Oregon Mountains, Tells Au-
thorities.

Portland, Ore, July 30.-Three
years of wandering in the all but de-
serted mountains of southern Oregon
in efforts to escape charge of evad-
ing the selective draft were ended
with Alfred Fattig, twenty-seven-year-
old farmer, in jail here.
He surrendered, he said, because of
loneliness which became unbearable.
During his wanderings, he told county
authorities, the meat Of wild animals
and berries had been his principal
means of subsistence.
Fattig and his brother, Charles, fled
to the mountains in 1917 because Of
conscientious scrupIes against war, he
declared. The brother has not been
unprecedented.

LAWRENCE COUNTY
ELECTION RESULT

The result in Lawrence county IS adj
mitted by some of the Republican lea
ders to be quite a disappointment to
them. The organization was the most
complete they have ever had sand
school house meetings were held al
most every night, and at several places
on some nights. with speakers sent out
by the organization. From State head
quarters they sent workers here, both
men and women, it is said, who spent
some time in experimenting the work
of organization and "rousing." The
majority expected ran all the way from
400 to 500, according to the enthusi-
asm and vision of the estimator. The
vote of the women usually doubles the
normal majority of county when con-
ditions are normal. This accounts for
the average expectation for Lawrence
to be about 500 Republican majority.
Mr. r, L. Vinson, chairman of the
Democratic campaign committee, says
in view of the above facts he is well
pleased with the results in Lawrence,
and he extends thanks to those who
assisted in the work

lucky 10000 Plurality
for Cox.

Latest tabulated returns in the race
between Senator Beckham and r. p.
Ernst Covington, for United States
Senator, as received by the Associated
Press and the Louisville Times, show
Senator Beckham has a majority of
6.0s4. In cases where few mountain
counties are out the majorities of 1915
have been doubled for purposes of es-
timation. This is considered a liberal
estimate and IT is believed that Sena-
tor Becllham probably will have a
larger majority than the figure indi-
Gated. Kenton county, which went
1900 for Cox, went more than 1000
for Ernst. Senator Beckham ran be-
hind and Ernst ahead of their respec-
tive tickets there, Ernst picking up
2,000
Governor Cox would seem to have
carried the State safely by about
10000.

New York, Nov. 3.-The Republican
landslide continued to roll along IN
even greater proportions today as be-
lated election returns came in from
the West.
Besides electing Harding it was as
sured that the Republicans would in
crease their margin in both houses of
Congress, and in the Senate, in partic-
ular, would change their precarious
control by one to substantial work
ing majority.
Congressional returns from many
States were slow, as were, indeed, the
returns on the vote for President. But
on the basis of actual returns at hand
and indications from. partial returns
coming in, it seemed that Harding
would have not less than 800 votes in
the electoral college with probability
of more than $780, while all that could
be counted in the Cox column were the
1877 votes from the Solid South.
Unless some sudden change We're to
appear it seemed that the returns were.
making good the Republican predtc-
ton that Cox would not carry a West
ern or Northern State.
In many of its aspects the election
was very unusual. 1t developed what
may turn out to be the greatest Repub-
lican victory of party history. Both,
the Democratic candidate and his chief
managers conceded defeat before
enough returns actually were in to
show 1t in figures.
Everywhere the shift toward the
Republican, column was heavy. Many
States which went to the Democratic
strength when Wilson defeated Hughes
in the sensational election of 1916 re-
turned to the Republican column in
| Tuesdays balloting.
Boston going Republican for the
second time in its history, New York
giving Harding an unheard-of plu-
rality and ratios of two,to one in many
states give indications of the propor-
lions of the Republican slide which
| apparently left the Democratic candi-
date nothing but the additionally solid
South.
| With the Presidency and Congress
went loss to the Democrats of Gov
ernors, State Legislatures and other
State and local candidates. The break
even threatened to extend into the
border States hitherto solid South"
with Republican gains in some South
ern states larger than any since the
| Civil War.
The unofficial results presaged a
| larger majority in the Electoral COL
lege for Senator Harding and his rum
ming mate, Governor Coolidge. OF
Massachusetts, than any since 1883.
except alone the vote of ABS for Presi-
dent Wilson in 1912, during the Re-
publican split"
The Republican Congressional swing
was as strong, increased majorities In
both Senate and House being marked
UP. Early today victory for virtually
all fifteen Republican Senators for re-
election was spelled by the returns,
while about half dozen of the nine
teen Democratic candidates were bait
| Ting against Republican leads.
Kentucky Returns.
Old Kentucky has come back home,
regardless OF the money Of Ernst and
Hert and national headquarters. Cox
and Beckham win by safe majorities
and a Congressman is gained in the
eighth district.
