SULzER SWEEPS
 THE TERRITORY
Late Returns Show Maloney Defeated by Avalanche of Votes-Demo-
 cratic Ticket Safe

Returns from many parts of the territory today show that Charles A. Sulzer has received the Democratic nomination by probably 25O0 votes. Maloney's aspirations have been bur jed under an avalanche of votes, and the total is growing larger as the re- turns come in. The second division will undoubtedly go for Maloney by probably 100 majority. but the first, third and fourth will be landslide for Sulzer.
 The second division could have been carried for Sulzer by handsome majority could the voters have been reached by the opposition campaign literature, but the district is isolated during the winter months and it was impossible to present the issues to the voters, many of whom voted for Ma loney with the idea that he was an administration man and not knowing that he had joined the Bolsheviki.
 By Saturday we will have the gen. eral vote in and can give our readers some idea of how the rest of the can didates ran. Our correspondents ln most instances failed to send a com plete vote, and the nomination Of sen ator. road commissioner, and repre- sentatiyes are in doubt. The entire democratic ticket is nominated, but on the republican ticket several con- tests developed, and it is these which cause the interest.

impossible to get the best on account
of the water courses encountered.
1t is the belief of Mr. Hayden and

Hunt mine north Of Quapaw, passes
through the Alamo lease and It Is on
that theory that the shaft is sunk.

BATTLEFIELD SOUVENIRS
Commissioner Perkins Gets German
Relics from His Son in
France


The Galena Times publishes the
following interesting story concern
ing a former Baxter boy, the grand
SON of l.. Mury Perkins:
When County Commissioner Ira c.
Perkins got his mail today, there was
bulky package in 1t which had come
all the way from France, where his
son, Lieut.. Lindley NJ. Perkins, has
been with the American fighting engi-
neers for q long time.
When Mr.. Perkins opened the pack
age, the first thing that came to light
was German helmet, which had been
picked up, doubtless from the fallen
body of some Hun whose soul had
gone back to Hell.
Then there was a pair of heavy
mittens, reinforced at the thumb and
with q big buckle on the back. Also,
the package contained rusty bell.
II haven't received the letter Of ex-
PLANTATION yet" said Mr.. Perkins. "But
imagine all these things have a his.
tory"
In any case, the American boys are
making history for themselves ovei
there. And among them, Lieut.. Perk'
ins has been engaged in some Of the
most dangerous work of all, though
his letters speak of it lightly. It il
the engineers who build and repair the
rail lines which lead right up to the
front trenches, and over which the
ammunition and supplies must go
Sometimes shellfire destroys these
lines, ten times a day, but they mus
be repaired, and bridges must bt
maintained.
II was the engineers last year
when the Huns poured across thu
Marne, who resisted with shovels
crowbars, clubs, and even rocks, ane
gave the Germans the first ltera
taste of what they might expect wheT
they ran up against the Yanks that
were armed with guns.
