INDICATIONS, HOWEVER, POINT
TO 27O ELECTORAL VOTES
FOR WILSON.

New York, Nov. 8. 3:15 p. M
Special: The result of the national
election is still undecided, so far as
actual returns are concerned, but the
general trend seems to be ~favoring
Wilson.
On the face Of the returns already
counted, Hughes is certain of 243
electoral votes, while Wilson is GER
tain of 255 electoral votes, leaving
SO in the doubtful column.
These 33 doubtful votes are divid-
ed as follows: California, 10; Min

Dakota, s..

leads in California. where he prob
ably will get 10 electoral votes, and
in North Dakota, which has 5 votes.
These Is added to the 255 cleo
toral votes of which he is certain,
would give him 270 electoral votes,
or 4 more than sufficient to elect.
In New Mexico Hughes is leading
on present returns. but unreported
precincts are conceded to be strong
ly democratic.

STATES BEST TOWN
JAIL AT WENTWORTH is AMONG
TOWNS LIST OF USELESS
ARTICLES.

Persons familiar with the morality
record of Wentworth are of the opin-
ion that If a special act had been
passed which would have permitted
that town to hold its election a cou~
pie of days before the regular date,
so hat the result there could have
been known throughout the state be-
fore November 7, it would not have
been necessary to hold an election in
South Dakota. 1t is said that not
only has Wentworth solved the prob
lem OF transacting its official affairs
wisely and economically, but that it
is the best behaved municipality in
the state.
For a yea. and { half the jail at
Wentworth has been without an oc-
cupant, no one Turing that time hav-

WILL BE UNLAWFUL TO GIVE
FRIEND DKINk-THREE BDR-
DER STATES DRY"

last Tuesday, provides that no per
son, firm, corporation or club shall
sell or give away or bring into the
state TO sell, barter, trade or give
away intoxicating liquors. Excep-
ton is made where spirituous liquors
are sold by licensed pharmacists for
medicinal. mechanical, s%acramental
or experimental purposes. As inter
preted by Madison attorneys, it will
be unlawful to serve liquor at meals
where guests are present.
All saloons and wholesale houses

date the man who invites his friend
to have 'one for old times sake" is
equally liable with the person who

OF six states bordering on South
Dakota, three are wet" and three
are dry" North Dakota has had
prohibition since it became a state.
Iowa went prohibition January /, and
Nebraska voted for statewide prohi-

BIG ISSUE IS Still
CAUSING CONJECTURE
WILSON MEN PREDICT VICTORY.
But HUGHES HAS A CHANCE
TO WIN.
COAST STATES IN DOUBT
REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE HAS
OVERCOME WILSON'S BIG
LEAD IN MINNESOTA.

While excitement on the outcome
of the election count for president
was not as apparent today, locally, as
it was yesterday. there was plainly
manifest a huge undercurrent of in
terest which did not seem to lag
with the lapse of time that has taken
place since the first returns came
over the wires last Tuesday night.
A question of doubt in the result
of the closest presidential election
contest in recent times brought hun
dreds of requests for news, made in
person and over the telephone to
The Daily Leader and Western Union
telegraph offices. The often repeat
ed replies, Nothing definite yet"
was only a signal for more requests
for information.
Swings to Hughes.
For more than twenty-four hours,
South Dakota's neighboring state,
Minnesota, was the stickler to both
republican and democrat managers.
Wilson managers early yesterday
claimed Minnesota by a majority of
$1,000. Later the Wilson majority
.dwindled to 5000, with about 1900
country precincts still to hear from.
During last night and early today. the
count ~zigzagged back and forth, with
reports favorable to both candidates
alternating. This afternoon Hughes
is leading Minnesota by more than
1000 votes. Wilson headquarters
last night claimed California, but the
Golden state was not conceded to the
democrats by the republicans.
Telegraphic reports received this
morning were to the effect that Will
son had carried New Hampshire and
New Mexico, which, If true, would
add seven electoral votes to the Will
son string. The reports, which up to
a late hour this afternoon had not
been confirmed. gave the impression
that to win, Wilson would be re-
quired to carry one of the three
states remaining in doubt-Minne-
sofa, California or Oregon.
As II May BE.
One news SQUIRE yesterday esti-
mated that Wilson had 256 electoral
votes and Hughes 23S electoral votes,
with California, having IL electoral
votes; Minnesota, with IL electoral
votes; New Hampshire, 4 electoral
votes; New Mexico. 3 electoral votes,
and Oregon, 5 electoral votes, still in
doubt. 1t requires 266 electoral
votes to win.
If the republican managers We're to
concede New Hampshire and New
Mexico to Wilson. with the other
supposed Wilson states, the president
would be required to carry either one

