Battle Oeelc, Mich. PEOPLE'S MICE DEMOCRATS WILL HAVE CON TROL OF THE UNITED STATES SENATE. SUFFRAGE IN 4 STATES Illinois and Kansas for Wilson and Marshall—A General Shakeup for the House Com f1 mittees. Woodrovy Wilson, President. Thomak R. Marshall, yijee PreskUsnt. Only the popular vote of the three presidential candidates and complex ion of legislatures that will name United States senators hold interest in the general election. . Control of the senate in the Sixty third congress now is practically as sured the democrats. Conceding to the republicans the legislatures of all States still in the doubtful column, the democrats will have a vote of for ty-eight, or one-half of the entire ipembership of the senate, with a democratic vice president in the chair to cast the deciding ballot in case of a tie. A few States are yet to be heard from definitely. A senator from one of these would give the democrats a clear majority and it is possible their strength will be even further in creased by winning in several. Kansas has been added to the dem ocratic column. The States in which the complexion of the legislatures are yet to be decided are: Illinois, Michi gan, New Hampshire, Oregon, South Dakota, Tennessee and Wyoming. Or dinarily, Tennessee could be relied upon to help the democratic party, but the factional fight there may prevent in, Äis crisis. In Illinois there are edifications growing out of the multiplicity of parties, rendering it un certain whether there will be a sen atorial election. In that State there should be chosen a successor to the deposed Senator Lorimer, as well as to Senator Cullom, whose term ex pires on the 4th of next March. If there should be no election, the ef fect would be to favor the demo crats by reducing the membership of the senate to ninety-four, of which number the forty-eight already chosen would be a working majority. Although democratic control of the house of representatives by a greatly increased majority is assured, a gen eral shake up of the personnel of the important house committees in the next congress will be necessary. The all-important ways and means committee, which will shape into bills the tariff policies of the Wilson ad ministration, was riddled by the elec tion. Of the fourteen democrats on the committee, four will not return. Two of these, however—Hughes of New Jersey and James of Kentucky— go to the senate. Randell of Texas and Brantley of Georgia are retired. Out of the seven republicans on the committee, but two apparently will remain. John Dalzell of Pennsylvania and Samuel W. McCall of Massachu setts, for shapers, appear on the re publican tariff policy, were not can didates at the polls, and Ebenezer Hill of Connecticut, James C. Need ham of California and Nicholas Long worth of Ohio were beaten. Sereno E. Payne of New York and Joseph W. Fordney of Michigan may be the only republicans left. The election of Representative Sui ter as governor of New York leaves vacant the chairmanship of the im portant foreign affairs committee. Flood of Virginia is ranking member of the committee. He declined the chairmanship two years ago to accept the lîl? important territories commit tee. fether he or Garner of Texas is exTrected to get the place. The election of Morris Sheppard of Texas to the senate, if senority is followed, will move Representative Burnett of Alabama to the chairman ship of the public buildings and grounds committee, which handles the big public buildings, so-called "pork barrel" bill. The vacancy at the head of the public lands committee caused by the failure of Representative Rob inson of Arkansas to return will prob ably be filled by moving up Represent ative Graham of Illinois, at 'present chairman of the committee on ex penditures in the interior department. After apparently holding Illinois, from the time the polls closed, Colonel Roosevelt lost his twenty-nine elec toral vote« when the assembling of Statewide returns showed a definite victory for Governor Wilson. The preliminary count gives Wilson >SSjftoxit"aiely 4G per cent of the vote, ü ^rsevelt 29 per cent and Taft 25 per cent. The total vote thus far reported is less than in 1908, while official returns are expected to bring it a.bove these figures. In 1908 out combined vote of 14 ,030,858 cast for Taft and Bryan, President Taft received more than 54 per cent. Re turns from Minnesota confirmed the claim