uncertain states of New York, Ohio
and Indiana can elect Cox and Roose-
welt.
In New York the chances are ad-
mitted at this time to be rather
against the democrats, though at the
outset of the campaign they were
favorable. Ohio is certainly very
much in doubt. Cox was nominated
largely because of the belief that he
could carry Ohio.
In Indiana the republicans admit
that their situation is bad and the
democrats are very hopeful of carry
| ing this pivotal state.
Even if New York should go re-
publican that would net remove the
element of legitimate doubt as to the
outcome of the election. New York
does not make things certain Tor
either party, as was demonstrated IN
1916. There are serious causes OF
republican uncertainty In states IKE
Wisconsin, Minnesota and Nebraska;
Nobody knows what Wisconsin Will
do. Her republican organization is
"all shot to pieces" and it is Just
question of where the pieces will go.
Minnesota gave the republicans
terrible scare In 1916, Wnen ZOU
more democratic votes would have
given the state to Wilson. Nebraska
is VIGOROUSLY uncertain, with very
strong democratic tendency. And
New Jersey and Connecticut might
develop republican disappointments.
In every presidential election there
is some surprise furnished by one OF
the states which have been counted
on to vote as before. These surprises
are much more likely in the north
and west than in the south, so that
the democrats have rather the adj
vantage of the chances in this re-
spect. Their own sure territory is
surer than the republican sure terri
tory. Politicians are foolish to pre-
dict that Pennsylvania or Vermont
will 20 democratic, or that any south
ern state will go republican. Outside
of that, anything may happen in a
presidential election. That is why the
republicans, with all their sweeping
claims, are at heart apprehensive,
and that is why the democratic man
ayers are entering hopefully upon
the last campaign stages. No battle
is won until it is over.

ELEPHANT RUNS MAD
IN CIRCUS; IS SHOT
SEVERAL VOLLEYS WERE SENT
INTO HIM AS HE PLAYED BALL
WITH CAGES OF ANIMALS.

SALIVA, Kan.-Synder, $4,000
trained elephant owned by circus
showing here, is dead. He met his
death at the hands of firing squad.
Everything was in readiness for
the afternoon performance. Under
the great white canvas tent clicked
the showgoers. From the rear came
a roar. Snyder had taken otfense at
the appearance of new trainer. He
refused to be subdued, and in a few
minutes the crowd was thrown into
a panic. They surged through the
doors and crawled through the holes
in the side of the tent, while Sny-
der started to play ball with the
cages of the wild animals.
Then firing squad with five
army rifles was put into action. The
shooters took their places on the
tops of cages and waited for an OPP
portunity to fire. A volley, then an
other and still another were poured
into the enraged brute. The elephant
made a last desperate attempt to
reach his enemies, but the steel bull
lets had reached their mark.

DISMISS HOUSTON
DEMAND GROWERS
FARMERS CHARGE SECRETARY
is WORKING AGAINST THEM.
PLAN ACREAGE REDUCTION.

ATLANTA, Ga.-A resolution re-
questing President Wilson to remove
David F. Houston from the office of
secretary of the United States treas
ury was adopted Saturday morning
by the Georgia division of the Amer
lean Cotton Association, in annual
meeting here.
Made Cotton Drop.
The resolution was prepared by
the resolutions committee appointed
at Fridays session. 1t was adopted
after considerable lively discussion.
A consistently unfriendly attitude
toward the farmers while secretary
of agriculture and secretary of the
treasury is charged to Mr.. Houston.
He is accused with starting the ia
nous raid on cotton two years ago
when he was secretary of agricul-
ture and when cotton dropped from
38 cents to less than 25 cents follow
ing'his statement that 25 cents was
an adequate price. The resolution
further accuses Secretary Houston
of conducting a persistent and eff
fective propaganda as head of the
treasury department to hammer
down the price of all farm products,
thereby costing the farmers millions
of dollars.
In the course of the discussion of
the resolution several speakers call
ed attention to the fact that a re-
quest by Governor Kapper, of Kan
sas, for President Wilson to investi-
gate the wheat situation was imme-
diately granted with an immediate
rise in the price of wheat. They con-
trasted this immediate consideration
of Governor Kapper's request, pre-
scented to the white house on Friday,
with the failure of a delegation of
farmers representing all farm organ
izations of the country to obtain an
interview with the president earlier
in the week.
Wilson's Attitude Discussed.
In addition to the above the asso-
citation adopted a resolution making
recommendation covering the gen
eral cotton situation. These resolu-
tions denounced the gin-burning
propaganda, urged the revival of the
war finance corporation, urged fed
eral reserve board to declare that
"orderly marketing" does not con-
template the sale of farm products
below cost of production and urged
the board to make cotton paper a
preferred class of paper.
The convention also adopted a
resolution calling for a reduction of
cotton acreage by so per cent in
1921 and complete elimination of the
crop next year if it is necessary to
sell the present crop at price lower
than the cost of production.

NEW YORK. December 14.-Further
consolidation of railroads of the coun-
try under proper regulation and

Most of the opposition to the act,
Representative Esch declared, has
arisen out Of section az. providing
value of the property of the carriers.
The section. he charged, has been
"willfully misrepresented as to Its
purpose and effect"
Opponents of the section, he said,
offer no alternative of a construc-
tive or sufbcing character, other than
government ownership or the Plumb
plan" and the latter, he added, in
wolves government ownership and
"smacks of sovietism."
The car shortage, he said, still re-
mains the most pressing need OF
transportation" and little relief can
be expected from car production for
the current year.
Mr. Warfield expressed the opinion
consultations should be worked out
through voluntary procedure under
the Interstate Commerce Commits

nection with consultations. he out
lined as: Arrangement OF roads into
