New York. Nov. 3-The crest of the
Republican election wave, both presi-
dental and congressional. continued
to rise tonight, as belated returns

ualties which developed during the

ing, were the defeats of Representa-
tives Champ Clark, of Missouri, Demo

gears and former speaker; Represen-
tstive Bee, of Texas; and the re-elec-
ton OF a Republican senator from
Missouri; as we'll as the sudden jump
OF Senator Harding into the lead in
Oklahoma.
Democrats Lead in Tenn.
Tennessee hung by narrow thread
according to the latest available re-
ports. with the Democrats in the lead
bv a small margin. The Republican
Senate majority will be about ten, as
compared with but two at the present
time, and the majority in the low r
house will be around one hundred as
against forty odd. These were other

Il xHhs, Republicans.
4 EEieht :, II Still Doubtful
With about eight states still doubtful
in the presidential and senatorial con-
tests. huge majorities are assured for
Senator Warren &. Harding, with at
least 346 electoral votes. Gov. Cox
is certain of only 127. and all of these
are from the "Solid South, includ-
ing Kentucky. Unless the final returns
give Tennessee to the Republicans the
South will remain unbroken, all other
states having gone for Cox beyond
question.

ing instructed in Sahara wrestling,
which is combination of the most
effective jiujitsu tricks, by Capt. Allan

themselves in the latest system of
physical training. Capt. Smith is one

How did the term Indian summer

A busy writer, doing daily stunt,
may be excused for falling into such
errors, especially when the matter is
admittedly obscure, but it is another
matter when we consult the encyclo-

the origin of the term is unknown.
That's what encyclopedias are for, to

IS NOT A BAD IDEA


Here's an idea that Dickinson
county might follow with profit:
Harvey county is receiving a gen.
erous amount of free advertising just
now, wholesome or otherwise, de-
pending upon how you look at It.
This is an account Of the action OF
the county officials, based upon a
general demand that speeding on the
public highways be kept within the
reasonable limits Of the state laws.
This demand followed a series of
serious motor car collisions occasion
ed by fast driving on the good road.i
In the county.
In order to meet the situation, the
board Of county commissioners
authorized the sheriff to place spec
ial officers on the highway with in
structiOns to arrest any motor car
driver caught speeding by section
corners. During the month OF Aug
ust a total OF seven such sneeders
were arrested and given small fines.
All Of these drivers pleaded guilty
save one.
