WOODROW WILSON Re-elected President of the United States. WILSON IS AGAIN MADE PRESIDENT WINS CLOSEST PRESIDENTIAL RACE OF ALL TIMES. CALIFORNIA GOES DEMOCRATIC — President Received the Largest Vote Ever Rolled Up for Democratic j Candidate, Carried Two-Thirds of the States of the Union.—Control of Lower House of Congress in Doubt. New York.—After holding the peo ple of the country in a state of sus pense unequalled in the political his tory of the United States, Republican Chairman Rowell of California con ceded the state to President Wilson fifty hours after the polls closed in the election November 7. Until Cali fornia votes were counted sufficiently to assure the winner in that state the presidential, election was held in a balance. The thirteen electoral votes of California made 269 for the presi dent, or three more than the neces sary number to elect. President Wilson carried two-thirds of the states of the union and re ceived 2,266,614 more votes than when he was elected in 1912. This is the greatest increase given to an Amer ican president for a second term since the civil war. He received 2,060,708 more votes than ever pre viously recorded for a democratic can didate and, is the largest vote ever re ceived by a president from the people of this country—952,955 more than the total cast for Roosevelt in 1912. Mr. Wilson is the only president ever elected with the “solid east” against him. His victory was believ ed by politicians to presrge an align ment for the first time in congress of the west with the south. It was point ed out that while he would not have “a working majority” in the lower house, he would not have to combat a majority inimical t<^ his policies. There has been much speculation among suffragists as to the parf play ed by women in the election. While President Wilson lost in Illinois and Oregon, he carried Washington, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, Arizona, Kansas, Nevada and Califor nia, the other ten states in which women voted. Popular Vote on President New York.—The total popular vote received in each of the states by Pres ident Wilson and Charles E. Hughes, Tbut based on unofficial returns, indi cated that the president received 403,312 more votes than Mr. Hughes. The table follows: Wilson. Hughes.

But the democrats are un certain of a plurality in the house. The vote in New Mexico, which is still in doubt, probably will determine which party is to have a plurality of one over the other. The present member from New Mexico is a repub lican. His democratic opponent is 2,693 votes ahead, out of 300 precincts reported. The balance of power in the next house will be held by four men, one a progressive-protectionist from Louis iana, one from Massachusetts, an in dependent; one a progressive from Minnesota an,d the other a socialist from New York. Their action ap parently will determine the choice of a speaker as well as the fate of legis. lation which is supported or op posed on purely party lines. In addition to the hope of electing a congressman-at-large from New Mexi co, the democrats had one grain of comfort. It was that an official count may disclose that Thomas J. Scully has been re-elected from the Third New Jersey district. They contend ed the chances were that Scully had been the victor by a few votes over Robert Carson, his republican oppo nent, to whom the election previous ly had been conceded by a narrow margin. Upon the basis of unofficial returns the democrats have elected 215 mem bers of the house and the republicans 215. The senate will consist of fifty-four democrats and forty-two republicans, a majority of twelve. The democratic majority in the present senate is six teen. An unusual feature of the result is the election of the first woman to con gress, Miss Jeannttte Rankin, repub lican, having been elected in Mon tana. The house, according to the un official returns will be divided politic ally as follows: State. Rep. Dem. Alabama . 10 Arizona . 1 Arkansas . 7 California . 5 6 Colorado . 1 3 Connecticut . 4 1 Delaware . 1 Florida . 4 Georgia . 12 Idaho . 2 Illinois . 21 6 Indiana . 9 4 Iowa . 11 Kansas . 3 5 Kentucky . 2 9 Louisiana . 7 Maine . 4 Massachusetts . 11 4 Maryland . 2 4 Michigan . 12 1 Minnesota .

