G.O.P. WINS
|. VICTORY IN
STATE VOTE
Lose Three, Perhaps More,
Seats in Congress,
However.

Chicago. Nov. S-Illinois Repub-
licans, on the face Of incomplete
returns, have carried their state
ticket but lost. at least three and
perhaps more seats in congress.
The voters of the sta.e have en-
phatically approved the S55, 100000
state bonus law and the return OF
light wines and beer, both by tre-
mendOus majorities, which, in the
case of the soldiers bonus referen-
dunn, may exceed 100000 votes,
while the beer and wine proposal
is not far behind.
Congressman John J. German, in
the Sixth (Chicago) district, appar-
emily has been defeated by James
R. Buckley, Democrat. Congress
man Guy Shaw, in the Twentieth
district, has, on the face of incom-
plete returns. apparently lost to
Henry T. Rainey, Democrat, whom
he defeated in the Harding land
slide two years ago.
Major. Beats Wheeler.
J. Earle Major, Democrat, is ap-
parently the winner in the Twenty
first (Springfield) district. over
CongressmanThs loren e: wheeler.
The seats OF three more Repub-
licans are In doubt. They are Ell
liott w. Sproul, in the Third; E. B.
Brooks, Twenty-third, and Thomas
s. Williams. Twenty-fourth.
In the Twenty-second district,
Edward E. Miller, Republican, can
didate for the seat of Congressman
William A. Rodenberg, who is re-
firing, is running behind Edward
E. Campbell, Democrat.
Mrs. Huck Wins
The two Republican candidates
for c0ngress-at-large, were victor
ious. Mrs. Winnifred Mason Huck,
candidate to fill the vacancy for
congress-at-large caused by the
death Of her father, the late Will
liam E. Mason, also was q winner
for the Republicans.
While the downstate majorities,
on the face of present returns,
elected the Republican state ticket,
the. party lost everything in Cook
county, except possibly sheriff and
one or two minor officers.
With the exception of Peter Hof-
man, Republican candidate for
sheriff, the party ticket bearing the
endorsement of Mayor William Hale
Thompson, is running from 10000
, to $4,000 votes behind the Demo-
Gratis. Hoffman is ahead Of his op-
ponent and is generally conceded
the election, as his strong country
territory had not been heard from.
~ThompsOnism" Loses.
The defeat of the Thompson Or
ganization was emphasized by the
poor showing made by County
Judge Frank S. Righeimer, run
ming for reelection.
The full weight of the mayors
power was thrown behind Rig
heimer bnt without success.
The next legislature apparently
will be safely Republican in both
houses, with Governor Len Small
controlling more than enough SEN
ate seats to prevent any possibility
of Impeachment proceedings, basel
on his Indictment and trial for al
legged misuse of state funds while
state treasurer. He was acquitted
| by jury at Waukegon last June.
but is still facing civil suits to re-
cover interest alleged to be due the

VETS SCORE
IN4.STATES
Vote in Illinois Is Over
whelming; Closer in
I Ohio.

Chicago, Nov s.-Proponents OF
relaxing the present prohibition
laws scored heavily. in at least four
states yesterday, according to COM
pilations today from the nation
wide election. In Illinois an ex-
preston of sentiment on the Vol
stead act favored modification by
approximately 100000 votes to
negative 100000, with one-half the
state reported. California defeated
the state enforcement act by an in
dicated two to one vote; Missouri
reelected United States Senator
James A. Reed. an avowed oppon-
ent of prohibition, and New Jersey
sent Governor Edward l. Edwards,
also avowedly against prohibition,
to the United States senate over
Senator Frelinghuysen.
In Illinois, the congressional del
egation. will take in three "wets."
Reports indicate the Wisconsin
delegation will be "wet," seven to
four, the majority from the state
including Victor L. Berger, Social
ist, elected for the third time. Wis
consin also reelected Senator Rob-
ert M. LaFollette, classed as an
anti-prohibitionist by the "wets."
Drys Take Ohio Lead.
Tn Ohio the co,nnlexiou of the
vote on the wet and dry status un-
derwent 4 change at 8 a. m. when
it was found that an error Of 10000
votes had shown a lead OF oppon-
ents of the proposed constitutional
amendment authorizing sale OF
light wines and beer. With the
discovery Of the mistake in compil-
alton, the "wets"swent into a brief
lead, l27, 1862 to 1885, 1903. but later
returns from country districts par
TALLY wiped out this lead.
In New York state, where the
Democrats swept the state, the
Democratic platform contained
plank favoring light wines and
beer.

eressional district. returns indicat-

FARMING BECOMES DAY and NIChT
BUSINESS AT STATE PENllENTlARY
Warden Stair Orders Tractor
Operated Day and Night To
Get Big Crop In
TO OPEN THE BRICK.YARD

Farming has become a ,24,hour-a-
day business at the state penitentiary
With a late season, purchase of a
tractor by Warden l.. L. Stair was
authorized. The tractor now is being
operated day and night. About roo
acres will be farmed, it is planned by
Warden stair. This will include about
80 acres of potatoes, rye, oats, corn,
and probably 100 to 200 acres OF millet
No wheat will be raised. '
/. 1t isn't any trouble to get labor on
the prison farm, although there is a
shortage of farm labor reported al
other places, according to the warden.
Practically every prisoner would rath.
er work out in the open than behind
prison walls. ....
The penitentiary will soon be a bee.
hive Of industry. In addition to the
farm and tWine plant the brickyard
which has not been operated for two
years will be reopened about May
2, The Volstead law has helped give
additional labor to the prison to make
DOSSlUlC VI luC ullACo.
The warden is no exception to those
who hope for real crop this year
Although. crops have failed on the
prison farms the last two years, the
cost of maintaining the penltentiar;
to the taxpayer was considerably re-
duced, according to records of the
state board of administration These
figures show that under Mr.. Stair $
direction it cost taxpayers over S1oO
month to keep a person in the pen
itentiary for the year ending June 50
1920, compared to S24.2S per monln
during the current year, or less thar
one.fourth of the cost under the pre-
vious administration. The total saw
ing made during the current yea,
over the previous year is placed al
s117, ,5e3.14, in spite Of an increase IN
the number Of persons in the penl
tentiary.
