BIG REPUBLICAN VICTORY

A THOUGH certain election returns
= affecting both senators and repre-
sentatives, are yet in doubt, 1t is safe
to say at this writing Thursday morn
ing) that the Republicans have won a
working majority in both branches of
Congress. Numbers of the leading
Congressional supporters of the Pres-
dent have fallen outside the trenches,
among others, he of the ford oratory
and ditto whiskers, Ham Lewis Of Hi
nois, late unofficial minister plenipo-
Tertiary to the Allies. Even Champ
Clark ESCAPED by the skin of his
teeth" while that presidential rubber
stamp and ultra pacifcist, so ultra in
fact that az he says he has little use
for the American flag, Henry Ford, j.,
also thrown into the political discard.
This is truly a remarkable victory
when one remembers the fearful odds
against which it was won, the appalling
power of an official patronage dispend
ing not millions but many billions Of
money, offices being created in every
state by the hundreds to fatten the
placemen. No instance ip the whole
history of American politics shows a
hundredth part of the odds which the
ms. the Democrats, possessed against
the outs, the Republicans. Yet, thank 5
to Mr.. Wilson'S big blunder. they did
win. Much of the credit for this great
victory is due to the brilliant general
ship of our National Chairman Will H.
Hays.
Finally, the Republicans won every-
thing in the state save the local Offices
in Kent County. Senator Salisbury
was beaten by 1107 votes and Mr.. Polk
for the House by ITO.

next summer. On the other hand IN
ternal conditions in Germany may eng
it this year yet.
Germany is being forsaken by all her
allies. Bulgaria surrendered uncondl-
tionally month ago; Turkey is beaten
to her knees, and is offering to surren-
der on like terms; Austria-Hungary has
gone all to pieces, the various antago-
nlstic peoples composing that conglom-
crate empire, severally declaring their
independence, and the armies OF the
Empire fleeing before the victorious
Italian forces which have crossed the
Pave and are driving On towards
Vienna; while the Serbians, animated
with new hopes, are fast closing in
upon the routed Austrians from the
South.
Against the blood thirsty Bolsheviki
usurpers the better elements through
out Russia are turning everywhere, and
the Americans and other Allied troops
are fast cleaning those mad socialstic
mu,derers out of Siberia.
The condition seems to resolve itself
into this Twill the German people, who
are boldly denouncing the Kaiser and
demanding peace and his abdication.

A writer in the San Francisco
Examiner makes comparison of
President Wilson and the bloody
butcher of Berlin in the following
forcefuf way: when the Creator
had made all the good things,
there was still some work to do.
He made the beasts and reptiles
and poisonous insects, and when
He had finished He had some
scraps left that were too bad to
put into the rattle snake. the n.y.
ena, the scorpion and the skunk,
so He put all these together, COW
cred it with suspicion, wrapped
it with jealousy and hatred,
marked it with a yellow streak,
and after saving them for years
to decide what He would call it.,
Emperor William was born. He
suited His purpose, so He called
it the kaiser. This product was
so fearful to contemplate, that He
had to make something to coun-
teract it, so He took a sunbeam
and put it into the heart of a
child, and the brain Of a man,
wrapped it with civic pride, COW
cred it with brotherly love, gave
it mask Of velvet and grasp
Of steel, and called it Woodrow
Wilson and educated him to be
president of the United States,
made him a lover of flowers and
manly sports, believer in equal
ity and justice, and ever since
these two were made, mortal man
has had the privilege of choos-
ing his associates and being
judged accordingly"

The price of cotton seed this
fall will be the highest, perhaps,
ever known. The price, we un-
derstand, will be around $75 per
ton at the opening of the season,
which means that the seed in a

$3.50, more than a bale of actual
lint cotton has brought in periods
