary
for majority in the Electoral Col
lege. The Hughes majoritles reported
from Indiana and Illinois were re-
garded by the Republican leaders as
an indication of what might be ex-
pected.
New York, November 8:-Shortly
after midnight such returns as were
complete or so far complete as to be
regarded as indicative gave Presi-
dent Wilson 232 votes in the Electo-
raj College; Hughes 239 and left SO
votes doubtful in eight States. 1t
requires 266 votes to elect Presi-
dent.

sure the later figures would add to
the States they were claiming.
At 11:30 o'clock tonight Vance c
Mccormick. chairman of the Demo-
cratic national committee, gave out
the following statement:
I'VE do not concede Hughes elec-
ton by any means. President Will
son can still win with the votes of
the States from which we have heard
nothing.
I'VE have just heard from our
Western headquarters that they DO
not concede Illinois. All of the West
ern States are yet to be heard from,
and indications are that they are all
for Wilson.
I'VE have given up New York and
the indications are that we have lost
New Jersey. The indications are
that we still hold Massachusetts, and
Kansas. Delaware and Maryland
appear to be safe.

Shadow Lawn to indicate that they
have given up the fight.
Mr. Mccormick added that he
would not give out a definite state

less later reports indicated decided
change in the political situation.
The returns from Ohio are insult
ficient to determine the result in
that State.
All of the New England States and
New Jersey as well as Wisconsin and
Michigan have been removed from
the list of doubtful States.
Unless there is a landslide for Pres
dent Wilson on the Pacific slope the
election of Hughes seems certain.
Although President Wilson's secre-
tary at the summer White House, ,and
Chairman Mccormick. of the Dem

claims that the complete returns
would show the reelection of Presi-
