SOME BITTER FIGHTS
South Dako.a and Califor-
MIA Sure-Chances Good
in Some Other States.
HARDING SWEEP MAY AID
Birdseye View of Campaigns
in Illinois, Missouri and
All Close Bailiwicks.

All eleventh hour information points
to Republican control Of the Senate in
the next Congress by a majority of at
least six-four more than the present
slim majority of two.
4 Politicians of both parties who try
honestly to form unbiased judgments,
and reports from every State where
there are Senatorial contests agree as
the campaign comes to an end that
the fight for control of the Senate is
extremely close, although at the same
time they agree that the Republican
Presidential ticket and the House Of
Representatives will go over on next
Tuesday in a nation wide Republican
landslide.
The closeness of the Senate contest
IS due partly to bitter local factional
fights, and partly to the fact that
while a new President and Vice-Presi-
dent and complete new House are to
be elected this year, only one-third
Of the ninety-six Senator's are to be
regularly elected, plus the filing Of
two vacancies caused by death.
The Democratic propagandsts have
been making the usual extravagant
claims that they will gain seats now
occupied by Republicans. But THE NEW
York HERALD forecast holds out no
strong hope of Democratic Senatorial
gains anywhere. despite the fact that the
contests in many States have reached the
point of extreme bitterness. On the con-
trary, the information collected by THE
New YORK HERALD in the last week of
the campaign shows that there is de-
clded drift toward the Republicans in
several States now represented in the
Senate by Democrats

Wisconsin Legion Men

World War Veterans Urged to

GREEN BAY, Wis, June ga sec
ond call to the colors of their country
was issued to Wisconsin veterans of the
World War at the annual convention of
the Wisconsin Department of the Amer
lean Legion, opened here to-day. This
time the fighting men were urged to
stamp out the "hidden enemy within
their midst"
Wisconsin Socialists were scored as
the "backers of the slackers party" by
John C. Davis, Milwaukee, state COM
mander. in his opening address. Mr.
Davis referred to the recent state con-
vontion of the Socialists, which urged
amnesty for political prisoners and
pleaded with the Legionnaires to do
their part in seeing that the men "who
disregarded their duty" during the war
be brought to Justice

Hospital IL, Hall Dry;
Hope of BibuIous Fails

SAN FRANCISCO, June 90
The dry issue got into the session
from an amusing angle. An an
nouncement that a corps of
nurses and sixteen doctors" were
conducting a hospital in the Au-
ditorium drew the fire of dry.
"Do they write prescriptions"
he demanded in voice that car
ried throughout the hall. Galleries
and floor joined in a burst of
laughter, from which rose cries
of "Doctor." Doctor :" Hospital
corps, this way!" and the like.
When he could be heard, the sec
retary shouted: "This is dry
hospital" and the convention
rumbled on again with mirth.

Cox Managers
Beg Vainly for
Tanmany Aid
Continued from paQs one)