Washington.—Government officials here are deeply Interested and not a little concerned over announcements from democratic and republican cam paign leaders that contests might be expected, with a possibility of legal proceedings over the votes for presi dential electors in several of the close states. Examination of the decisions of the supreme court and of the revised statutes disclosed that electors are plainly regarded as state officers. The highest court has held in two leading cases that questions of their proper or improper choice are for state elec tion officers or state courts to deter mine, and that the federal government is not lawfully concerned even if fraud is shown. The revised statutes provide that the electors shall meet in each state and “give their votes" on the second Monday in January, following election, at places to be designated by the state legislature. In the ordinary course of proceedings, where the right of the electors to sit is uncontested, their votes would be counted in the house of representatives here on the second Wednesday in February, and this would be the legal end of the election. The statutes further provide that where a state shall have laws made prior to the election, determining methods by which controversies or contests over electors shall be set tled, whether by judicial proceedings or otherwise, these laws “shall be binding and shall govern in counting the electoral votes.” Officials here were under the impression that it would be found that all the states that may be involved in contests have laws of this character. Aside from the direction that the electoral votes of all the states be counted in the house on the second Wednesday in February, there seems to be nothing to indicate just how much latitude a state might have in determining contests so as to have its vote counted at the fixed time. The statutes provide that the votes of the states be forwarded to Washing ton forthwith after the electors meet on the second Monday in January and also say that whenever the certificate of any state as to its electors has not been received in Washington on the fourth Monday in January, a special messenger shall be sent to the fed eral district judge in that state, in whose hands one certificate must be lodged, and he is requested "forth with.” to forward his certificate to the capital.

DEMOCRATS SWEEP THE STATE Keith Neville Elected Governor; Hitchcock Re-elected United States Senator; Other Democratic Candi dates Win; Wilson Carries the State. Nebraska voters decided the pro hibition question on election day by adopting amendment No. 3l)0 to tilt state constitution to prohibit the sale of intoxicating liquors within the borders of its commonwealth. The dry amendment rolled up a majority all the way from a few hundred to as much as three thousand in nearly every county in the state-and won by approximately 25,000 votes. Douglas county, where the liquor element put up one of the most spirited fights ever waged in the state, went wet by a majority of about eight thousand, considerably less than when county option was voted upon several years ! ago. The dry workers centered their fight in the county the last few- days of the campaign and to that effort credit is given for the big dry- vote. The amendment must be approved by the stato legislature and the governor, after which the law will become ef tective on May first next year. Democratic heads of the state i ticket w-on a sweeping victory. Keith ; Neville of North Platte for the gover- i norship defeated Judge Sutton of Omaha by a majority of approximate ly 15,000. Wilson carried the state by about twenty-five thousand votes. On the senatorship fight Gilbert M. Hitchcock was re-elected, having rounded out a total of 15,000 majority, over John L. Kennedy, his republican opponent. Ldgar Howard, for lieutenant gov ernor; Charles Pool, for secretary of j state; Smith, for state auditor; 'Willis Reed, for attorney general: Hall, for state treasurer and Vic Wilson, for railway commissioner, all democratic candidates, were victorious according to unofficial returns. The state superintendency is still in doubt between Superintendent Thomas and W. H. Clemmons, demo crat, and may require an official count to decide the winner. Commissioner Fred Beckmann, re publican, is elected on the face of un official returns, although by a very close margin. Andrew Morrissey has been elected I to succeed himself as chief justice of I the supreme court, over Associate Justice Fawcett. Lancaster Switches Vote. Lancaster county, normally republi can by 2,500 votes, encountered a J democratic landslide which swept out the entire court house, which has been in republican hands for years. Hitchcock and Neville, however, were the victims of systematic cutting, and lost the county by more than 1,500 each. Douglas County Democratic Douglas county returns show that i democratic state and national candi dates made a clean sweep of the coun ty. From President Wilson to the j subordinate state officers, every dem ocratic candidate carried the county by good majorities. Opposition to the prohibitory amendment piled up a majority against the measure somewhat larger than the original forecasts. Nebraska in Congress. Nebraska’s delegation in the lower house of congress will be unchanged during the coming two years. Re turns on a considerable portion of each district shows that the three re publicans and three democrats who have been there for the past two years —and some of them longer, to recall “Fncle Mose” Kinkaid and Charley Sloan—will be on hand when the gong rings to swear in new officers next March. The totals compiled from unofficial returns are as follows: First District. Reavis (rep.) . 15.816 Maguire (dem.) . 12,062 Second District. Lobeck (dem.) .*24,716 Baker (rep.) .*16,157 Third District. Stephens (dem.) . 16,4511 Warner (rep.) . 15,1521 Fourth District. Sloan (rep.) .•. 21,5431 Stark (dem.) . 17,385. Fifth District.

