S BATTLE, Wash., Nov. 6 (Special.)
The Republican Congressional ana judi
cial tickets have carried Washington by
majorities that will run clos to 20,000.
This la a remarkable showing. In view of
the fact that the vote cast will run 50 to
65 per cent of that returned two years
ago. Both parties, though, seem to have
suffered almost equally. The Socialist
alone kept up a good showing of strength.
Coupled with the election of the Con
gressional and Judicial tickets is the cer
tainty that Republicans will not lose
if ore than nine or ten members of the
Legislature. Two of these may have been
lost In Kings County and the rest are
scattered. Complete returns from Pierce
and Spokane counties Indicate both of
them are likely to lose one Republican
member apiece, and tile Republican State
Committee at midnight estimates that the
Democrats are likely to elect a total of
ten. County tickets In Western Washing
ton were uniformly successful.
Because of the scattered precincts and
the hard fight made, definite returns will
not be available from Jefferson for a day
or two. But reports from Snohomish,
Island, Pierce, King, Kitsap, Thurston,
Chehalia, Cowlitz and Clallam show the
complete Republican county tickets were
elected. No matter which of the San
Juan County factions wins out, the ticket
will be Republican, for the entire fight is
between Republican factions.
Rain Keeps City Voters at Home.
The heavy falling off in the total vote
feared by Republican managers to Indi
cate the defeat of their tickets was due
as much in Western Washington to a
heavy rain storm that prevailed through
out the day as It was to apathy, that has
been apparent throughout the campaign.
All through Western Washington severe
storms prevailed, but It Is a singular fact
that the farmer vote was less daunted by
the Inclement weather than the city resi
dents. The county shows a better proportion
of its strength In the returns than do the
city districts, where comparatively lltil
inconvenience would have been suffered
had the voter3 gotten out.
Congressman W. L. Jones was not hurt
at all by the threat of revenge made by
Samuel Gompcrs on behalf of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor. In the strong
est labor districts he runs with Congress
men Humphrey and Cushman, and sym
pathy with Jones in the fight that was
made on him has given him extra
strength in the residence districts of the
business and professional men and office
employes. Reports tonight from Eastern
Washington indicate that Jones may lead
the Congressional ticket when all totals
are received.
Justices Run Behind Ticket.
Justices Crow and Root have been cut
slightly, and the Judicial ticket as a whole
runs behind the Congressional candidates.
Crow and Root felt slightly a labor at
tack made upon them, and they lacked
the prestige of Wallace Mount and R. O.
Dunbar, who had four eectra years of
service on the bench to their credit.
The estimate of 20,000 plurality for the
Congressional ticket, made tonight by
the Republican State Committee and veri
fied by newspaper reports, will not be
fully realized by the Judicial ticket. The
Supreme Court nominees will not run
much behind.
In King County, where an alliance was
made between the Democrats and labor
organizations. Republican managers ex
pected a stiff fight, and during the last
few days of the campaign have been fear
ful that they might lose one or two
county candidates and at least two Sen
atorial nominees. The labor fight did not
show the strength that was anticipated.
Entire Ticket Elected in King.
Instead of losing any county nominees,
the entire King County Republican ticket
is elected. All the nominees for State
Senator have been elected, unless D. M.
Williams or Joseph Lyons may be beaten.
Incomplete returns indicate that Williams
will pull through, but Lyons' fight will be
in doubt until the full vote is counted,
and that will not be completed until some
time tomorrow morning. If Lyons Is
beaten. Henry Beck, candidate for State
Representative, is also lost.
Significant of the King County fight is
the fact that George U. Piper, beaten
four years ago by Mayor William Hick
man Moore, won out by a majority now
closely estimated to be 108. He had a
splendid organization for his fight, and
won In the residence precincts of his dls
trct. The Interests that fought Ploer
four years ago supported him this year.
Despite this fact, he was bitterly de
nounced by the newspapers, and his vic
tory is a personal vote of confidence.
