vertsements today, and those to De published tomorrow morning, wound up one of the strongest political cam paigns of history.
 Spanish influenza, travelling west ward from it's hotbed in New England, swept the west as the campaigns were being opened. A few preliminary speaking trips were made by some in- dustrious candidates, but many of them did not make platform speech. Lack of issues" also quieted the usual "con- gressionap year turmoil, until the presidents appeal for democratic con- gress put spirit into the partisan fights in some districts, where there was a good chance of successful contest.
 Nine United States senators were tc be elected tomorrow in Colorado, Idaho Montana, New Mexico, Oregon and Wyoming. Thirty three representatives were to be chosen in these seven states and Arizona, California, Utah and Washington. Delegates were to be named from the two. western territories Alaska and Hawaii.
 Women played a large part in the campaign. In all but New Mexico ano Utah, they were contenders for i'm | portant offices. Two, Representative Jeanette Rankin of Montana and Miss Ann Martin of Nevada, were candi. dates for United States senators. All western states, except Montana Utah and Washington, were to cleo governors and full state tickets
 1 Most of the states had on their ballot. various legislative measures. Fiv, states, Washington, Utah and Colorado already dry, and California and Wyom 1 ing, had wet and dry measures at stake

MIDDLE WEST FIGHTS
 BRIEFLY SUMMARIZED

CHICAGO, Nov. 4.-Voters of the middle western states were bombarded with final arguments tonight, as a climax to the short but intensive con- paigns which have been waged by can- didates for state and federal offices, which will be decided at the polls to- morrow,
 In the senatorial contest, interest generally centered in the Ford-New- berry contest in Michigan; the Mo cormick- Lewis race in Illinois; the at tempt of Governor Capper to supplant Senator Thompson in the Kansas seat; the race between former Governor Folk and Judge $. P. Spencer in Missouri, and the Kenyon Reyes struggle in Iowa. Senators Robinson of Arkansas and Nelson of Minnesota are without major party opposition for reelection, and the reelection of Senator Shep- pard of Texas was practically conceded In addition to these there have been contests in Kentucky, where Governor Stanley is opposed by B. L. Bruner; in Nebraska between Senator Norris and eX-Governor Marshall; in Oklahoma between Senator Owen and w. B. John son, and in South Dakota between Sen- ator Stirling and O. V. Rinehart.
 In the gubernatorial field there have | been many sharp contests, complicated by local issues in many cases. The de- fection of some republican support from Frank B. Willis, that party's candidate for the executive position in Ohio against Governor Cox, has aroused in- terest in that contest Close contests | are also predicted in Nebraska, Iowa | Minnesota and Kansas.

TERMS CRUSH AUSTRIA

(Continued From Page One) tention had been evident, of dividing the Austrian army in such a way as to separate the mountain section from that Of the plains, and possibly cut the retreat of the Austrian troops. Hence the rapid and vigorous push towards Vittorio, Veneto, Ponte Nerle Alpi Longarone. which promptly attained the first aims. Hence the rapid advance Tn Val Sugana, Grigno and Castel Nuovo.
 On the twenty fourth of October. the initial bombardment was begun. Today, November the fourth, the Ital- ian flag flies over the castle of Trento. and on the tower of St. Giusto at Trieste, and at o'clock this afternoon an armistice became effective, the | clauses of which mean the uncondi- tlonal surrender of the enemy. Against about seventy enemy di- visions, have fought on Italian soil, flfty-six Italian divisions, three British dlv1slons, one French division, a regi- ment of American infantry and the Czecho Slovak legion. Nor should the help given by our brave allies to us be considered slight; besides the intrinsic valor of the units which have fought side by side with us, their presence has re-affirmed before the enemy. the unity of the aims of all the allies on the Italian theater as well as on all the other theaters of the war"
 Daniels Invoices Navy WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-Austria- Hungary's navy, which either must be delivered to the allies or disarmed un- der the terms of the armistice that | country has signed. consists of approx imately 251 ships, according to latest official information reaching the navy department. These figures, Secretary Daniels announced today, were com piled without reference to recent re- ported losses Of two Austrian battle ships.
 | The total of submarines is placed at 45 with fifteen battleships. an equal number of cruisers. 21 torped~ boat destroyers, 10 torpedo gunboats, 67 tor pedo boats, 45 mine layers, II river monitors, seven patrol boats, six armed steamers, six scouts. one river torpedo boat and two trawlers.
 Vote Republic or Monarchy?
 AMSTERDAM, Nov. 4.-Count Kar- oiyl, the Hungarian premier, address ing public meeting. is quoted in a dis patch from Budapest as saying:
 The elementary power and public opinion having desired that not only democracy and independence should be realized. but that decision should be taken regarding the future form of government the king, at the govern ment's request, has released the minis ters from their oath"
 A revolution was then passed, pro- viding for plebiscite, to decide on the question of monarchy or a republic for Hungary.

since Germany is the last of the central powers. when she surrenders, there will be no need to provide for the employ ment of her military equipment by Mar shal Foch. There will be no one left against whom to turn the guns. The terms for Germany, therefore. probably will show that variation from the Axs- trisn conditions.
 One feature of the Austrian surrender conditions which is thought here to have been duplicated in the German terms, is the entrusting to Marshal Foch of the carrying out of the pro- gram of demobilization and disarma- ment.
 Attention already is being given here to the next phase after Germany ceases fighting. Officials have not lost sight of the fact that armistices are only step ping stones to the permanent settlement of all the issues of the war. Political questions, boundaries, even commercial rights and privileges all remain to be defined.
 Peace Industry to Hasten.
 Both in the United States and in the allied countries, 1t is said the necessity is recognized Of setting in motion the wheels of peace-time industry, at the earliest possible moment, in order to accord employment and support to the millions of discharged soldiers. This is expected to hasten the peace conference, once the Germans surrender. It is re- called that whereas the armistice or protccol which stopped the Spanish American war, was signed on August 12 q S9S 1t provided in it's terms for meet ing of the peace plenipotentaries in Paris before October l, following. The parpose was 10 assemble the conferees at the earliest practical moment.
 Probably the same purpose will gov Crn in the present instance, allowing only sufficient time to elapse to carry out the conditions, looking to the de- mobilization of the central powers armies; assembly and control of mili- 7ary supplies and establishments of Earrisons.
 Allies Dictum to Be Final.
 The entente allies and America expec, to go into the conference only after they have reached a perfect under standing among themselves, They will lay down these terms, and while they may choose to permit the latter to make arguments and pleas in abatement the result in the end must be what the Nictors choose to make it.
 Deprived of any power of resistance it is pointed out, the Teutons will b,

 In New York, party leaders are up in the air because women will vote for the first time, and there is no way of knowing how they will divide po- litically. The republican state chair man predicted Governor Whitman would be reelected by at least 100000, but democrats were equally insistent Alfred E. Smith, president of the New York City board of aldermen, would be the victor although they did not claim victory by so large d margin.
 Contests for seats in the senate have occupied the voters of Massachu- setts, Rhode Island, Delaware, New Hampshire, New Jersey and West Vir- ginia.
