WILSON BACK HOME
New York, Dec. 16.—President-
elect Wilson returned today from his
▼•cation trip to Bermuda. The
atMmehip Bermudia which carried
Mas and his party docked here a few
■liavtes after 8 a. m.
No announcements to politics or
Mytbing else did the governor have
to Make on his arrival.
"I'm going to devote myself to
New Jersey affairs," he said. After
a tew hours in New York he planned
to go direct to his home in Princeton
bo as to be on hand at the state
house in Trenton early tomorrow for
the regular budget of state vusiness.
Tho president-elect brought with
him his annual message to the New
Jersey legislature which meets on
J« «ary 1. New Jersey is just now
paramount in the governor's mind
a 4 it 1b quite likely that until he is
ahle to complete his program of pro-
gressive legislation he will not only
coatinue in office as governor but
will not take up many of the pre-
liminary tasks of office-filling with
respect to his presidential adminis-
tration.
As to appointments Governor
Wilson admits that while selections
haye been running through his head
he has not definitely decided on any
post of importance and has not even
chosen a private secretary.
Mn. Wilson and the girls will re-
main in New York to attend the ban-
quet of the New York Society tomor-
row night when Mr. Wilson will
make his first public speech since l^is
election. To do so he will return to
New York from Trenton late Tues-
afternoon.
Daring the trip up from Bermuda
the ocean was smooth as an inland
river. Not since Mr. Wilson was en-
ronte to Bermuda four weeks ago
had there been such a calm, hence
the president-elect acquired with the
sailors a reputation for luck.
VA. TO WELCOME WILSON.
Staunton, Va., Dec. 16.—Presi-
dent-elect Woodrow Wilson's "home
coming'' to his birth place here on
December 28 will be celebrated with
bonfires throughout Virginia, accord-
ing to plans now being made. At
Montlcello, Jefferson's old home, at
Montpelier, Madison's old home, and
other prominent points all the way
from Alexandria, shortly after he en-
ters the state, to Staunton, fires will
blase a welcome.
ADDING MACHINE LIED
AND CAUSES TROUBLE
Muskogee, Dec. 18.—An adding
machine that "lied" brought victory
from defeat to J. M. Lennox, candi-
date for representative of Okmulgee
county over J. J. Deaner. Deaner
had been declared elected by a ma-
jority of 14 votes but an investiga-
tion of the total number of votes
from the adding machine used to
compile the results of the election
showed that Lennox had been elected
by a majority of 149. The election
board and checked every precinct
figure and finding them correct, had
set down the figures without ques-
tioning the total found as registered
by the machine.
A certificate of election was issued
to Mr. Deanor several days ago and
now it will be up to Mr. Lennox to
make a contest before the legisla-
ture.
o
CAUGHT NAPPING.
Mother fumes to beat the band;
She has been delayed.
Middle of December, and
Not a cooky made.
This is not the worst, good land!
Mother is distraught.
Middle of December, and
Not a present bought.
This is dreadful—understand?
Listen to ma fret.
M'ddle of December, and
Nothing started yet.

covered. Mr. Forrester says there
