ARTHUR CAPPER
George H Hodges Democrat on final
figures On the wave of the big Cap-
per vote the entire Republican state
ticket was swept into office by about
85000 plurality and the legislature be-
enanne Republican
One feature of the election that
stands out Is the fact that despite big
pluralities for the Republican state
ticket the Democrats gained one con-
gressman The Democratic gain was
is the Eighth district where W A
Ayres defeated his Republican and
Progressive opponents and will suc-
ceed Victor Murdock Progressive in

cially BIG SHIFT IN NATIONAL HOUSE
Faking Off In Democratic Majority
Will Necessitate Changes
i —
Washington — Many changes in the
srgaataatlon of the House of Repro-
aeautatives will bo made at the be-
ginning of the next Congress The
Democratic majority will drop after
the close of tbe Democratic session
from 140 to twenty-four which will
necessitate a general shifting of the
working order in the House
Practically complete returns gave
the Democrats 229 Republicans 196
War Echo In Missouri
Springfield Mo — An investigation
to under way to determine the cause
ef the fire which destroyed the plant
mt tbe Hermann-Sanford Saddlery

at (265000 it has been announced
Police officials seem Inclined to place
some credence In a report that a con-
tract held by the firm to manufacture
(200000 worth of cavalry saddles and
artillery harness for the British army
s indirectly responsible for the con-Bagration
CHARLES CURTIS
Progressives 7 Socialists 1 Independ-
ents 1 doubtful 1 This would give
the Democrats a plurality of 33 over
the Republicans and of 24 over tbe
combined opposition
This narrow margin probably will
result in a rearrangement of commit-
tee representation the Democrats now
holding overwhelming majorities in all
of the standing committees The fall-
ing off of the Progressives from nine
teen in the present House to eight
probably will cut down their commit-
tee representation materially and
even may Iobo them the few import-
ant places they hold In the present
House
Democratic leadership in the House
will undergo great- changes Repr
sentatlve Underwood was elected to
the senate and will leave tbe House
at the close of the December session
Represntative Kitchin of North Caro-
lina the ranking Democrat on the
ways and means committee prill claim
the Democratic leadership by right of
seniority and is - expected to have the
support of the Southern Democrats
Representative Mann of I'llnois un-
doubtedly will retain the Republican
leadership facing the Democrats with
formidable support- His ranks will
Include besides former Speaker Can-
non numerous other Republicans who
have recaptured the places they lost
In the 1912 campaign
The election will vacate five of the
fourteen Democratic places on the
ways and moans committee which
framed the Underwood Tariff Law
Besides Underwood Representative
Hammond was elected governor of
Minnesota Representative Mitchell
of Massachusetts who succeeded Rep-
resentative Peters on the committee
when the latter became assistant sec-
retary of the treasury was defeated

Pennsylvania surrendered his Beat to
run for senator and was defeated and
Representative Stanley of Kentucky
sought the senatorial nomination in
Kentucky and lost his place
Representative Murdock of Kansas!

of the committee lost his seat in an
effort to go to the senate All of the
Republican members of the committee
were returned and in addition Eben-
ezer Hill tariff expert and one of the
framers of the Payne Law was sent
back after a 2-year stay at home He
probably will make a fight for his old
place on the committee

WILLIAMS LEALS IN OKLAHOMA
Further Count Shows Safe Lead for
Democratic Candidate — Next Leg-
islature democratic
Oklahoma City — Following is the
standing of the gubernatorial candi-
dates at the close of the count of of-
ficial returns from fifty out of the
seventy seven counties of the state
which were officially received and
opened by the state election board
Saturday:
Williams democrat 65254
FleldB republican 57463
Holt socialist 33367
Hlckam progressive 2643'
Williams’ plurality 7801
Later returns however ere expected
to reduce Williams’ lead to 5000 votes
or fewer Some of the counties yet to
report to tbe Btate hoard ere republi-
can strongholds wherein Fields re-
ceived a big vote' These include Okr'
lahoma county which ' gave the re-
publican candidate a plurality of 2604
Creek Caddo Logan and Tulsa coun-
ties W R Samuel democratic campaign
manager Saturday still held to the
belief that Williams' plurality would
be 5000 or greater Others around
democratic headquarters expressed
the same belief but those who watch-
ed carefully the returns received Sat-
urday and compared them with unof-
ficial returns were of the opinion that
Williams' plurality may go as low as
3000
At republican state headquarters
Saturday afternoon State Chairman
Arthur Getssler Bald:
“When the official count is com-
pleted it will speak for itself as to
who received a plurality of the votes
on the face of the returns’’ It is un-
derstood that republican leaders still
cling to the hope that late official re-
turns from the outstanding counties
will make Fields the winner
The returns received Saturday bear
out early indications of a big socialist
R L WILLIAM8
Probably Oklahoma’s Next Governor
gain in some parts of the state but it
is not expected to be ns large as was
first expected The total socialist
vote of the state is now expected to
be between 7000 and 10000 more than
in the general election in November
1912
In the fifty counties reported the
socialists have almost doubled their
strength as compared with the vote
cast In 1910 The same fifty coun-
ties which now give Holt a total of
33367 showed ' only 16187 socialist
votes in the gubernatorial contest four
years ago Both the old parties have
suffered as a result of this socialist
gale
The same counties In 1910 gave
Governor Lee Cruce 75955 against 59-
684 for Joe McNeal the republican
candidate for governor The vote for
Williams in these counties is 65254
against 67453 for Fields
Senator Gore’s plurality will he the
largest ever given any candidate for a
congressional office in the history of
the state The fifty counties reporting
give him a 'total of 76312 againBt 44-
089 for Judge John H Burford of
Guthrie the republican candidate It
is believed that Gore carried every
county in the state over other demo-
cratic candidates on the state ticket
with one exception that being in Mus-
kogee county where it is said that
State Examiner and Inspector Fred
Parkinson led the blind senator by a
small margin
The official returns so far received
are sufficiently representative of the
entire state to indicate that both
branches of the next legislature will
be overwhelmingly democratic There
are twenty-one holdover members of
the senate eighteen of them being
democrats It is more than reason-
able to believe that tbe democrats
have elected a good deal more than
half of the twenty-three new members
There are forty-four members of the
senate twenty-three being a majority
Returns from the fifty counties al-
ready reported show tbe election of
forty-eight democratic members of the