HARDING ELECTED IN IOWA. Hughes Ca'ries the State by More Then 50,000 Votes. Des Moines, la.—Iowa went repub lican in Tuesday’s election by prob ably more titan 50,000 for Hughes and more than 100,00U for W. L. Harding, republican, for governor. The rest of the republican state ticket and a ma jority of the congressmen were also elected. A bitter fight was made on Harding by churches and organiza tions which charged that he was op posed to prohibition, but Harding ran ahead of his ticket in nearly all coun ties of the state. Charles W. Rawson, republicau state chairman, declared that the vote throughout the state during the early hours was way above the average. At democratic headquarters it -was stated that similar statements had been re ceived from the democratic county chairmen. The congressional delegation from Iowa will probably be unchanged, be lated returns indicated that Congress man Steele of the Eleventh district has triumphed over the early lead of his republican opponent. i-—-—• - ■11 - •. W. L. HARDING, Iowa’s Newly Elected Governor. All Roads May Attack Law. Chicago.—All railroads of the coun try are considering the filing of in junction suits attacking the Adamson law, as was done by the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific here and pre viously in other states by the Union Pacific and the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, according to Vice President Sewall of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul. Mr. Sewall said that his road had the filing of an injunction suit under consideration, but that decision on the matter had not been reached. A similar suit, seeking to enjoin the same defendants, was filed by the Chicago Great Western. December 4 was set by the court as the date on which the'United States’ district attorneys for northern and southern Illinois and the chair men of the general committees on the Rock Island system of the four rail road employes’ brotherhoods, ane to answer the receiver’s petitions for an injunction to restrain enforce ment of the law.

Prelimi nary returns from nearly all operat ing beet sugar factories announced by the Department of Agriculture place production at 918,800 tons, the acreage at 680,000 and beets used for sugar 6,671,000 tons. Beet sugar pro duction this year exceeds the record by 44,600 tons. Montana in Dry column.

POMP OF WAR FORGOTTEN Invisibility in the Field Is the Object of the Commanders of the Present Day* The greenish-gray uniform of tho German soldier which makes the kaiser’r, troops almost invisible, whether in woods, fields or roads, is very similar to the color worn by the Confederate soldier in the Civil war. At first the Confederate uni tOTBM were a bluish-gray—a color now known as caaet gray. However, the fortunes of war soon placed such cloth at a premium in the Southern States. Uniforms in many cases were made at home. They were col ored with a homemade dye obtained from butternuts. The butternut gray was a neutral gray with a greenish tinge. It defied detection at great dis tance. There are many alive today who can testify to the ease with which Johnnie Reb disappeared from the landscape or dissolved into it. The butternut color soon became popular with the Southern com manders, who realized its advantages in aiding concealment. In the latter part of the war almost all of the manufactured uniforms were dyed with butternuts. In the last few years military lead ers all over the world have given more thought to color selection' than ever before. The adoption of khaki uniforms, about the time of the South African war, was the first important step toward protective coloration. A uniform that tends to conceal the movements of troops ranks next to smokeless powder in military strategy. Even tbe guns of the artillery, the gun carriages and the supply wagons of today are coated with gray. The war chiefs are closely following na ture in her deception by means of protective coloration. “The glint of the sunlight on the enemy’s guns” is fast becoming an obsolete war term.— Washington Times. Handsome women are not always the most amiable. Belgian Mirrors. f It will soon cost us more to "see ourselves as others see us,” and ir. a few months plated glass will be unob tainable. This was one of the things that Belgium made for us, at Liege, Namur and Charleroi. But the factor ies have been smashed by the Ger mans, and no more glass will be made and plated there for a long time to come. For its manufacture it needs a huge plant, acres of land, and a fine sand which Is found only in Bel gium and certain parts ot France, so this is an industry we shall not be able to Anglicize in a moment.