oji ^oosevelt to the twelve elec toral of that State. The victory for Wilson in New Hampshire did not carry with it con trol of the State legislature, where the republicans again have a majority on joint ballot, and will dictate the selection of a United States senator. Representative Henry of Texas, chairman of the rules committee; Rep resenta|fi\ Burleson of Texas, a mem ber of appropriations committee, and Representative Underwood, head of the ways and means committee, have been mentioned as cabinet possi bilities. X by-phi»»» of the general election is the success of woman suffrage in four of the five States where constitutional amendments were submitted to the. people. The victory of the women was complete in Kansas, Arizona and Michigan, and returns from Oregon indicate they had succeeded there also; while from Wisconsin came re turns showing the decisive defeat of the proposal. Democrats Who Won. Two in Colorado, where John F. Shafroth, democrat, for the full term, and C. S. Thomas, democrat, for the short term, will be elected by a demo cratic legislature. One in Montana, where republicans and progressives conceded the elec tion of T. J. Walsh, democrat. One in Kansas, where W. R. Stubbs, republican, conceded the election of his opponent, W. H. Thompson, demo crat. * One in Delaware, a democratic leg islature, assuring the return of a dem ocrat to succeed Richardson, repub lican, retired. One in New Jersey, where William Hughes, democrat, will succeed Briggs, republican. The uncertainty as to West Vir ginia, indicated in earlier reports, seemed apparently the only obstacle to a democratic majority. Definite re turns are still lacking from Oregon, Wyoming, Tennessee, New Hampshire, Illinois, Iowa and South Dakota. Late figures from Nevada indicate Pittman, democrat, is leading and probably is elected. The New Senate. The personnel of the new senate in the National congress will show many well known veterans, with a large in fusion of new blood. Among senators holding over are: Root, Lodge, La Follette, Gallinger, Penrose, Clapp, Culberson, Kern, O'Gorman, Rayner, Shiveley and Hoke Smith. Others re-elected or like ly to come back include Senators Ba con, Tillman, Borah, Nelson, Sim mons, Martin, Bankhead, Davis and Owens. Among those who failed of renomi nation and whose names will not ap pear on the senate rolls after the 4th of March is Shelby M. Cuilom of Illi nois, whose congressional career goes back to the time of Abraham Lincoln. Included in this list are Senators Cur tis of Kansas, Bourne of Oregon and Gamble of South Dakota. Retire Voluntarily. Senators Bailey of Texas, Crane of Massachusetts, Guggenheim of Colo rado, Richardson of Delaware, Burn ham wf New Hampshire and Wetmore of Rhode Island retire voluntarily. Among the most prominent of the new men who already have been chosen are Ollie James of Kentucky and Joseph E. Randell of Louisiana, both present members of the house and both democrats. Mr. James suc ceeds Senator Painter and Mr. Ran dell Senator Murphy Foster. Former Governor Vardamann comes as the successor of Senator Leroy Percy of Mississippi, and former Representa tive William Hughes as the successor of Senator Briggs of New Jersey. Rep resentative G. W. Norris of Nebraska will probably succeed Senator Nor ris Brown. The progressive republicans who were candidates for the senate and whose success seem assured by the election of legislatures in sympathy with them are Borah of Idaho, Norris of Nebraska, Keynon of Iowa and Sherman of Illinois. Senator Dixon of Montana, who has given his time to Colonel Roosevelt's campaign, is in the doubtful list, with the chances against him. A report from Omaha, Neb., says: A democratic legislature doubtless will be called upon to elect a republican for United States senator. House of Representatives./ Democrats 288, republicans 116, pro gressives 13. Districts unreported 18. The foregoing showed the standing of the house of representatives in the Sixty-third (new) congress. The total of 288 gave the democrats seventy more than the 218 necessary for a majority and fifty-eight more than the democratic membership in the Sixty-second congress. Later returns did not diminish the heavy democratic majority in the house of representatives, but they did play see-saw with "Uncle Joe" Cannon and finally left him defeated by a ma jority of 600. Gillette of Massachu setts