ed both a representative and state
senator C S Qllkerson reading clerk
of tbe senate of the last legislature-
was defeated for the senate by the
socialist candidate
C L PInkham member of the house
of the last legislature has been re-
turned by a plurality of one vote ac-
cording to official returns It Is un-
derstood that a recount will be asked
for by W W Whitmore his repub-
lican opponent The vote Is PInkham

COSTLY MILE OF WIRE
ERECTED DURING SIEGE OF PORT
ARTHUR IN 1905
Estimated That Ten Thousand Llvoa
Were Lost and Millions of Dollars -Expended
In “Condemning’’ the
Right of Way
“There are many Individual miles
of clty-bullt telephone line that hava
cost well up tn the hundreds ot thou-
sands of dollars' remarked aa offl- -cer
of the United States army who
saw much of the war between Russia
and Japan a few years ago “but tho
mile of telephone wire that coat be-
yond all comparison more money and
Uvea than any other line ever built
was erected during the siege of Port
Arthur In 1905
“For weeks and months the Japs
had been eating away at the defense
of the Russian fortress but with email
success The hills around the town
and harbor seemed to have been fash-
ioned by nature for defense The
Japs though they had brought up
their great 12 and 14-Inch siege guns
were able to make but slight Impres-
sion upon the forte and none at all
upon the town or the Russian fleet
that lay safe within the Inner harbor
The trouble Has that though the
great guns — ’Osaka babies they called
them after the name of the town
where they were manufactured—
could easily carry from their positions
Into Port Arthur and the harbor there
was Intervening a great range of hills
from five to six hundred feet In height
and crowned with the moBt powerful
fortifications in the world to that
date Hence the gunners could not
get a sight of their targets
“Suddenly the 'Osaka babies com-
menced to open fire upon the town
and harbor and the Russians smiled
for experience had ehown them how
Impossible It was for the shells to
strike their unseen targets But to
their astonishment after a shell or
two one lit squarely upon the main
building In Port Arthur end shortly
after one plunged through the deck
of a battleship and sank her like a
stone
“In a short time the town wee
wrecked and the fleet with half Its
ships sunk or disabled had to put out
to sea
“For from the telephone In the
hand of the Jap hidden on the sum-
mit of 203 Meter hill there ran a wire
to the batteries where stood the great
’Osaka babies’ and the whole thing
became ae simple as a kindergarten
problem The man with the telescope
observed where the shells from the
‘babies’ struck he reported It to the
man with the telephone who In turn
telephoned tt to the gunners of the
‘babies’ They modified their Are un-
der these directions and placed their
great shells as accurately as though
they were Bring point-blank at a tar-
get “It was the beginning of the end of
Port Arthur that mile of telephone
ling running up the flank of 203 Meter
Hill It was but a single wire mount-
ed on poles so small that they were
Invisible a quarter of a mile distant
but It cost 10000 men and several mil-
lions of dollars in ammunition and
other war-cost to ‘condemn the right
of way”

The Importation of lchthyol a pe-

Important medicament has been along
with many other products cut off by
the war The raw material comes from
a foesillferoua deposit near Seefeld In
the Austrian Tyrol It la carefully se-
lected and subjected to dry distillation
The distillate thus obtained is then
sulphonated and subsequently neutral-
ized with ammonia The use of this
material has greatly Increased In the
laet few years and It has proved very
beneficial Almost immediately follow-
