COMPLETE OFFICIAL ELECTION
~ RETURNS.

Complete official returns on the
presidential election show that Mr..
Wilson received 9,116,296 votes, and
Mr.. Hughes S,547,474, a plurality Of
9beS. 1922 for Mr.. Wilson. s
In 1912 Wilson, democrat, received
g 49,, Oss; Taft, republican, 3,S46,399;
Roosevelt, progressive, 4,124,959.
These figures show that Mr.. Wilson
received 1,144,93s more votes this
year than the combined Taft Roose-
welt vote of four years ago. They al
so show that the Democratic party can
reasonably expect to retain it's present
lead as long and only as long, as it
stands for the rights Of the average
man as President Wilson has stood
for them.

ORGANIZING THE NEW HOUSE.
(From the New York World.

|
How to organize house of repre-
sentatives in which neither of the
great parties has majority is the
puzzle confronting the Sixty-ilfth
congress even now, long before the
regular date of assembling.
With Republican and Democratic
membership Of 214 and 213 respective
ly, there are independents, 2 progress
sives, Prohibitionist and i Socialist.
In two districts no certificaet of cleo
ton has yet issued If the Represen-
Itatives of the various minor parties
were. to act in concert they might
name the speaker and exercise con-
siderable influence upon the appoint
|ment Of committees. Success in that
case, however, would depend largely
upon the wisdom of their leadership.
the ability of discordant elements to
unite for common purpose, and the
willingness of one or the other of the
old parties to make concessions.
More promising of action than any
such combination is the situation in
the Republican Party itself. Not few
of its esentatives-elect are as
progressive and independent as the
four men who are thus classified.
Those in control of the organization
would like to place James R. Mann in
the chair, but Mr.. Gardeners revolt
against him for his prot ermanism us
only forerunner of more formidable
opposition to him as a standpatter. Al.
most anybody in either Republican
faction who could be named for the
Speakership would meet the same an
tagonism in his own household.
The Democrats will present Champ
Clark for rerelection'swith assurance
OF their united support. After much
log-rolling and delay Of
public business, it is reasonable to
suppose that he will receive enough
Democratic votes to settle the
contest. Some of these may come
from Progressiyes who prefer
Mr.. Clark to any standpatter; some
OF them may be cast by unbending
members of the Old Guard who prefer
him to any Republican Progressive. In
family rows of this kind, peaceable
neighbors who stay out are likely to
be invited in presently.

THINKING.

II you think you're beaten you are;
If you think you dare not, you don't,
If you'd like to win, but you think yor
can't,
It's almost cinch you won't.
If you think you'll lose, you're lost,
For out in the world we find
Success begins with a fellows will;
It's all in the state of mind.
If you think you're outclassed, you
are;
You've got to think big to rise,
You've got to be sure of yourself be-
fore
You can ever win a prize.
Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster man;
But soon or late the man who wins,
Is the one who thinks he can.

WILSON'S DIPLOMACY.

Dubuque Telegraph Herald.)
The Chicago Post, ever ready witt
captious criticism of the president
makes the German reply to the presi
dents note the occasion for the fol
lowing:
eve feel from the Berlin reply
to us a new sense Of our diplo-
matte disabilities. The presidents
note was, of course, tactless to-
ward England in the clumsiness
OF the wording by which it per-
mitted the assumption that it de-
clared the allies and the central
powers to be fighting alike for
the rights of small nations. Now,
the looseness of its structure ap-
pears anew from the fact that
Berlin is able to- ignore its re-
quest for the definition for I'M
defined conference, and to agree"
i. with its proposal. to postpone dis
cussion Of peace guarantees till
after the peace treaty shall have
chen signed.
This ineptitude may be costly,
as it may well give Germany
"A chance to say later that she did
& in fact accept our offer and act
on it to the full ri. ,t4s Il.
The editor of the Post is taking ad-
vantage Of his readers ignorance OF
fact, expecting to produce disgust
with the administration by insinuat-
ing that it is clumsy and awkward in
the tools of diplomacy. In
the COS newspapers which so dis
played their left-handed patriotism
were called "copperheads" because
the copperhead snake is the most dan
gerous and most insidious of reptiles
American diplomacy is not and
never has been like European diplo-
macy. 1t has been called "shirtsleeve
because of it's brutal li-
rectness. President Wilson was bru-
tally direct when he asked the Dellig-
erent powers on both sides Of the Eu-
ropean conflict to name their terms OF
peace. For that reason his "interfer-
ence" is being resented. He did, how
ever, defer to diplomatic convenience
sufficiently to moderate his Language
in speaking of the objects of both bel
ligerents. The diplomats Of Europe
are not taking umbrage at his phrase
ology in this respect-it is only the
European citizenry, unacquainted with
diplomatic usages. and the American

 The torpedo struck the shin .. e',- Wednesday morning. Many of tbo.o on board were killed in their bo,trs and others while dressing. The ov plosion killed the engineers. oilers and mechanics and those of the crew who were in the hunks below.
 All the survivors praise the cant.;n of the Antilles and the members nf the gun crew, who stuck to tboir posts while the officers searched with held glasses for the submarine until the waves closed over the ship.
 When the Antilles sunk, 40 or 5O men were at the stern. Most of them leaped 50 feet or more into the soa as the stern rose to a perpendicular position. Some were drawn down bv the suction of the sinking vessel.
 The submarine was not sighted either before or after the explosion. The sea was running high at the time, making it difficult to save the crew and passengers. Some survivors. by clinging to debris, were in the water an hour before they were sighted by the lifeboats.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR MERCHANT
 FLEET RADIO OPERATORS
(By United Press.l

Washington, Oct 19.-Two New England youths decided some time ago that the United States needed a free radio school to train wireless opera tors for our new merchant fleet. And so, without making much fuss about it. they went ahead and established the school without cost to the govern ment.
 Today these young men are train ing a class of forty in the mysteries of the Hertzian waves. The gradu- ates of the free six months course are all pledged to join America's mercan- tile forces as wireless operators. Sec retary of Commerce Redfeld, travel ing through New England on his vaca- tion discovered" the lads and has commended them in an official report.
 Arthur Batcheller, a radio inspector in Boston, and Walter J. Butterworth. clerk in the same office, were work ing for the Navigation Bureau of the Commerce Department when the na- tlonal crusade for huge merchant marine began. If we need thousands Iof ships, we will need thousands of operators, said Batcheller. How are We going to get them ?"
 He interested Butterworth in the proposition. They made their plans got an official O. K. on them and then went ahead. They borrowed .camp-chairs from a local steamboat company, dragged out an old black board from a school basement ob- tained instruments and testing ma chimes without cost by appealing to the patriotism of leading radio com panies, and by sheer grit and perse- verance corralled all the other require ments for their school-including off, flee space.
 Then they sent out call for pupils. By the score they responded. Result, Q growing corps of wireless operators for the American merchant marine, trained free of all charge.
