Some of the demorcatlc leaders predicted.
The returns show very discriminative

governor ran this far1 ahead, no other
democrat on the state ticket got a plu
rality larger than 200 except Pool and
only three won out at all.'

If two British cruisers went -down-It
is possible that some 1,600 men
were lost. Early reports spoke of

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. . 4.-The bril
liant victory of the German ,' squadron
over the British off the coast of Chile
places a new aspect en the naval, situa
tion In the Pacific.
For the present, at least, It definitely
shifts command of southern waters to
the Germans, and until there haa been a
readjustment of. forces will make Itself
felt In' the' movement of all cargoes be
tween the Pacific coast and Europe.
Whloh way the Germans will elect to
.turn next to purest speculation, but they'
are free to move northwsnj t the mouth
of; the Panama, canals or'Jo, .continue
southward toward the passage through
the straits of Magellan and the route
around the Horn.. ' :
At the same- time the Wade' lanes be
tween Ban Francisco, Fuget sound ' and
the orient, ' already heavily policed by
Japanese ahd British, are now cleared of
menace, and the allied patrols can move
against the enemy with a definite ob
jective. .
The engagement accounts for all , Ger
man warships at large In the Pat.io
and east of Sues, except the Kmden,
whose repeated raids on British . com
merce In the Indian ocean have been so
costly. - .
OTTAWA, Ont Nov. 1-The presence
of five German warships In the Paclfio
off the coast of Chile, and the proba
bility that two more, the Dresden and
the Emden, are on their way to Join
them, created considerable apprehension
here for the safety of Canadian cities on
the Pacific roast. To meet the situation
the naval authorities at Ottawa were In
conference all forenoon. Measures if
Is said, will likely be taken,
they are haa not bee de
termined
' The fact that the German warships had
been gathered Into one, fleet was taken
here as a clear Indication that Germany

The, vote on governoa outside of Doug

Trend is Against
Suffrage as More
. Returns Come In
After having led - In the first meager
reports until yesterday afternoon, woman'
suffrage' began to fall somewhere behind
In ' tha afternoon. Counting ' Douk'lus
county, the thirty-one counties from
which ' Incomplete returns have been
heard from, give suffrage 19.306, and
against . suffrage 21,fc7. ' This gives fho
antta In these incomplete returns, a ma
jority' of 1,701.
The thirty counties outside of Douglas,
with mostly Incomplete returns, also give
the antla a majority of 7W. Douglas
county voted: For, 7.CJS; against,' 8,3(t.
Tha vote aa It had straggled In by
Wednesday . evening stood, outside of
Douglas county, as follows:
For,
Down with politics, up with salaries,
out with tile physically unfit! That la a
dominant cry at the annual convention
of the Nebraska State Teachers' associa
tion. .
l v The convention opened with a large at
tendance yesterday In the banqunt hall of
Hotel Rome. Fully 4.000 delegates are ex
pected, despite the fact that mny teach
ers refused to attend because of the pol
itics characterising the affairs of the as
sociation In the past. But now that the
association has set Its foot down hard
on politics, that'giiovanco probably will
be fully redressed before another con
vention rolls around.
The antl-politlcs sentiment Is so mani
fest now that no ono Is even so much as
suggesting candidates for the presidency.
The field Is open, the race free.
The main sessions of the convention to
day .and tomorrow will be held In the
Auditorium. Rectlonal meetings will be
held in First Methodist and other nearby
churches, Chambers' academy and else
where. There are thlrty-awo of these de
partmental gatherings ln all.

Barr Strikes Keynote.
Superintendent C. M. Jlarr of Hastings
yesterday struck what eems to be a key
note of sentiment at this convention,
when, In his address at Hotel Rome, he
declared against politics, for higher pay
and the elimination by examination of
the physically unfit teaciiers. Along this
line he said:
"I know of my wn absolute knowl
edge that many teaehera sssnd all day
before a clasa of thlrty-flvo or mora an l
go through the pretense of teaching when
they are physically Incompetent to
teach. They ought to be eliminated, and
the only way to do It Is to secure the
passage of a law requiring physical ex
amination of school teachers.
"With tho physically unfit eliminated
an Increase In pay would probably fol
low. I believe the state of Nebraska ia
wealthy enough to pay every teacher a
living wage. The pay should extent
through the year. I .have seen old
teachers, who had worked tor 140 , a

COPENHAGEN, Nov. 4. (Via
London) A fleet of German war
ships bas gathered off the Aland
Islands, In the Baltic sea, northeast
of Stockholm and opposite the en
trance to tbe Gulf of Finland. They
evidently, were proceeding north and
biave stopped to await orders.
- BULLETIN.
DOVER, NOT. 4. (Via London.!
The report la being circulated that
the German fleet has come out from
Its base. It Is also reported from
Dunkirk that four battleships and
four cruisers have put to aea from
Kiel: ' ' v '
LONDON, Nov. 4 '-With preasura on
the France-Bel giajt jk cpast relieved. In
terest ln Londan again has been diverted
from land operations to naval movements.
Tha daring dash of a German squadron
to within ten miles of the northeast coast
of England indicates that the prolonged
Inactivity of the larger units of the Ger
man fleet has been broken by a raid on
tha coast of England, but much satisfac
tion la expressed that ihe cruiser Halcyon,
by the clever seamanship of Us com
mander, escaped from a tight corner
practically uninjured. The retiring Ger
man squadron dropped floating mines ln
Ita track and thla delayed pursuit.
Dardanelles Bombarded.
Another Interesting naval development
was the long distance bombardment ot
the Dardanelles by a combined allied fleet.
Athena reports that seventy shots were
fired at tha Turkish forts by tho British
ship. The result of the engagement Is un
known. A huge pillar of smoke on ahoro
Indicated that some of the shells must
have found their mark.
The official report from Belgian head
quarters are becoming mare positive In,,
their assertions that tha enemy la pre
