GENERAL ELECTION
IN ALL The STATES
TEXAS DEMOCRATS WIN WITH
USUAL MAJORITlES-AM
MENTS CARRIED.
IN The Other STATES
Reports to Date Show Republican
Gains-Democrats Lose Some
House Seats-Senate
Lead Cut.

AH democratic nominees for seate
and district offices in Texas were
elected Tuesday. Reports thus far
received indicate that the vote was
unusually light and that it divided as
between democrats and republicans in
about the same proportion as in 1916,
with a slight gain indicated for the
democrats and a slight loss for the re-
publiCans. The socialist vote shrunk
TO negligible proportions, but its loss
does not appear to have been absorbed
by the other parties.
Both of the constitutional amend
ments carried by large majorities. One
of these provides that testimony in all
antitrust suits may be taken by depo-
sition in the case of out-of-state wit
nesses. The other increases the state
school tax from zoe to 35c and re-
quires the state government to furnish
free textbooks to all pupils in the pub
lie schools.
for governor, Hobby (Dem.), 32,377;
Boynton (Rep), 6,196; Simpson (Soc.),
$50. For testimony amendment, 20,-
161; against, 1904. For textbook
amendment, 21,740; against, 6,481.
With the Michigan and Idaho sena-
torial contests still in doubt, returns to
date from Tuesdays elections give the
republicans a total of 48 senator's
just half the membership and lacking
one vote necessary to insure control
aud 46 to the democrats.
Republican control of the house,
however, is now beyond all question.
With only one district missing-the
Second Montapa-the returns show:
Republicans 23S, democrats 1876. includ
ing one independent; socialist l, miss
ing l.
Returns to date show plainly that
Speaker Clark, instead of being de-
feated, as was reported as being likely,
has been reelected by a substantial
majority
With the senatorial returns still
missing from Michigan, Idaho and
New Mexico, the figures showed that
the republican, had lost one-that of
Senator Weeks of Massachusetts,
while the democrats had lost six. The
senators who will be retired are Sha-
froth of Colorado, Salisbury of Della
ware, Lewis of Illinois, Thompson of
Kansas, Whitley of Missouri and Hollis
of New Hampshire.
Southern states east of the Missis-
sippi river returned their usual solid
democratic delegation to the house of

for the senate were re-
elected. There was no turnover any
where.

GERMAN ENJOYS BLINDFoLDED
ON ENTERING FRENCH LINES

Paris.-Describing the arrival of the
German ENJOYS at the French lines
the Intransigeant says the automobiles
carried white flags and were preceded
by trumpeter. Some French soldiers
under an officer approached them on
the road just outside the lines.
The delegates established their iden-
tity and showed their credentials. The
eyes of the members of the German
party were then blindfolded and the
delegates proceeded to the place
where they spent the night
All the company of the German road

Woman suffrage has been defeated
IN Louisiana by a majority ranging
around 1000 or 5000, according to the
latest figures available from the cleo
tion. Defeat of the suffrage amend
ment, it appears from the returns, was
accomplished through the large ma
1ority piled up against the measure
by the New Orleans political organi-
cation
The vote in the city was SAIL for

jority of 9,08l against the amendment.
The vote in the country was light and
the city vote will overwhelm the par
ishes, thus defeating suffrage.
Incomplete returns show that the
parishes of Caddo, Ouachita, ST. Tam
many, Washington, East Baton Rouge,
Beauregard, Jefferson Davis, Tangi-
pahoa, Webster and Winn gave major
tiles for suffrage, while suffrage lead
in Jefferson parish. Vermilion, st.

the returns, went against suffrage.

tions: Several East Texas counties,
including Dallas and Rockwall, where
the open turkey season is March and
April, with bag limit Of two turkeys.
The same group of counties forbid the
killing of squirrels except in August,
September, October, November and
December, and bag limit of five per
day.
Ducks There is no state law, ex-
cept fixing bag limit at fifteen per day.
The federal regulations permit shoot
ing of ducks and geese from October
Is to January l. They can not be shot
out of motor-propelled boat.
The state law fixes a bag limit of
fifteen on quail, doves and ducks,
