One Southern Republican

ATLANTA, Nov 2.-Support of the democratic administration, made the subject of an appeal by President Will son, already has been granted in the south through the democratic primar- ies, in which all except one candidate pointed out by the president as having failed to support the administration, were eliminated.
 Representative Huddleston of the ninth Alabama district, the only demo- cratic candidate opposed by President Wilson for nomination in the primar- ies, who was not defeated, will have an opponent in J. o. Thompson, a repubi- can.
 According to political leaders, the congressional districts in which repub- lican opposition appears serious, are the first and second Tennessee, the ninth Virginia and two districts in North Carolina
 Main Issue Win the War SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 2-The most silent political campaign ever waged in the far west closed tonight. Epidemics of Spanish influenza prevailed in most of the eleven states where candidates will be chosen Tuesday, for state and national offices, and effectively cur tailed the usual speaking programs. OrQerS or the health DOardS promoted public gatherings and the candidates were compelled, more than ever, to reach the voters through the medium of newspaper columns.
 | Sectional and partisan issues for the most part were subordinated by the candidates to the major issue of win- ming the war. An eleventh hour inter- est was injected into the campaigns for national offices, however, by President Wilson's appeal for the election of | democratic candidates to congress. The appeal had the effect of quickening the activities of party leaders and an in 1 creased vote is expected as a result l In Arizona, Colorado, Montana, Ida ho, Nevada. Washington, Oregon, Utah, | Wyoming, New Mexico, and California | thirty three representatives and nine senators are to be elected.

 It is not believed the Germans have an organized system of defense be- tween the American front and this Mouse line, as they had the greatest confidence that the Freya, Kriemhilde and other lines could hold in spite e any attacks designed to break them. The so-called Mouse line has the ad- vantage of important railroad juno tioDs connecting 1t with the main line direct from Germany by several routes.

 The total advance averaged more than 2h miles on 14 mile front, but was considerably greater at points. Numerous prisoners and heavy guns were taken and the enemy left many ammunition dumps SO hastily that they could not be destroyed.

Germans Disguise Retreat


 WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES NORTHWEST OF VERDUN, Nov. ?. -(By the Associated Press, p. m. J. General Pershings forces continued their attack in the region west Of the Mouse this afternoon, capturing Posse. This represents an advance of four miles from the starting line through Bayonville-
 The Germans gave little if any in dication of an impending retreat until this afternoon. All morning long the Americans on every part of the front had met with stubborn resistance.
 The opposition was especially de- termined on the left and right, and the American center had pushed for ward considerably further than had either wing. Though the center had in tended to continue and to attain it's days objectives, it was apparent there would soon have to be a pause, if the troops were not to be flanked.
 So certain were the military com- manders that the Germans would not break, that the chief of staff of the troops in the center, belittled the re- port arriving about 2 o'clock this af- ternoon that the town of Posse had been taken.

 Suddenly Huns Give Way
 The first intimation that the enemy was retreating came from the fourth | French army, which was advancing to the northeast. Within a sort time various American units, from all parts of the line, announced that they also were advancing and were finding the resistance, which was so marked all morning, melting away on the right Even troops in motor trucks had not been able to catch up with the enemy.
 The Americans were not slow in fol- lowing the advantage on the left wing, which had met with the most serious resistance and began to press forward immediately in the Bois des Loges, on the heels of the Germans, clearing up all who Jagged behind. They pushed their line northward for nearly a mile Campigneulle. a strong point in the Freya defense line, had been taken earlier in the day and the troops who had rushed 1t, pressed forward and swept through Verpel, after partly surrounding the town.
 Through rain and mud the Ameri- cans advanced toward Thenorgues, a mile and half north of Verpel. The enemy had been expected to hold there, for it was a strong position, but very little resistance was met when the vil- | lage was entered.
 Take Several Small Towns
 Troops further to the right con- tinued their victorious march ane fought their way beyond Buzancy to Posse, a strong point nearly seven miles beyond yesterdays starting point, and two and half miles north of Bayonville.
 Bayonville is an important strategic point, known as the heart of the Freya Steelung. With it's capture the Ameri- can troops had broken the Germans last organized defenses. The troops on the right, who had been able to ad- vance only just past Clery-le- Grand yesterday, caught the mysterious signs of the sudden giving way of the Ger mans and pressed forward and into

Fight Before Dawn

The attack was begun in the darkest hour before dawn, and by firing these homesteads, the Germans threw the advancing troops out in bold relief, which enabled the machine gunners to operate freely. At the same time the German artillery put down a terrific barrage which continued for hours. Straight through this blaze of light the Yankees charged and began the work of clearing out the machine gun posts. No direct frontal attack was made on

 Into the advancing force rapid firers poured a vicious fire from concealed positions in the woods. Every farm house and haystack along the way, and there were many, contained its machine gun which was chattering rapidly. Each of these had to be surrounded and sub- dued in turn, as the Americans moved forward. Very few civilians had left this district. The farmers and their families were still living in houses which the Germans had seized for ma chine gun posts, and while the grey coats were sending streams of bullets from the upper windows and loopholes in the lofts, the people were down be- low in terror. waiting for they knew not what. Every precaution was taken by the Americans to spare these unfortu- nate people. The houses were sur rounded and the Germans taken pris oner or killed.
 The wood was taken after several hours of fierce fighting and all the Germans cleaned out. AS the day pro- gressed the going became easier, but this American division will never for get the first hour of that battle.