probably will succeed Cannon's position as senior republican oil the appropriations committee. Congressman Richard Bartholdt, re publican, was returned a£ St. Louis for his eleventh term by the slim margin of nearly a thousand vote». In the Tenth Illinois district George E. Foss, the republican brother of Governor Foss of Massachusetts, was defeated for re-election by Charles M. Thompson, progressive. In the Second Massachusetts dis trict Thomas L. Hisgen, who four years tifo wan candidate for president ob the social tabor ticket, was defeat ed 1» a race for congress with Fred erick H. Gillett, republican. Hisgen was running as a progressive. In the Eleventh Missouri district Theron E. Catlin, republican, who was unseated by the last house, was de feated in his race for re-etection by William L. Igoe, democrat. Two men were fatally injured and four others are suffering from severe scald burns as the result of the blow ing out of the head of the battleship Vermont's number six boiler, as the Vermont lay at anchor in Hampton Roads, Va., Sunday. Mrs. Louise A. Lindloff, spiritualist and crystal gazer, was found guilty of murder by a jury in Chicago Monday, and her punishment fixed at twenty five years in the penitentiary. She was charged with the poisoning of her 15-year-old son Arthur. ) Latin-Americans Are Jubilant. New Orleans.—Latin-Americans in New Orleans are jubilant over the election of. Woodrorç Wilson. At a meeting of the Central American colony Friday a telegram of congratu lations was sent to Mr. Wilson in which the belief *as expressed that the Wilson ration would mean the de&th'Hft rfoiiai» diplomacy which has brought untold suffering and loss of life and property to our people, and the re -establishinent of pleasant social and commercial rela tions between the United States and the republics to the south. The telegram expressed the view that the strong anti -American feeling, engendered by the Knox policy in Latin-America, would be dispelled by the general belief of the people of the southern republics that "Mr. Wil son would accord them a square deal." The telegram was signed by Don Policarpo Bonilla, former president of Honduras; Angel Ugarte; General Francisco Altschul, former governor of Granada, Nicaragua, and Colonel Carlos Martinez, a prominent Nicara guan exile. Jose Santos Zelaya, former presi dent of Nicaragua, cabled from Spain to General Altschul to extend his con gratulations to Mr. Wilson. W. C. T. U. in Session. Alexandria.—The convention of the Louisiana Women's Christian Temper ance Union opened Friday. The con vention assembled with Mrs. A. C. McKinney of Ruston in the chair. An address of welcome was delivered by Mrs. Robinson of Alexandria and re sponded to by Mrs. McKinney. Re ports of work by the unions at Col fax, Athens, Polock, Monroe and Min den were submitted by delegates from those places. Progress was noted in each instance. The different committees were ap pointed as follows: Credentials—Mrs. J. B. McKnight, Miss Werlein. Finance—Mrs. Robinson, Mrs. Mc Henry, Mrs. Boyce. Extension of Work—Mrs. Lips comb, Mrs. Edward Tucker, Miss Seple, Mrs. Lee, Mrs. Bradley, Mrs. BrownJee, Mrs. Stewart, Mrs. Huck aby, Mrs. Oliver, Mrs. J. L. Dunham. "Glimpses of the National Conven tion" was the subject of an address by the president, Mrs. McKinney. Ad dresses were also delivered by Mrs. .W. H. McHenry of Monroe and Mrs. John B. Parker of New Orleans. New Orleans Sugar. New Orleans.—The market for sugar held steady Saturday, with some little improvement in receipts, although the aggregate was light for this period of the year and assort ment was again lacking. The market generally exhibited no marked change in conditions, but crop reports as to actual output were again pessimistic. The market Closed steady at quoted figures. Refined sugars were quiet and no quotable change was marked on the official list. New York reported a quiet and unchanged market on both refined and raws. Receipts were 2,220 barrels and 2,014 sacks of sugar and 1,699 bar rels of molasses. London cables show a slight ad vance in December beet. Estimates of the European beet crop remain un changed. Sugar quotations at receivers' prices: Yellow clarified, 3 15-16® 4t&c; seconds, ho sales; open kettle centrifugal, 3%c. Market firm. Molasses quiet; open kettle, none. Postmasters Adjourn. Shreveport.