— London Chronicle. Important Function. “That man doesn't seem to do much but stand around and look important,” said the manager. “Yes.” said tne proprietor. “He’s naturally gifted that. way. All the rest of us are hustl ing in such a hurly burly fashion that I think it is well to keep him around to give a touch of ease and dignity to the scene.” MINERALS IN FOOD j ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY FOR PRESERVATION OF HEALTH. Physical Ailments Sure to Result When They Are Lacking—Serve Fruit, Vegetables, Milk and Eggs Liberally. Prepared hy I .a ura Breeze of the De partment of Farmers' Institutes of the university of Wisconsin. Some of the physical ailments result j in£ from mineral starvation are rick ets, scurvy, pellagra and anemia. Aa auetuic person lias weakened vitality ! and resisting power, and is, therefore, j a prey to colds, grippe and fevers. The foods rich in minerals are vege tables and fruits. Dreads and cereals made from whole grains, eggs, milk and the natural rice. In the milling of the white flours, cornmeal, some oat meal and most cereals, the parts of the j grains containing the greatest amount | of mineral substance are eliminated, ! consequently their value as sources of ! mineral foods is reduced. The housewife, however, can always supply her table with fruit, vegetables, milk and eggs. There are such numer ous ways of serving these foods that tlieir appearance on the table should | never become monotonous. The following recipe otters sugges tions for an attractive way of serving cabbage, tbe mineral content of which is very high: Imperial Cabbage.—One medium sized head of cabbage; two carrots, pared; two potatoes, pared; one cup ful of cooked meat or chicken (or more, 1 if desired) ; two teaspoonfuls of salt, , one small onion, one-fourth cupful but ; ter, melted; a little pepper. Remove decayed leaves of the cab bage ; form a basket of t he head by re moving the center and allowing two layers of tlie outside leaves to remain attached to the core. Crisp the cab bage by allowing it to stand in cold | water. Drain well. I’ut the cabbage removed from tilt I center, the carrots, potatoes, onion and meat through the food grinder, add butter and seasoning. Mix ail well, sind fill the cabbage with the mixture. Tie tlie leaves in place over the stufling with a clean string, and pluce the cabbage In a tightly covered bak ing disli and bake about one. hour There will be no need of adding water, j as there is sufficient moisture in the 1 vegetables to steam them. Apple and Rice Pudding. Peel small, tart apples, core aud put them in a baking dish. Have ready one cupful of boiled rice, mix with it two cupfuls of hot milk, into which has been beaten the yolks of three eggs and one-half cupful of sugar. Stir in one-half cupful raisins, some strips of citron and, if you wish to, one-half cupful blanched almonds. Put one teaspoonful of sugar into each ap ple and pour this mixture over them. Put in oven, covered, and bake until the apples are tender. This pudding tr ay be frosted with the whites ol eggs or served with whipped cream. Apple Dowdy. Cut up apples in pudding dish in quarters (in eighths of apples are hard), sprinkle about four tablespoonfuls ot sugar over the apples, a few drops ot lbmori extract and some bits of but ter. Add about a tnblespoonful of water. Make nice piecrust and cover. Bake about one hour Eat hot with whipped cream flavored with vanilla or nutmeg. Fill dish quite full of ap ples. as they shrink in cooking. Can bake this Saturday and warm over in oven on Sunday. Hint on Broiling Fish. Has anyone ever tried broiling fish on paper? Some call it pan-boiled. Ev erybody knows how flsh sticks to broiler pan or any other receptacle it is cooked in, no matter how well greased. Cut thick brown paper, two inches larger than pan, so it will set well upon the sides and ends; butter and lay fish on; place pan in broiler pan and set quite close to gas. It will cook and brown deliriously and, best of all, leave your pan clean.—Bal timore American. Tea Rolls. Dissolve a yeast cake and one table spoonful of sugar in one cupful of milk, then add two tablespoonfuls of lard or butter melted and a half tea spoonful of salt. Beat until smooth, by adding four cupfuls of sifted flour, and a little more milk if needed. Knead thoroughly, roll out and shape Into rolls. Place In a greased pan, and let rise for about two hours. When light, bake tn o hot oven ten minutes. Mountain Muffins. Pour one and one-fourth cupfuls of scalding milk on one cupful of white Indian cornmeal, cover, let stand ten minutes, add one cupful of cold boiled rice, mix, add one cupful of flour mixed with three teaspoonfuls of bak ing powder, two tablespoonfuls of su gar, one teaspoonful of salt, two well beaten eggs, two tablespoonfuls melt ed butter. Beat hard. Bake in greased muffin pans in a hot oven. Bread and Prurle Pudding. Soak a pound of prunes in warm water all day. Butter a baking dish and put in a layer of stale bread cut in thin slices and buttered a little, then a layer of stoned prunes, and so on until the dish is full, the Inst layer being bread. Beat two eggs with one quarter cupful of sugar, add a pint of milk, pour over the prunes and bread, and bake one hour. Swiss Salad. Mix one cupful of cold cooked chick en cut in cubes, one cupful of chopped English walnut meats, one cupful of French peas, one cucumber pared and cut in cubes. Marinate with French dressing, arrange on serving dish and garnish with mayonnaise dressing. Good Fudge. A few drops of molasses in your fudge will prevent it from getting sugary and improves the flavor. To get the best results every ingredient should be accurately measured .
