z STATES VITAL TO
CONGRESS control

Almost at the close e the cam
paiEn for the control OF the next
Congress, the Sixty-sixth, well in
formed forecasters on the results Of
the elections Tuesday said today the
outcome would depend on the ballot
ing in a small list OF States.
It is not impossible the question OF
control will hinge on two States
Rhode Island, which may decide the
Senate, and Kansas. which may de-
eide the House.
Although managers OF the cam
paigns on each side are talking about
landslides, the fact IS there is the
greatest uncertainty among the lead
ers in both parties. The House and
Senate in the next Congress may
prove to be extremely close as to
party division.
As to the Senate, the Democrats
are making q great hght to defeat
Senator Colt. Republican incumbent,
in Rhode Island. The Republicans
are fighting hard to elect him. II
they felt more certain OF re-electing
him they would feel less in doubt
about the Senate. They believe they
can make gains enough elsewhere in
that event to swing the control to
their side. The Senate now stands
dfty-tWo Democrats to forty-four Re
pubIicaus The Republicans must
make a net gain OF five to control
They expect to gain a Senator In
New Hampshire, Illinois, Delaware,
Kansas and at least one other State.

KONENKAMP STAYS
"HASTY ACTION"

President S. ]. Konenkamp, Of the
Commercial Telegraphers' Union, last
night called upon district units
throughout the country to take mo
hasty action" until Postmaster Cen
eraI Burleson has had further time
to investigate telegraphers gieV-
ances against the Western Union
company.
Konenkamp, In agreement with q
committee named for the purpose,
wired a report to the districts last
night
ain view Of the prospect Of prompt
action being taken by the Wire
Board, Konenkamp said. 1--WE have
recommended against any movement
leading toward a strike at this time.
The Washington times., 1918-11-03

A number of cities already have
taken the strike vote and while they
have many grievances we feel rea-
sonably confident that they will be
adjusted before many days have
passed"
The telegraphers say their griev-
ance is that some 700 operators have
been discharged By the Western Un-
ION without just cause and demands
for their reinstatement have been
taken to. the Wire Board and thence
to the War Labor Board

LOVED HUSBAND,
SO SHE SHOT HIM

NEW YORK. Nov. 3-Uuder the
judges bench, empty during a snort
recess of the court. could be heard
footsteps. Little feet that hadn't
known so very long how to walk had
climbed into the Judicial chair. A
little goIden-haired fellow laughed
and waved his small fists at a sad
eyed woman in the courtroom and
in all her misery. she had to smile
back at him.
For the woman with the wan smile,
because she loved a man, had shot
him.
They had been separated, this
couple, and when she could endure
the absence no longer, and her hus-
hand refused to come Back, she
sought him out and shot him. .fs
Eyes Tell Anguish.
Only her preoccupied manner, her
sensitive looking hands, trembling
lips, and shadowy eyes told Of the
anguish in her soul. Friends said
she had been brooding over the loss
of her husbands love and that her
paIlor was due to insufficient nourish-
ment, since to. the the loyesick
woman eating had become sickening.
At her trial, Mrs. Maud Scutt win
be an interesting study for the alien
list and phycho analyst, and the latter
will understand her better than any
since he has classified those who.
under stress, want to hurt or kill
those they love.
2n1 ~ khnRn Vuhn Kill
when they love. It tells OF killing
with a bitter look. a fattering word,
a cowardly kiss, but reiterRtes that
the kindest use a weapon that the
dead may grow cold soon. This last
was what Mrs. Scutt attempted.
Gave Him Her Money.
To her husband, an inventor. Mrs.
Scutt had given all her money, S60.-
coo. Scutt is absorbed in his work,
so his wife says. And to a man or
woman in love, a career is said TO be
q more deadly rival than a third per-
son. Mrs. Scutt found this out for
she denies the existence OF any rival
but the work of her husband.
The arraignment was over and the
prisoner was led away to her cell
She was completely distracted then.
Her friends gathered about her and
spasmodic kisses were exchanged by
a few women, and a young man in
khaki shook her hand vigorously.
Probably the only person in the
courtroom who was not depressed by
this spectacle was the three-year-old
son of a friend who was held up TO
wave "Good-by." but the prisoner had
no eyes for him that last time.
A Woman Scorned.
The story Of Maud Scutt is the
history Of the woman scorned. To
begin with. her life has not been a
happy one. Divorced from her first
husband she had already known dis
Illusionment before her marriage
with Scutt. She sought happiness,
which ever eludes those who cpenly
seek it.
Misunderstanding and disagreement
were the lot Of the woman who only
wanted the whoIe-heartod love OF her
husbnad. and finally they agreed to
| live apart Mrs. Scutt went back TO
her girlhOOd home in the West, and
one day there came a promise from
Scutt to go thereto and talk over
things with her.
But that day never came. and the