—The sixth annual ses sion of the Louisiana Leagde of Post masters came to a close Thursday. New Ocjeans was selected as the next meeting place, and the following of ficers were elected : Henry C. Maurin, LaPlace, president; C. C. Dow, Ber nice; Miss Bessie C. Boone, Mount Lebanon; C. H. Fgfguson, Atlanta, vice presidents; R. G. Hawkins of Pal metto was re-elected secretary and treasurer. Five delegates to the national con vention in Oklahoma City were named as follows: W. W. McCoy, H. C. Maurin, Dr. R. G. Hawkins, C. C. Dow and B. F. Post, the retiring president. Creates New Drainage District. Lake Charles.—The Southwest Cal casieu drainage district No. 1. was formally created by the police jury recently. It embraces 18,000 acres west and south of Vinton. J. G. Gray, W. L. Perry and Pierre Cormier were named as commissioners. The new police juries of Allen, Beauregard and Jefferson Davis parishes will meet with the Calcasieu police jury in De cember to make arrangements for Murder Trial Begun. Shreveport.—The trial of E. L Blassengame, white, oil field operator, for the killing of Ed Wilson, another white man, at Oil City on October 8, was begun Friday. The two men fell out because of the alleged mistreat ment of a woman by Wilson and the shooting followed. Arrests Alleged Liquor Sellers. Lake Charles.—Alfred Tufanio, Sam Marchette and Alfonso Marchette were arrested Saturday j FARMERS' NATIONAL CONGRESS. Members From All Over U/iited States Were in Attendance—Mayor Delivers Address. New Orleans.—With about 500 members present, the Farmers' Na tional Congress, the Patrons of Hus bandry, hailing from all over the United States, but. with Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi, Arkansas, Okla homa, Kansas, Missouri, Alabama and other Southern States very strongly represented, opened its thirty-second annual convention promptly Friday. The nrst day was devoted to the de livery of the addresses of welcome by the local speakers, to responses by members of visiting delegations and to an address on the legislative needs of the farmers by Senator-elect Jo seph E. Ransdell of Louisiana. President Charles F. S&nford of New London, Ohio, was chairman. Archbishop James H. Blenk, Senator Ransdell, Mayor Martin Behrman, Chairman E. O. Wild of the local executive committee, Colonel E. W. Wickley of East Chicago, Ind.; Colo nel Beneham Cameron of North Caro lina, Professor George W. Stockbridge of Atlanta, Secretary J. H. Kimble, Assistant Secretary J. H. Patton, Treasurer W. L. Ames, Executive Com mitteeman E. C. Lawson, Director Levi Morrison, and E. O. Bruner and Justin F. Denechaud, both of the Louisiana agricultural department, were in attendance. Archbishop Blenk pronounced the invocation. Mayor Behrman was introduced for the first address of welcome. He told of the marvelous richness of Louis iana's soil, the extent of her resources and the progress made in agricultural lines in this State. Colonel E. W. Wickley of East Chi cago, Ind., responded for the members of the congress. He referred to New Orleans' excellent form of govern ment under the new commission sys tem and praised the administration of Mayor Behrman. Professor George W. Stockbridge, editor of an agricultural paper in At lanta, next responded to the addresses of welcome. He said: "Agriculture is the art of arts. Without it all the world would be a wilderness. It is the basis of the industries, manufac turing, transportation and mining." Professor Stockbridge declared that it was the votes of the farmers that elected Woodrow Wilson president last Tuesday. Votes always stand for principles and for ideas. Crowley Sanitarium Opens. Crowley.—The Crowley sanitarium, which has been in course of construc tion for several months, has been opened and is now ready to receive patients. The new sanitarium is a large frame building and is equipped along modern lines in ever-y depart ment. The building contains twelve rooms for patients, tastefully finished and many of them supplied with pri vate baths. There are two large halls, a well-equipped operating room, a sterilizing room equipped with one of the best sterilizers on the market, a linen room, a drug room and a large reception room. On the first floor is located a colored ward, large enough to accommodate a number of patients. The entire building is heated by hot water. The sanitarium is in charge of Mrs. B. A. Bellew, matron. The Crowley Sanitarium Company was chartered May 24, 1912, and is composed almost solely of local peo ple and capital. Reduce Loss of Damaged Cotton. New Orleans.