in favor of a modification of the Vol
stead act. That is going further than
Cox is willing openly to 60.
The New York leaders told Judge
Moore that Tammany's mind was made
up on the wet and dry question. and
that Tammany would urge the nation
a. convention to adopt liberal plank.
Judge Moore came back with the argu-
ment that no candidate known to be
wet could win in the convention. He
directed the attention of Murphy,
Mack and others to the fact that vets
IN Ohio always had supported Cox and
that Cox had never disappointed
them, and he argued that New York
Democrats, desiring the thing that
line up with Ohio.
Then came the other phase of the
Cox candidacy, made clear in these
dispatches on Monday-the Cox di-
vorce matter. In vain did Judge Moore
try to convince the New York leaders
that it never was a handicap against
Governor Cox among his neighbors
and never could be in the country at
large. 1t was made clear to Judge Moore
that Tammany was concerned about
the Cox divorce disability, and that the
the women Of the Tammany organiza-
tion. the more serious this disability
became.
Judge Moore went away from the
conference without positive assurance
that Cox will get any support from
New York, although the Tammany
door was not exactly closed against
him.
Furthermore, the repeated warnings
from some Of the upstate delegates
about the peril to the party. especially
upstate, in standing out for wet
plank of any sort, have made an i'm
preston on the Tammany leaders. The
delegation. with few dissenting votes,
went on record in. support of the Mack
resolution calling for q liberalzing Of
the Volstead enforcement act, but the
delegation has not forgotten the warning
from Mrs. Susanna Thompson, of
Steuben; Manton NJ. Wyvell Of Wells
Vile, and Hiram r. Wood, of Monroe,
all of whom told the Democratic lead
ers plainly and bluntly that the up
state Democrats are through with
booze, and that they will turn to the
on the part Of Tho organization leaders
to oppose the prohibition law.
The state leader could stand opposi-
tion from Mayor I.unn of Schenectady
and from former Judge Seabury. both
of whom are regarded as chronic kick
ers Their opposition is held lightly
But when the plain people, halting i,
the expression of their views, nervous
because of their being in the minority
in homely back country phraseology
say that the word wet this year spells
defections from the Democrats above
the Bronx, it makes an impression
That is why the Tammany men ar,
soberer in their thinking to-day thar
ever before and that is why, in the
main, Judge Moore. the Ohio Cover
nor's manager. made little headway
with Murphy, Mack and Farley
Tammany, by its formal action, IS
committed to wet plank, but the com
mitment was made to insure solidarity
in Greater New York. 1t was made
with the growing conviction that it will

ARMISTICE DAY
PROCLAMATION

The eleventh day of November
next will be the second anniver-
sary of the signing of the Armis-
tice in the Great War, and, mas
much as the Michigan Legisla-
ture in the session of 1919 passed
an act making it the duty of the
school officers and teachers to
have said day observed with
commemorate exercises, it is fit
ting that the day should not be
allowed to pass without attention
being called to it's significance.
Therefore, /, ALBERT f..
SLEEPER, Governor of the State
of Michigan, do issue this procla-
nation and hereby request a prop
er and appropriate observance, on
the part of the people Of the state
Of Thursday, the Eleventh Day of
November, 1920.
Following the proclamation of
President Wilson, l further re-
quest that on Sunday, November
the fourteenth, 1920, memorial
services be held for our heroic
dead, for the soldiers, sailors and
marines who gave up their lives
in our cause in the World War,
and that on this day flags be dis
played at half staff.
Given under my hand and the
Great Seal of the State, this 18th
day of October, in the year one

ty, and of the Commonwealth the

DIES IN CALIFORNIA

Estella Francis writes us from
Los Angeles, Calf, that her faith
er, John b. Francis, died at his
home, 1I14 w. 55th street, on
October 18th, 1920, after an ill
moss lasting seven years.
Mr.. Francis was for a number
of years a resident of Brockway
township and the city of Yale. He
owned and worked the farm now
occupied by Harvey S. Hydorn,
and afterwards was in the hard
ware business under the firm name
OF Francis & Mapes.
For the past ten years Mr.. Fran
els has resided in California.
"A widow and eight children
survive to mourn the loss of a
kind and affectionate husband and
father. The children are:-Fred,
Frank, Alex, Vaughn, Estella,
Eva, Roy and Jay.
The many friends of the deceas-
ed in Yale sympathize with the
bereaved in their sorrow.

entire REPUBLICAN
TICKET IS WINNER
HARDING, COOLIDGE AND GROESBECK HAVE
SAFE LEAD THROUGHOUT STATE --SCHOOL
AMENDMENT DEFEATED.