woman who waited could wait no
longer. So she came back unasked
and unexpected by her Indifferent
husband. He refused to live with her
again and paid the penalty when she
shot him down.
Begged to Nurse Him.
Remorse for her act led to her
frantic demands to be allowed to
nurse the man she had mortally
wounded.
Perhaps she still has hope OF a
reconciliation in case of his recovery
and perhaps she hopes that he may
live, not merely that she may escape
the fullest penalty OF the law, but for
his own sake. There can be no doubt
OF her deep grief and regret.

France for furnishing such a leader)
and the arrival of hundreds OF thou
sands Of militant and fighting Amer
leans. the tide began to change. From
Chateau Thierry and the supreme
military command OF General Foch,
the allied forces date their victories
and the brighter skies that now bend
over US.
Lesson to Voters.
''That step, which has proved its
necessity and its wisdom, has a les
son for American voters today. That
overshadowing issue in the election
on November 5th is this: Shall the
American well-dehned position con-
tinue to be voiced by one RESPONSE
BILE leader in the person of the Presi-
dent, or shall we substitute for uni
fed command a discordant and Diff
fering debating society?
Every voter who approves making
Foch the commander of all the forces
in France should vote to continue
Woodrow Wilson as the commander
in-chief OF Americas demands upon
Germany.
Every man who votes for a Re
publican Congress votes for debat-
ing society instead of a unified, firm,
and unmistakable pressing OF Amer
ica's fourteen demands plus freedom
for the Czecho-SlOvaks, added later.
Every man who votes for a Demo-
cratic Congress in sympathy with the
President votes to tell Germany: We
will have no dealing with war lords
or miIitarism except surrender Prus-
-
firm note. Great Britain, France,
Italy, and the other free nations ap-
prove It. ---- -.-
Every man who votes for a Re
publican Congress jeopardizes Amer
ica's strong position and encourages
Prussian continuance in the war.
Issue Clearly Drawn.
There is no escape from iais plain
issue. Lincoln pointed out how defeat
OF a Congress of his party would i'm
peril his leadership in 1852. Benja-
min Harrison and Theodore Roosevelt
pointed out that the election OF a
/ Democratic Congress. would injure
Americas prestige and erDoarrass
William Mckinley. Were they right;
| We voters of the country declared
that they were.
Then the same reasoning, with
/ greater power just as this war and
| its consequences are greater than
any other war, demand the election
of a Democratic Congress in harmony
with the -in-chief OF the
| American army and navy.
ANY other course would be like
making Foch commander-in-chief and
I eIecting colonels and captains tc
/ criticise, badger, debate, and delay
/ his program. This is time for ac-
/ tion. The hour Gala for American
/ solidarity and American unity oi
command in Washington, as well as
| in France"
The Washington times., 1918-11-03
France Agrees.

1.-THE government of Mr.. Clemen-
ceau. the great French leader. is, ]
am happy to say. heartily in agree
ment with your government in this su-
preme phase OF our common crusade.
Reverting to the military situation
preceding the present crisis. Tardieu
said:
you, Americans, coming into the
battle at the rate OF 100000 men per
month, you brought to the under
standing Of an enemy already doomed
by our resistance the realization that
their downfall was unavoidable and
would be a speedy one. From the
military and political standpoint our
situation Is excellent"
He pointed out that 100000 pris-
oners had been taken; that the allies
have more battle reserves than the
boche; that the German army can
not reorRanize itself after it's three
and a half months OF battering even
with a shortened front; that German
munitions and men are gradually
weakening.

Complete victory.

should they confess it, the war
will end and through the acceptance
OF our conditions.
should they not, we shall enforce
that acceptance. Thus our diplo-
matte position has brought to COM
pletion the work OF our armies by
compelling our adversaries to ac-
knowledge what the President so
aptly called the military supremacy
Of the allies
"The frame OF mind OF the allied
troops may be expressed in one word.
they are ready to fight till victory
be complete. They want this victory
to be complete. They know it will
be.
But they are pleased, likewise.
that every guarantee having been
taken against the German ruse and
deceit. no chance has been neglected
of insuring by a safe peace the vic
tory of right.
ain short, everything which states
manship, crowning the success OF our
arms, could have done in order to
hasten the decision has been done and
well done. All that is needed is to
go on.
