Wshlnnton, D. C.—The outcome of
the United States senate Is now del |
lultely settled. The republleans are:
assured of seventeen new senators,
which with thirty-four holdover sena-
tors, Rives them a total of fifty-one.
The democrats are assured of fifteen
new senators, which with twenty-five
holdovers gives taltu a total of fort}.
Two sen«torshlp« are still In doubt,
linmely, the successor of the late Mr
l)olllver In Iowa, and Mr. Carter In
Montana, where there Is proapect of a
tie.
These determined totals, however,
leave a republican majority in the
senate as follows:
Total membership. 92; necessary to
majority, 47, republican, 60; demo-
crats, 40; doubtful, 2.

John W. Kern is Elected
Indianapolis.—Senator Bevcridge's
hopes for another term went glimmer-
ing Wednesday as returns showed con-
clnsively that the democrats had elect-
ed the majority of the Indiana assem-
bly. According to the latest figures
the democrats will have a majority on
joint ballot of 32.
John W. Kern has been endorsed by
the democrats and In all probability
will become the colleague of Senator
Shlvely, also a democrat.
Montana
Helena, Mont.—Returns received are
to the effect that the democrats have
elected at least fifty-three members of
the legislature, which means tlftit a
democrat will be elected to succeed
United States Senator Thomas Carter.
Fifty-two votes are necessary to con-
trol on Joint ballot.
Chicago.—Unofficial returns for
62nd congress gives: Democrats
elected, 226; Republicans elected, 164;
Socialists elected, 1. Total 391, Ma-
jority of house 196. Democratic ma-
jority In house, 30.
Complete returns on the election of
representatives 111 congress indicate
the democrats will have a working
majority of 30 in the next house. The
number of democrats elected to con-
gress, according to the latest returns,
w hlch are of an unofficial character, is
226. The republican representation
will be 164, or eight seats less than
the democrats now have in the 61st
congress.
Aboslute confidence is not felt In
the returns for some of the Wlscon
sin districts, and It Is not Impossible
that the offlclal figures will change
the totals of the two parties.
TAFT TO URGE PLANS
Next Congress Expected to Put
Through Legislative Program
Washington.—The pressing forward
of the administration's legislative pro-
gram before the accession of demo-
cratic control in congress next year,
was discussed at a cabinet meeting
Wednesday.
Featuring the administrative meas-
ures will be the plan for meeting sec-
ond-class mall abuses by requiring
magazines—not newspapers—to pay
increased postage on advertising
pages sufficient to later warrant one
cent postage of first-class mail.
The plan will be urged upon con-
gress at the coming short session.
The discussion of the election re-
sults brought out individual views of
the president and some of his official
family. It was pointed out that In
the east the most real harm to the
republican party was accomplished
much because of the outcome in the'
west having been discounted in the [
primaries. Some comfort was found |
in the relative smallness of the dem-
ocratic pluralities as compared with
the past w hen democratic priority was
attained. New Yorks plurality less
than 70,000 plurality being cited.
The expressed view was that the
defeat of the party might in reality
work for good.
President Taft realizes the necessity
! for getting through all needed admin-
istration legislation in the three
months session, beginning next month.
UNCLE JOE CANNON WILL HELP
INSURGENTS AMEND RULES
Washington—Another contest over
the question of taking from the speak-
er power to name standing commit-
tees, Is expected to develop soon after
the house of representatives assem-
bles next month. This time it is not
unlikely that the movement will re-
ceive the support of Speaker Can-
non and his allies, inasmuch as the
next assignments will be made by the
democrats.
Interviews with Representatives
Murdoek of .Kansas and Norris of Ne-
braska indicate they intend to lose
no time in reopening the light waged
by the insurgent republicans last ses-
sion which reformed the rules and.
deposed Speaker Cannon from mem/
bership on the rules committee. That
contest was won by insurgent and
democratic coalition. It Is not known
| what the attitude of the democrats will
be the coming session when an effort
| will be made to still further shear the
| speakership of its great authority, but
the chances are they will seek to force
the battle over to the succeeding ses-
sion when they will be in undisputed
control.
INCOMPLETE RETURNS ASSURE
VICTORY FOR DEMOCRATS
DRYS ARE FAR IN LEAD
Claims of Local Optionitta for Amend
ment Apparently Without Any
Foundation Whatever
Oklahoma City.—With full return*
from about sixty counties, and incotn
jdete returns from four or live more,
I ah* Cruoe Is loading J. W. McNVal
for governor by a majority of 23.3S7.
With about forty five complete coun
ties on the promottion amendment,
and a few scattering results, the
"drys" are leading by a majority of
18.747.
Morgan is ahead of Fulton in the
race for congress in the Second dis-
trict by a majority of 7SS.
It is practically definitely settled
that Hird S. McGuire is elected to con-

