THE BEE: OMAHA, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 1919. CANDIDATES OF TAMMANY ARE A L L JJEFEATED Republican Candidates Win in New York and Coolidge in .Massachusetts New Jersey in Doubt. (Contlnotd From Tut On.) crats also vorked hard to bring the voters to the polls, with the result that the total vote was one of ths heaviest ever cast in the state. In Boston Long's . plurality of nearly 20,000 last year was cut to less than half that figure today. .Fred J. Burrell, republican candi date for state treasurer, and the other nominees on the state ticket, were elected by large pluralities. NEW "JERSEY. Trenton, Nov. 4. Edward I. Ed wards was leading Newton K. Bug bee, his republican opponent in the race for governor, by a margin of 12? votes at 2 o clock this morning. With returns received from 1,704 districts out of 2,011, the vote was Edwards 180,716, Bugbee 180,580. KENTUCKY. Louisville, Nov. 4. Edwin" P. Morrow, republican, today was elect ed governor of Kentucky, over Gov ernor James D. Black, democrat, by a large majority. It! the western end of the state there was a considerable falling off of democratic normal majorities, while in Jefferson county, which in cludes Louisville, the republican can didate not only overturned a ma jority of 4,063 for Stanley, demo crat, two years ago, but turned it into a republican victory by approx imately 9.000. Prohibition Carrie. Figures on the two constitutional amendments seemed to indicate that the atatewide prohibition amendment had earned by a large majority. Tab ulation had few figures on the amendment which would remove of ficers who failed to protect prisoners from mobs. The issues in the, campaign were local. During the campaign Governor Black made speeches favoring the league of nations. Mr. Morrow was silent on the subject, but his man agers in published statements as serted he opposed it. Morrow's majority is estimated at from 15,000 to 20,000. Haynes Carter, personal manager for Gov ernor Black, in a statement con ceded Black's defeat by front 8,000 to 10,000. Unofficial returns from eastern Kentucky, where it .was expected that the democratic nominee would cut normal republican majorities, showed Morrow holding his own and in some cases exceeding figures in the gubernatoral electons two years ago. MARYLAND. Baltimore, Nov. 4. The result of today's election in Maryland was in doubt at midnight. With less than one-half of the city of Baltimpre hrt frntn. Attornev General A. C. Richie, the democratic nominee for governor, was leading his republi can opponent, Harry W. Nice, state attorney, ot Baltimore, Dy aDoui 1,000 in Baltimore city. Based on these. figures, the demo crats were claiming that Mr. Richie would carry Baltimore fcy about 1,200. Few definite returns had been re ceived from the counties, however, and it seemed probable that the re sult would not be known for some hours. MISSISSIPPI. Jackson, Miss., Nov. 4. The Mis sissippi democratic ticket was elect ed in today's general election by a plurality of approximately 50,000. The socialist state candidates, which furnished the only opposition to the democrats, polled less than 10,000 votes. , . Lee M. Russell, present lieutenant governor, was elected governor, and H. H. Casteel was chosen lieutenant governor. James T. Lester, grand son of former Governor Poindexter, was the socialist nominee for gov ernor. The legislature will be democratic throughout, as no opposition ticket was put in the field in the districts, All counties went democratic. CHOPPING GOSSIP By rk i TajKioiv Lady Public Policy Questions " Carry in Illinois State Chicago, Nov. 4. Early returns from today's statewide election for constitutional convention delegates indicated tonight that the three public policy questions had gener ally carried in Chicago and Cook county districts py about 2 to. 1.