Find Dead Body Of
Prof. Theo. Wanner
In the James River
Fargo College Faculty Member for Several Yearsf Victim
of Mysterious Death-In Very Best OF Spirits
Few Hours Before Tragic Demise.

his sister, had a most pleasant visit,
and there was absolutely nothing out
of the ordinary in his conduct.
Mr.. Wanner, for the past year and
q half. under leave Of absence from
Fargo college. had been a student at
the University of Wisconsin. taking
post graduate work for the doctor Of
philosophy degree, and he had also
instructed at that university. During
the past summer, his eyes gave him
considerable trouble. and for six
weeks he was under the care OF q
specialist at Milwaukee.
While Mr.. Wanner may have wor-
ried somewhat about his eye trouble,
he did not indicate any alarm at his
condition. SO far as his friends here
are concerned. He had studied very
earnestly, however. and 1t is just pos
sible that a mental breakdown may
have occurred while he was out walk
ing Thursday morning, and that he in
some manner fell or walked into the
river. ..
Had Wide Experience.
Prof. Wanner was 40 years of age,
and during the years Of his residence
in Fargo, he made many friends here.
He was identified with Fargo college
six years. and was faculty director
of athletics during most of that time,
as well as physics and chemistry in
structor. He was at one time superln-
tendent of schools at Wahpeton: an
instructor at Wimbledon. and he was
a Hamline university graduate.
Prof. Wanner and his mother re-
sided at Seventh street south. until
he departed from the college in the
spring of 1915, to take up post grad
uate work They then leased the resi-
dence with it's furnishings. and Prof.
Wanner had just packed the furnish
ings last week, preparatory to re-
movaI to Wahpeton.
The deceased is survived by his
mother; two brothers, e. g. Wanner,
secretary of the board Of control at
Bismarck. and DIR. Wsnner Of Wimble-
don, and his sister-in-law, Mrs. Fred
Wanner of jamestown. Mrs. Roy
Sweetman, Fargo, is a niece.
Funeral Tuesday.
Funeral services will be held at
Jamestown early tomorrow morning,
and the remains Will be shipped to
Pingree. the old family home. for
burial.

Prof. Theodore Wanner. formerly
connected with Fargo college as teach-
er of physics and chemistry. went 10
his death in the James river. near
Jamestown, last Thursday morning
his body being recovered from the
stream at noon Sunday, about hall
mile from the residence Of Mr. Wan
ners sister, Mrs. Fred Wanner, where
he had been guest over night.
Death by drowning" was the YER
dict of the coroner's jury which in
vestigated the case. ..
Details surrounding the tragic death
of the popular former member OF tne
Fargo college faculty are entirely
lacking. Professor Wanner left the
residence of his sister at about q
o'clock in the morning, fully clad with
the exception Of his coat, though he
had a. light rain coat. a slight rain
falling at the time.
Action Not Unusual.
Nothing was thought by other MEM
bers of the family Of his action, for ne
was accustomed to early morning
walks of considerable distances. and II
was some time before alarm was felt
at his failure to return.
Extended search Thursday after
noon, and until Sunday. was without
result, until farmer, driving across
the James river bridge about a hall
mile from the Fred Wanner residence
saw the body lying in the water.
Professor Wanner had spent the
week previous to his death In Fargo,
packing his furniture at Seventh street
south. preparatory to removal to Wah-
peton, where he had accepted the posi-
tion of head of the department OF
physics and chemistry. He spent
Tuesday at Wahpeton, finding resi-
dence, and comforting with President
Smith of the school of science.
In Best of Spirits.
Wednesday was spent in this city
and friends with whom he associated
that day, declare he was in the very
best Of spirits. In the evening he went
to jamestown, where he met his
mother, Mrs. Wanner, who had re.
sided with him in Fargo for several
years, and who had just returned from
a years stay in California. During the
evening. Mr.. Wanner. his mother and