without the tIt) having dsriwd ;t,iv
real benefit except the paltry sums
the visitors pay for license. It Is not
fair to our 1«h*uI merchants, who con
tribute taxes and rent to the city's j
w el fare
The kernel of the matter is eon
tatned in the above few words, but It,
wilt not be aaiisH to add that not only
is this city NOT benefitted the
licensing of strolling merchants, but
the eltlaen who trades with them in
often nrioiil) Fha w
derful Hargalna" that these people
pretend to offer do not have to go
begging, and if there was any truth
in the advertising extensively dtvu
la ted by them, these "Hargalns" would
never get around to this city. The
fact is. that many of these so-called
merchants come here looking for
"Hubes." and after a successful ron
with their victims they pick up their,
stakes In a night and go lookiug for
the "Kasy" elsewhere.
Competition in all kinds of business
is so strong in this city that there is
not a legitimate merchant who would
Impose upon his customers. Our mer-
chants have to stay here, year In and
year out, to moot the people who trade
with them, and they know that it pays
to be square. The merchant is living j
in a continual dread of fault-Andlug.
and they do everything in their power I
to evade it.
The merchant who opens up a store
for a week or a month, is here simply ,
for a "haul.'' He makes it and then
lights out. laughing up his sleeve, at
his victims. Therefore, we say that
the people's representative should not
be too anxious, for the sake of a pal-
try license, to furnish an opportunity
to traveling merchants to fleece the
purchasing public and to injure the
trade of the legitimate and reliable
business men we have with us always.

THE MAN WITH THE PICK.
Announce for Senate
Wheeling, W. Va.—Three prominent
state democrats Wednesday announc-
ed their candidacy to succeed United
States Senator Scott after late returns
showed that the democrats would con-
trol the legislature on joint ballot and
force his retirement.
Victory for Bryan
Lincoln, Neb.—The defeat of James
C. Dahlman, democrat, for the governor
of Nebraska, was a surprise to politi-
cians in this state. Dahlman, because
of his ilght with Bryan over the local
option plank in the democratic plat-
form, had been picked to win. His op-
ponent, Chester Aldrich, however, de-
feated him by 15,000 votes, on the same
platform that Dahlman sounded.
Stubbs Leads in Kansas
Topeka, Kan.—Ninety-nine out of the
entire 125 representative districts of
the state have been heard from. Of
these fifty reported republican legisla-
tors had been selected, and forty-eight
said democrats had won. One district
is reported doubtful. The majority of
the remaining twenty-six districts upon
which the vote for representative has
not been reported, are known to have
been carried by Governor Stubbs. This
fact gives the republicans hope.
HON. LEE CRUCE
Governor-Elect
Davenport over Charles JO. Creager
In the Third, Carter in the Fourth and
Scott Ferris over J. H. Franklin In
the Fifth.
Despite the fact that the republic-
ans are issuing reports tending to
show that they will control the next
state legislature, reports which have
come in from over the state prove
almost beyond a shadow of a doubt
that the democrats will have a ma-
jority in both houses.
The democratic committee declares
that their figures show that the ffext
senate will contain thirty-two demo-
crats, and the next house eigTity-five
democrats, giving them a two-thirds
majority in each house.
The chief political bone of conten-
tion at present is the local option
amendment, but, judging from the re-
turns in, nothing short of a figurative
earthquake can save the amendment
from utter defeat.
Additional returns received Satur-
day but tended to increase the plural-
ity by which the drys are leading.
Washita county returned a majority of
1.08G against the bill, Grant came in
the same column with 1,316, and other
counties followed with majorities
al^nor the (""me Hne.
Despite the claim of the local op-
tioiiibLs, they appear to be able to
offer no tangible figures which show
that there is any reason on their side.
In a telephone dispatch to the Mus-
kogee Phoenix Thursday night they
, stated that returns from twenty-live
1 counties put th£m 8,000 in the lead,
; and that they were counting on that
majority being swelled considerably
by the counties still out.
As ti matter of fact, of the forty-
eight or fifty counties which have
been reported to this office the local
optionists have carried only twelve.
Their total majority in these tweV©
counties, exclusive of the vote in coun-
ties where the plurality was against
the amendment, is only 4,155.
Putting Cruce's majority conserva-
tively, in view of the number of coun-
ties to report, he will receive between
20,000 and 25,000, though the chances
! are that it w ill run above the last fig-
Woman Suffrage in Washington
Seattle, Wash.—The most interesting
result of the election is the ratification
of the woman's suffrage amendment to
the state constituion. The amendment
will become law as soon as the gover-
nor receives the official count and pro-
claims that the amendment has been
ratified.
First Control In 16 Years
Washington.—Josiah H. Shinn, sta-
tistician of the democratic natioral
congressional committee, who for sev-
eral days has been in charge of the
democratic headquarters here, claimed
a democratic majority in the house of
47. He said:
"For the first time in sixteen years
the house will be democratic. The
present house consists of 154 demo-
cratic and 217 republican, or a major-
ity of 43. The sixty-second congress
will consist of at least 219 democrats
and 172 republicans.
LaFollette's Election Assured
Milwaukee.—United States Senator
LaFollette, republican, will be re-
elected to the upper house of congress
by the legislature elected in Wiscon-
sin Tuesday, which, from the returns
received up to ten o'clock Tuesday
night, will bt> safely republican.
Missing Dean is Located
Guthrie, Okla.—It is reported that il.
: Pittuck, dean and business manag-
er of the Oklahoma secondary agri-
| cultural colleges, who mysteriously
disappeared a icw weeks ago, has been
located at Santa Fe, N. M., and is se-,
rlously ill.
California is Republican
San Francisco.—Hiram Johnson, in-
surgent republican candidate for gov-
1 ernor of California, has been elected
by about 25,000. The democrats
swept the country districts and the so-
cialists were a big factor. J. Stitt
Wilson, socialist for governor, polled
so large a vote in I*os Angeles and |
Frisco that he upset the calculations
j of both old parties. Democratic can-
didate T. A. Hell polled a much small
| er vote than had been expected. John
I son carried San Francisco by 2,000.1
'In general he ran behind his ticket.
Official Count Delayed
Oklahoma City.—Secretary Seth K.
Gordon, of the state election board,
said Wednesday afternoon that it will
be Monday or Tuesday before the
vote in the Btate election held Tues-
day can be officially announced. No
returns were received Wednesday.
Will Linn, former member of the
state election board, who has been as-
sisting in the office, since he was ap-
pointed judge of the newly created
superior court, in Grady county, ex-
pressed the opinion that the resub-
mission amendment is defeated by a
substantial majority.