Many times in past years when
election dav dawned cloudy and
stormy as it did last Tuesday we
have heard the remark that ut
was a Democratic day" If there is
anything in the old dope the guy
who hands out the weather in
Washington certainly rung in a
joker, for never in the history Of
presidential elections has a candi-
date for the office of President of
the United States received such
all overwhelming victory.
A veritable landslide has made
Warren G. Harding our president,
and the Expositor believes the
people made a good choice. With
he and his running mate, Calvin
Coolidge, the affairs of the union
are in safe hands.
Practically all of the northern
and western states give big Re-
publican majority, and the pros
poets are rosy for a Republican
majority in both the Senate and
Congress, for two years at least.
The State ticket, as usual, goes
Republican with as large, if not
larger majority than ever before.
Alex. Groesbeck will be our next
governor, having defeated Ferris
nearly three to one.
All the other aspirants for Of
fee on the Republican ticket are
carried in by Harding and Cool
idge.
In the county the Democrats
stood very little show from the
start, and late returns only bring
the Republican lead higher.
The school amendment, while
winning in Yale by four to one
vote, and carrying in Brockway
and Lynn townships, is defeated
in the state by large vote.
The p,ans of the board of sup
ervisors for money to build addi-
tions to the present court house
to the tune of $3.50, 900 have gone
a-glimmering, for the people of
the county seem to think they are
asking too much.
On the inside of this issue will
be found complete returns as re-
ceived in Detroit up to 4 o'clock on
Wednesday afternoon.
, One pleasing feature of the
election was the presence of the
women voters, and the results
show that they did very well for
beginners, as only a few ballots
out of the entire $50 which were
cast in the city of Yale had to be
thrown out on account Of the
voter misunderstanding the law.

HALLOWEEN FRANKS

Shame on the coming manhood
and grown men of Yale when it is
found necessary to send a sheriff
from the county seat to probe in
to the matter of desecration of
public and private property by
youths and those having better
sense, who seem to think that any
prank is right and lawful when
done on Halloween.
For years and years people have
put up with the doings of Hallow-
cen, when at times they have
been greatly inconvenienced by
finding their movable properties
moved to some other place and
others substituted, or by various
other tricks. Quite generally has
it all been borne good naturedly
when the acts have not been wan
tonly destructive. But when, as
was the case of last Saturday
night, property has been Destroy
ed or mutilated, seemingly in the
very spirit Of lawlessness, it is
time a halt was called on the ac-
tivities of Halloween and the law
be brought to bear on the culprits,
The time is going by when such
acts will be condoned. The youths
and older ones of our little city
must be brought to respect the
rights Of others. Once learned,
the lesson will not need repeating.
AS long as the world lasts it is
probable that Halloween will be
a time for devilish pranks, natur-
al and harmless, but there is
easily limit to such, which limit
should never be allowed to pass.

Clarence S. MOleswarth Crushed
When Stone Bin Falls
Dies Wednesday Morning

ThOmpson's gravel pit, west and
north Of Yale, was the scene of
shocking accident Tuesday after
noon, which resulted in fatal in
juries to Clarence Molesworth, 20
years of age, son Of Mr.. and Mrs.
VIM. Molesworth, Of Yale, and
broken leg to Alex. Robertson,
who lives east of Yale.
The two men were working on
the county road job drawing grav-
ed. At one end of the big screen
was a stone bin, which caught
the rocks that were too big to use
on the road job. The wagon was
pulled under the bin to receive a
load and in some manner, just as
the two men were directly under
meath it gave way, pinning them
under the big load of stone. Mr..
Robertson was soon released, as
he was riding in the front end of
the wagon, and the stones only
caught one Of his legs, but Clar-
ence was in the rear and was bur.
led under the weight of stone. AS
son as possible he was taken out
and removed to his home on First
street, and Drs. Andrews and
Pollock were hastily summoned.
From his injuries it seemed that
he was hurt internally and it was
deemed advisable to take him to
the Port Huron hospital for an
X-Ray examination. His parents
accompanied him to that city,
where everything possible was
done for him, but the shock and
injuries were too severe. and ne
passed away at 600 o'clock
Thursday morning.
The remains were brouCnt back
to Yale on the morning train and
conveyed to his hoe. Funeral
services will be held Friday after
noon from the Oynard church Rev.
Leland Marion, of the Mechanic
street Church Of Christ, officiat-
ing. Intermcnt will be made in the
Omard c.heJery.
ClaIe ence S. Molesworth was
hc-n near Omard, Sanilac county
September 26, 1900. He came with
his parents to Yale about year
ago, and has been working in the
city since. He was Of a quiet dis
position, and had many friends
among the young people, all of
whom are panied to hear of his
untimely death.
The EXpositor joins with the
entire community in extending
deepest sympathy to the bereaved
relatives in their deep sorrow.
