as they were, the Republicans did
not anticipate anything as bad as
what happened to them, nor, IN
fact, did the Democrats hope
for it.
G. o. p. Finds Reasons
Searching around for the causes
of it today, Republican leaders
ascribed it to the following:
/. The depression, which dl-
rectly or indirectly, has affected
every home in America.
2. The ruinous prices Of such
great basic commodities as wheat,
corn, and livestock in the West.
8. Prohibition. While not such
an acute issue in the West, pro-
hibition was an important factor
in the wet States of the eastern
seaboard. The Democratic pledge
in the platform for outright re"
peal of the Eighteenth Amend
ment and immediate modification
of the Volstead Act to legalize
beer attracted thousands OF votes.

NEW YORK, Nov. 9 (L.N.S.).

Iegalization of beer.

Congress, especially the House,

Based upon replies to both wet

D. Roosevelt and the Democratic party have
been given mandate in the conduct Of ma

has been given but rarely, if ever, in the po-
litical history of the nation.
Belated returns today only served to en-

sweep in yesterdays election sweep that
put Governor Roosevelt in the White House
by record smashing popular and electoral
vote, that made President Hoover the worst
beaten candidate in history in two-party
contest, that gave the Democrats a greater
degree of control of Congress than any party

Gus American wrote Washington in
1776. Again early the next year he
wrote, with what propriety can he
(Howe) miss so favourable an oppor-
tunity of striking capital stroke
against a city from which we derive
so many advantages, which would
give such eclat to their arms and
strike such damp upon ours
Everyone at the time had thought
that Howe, of course, would have fol-
lowed up his advance across the
Jersies with the seizure of the Cont
mental Capital. 1t was well within
reason and he has since been criti-
cised, even by his countrymen, for
not so doing. What Washington
dreaded most was Howe's cue for
success. Instead Howe had halted
at Trenton and given Washington the
opportunity of that most signal sue
cess on Christmas of 1776. The year
of 1777 was therefore ushered in
with some promise and the outlook
further frightened by the complete
retirement of the British in June into
New York. Many Continental head
was turned by this seeming success.
Many-but not Washington, whose
calmness and sagacity made it pos
impossible for him to be unduly
carried away. He anXiously awaited
the next move.
"Our army was destined not to en-
joy any lengthy respite for it was
Immediately beset by as great a
quandary as ever invested an armed
force. AS a rule, Washington was
most unusually we'll acquainted with
the plans of the royal troops. Such
now was not the case and their move
ments were shrouded in deepest
mystery. All that was known was
that the British fleet was being made
ready to transport the army to some
distance"

HOLDING A HUSBAND

That rather uncomplimentary old
adage, "the way to a mans heart is
through his stomach" has been quoted
so often that many men themselves
believe it and act accordingly; unless
the coffee, bacon and eggs are just
so, the head of the house, it would
seem, goes through his day misersbly
unhappy, hurt and mistreated, this in
spite of the fact that at almost any
lunch counter good coffee and other
sustenance may be gotten for very
small sum.
Of course this does not excuse a
woman for not being able to make
good coffee or provide well-balanced
dinners and lunches with the proper
amount of calories, but if the coffee
is muddy, wouldn't its effect upon
her be just as bad as upon her hus-
band? Wouldn't it be better to find
some happier solution to the problem.
Surely man can be happy with a
woman even though she cannot cook.
Present-day conditions and changes
from the old regime alter most of the
old traditions and change the mean
ing of the old adages, one of which is
"woman's place is in the home" The
said home would be sorry place in
some instances were the woman not
outside helping provide his same
bacon.
DR.. Walter A. Maier, distinguished
educator of Concordia Seminary, st.
Louis, may have overlooked this fact
in giving statistics in which cause for
divorces was prominently listed as
due to "poor cooks and diminishing of
the domestic instinct in the enamel
pated woman" Time was when woman
may have been chiefly domestic in
habit, her position was less anomalous
than it is today. A happy marriage,
recently noted, was one where both
worked downtown all day. The wife
prepared the breakfast, the lunch was
gotten downtown and the husband,
Gaming from his office an hour earlier,
always had the evening meal started
which they shared at home.
Must husbands be well fed to re-
main contented and faithful? 1t
would be interesting to note how many
Oakland husbands are happy merely
because their wives are good cooks
and housekeepers or. whether COM
panionship, temperament, mutual
tastes and the happy ability to be
pals does not enter, to great degree,
into the making of conjugal felicity.

THE DISASTROUS YEAR OF
1777

The most disastrous year of the
American Revolution was 1777. When
we look back on the troubles of that
day we become convinced that our
trials and tribulations of 1882 are of
minor nature after all. An inter-
esting account of the struggles of
1777 can be found in the current issue
of the National Republic. 1t was
written by Harold G. Thompson, a
student of the history of the Ameri-
can Revolution, who says in part:
"When will Philadelphia be at
tackled? This great question had
been on the lips of all military lead
ers in America since the recovery of
Boston. Here, in this the most i'm
portant and sophisticated city in the
states, was the seat of the new Re-
publican government. In those fasci-
mating suburban mansions bordering
the Schuylkill River, the great men of
the Revolution supped with one an
other formulating plans and ponder
ing the problems of independence.
Doubtless many straddler was won
over to the cause under the genial in
fluence and eloquent persuasion of
the glittering candlelight. Philadel-
phia was a city known the world over
for its cleanliness, its orderly layout,
its handsome buildings, and great in

on March next, and the vexing
debt question will be with US much

question be obtained so that there
might be, if possible, consistent ac-
ton in this administration and the
next.

NATIONAL AFFAIRS
By FRANK P. LITSCHERT

The question of debt cancellation
has now been put squarely up to the
United States by the European ma
tions which owe us the money. There
is little doubt that the American peo-
pie through their government will
give a quick and decisive answer.
This answer will be against cancel
lation. There can be little surprise
that this is the case. When the peo-
pie think of the amount of money
which the supposedly hard-pinched
European nations are spending each
year for military preparations, they
properly have little patience with the
pleas of poverty which come from
across the waters. Expressions Of
senators and congressman in both
political parties, leave little doubt
that a proposition for cancellation
would have little support in our ma
tional legislative body.
President Hoover very properly
asked President-elect Roosevelt to
consult with him about the whole
debt question. Both candidates and
both parties have expressed them
selves as against cancellation. But
President Hoover will go out of office

 Nomination, Report

That Judge Cecil H. Clegg, of Fairbanks, may be candidate for the Republican nomination for Delegate to Congress, was reported here Saturday by interior residents who are in position to be informed on such subjects. His friends are actively urging him to throw his hat into the ring and, it is said, he has conditionally consented.
 Judge Clegg is a holdover in the Federal court in Fairbanks and it has generally been conceded would not be reappointed. Several Alas kans have been mentioned as his successor, including Attorney Gen eral John Rustgard.
 If Judge Clegg is not reappoint- ed, and that now seems unlikely, it is virtually certain he will seek the Republican nomination for Dele gate" said one of his close friends Saturday. ''He would make a strong contender and probably would sweep the Fourth Division, and would get some strong support in the Third" it was added.
 Fairbanksans here on the Victoria last week said reports circulating in the interior metropolis were to the effect that MT. Rustgard would probably succeed Judge Clegg on the bench, and that he was being supported for the place by both Delegate Wickersham and Nation al Committeeman A. E. Lathrop.