he thought he could caro for those he

many accidents incidental to the avo-
cation crushes out his life or makes
a cripple of him for life, or he reaches
the period of decline when not infre-
quently he becomes a charge to his
grown children, or lacking them, is
hurried over the hill to the poor farm.
Has it ever been your pleasure to in-
timately know a coal miner? Have
you ever foregathered around the fire
of a cold winter's night, and there,
smoking the pipe, sit and listen to him.
If you have you will learn to respect
him for his many manly qualities.
You will learn that with the great ma-
jority of them there is almost a vener
a lion for the home. They love it, they
love their wives and children, and the
burden of their talk will be, how they
are going lo provide for the family
and get along in the world.
There is not a spark of miserliness
in their action. They work like a horse
lit oat Just as heartily when they
can get il. They are open and gener-
ous to a fault, generally speaking. No
man In distress ever appealed to them
for aid in vain—they are always ready
to divide their last crust with those
iu need, and ready to work harder for
more.
To the so-called upper crusts they
appear rough, uncouth, uneducated,
and are despised, and little or no re
spect Is felt for them. "Oh, he's only
a coal miner," is often passed along
if some times some of them are not
so well developed in manliness as the
aristocrats could like, or their man-
ners are not so finely polished. But
rough as they are, unpolished as they
may appear, and often imposed upon
by those who would deceive them, yet
beneath that grimy face there is an
honest countenance, within that
brawny breast there beats a heart that
is true and full of manly pride, a will
that is strong in its purpose for the
right and it is with such our nation's
hopes lie.
The spawn of society never made a
nation great, the polished snob, who
looks with disgust on honest toil, and
honest toilers, who smokes his cigar-
ettes and lisps, while he flirts with
dowdys of his own sex, never made
this country great. Everything, not
already provided by nature, that makes
our nature grand, has been done by
honest toil, and the coal that came
from the mines, and to get which cost
thousands of lives, was ull produced
by the miner, the craftsman, who has
been less respected and less cared for
than any other of our toilers. It should
be the first duly of the government to
make his life secure. He is the na-
tion's greatest asset. Its hope, and
should be its pride.
Black of face, hard of hand, Boft at
heart. Brave in danger kind in dis-
position. And true to himself and his
fellows, is the organized coal miner,
the man with the pick.—United Mine

