WOODROW WILSON.
HUGHES, WHITMAN AND CALDER
GAIN BIG LEAD IN EARLY
RETURNS.
ILLIONIS IN HUGHES COLUMN
party in 1912 for the presidency, has
been elected to congress.
Ohio For Wilson.
Cincinnati.—President Wilson has a
lead of almost 10,000 votes over
Hughes, with half the state reported.
With Majority of Near 100,000 and
Republican Governor Is Named—
Michigan Safe in the
G. O. P. List.
' New York.—With one-fourth of the
districts missing out of 5,807 in New-
York state, Hughes leads Wilson in
the presidential contest with a plur-
ality of 65,152. Wilson's lead in
Greater New York with only ninety-
seven districts missing was 39,325.
•while Hughes led up-state by 104,477
with 1,159 districts still to be heard
from. Wilson carried Manhattan by
a plurality of 27,000.
The democrats made gains in sev-
eral industrial cities up-state but the
country districts remained over-
whelmingly republican. The most
notable increase in the democratic
vote was in Buffalo, second largest
city in the state, which Hughes carried
by only 3,637, although it was carried
by Whitman for governor two years
ago by more than 19,000.
From returns it was apparent that
Charles S. Whitman has been re-
elected governor over Samuel Sea-
bury, his democratic oj. ,onent.
William M. Calder of Brooklyn, a
former congressman, was elected
United States senator over William F.
McConibs, former chaSflian of the
democratic national committee, by a
large majority.
Returns showed that the republicans
had gained one congressman.
Illinois Gives Hughes Plurality.
Chicago.—Returns indicate a re-
publican victory in Illinois by a plur-
ality estimated by republicans at more
than one hundred thousand for Hughes
and slightly smaller pluralities for the
republican state ticket headed by
Frank O. Lowden for governor.
Estimates based on early returns In-
dicate a plurality for Hughes in the
slate outside of Chicago of more than
100,000 while Hughes was leading
slightly on incomplete Chicago re-
turns. The race in Chicago, however,
was close,
Lowden was opposed by Governor
Edward F. Dunne, democrat, who was
up for re-election.
Miohignn Voters Favor Hughes.
Detroit.—Democratic leaders con-
cede that Hughes will carry Michigan.
Returns from 215 precincts, or about
one-tenth of the state, gave Hughes
32.048 and Wilson 27,042.
The amendment for the statewide
prohibition with precincts heard from
had a majority of more than 12,000.
The amendment providing for rule
which the anti-prohibition forces sup-
ported, was being beaten by a con-
stantly growing majority. Returns
from 224 precincts gave: For home
rule, 17,778; against, 31,979.
South Dakota Reoublican.
Sioux Falls, S. D.—With more than
one-tenth of the precincts in the state
reported, the indications are that
Hughes has carried South Dakota by
a plurality of 15,000. The prohibi-
tion amendment was adopted by 20,000
and the suffrage amendment by 10,-
000.
Texas Stands as Usual.
Dallas.—President Wilson has car-
ried Texas by approximately 160,000
votes, democratic leaders announced.
Colorado for Wilson.
Denver.—Based on returns from 125
precincts in Colorado, including sixty
in the city of Denver, Wilson has
carried Colorado by at least 15,000.
Hughe* Lead Dropping.
Indianapolis.—Hughes' early lead In
Indiana was cut down as late re-
ports arrived to 7,99*. with a little
over half the state counted.-
In the Fifth congressional district,
in which is located Terre Haute, the
socialists were asserting that wugene
V. Debs, candidate of the socialist
Wilson Leads in Kentucky.
Louisville.—Returns from about 60
per cent of the precincts In Kentucky
show President Wilson leading about
35,000. Conservative estimates placed
the president's probable majority at
about 10,000.
Democrats Claim Maryland.
Baltimore.—With mor« tnan two-
thirds of Baltimore city s rote count-
ed, and scattered returns from the
counties, the democrats claimed the
state for President Wilson by 60,000
plurality. Democrats elected four
congressmen and republicans two, a
republican gain of one. Prohibition
was defeated by an estimated majority
of 40,000.
Wilson Leads In Kansas.
Kansas City.—President Wilson had
a lead of 5,274 votes in Kansas ovei
Hughes In one of the closest election
races that state has ever known. With
630 precincts out of 2,474 reported, th«
president had a total of 102,490 against
97,216 for his republican opponent.
Iowa Goss Republican.
Des Moines, Iowa.—Iowa went r
publican by phobably more than 50.
000 for Hughes and more than -00,000
for W. L. Harding, republican can-
didate for governor.
North Dakota for Hughes.
Fargo.—Hughes carried North Da-
kota by a plurality of approximately
10,000.
ENTIRE STATE TICKET ELECTED
WITH SIX OUT OF EIGHT
CONGRESSMEN.
AMENDMENTS BOTH CARRIED
On the Face of Early Returns—Al-
though Not Conceded by Republi-
cans—Chandler Appears to Have
Deftated Jim Davenport.
Oklahoma City.—Incomplete unof-
ficial returns from one-third out of
2,500 precincts in Oklahoma, Wilson
is leading Hughes by 18,000 votes.
This would indicate that Wilson's
plurality in Oklahoma will reach be-
tween 35,000 and 40,000.
The entire democratic state ticket
was elected by pluralities ranging
from 20,000 to 30,000, and all but two
of the eight democratic candidates
for congress have been successful. In
the first and eighth districts, the re-
sults all in doubt. Congressman Jim
Davenport probably has been defeat-
ed by Bert Chandler, republican, in
the first dictrict, and in the eighth,
Dick T. Morgan, republican, apparent-

ly will be returned to congress, de-
feating Z. A. Harris democrat, ol
Blackwell.
The success of the two election
measures Is probable, although demoi
crats claim they have been defeated,
while republicans claim both propo-
sitions have carried by majorities that
will reach 50,000 or more. One was
the repeal of the registration law, the
other the adoption of the socialist
eltction measure.
Campbell Russell, democrat, has de
feated Frank Parkinson of Lawton, re-
publican, for corporation commission-
er. Returns from 200 precincts in
twelve counties give Russell 6,000
lead. W. D. Humphrey, democratic
candidate for the short term com-
missioner, is running far ahead of his
opponent and probably will be the
high man on the state ticket.
Commissioner Humphrey.
Returns so far give no intimation
as to the political complexion of the
house of the next legislature.
Claims by Managers.
Judge Robert M. Rainey, chairman
of the democratic state campaign com-
mittee, claims the state for Wilson
by 40,000, electlou of the entire dem-
ocratic state ticket, seven of the
eight congressmen and defeat of the
socialist election measure by 30,000.
The proposed repeal of the registra-
tion law. he claims, was defeated by
a similar majority on the straight
yes and no vote.
Arthur Geissler, chairman of the re-
publican campaign committee, claims
adoption of the socialist law by a ma-
jority of 50,000 and the repeal of the
registration law by a like majority.

rheumatism, catarrh of the bladder, pain
or dull ache in the back, joints or mus-
cles, at times have headache or indiges-
tion, as time passes you may have a sal-
low complexion, puffy or dark circles
tinder the eyes, sometimes feel as though
you had heart trouble, may have plenty
of ambition but no strength, get weak
and lose flesh.

continue, serious results may be expect-
ed r Kidney Trouble in its very worst
form may steal upon you.