Insane Woman Kills Herself in City Jail (Continued From Face Out.) Wheeler, 16, and Russell Wheeler, 24, the former of Sioux Falls and the latter of Salem, daughter and son, have not yet been answered. In Matron's Room. Mrs. Wheeler was placed in the matron's room after she had told her story to Sergeant Rose. She re mained there all night and the next morning when she was refused her release she became hysterical. All morning and afternoon up to the time of the tragedy, she was hys terical, according to Acting Captain Peter Dillon. "An insanity complaint was filed in the cpunty attorney's office this aft ernpon," said Captain Dillon Tues day nights "We were going to take her to the county jail to await a hearing before an insanity commis sion. She never was booked here at central station.". Officers Behrens and Neilsen went to the matron's quarters at 4:30 to take Mrs. Wheeler to the country jail. She held the door of her compart ment closed refusing them admit tance. "We explained," said Behrens,. "that we were going to take her to the railroad station and put her on a train for her home. She stepped from the door a little bit and when we went to turn the knob and go in we heard the shot." Mrs. Wheeler's body was turned over to Willis Crosby, undertaker. Donald, the son, was taken in charge by juvenile authorities. No Search for Gun. Just where Mrs. Wheeler had the revolver is not known to the police. Mrs. Wheeler was not "searched" at the police station. Two grips and a paper handbag constituted her lug gage. The police believe she had the gun in one of the grips. Both were open in her room.

The miners simply ask for a regulation of the working time so that coal production and em ployent may be regular rather than intermittent. If the miners were permitted by the operators to work full time the supply of coal thus mined would soon force down, the price of coal on the market and this tUe operators are determined not to permit. The miners', case might better be stated by their demanding at least five days of six hours work per week, which is really more than they are permitted to work at the present time. An understanding ot these conditions clearly shows who are responsible for the present situ ation and the cause. No Practical Advance. . "When in 1914 the miners received an increase of 20 cents per ton, the operators raised the selling price $5 per ton. Surely the conditions and the standards of life of the miners have deteriorated by reason of there being no practical advance in their wages and their earning power, while the cost of living has soared higher and higher. "The mandate of the officers of the United Mine Workers of Amer ica was direct from the representa tives of the men, who at the recent convention, decided that unless a substantial improvement in wages and a regulation of the working time were granted the strike order should be i issued to take effect November 1. President Lewis and his asso ciates therefore had no alternative, particularly when the mine opera tors left the conference, leaving the representatives of the miners alone. Injunction Called Wrong. ' "The injunction secured by the at torney general could not prevent the strike' for it was issued after the strike notice had already gone forth. The injunction was not only a grave wrong but a gross blunder. It prac tically takes away the constructive influence of the officers of the , or ganization and indeed bars .them from attempting to end the strike. Instead of conservative leadership prevailing it places the whole move ment in the hands of local men who may vie with each other and be at variance with each other. If the in junction were vacated and the De partment of Labor invite the opera tors and the representatives of the United Mine Workers to a further conference, I have an abiding faith that a mutually honorable adjust ment can be negotiated and effected whereby the coal strike can be brought to an ed." ' Lignite Men May Strike. ? Bismarck, N. D., Nov. 4. Unless the 1,500 lignite coal miners of North Dakota are granted a 60 per cent increase in wages by midnight tonight they will walk out then, Henry Drennan, district president of the mine workers of North Dakota and Montana, told the North Dakota Lignite Operators associatioii, fol lowing five-hour conference late today in Governor L. J. Frazier's office. Domestic Crop Expected to Alleviate Sugar Lack Washington, Nov. 4. The short age of sugar will end when the new domestic crop reaches the market, said a minority report filed in the senate today by Senator Ransdell, democrat, Louisiana, opposing the majority plan to extend federal con trol of sugar and authorize pur chase of domestic and Cuban sugars. Funeral Services Friday for Florence Heuermann Funeral services will be held at the home in Arlington Friday at 1 for Florence Heuermann, who died at midnight Monday following an operation at Nicholas Senn hospital. She was a trained nurse, having stu died at the hospital, and was 26 years old. Labor Convention Candidates Elected (Continued From Face One.)

To do this, just get about four ounces of plain, common liquid arvon from any drug store (this is all you will need), ap ply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently witn the fmeer tins. By morning, most if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely dissolve and entirely de stroy every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dandruff you may have. You will find all itching and dig ging oi tne scaip will ston instantly. and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better.
