Last night's reports as to the result of the election were al-
most completely overturned this morning, and at this writing it
is up in the air, with Hughes a strong probability and Wilson a
strong possibility. Last night, almost everybody went home either
rejoicing or reconciled, for the New York World, New York
Herald and New York Times had all given up and conceded the
election of Hughes by 277 electoral votes.
This morning news came of the probable defection of such
strong Republican states as California, Kansas, Oregon and
Minnesota, and the result was again in doubt. Later news
came that Kansas had gone to Wilson, and California was very
close, with Oregon^also wobbling.
The latest from Republican state headquarters is that the re-
sult hinges on California or Minnesota. If Hughes should carry
either of them, and results in other states should remain the
same, he will be elected; otherwise Mr. Wilson will be the
beneficiary. They are running nearly even as to the pectoral vote.
It is given out ft)>m Chicago that it will probably be Thursday
before the real result will be known.

| INTERESTING LETTER FROM:
MEXICO. ~
Mr. B. C. Belt is in receipt of a
letter from his son Ben, written from j
Tampico, which makes interesting
reading. He is connected with the i
Mexican Gulf Oil company. He says: j
Tuxpam, Ver., Oct. 16, 1916. j
*Dear People:
It seems that my trail now runs in
circles, for this summer, after six
years, I revisited Cordell, Okla., and !
now I am back to my starting point'
in Mexico, Tuxpam. Physically it has
changed but little actually it has lost
much of its former light-hearted and
busy manner. Can you conceive of a .
man mourning over the ruin of his
country and his business, sitting on
his doorstep in hungry idleness with
no hope or concern of a change for
better or for worse in his fortunes or
the fortunes of his country or his
neighbors, with no object in view but
to wait till each day passes and night
brings n relief .from qonsciousness; a
man who has lost interest in life in all
its phases except the struggle for the
bread of today? Such is the atmos-
phere of Tuxpam and such is in gen-
eral the atmosphere of the republic.
This attitude is sad to look upon, and
to all who do not have the things of
their heart outside of the republic it
is depressing; but to foreigners it is
in no way threatening. It is, in fact,
much more satisfactory than the wild
enthusiasm for change and so-called
reform, which was so manifest two '
years ago when I left the country, j
I am on my way south and west
from here, accompanied as I told you
before by an assistant, and we will!
have with us a pack animal and a
moso or two, so we will be quite ;
merry, as the Vicar of Wakefield used
to say, but just now we have to loaf 1
around town and wait till we can have
our horses brought in from the
country and shod, so we will have to
be here until day after tomorrow.
Outside of the present condition of
the affairs of state, it is the same old
Mexico; beautiful almost to enchant-
ment, it acts on my nerves almost
like wine. I can never leave town af- j
ter a week's stay, and travel down the
Tamihua lagoon in the sparkling sun-
shine/and watch the round green hills
slip past my launch, and see the blue
water rising up to the horizon ahead>
of me without a feeling of happiness,
'that such places exist in the world,
and I almost want to jump out of the
boat and swim in the water in order
to actually touch and feel with my
skin this beauty that I am looking at.
Last night we traveled nearly all i
night in our launch, and the trail of
the trail of the boat was as bright as
day with the phorphorescence of mil- [
lions of fish that struck the sides of
the boat, and on all sides were in-
numerable and every moving lines of
white light along the dark surface of
the water as the larger fish darted
away from the waves which we made
In passing. Do you find this a hope-
less jumble of impressions, and of re-
peated words and loosely constructed
sentences? It is the best I can do. and
1 do it because this enchantment of
the tropics which I so poorly des-
cribed is a part of my rccompe - ■ foi
living down here. I like it all im-
mensely and I am glad to get back to
Mexico once more.
We have just been to dinner, and
now according to the program of the
country it is time to take a nap, but
I am going to abstain this afternoon
and finish this letter and write to the
office, and also write some other let-1
ters.
I will be only about a day's ridei
from a post office, and so you can ex-
pect to hear from me regularly. I
send my love to all of you and so for
today, goodbye, BEN.

To Signal the Operator
WHEN you have .been .given the wrong number,
or for any other reason you wish to get the oper-
ator's attention at once, it is useless to "jiggle"
the receiver hook.
When the receiver hook is moved up and down rap-
idly, the operator does not answer because the signal
light on the switchboard does not flash and attract her
attention.
The right way is to move the receiver hook up and
down slowly, which causes the little switchboard light to
glow and brings a prompt response from the operator.
Patience and deliberate action alwayi result in less-
ening the delay and are a great aid to the operator in
getting the right number for you.