—Through the estab lishment of the Atlantic and Gulf in spection bureau, as a result of the South Atlantic and Gulf steamship conference, the local steamship agents claim that the losses from damaged cotton will be greatly reduced. The operation of this bureau is a victory for the steamship owners, who had threatened to penalize the shippers by increased rates if there was not an improvement in the baling and cover ing of cotton. Cause of Fire Known. Lake Charles.—The report that the mill of the Anaco County Lumber Company at Grabow, formerly the Gal loway Lumber Company's plant, the scene of the recent labor riot, had been destroyed through incendiary origin is absolutely incorrect. A statement was made by B. R. Moses, the genoral manager of the company, who was^it Grabow at the time of the blaze, that the fire origi nated in the boiler room. The mill was destroyed at a loss of about $15,000, but ihe planer and over 4,000,000 feet of lumber was saved, the loss being partially covered by in surance. Ownership of Railroad Lands. Alexandria.—A number of people gave testimony Friday before the United States special commissioner, R. S. Thornton, in equity suits in volving the ownership of certain rail road lands. F. G. Hudson, Jr., of Mon roe and Attorney J. B. Roberts of Col fax represented the complainants, the Goulds et al, and Cass Moss and J. T. Long of Winnfield represented the defendants. Provide for Additional Teacher. Alexandria.—The city board do nated $600 for the purpose of employ ing additional teacher in the High school to take care of the additional number of pupils that have entered this session. Mandot Off for the Coast. New Orleans—Joe Mandot, the local lightweight who fought a ten-round no decision bout Monday night with Ad Wolgast, and by a majority of the newspapers was declared the winner. Pretty Young Woman Arrested. Houston. Tex.—An officer from El Oampo came to Houston on Wednes day to take into custody a pretty young woman who is wanted on the charge of assisting W. T. Goodwin in escaping from jail at that place. Mrs. Jones—What did you say to the janitor? Jones—I told him that he could make some warm friends if he would only turn on a little heat. SKIN DISEASE ON FACE Barthell, Ky.—"I had a skin disease on my face, neck and hands that tor mented me all the time and when I would get hot the places would burn so that I had to keep my face wet in cold water. It began as pimples and indeed it was disfiguring, for it would get in spot* on my face; «md bands as large as a quarter of a dollar. It would get into blisters sometimes and I sure did suffer. My face burned all the time. It was this way so bad for about six years and I tried everything that I could hear of, hut nothing Aid any good. "One day I found the Cuticura Soap and Ointment advertised and ordered some at once. I would wash my face good with the Cuticura Soap and then apply the Cuticura Ointment and they have cured me. It would take half a tablet to tell all I suffered in those six years." (Signed) Mrs. Delia Hill, Jan. 3, 1912. Cuticura Soap and Ointment sold throughout the world. Sample of each free, with 32-p. Skin Book. Address post-card "Cuticura, Dept. L, Boston." Adv. Newspapers and Literature. All this over emphasis of the un meaning surface is due to a confusion of newspaper and literary standards, ends, aims. The word literary has come to suggest an absence of red-blood; spinners and knitters in the sun; the 35 cent magazine crowd; this is non sensical of course. In its elemental meaning literature is at least as stern a job as journalism, albeit the inten tion and function of the latter is mere ly to present things that happen, of the former to volatilize such material into hovering and potent meanings, to strike the rock and raise a spirit that is life. Truth About Old Age. George F. Baer, the famous Phila delphia railroad man, said on his seventieth birthday: "I agree with Professor Metchnikoff about the wisdom of the old. Profes sor Osier made it fashionable to de cry gray hairs, but my experience has been that the old not only possess wisdom, but they seek it also." With a smile Mr. Baer added "The only people who think are too old to learn are those really are too young." they who English Stump Speech.