WHAT COLLIERS SAYS
ABOUT GRAPE-NUTS
Trouble at Stilwell
Stilwell, Okla.—The political situa-
tion here is growing warm. The first
returns of the election show the coun-
ty to bo carried by the republicans,
but later In the day four dTstricts
were thrown out, thus giving the dem-
ocrats a straight ticket election, with
the exception of BherlfT. The districts
thrown out on account of illegal
methods used are Bunch No. 1, Lees
t reek No. 1, Christie No. 1 and No.
2. The republicans are Indignant
over the result and talk of a contest
is waging.
Papers with more regard for rev-
enue than tor the character of the
advertising they accept, have been I
taking for publication the false and
insulting screed of the publicity bu-
reau of Charles W. Post and his
helpmates in a nefarious business, the
Manufacturers' Association. The stuff
is really so nauseating that Colliers',
one of the foremost publications of
the country, has been forced to place
it in the category of the quacks wheih
, it is denouncing. The following from
j Collier's of recent date is too mild
! really to state the case:
j "Deception there is, in advertising,
I as in all dealings between the unper-
fect human animal and his equally im-
I perfect fellow. It is lessening with
the spread of intelligence. Some that
I is still conspicuous in print is unnec-
i essary, and hence incredibly stupid.
! l-or example, take certain recent ex-
ploitations of Grape-Nuts and its fel-
low article, 1'ostum, put out by the
same concern. One widely circulated
I paragraph labors to produce the im-
pression that Grape-Nuts will obviate
the necessity of an operation in ap-
pendicitis. This is lying, and poten-
i tially, deadly lying. Similarly, Pos-
i turn continually makes reference to
! the endorsement of a distinguished
physician, or a prominent health offi-
cial, persons as mythical, doubtless,
as they are mysterious. Here are two
articles of food which, unless there is
some secret reason against it, should
sell on their merits. Yet the manu-
facturer persists in insulting the in-
telligence and alienating the support
of people who might otherwise pur-
i chase them. 'I've stopped taking
I Grape-Nuts since it became a patent
medicine,' said an acquaintance re-
cently. The editor of a prominent
religious journal, writing of the can-
cellation of certain patent medicine
contracts, says: 'I have sometimes
the same feeling toward the Postum
advertisements and those of (,rape-
Nuts. The manner in which they are
pushed and the phraseology used to
commend tliem constantly cause me
annoyance.' If these breakfast foods
desire to be classed in the public mind
with the fraudulent and failing patent
medicines, they are taking the proper
steps to that end. But isn't it worth
1 while to stop and consider whether,
in the long run, it will pay to identify
themselves with a class of merchan-
dise which has no other selling pow-
l er, save only that which it derives at
1 an enormous outlay and an increasing
from mendacious claims?
Mr. Post's departure from the
truth we elucidated a week ago. Now
we seize a leisure moment to speak
of the claim, our rejection of which"
aroused the Postuin fury. The gentle-
man's persistent patent medicine
claim, through sunshine and through
shower, seems to us, in our present
genial mood, no less than entertain-
ing. 'It is a practical certainty,' de-
clares Mr. Post, 'that when a man has
approaching symptoms of appendici-
tis, the attack can be avoided by dis-
continuing the use of all foods except
Grape-Nuts and by proper washing
out the intestines.' The point of this
observation lies in the application of
it, chiefly in that part following the
'and.' It is probable that if one could
have his intestines properly washed
otit he need not die of appendicitis.
Why not go farther? Toothache may
be cured by taking three bites of
Grape-Nuts and having the molar
pulled. Sure relief for corns: stuff
your shoe with Grape-Nuts and cut
your foot off. A prominent health of
ficial says: Since eating a pound of
Grajie-Nuls every day and buying a
new wig, my baldness has ceased to
bother me."
What a wonderful change there is
coming over trades unions in the mat-
ter of politics! Only a few years ago
the slightest mention of politics was so
thoroughly tabooed that a member
who dared mention the subject was
an outcast. Now, however, the trades
unionists are realizing that their polit-
ical power is the most potent weapon
they have to deal with the employing
class. Only last week two specific
instances, in the two extremes of the
country—New York and Los Angeles
—testified to this recognition. The
New Yorkers organized a federated
j labor party made up of delegates from
trades unions and adopted as an em-
blem a picture of Atlas supporting
(he world, with the words "Labor Sup-
ports the World" surrounding it.
Whenever labor can get that central
fact into its-political head—that it
supports the world—there will be
something doing at the ballot box
which will sweep the parasites who
live off labor from governmental pow-
er. At Los Angeles there was passed
a resolution "admonishing trades
unionists to always keep in mind the
fact that their ballots are their strong
est weapons." Blessed will be the
day when labor unifies on the eco-
nomic field and at the ballot box, for
that will be the day of salvation.—

Harmon Gets Large Plurality
Cleveland, O.—Governor Judson Har-
mon. democrat, rolled up a plurality of
90,000 over W. G. Harding, republi-
can, candidate for governor, according
to figures compiled by the Plaindealer
