St. Louis, Mo., Aug. 3. Every
factor that political experts base
th?ir opinions on indicates tonight
that Senator James A. Reed has been
nominated by the democrats of Mis
souri to be their standard bearer In
Xovemberv to succeed himself.
With 222 precincts missing out of
the 3,848 in the state. Senator Reed
was leading Breckenridge Long of
St. Louis, former third assistant sec
retary of state in the Wilson ad
ministration, by 6,879 votes. The
vote In 3.G26 precincts stood:
Reed. 189,321; Long, 182,442.
In order to overcome this plural
ity in the remaining precincts it
will be necessary for Mr. Long to
lead Senator Reed by almost thirty
one votes in each precinct. In the
last loO precincts reported from the
less densely populated parts of the
state the total number of voters to
the precinct has not equalled thirty
one. Sixty of the 222 precincts are lo
cated la St. Louis county, outside of
St. Louis city. In the sixteen pre
cincts that have already reported
from St. Louis county. Long had an
average lead over Reed of only
three to the precinct. In the re
maining precincts from out state,
reports show that the democrat vote
was light and Mr. Long's only hope
to muster enough votes to wipe out
the senator's lead would be in a
heavy vote from the remaining
country districts.
Brewster Keeps Lead
From early morning until late af
ternoon the precincts that reported
rerved to reduce the senator's lead
little by little, until at one time it
was cut to slightly more than 6,300.
In the last fifty precincts to report,
however, the senator's column took
a brace. Despite eed's lead, Breck
enridge Long tonight told the Asso
ciated Press that he was still confi
(L?lit of victory and that he believed
the official count, which begins to
morrow, will be favorable to him.
Attention was directed to the fact
that several thousand national
guardsmen are on strike duty away
from home, and that this probably
would be a factor increasing the
absentee vote.
With approximately three-fourths
of the precincts in the state reported,
R. R. Brewster was maintaining a
10,000 lead ove William Sacks for
the republican nomination for Unit
ed States senator. The vote, with
2,835 of the 3.848 precincts in Mis
souri tabulated. stood: Brewster,
74.6G7; Sacks, 64,126; Barrett, 32,
298; McKinley, 24,764; Proctor,
24,534 and Parker 10,791.
Washington, Aug., 3. The De
partment of Commerce announces re
sults of the inquiry into the causes
of blindness, made in connection
with the 1920 census.
Schedules or questionnaires, were
mailed to all persons reported in
1920 as blind. Of the 52,567 blind
enumerated, there were 40,913 who
returned these schedules. Of these
35,788 reported the cause of blind
ness. In 13,816 or 36.6 per cent of these
35.7SS cases from whom the cause
was reported, the blindness was
caused by some specific disease of
the eye such as cataract or glaucoma;
and in 5,623 cases or 15.7 per cent
it was the result of some general dis
ease such as measles, meningitis, or
scarlet fever. Accidents accounted
for 5,913 cases or 16.5 per cent of
the total. There were 1,429 persons
in- number whose blindnses was caus
ed by explosives or firearms.
Cataract, the leading cause, was
reported by 4,896 or 13.7- per cent.
Glaucoma, which ranked next, was
reported by 1,932, or 5.4 per cent.
Atrophy of the optic nerve was giv
en as the cause of 1,756 or 4.9 per
cent.
Ophthalmia neonatorum, or "ba
bies' sore eyes," was reported by 1,-
193, or 3.3 per cent of the total num
ber reporting. There ha3 l;"-n a
marked decrease in the relative
amount of blindness due to this !is
ease is indicated by recent statistics
of admissions to schools for the
blind, which show that only 14.7
per cent of the new students 2dmit
blind fro mophthalmia, as against
2 4.2 per cent of the students then at
tending who had entered in previous
years. This decrease reflects the more
general adoption of scientific meth
ods of treatment ,and especially the
routine use of silver nitrate drops in
the eyes of infant3.
The campaign to eliminate tra
choma appears also to be meeting
with success, as trachoma and "sore
eyes" (which is usually in fact tra
choma) together were reported by
only 3.0 per cent of the total for
1920, as against 5.2 pe rcent
1910.

TRAINS ABE DELAYED
From Friday's Dally.
The morning trains on the Bur
lington were running away off sched
uled time today due to the fact that
a cave in on the tracks near Mela
on the Omaha-Ashland line made
necessary the sending of all traffic
by the way of Louisville and Ore
apolis and thence on into Omaha and
back over the main line. No. C was'
delayed for several hours on. this ac
count and the westbound train No.
15 was delayed at Pacific Junction
for some time owing to the confusion
caused by the necessity of using the
single track between Oreapolis and
Omaha for all traffic.
To the
Public
The operation of BURLINGTON trains', from
the first day of this strike, ha3 been possible
only because of the large number of officers,
employes and volunteers from every depart
ment who have been working day and night
at their posts of duty. It is due to the extra
ordinary efforts of these men that your com
munity has been supplied with food and other
essential needs. The sense of justice of the
residents of your community will determine
the measure of their appreciation of the ser
vices of these men who have stood between
them and the suffering sure to follow the at
tempted tie-up of train service.