State Senator W. G. Potts wins out
over much the same odds In the strong
est labor district of the county.
, Revenge of Millmen.
Curiously enough, the hardest Pierce
County Jight was In the Twenty-sixth
District, which E. D. Hamilton repre
sented In the upper house during his
lifetime. Though the Republican man
agers claim the election of Ralph Met
calfe, a full count will be necessary to
satisfy Ernest Lister s friends that he
has not a chance. If the cut on Met
calfe is traced down, it would not be
surprising to find that the mill em
ployes had rounded on him.
Metcalfe was in the front of the fight
of the shingle manufacturers against
the Weavers' ITnlon last Summer and
the manufacturers finally succeeded in
disrupting the organization. There are
more than a dozen mills In Metcalfe's
district and the vote of the ex-union
men. if it could be traced, might be
expected to be found against him.
Then. too. Metcalfe handled the unsuc
cessful candidacy of R. L. McCormick
for Mayor of Tacoma last Spring and
there is left a healthy trace, of anti
McCormlck feeling.
The district is so scattered that the
meager returns indicating the election
of John L. Blair for joint Senator In the
24th district cannot be accepted. The dis
trict .comprises Clallam, Jefferson and
San Juan Counties and there Is not a
tingle county in the three that has ade
quate transportation or telephone facili
ties. The precincts are all widely scattered.
In fact, -there are precincts in Jefferson
that must report to the county seat by
way of Aberdeen and a trip through Che
halls. Mason. Thurston. Pierce and King
Counties before Port Townsend is reach
ed. It will be days before the report is
received.
San Juan is a group of islands and Clal
lam is cut in two by a mountain range.
So meager first reports do not necessarily
mean much, especially as this was a
three-cornered and exceedingly bitter
fight.
Mason County, though it went 300 for
the Congressional and Judicial tickets,
lost three Republican officers, including
the County Attorney. Beach was unop
posed for the Legislature.
Republicans expected to lose at least
one member of the House from Skagit
County, for the Democrats were making
an aggressive fight for two places. But
reports up to 12:30 o'clock indicate that
the Skagit County Republican ticket, with
the possible exception of one County
Commissioner, has been elected.
Whatcom county elected the entire Re
publican county and legislative tickets. J.
W. Romalne. who was substituted for J.
J. Neethe on the legislative ticket at the
last moment, pulled through by a plur
ality of over 70 votes.
The Schultz. or Independent Republican
ticket, in San Juan county, carried every
precinct in the county against John 9.
McMillin's regular Republican ticket.
Schultz even swept Roach Harbor, where

VAX AUKER SUES FOR DAMAGES
t
Ex-Cashier of Rainier Wants $25,-
000 for False Arrest.
RAINIER. Or.. Nov. - 6. C. S. Van
Auker, of this place, has brought suit
against the National Surety Company
and George Allen, its president, to re
cover $25,000 damages for false arrest
and imprisonment In connection with
the robbery of the State Bank of Rai
nier. The robbery occurred on Labor
Day, and' Van Auker was arrestee sex--erai
weeks afterward, charged with
having put : p the Job to conceal the
fact that he was a defaulter. On his
preliminary examination before the
Justice of the Peace at Rainier the ex
amination failed to make a sufficient
showing in the opinion of the Justice
to warrant his' being bound over to
await the action of the grand jury.
Opinion as to Van Auker's guilt or in
nocence has always been divided. The
greatest factor in creating an impres
sion of his gull', has been the knowl
edge that he frequented the gambling
table at Astoria and elsewhere, and
were it not for this fact the belief in
his innocence would be very general,
as prior to the robbery the people of
this community had the utmost confi
dence in his probity. He appeared like
WHERE HEARST WENT IN AND WHERE HE CAME OUT
McMillin's lime works are located, by a
majority of five. He pulled his entire
county ticket through with him.
This victory of Schultz in San Juan
County is the outcome of bitter quarrel
between the Henry Cowell and John S.
McMillin Interests over the control of the
Tacoma and Roach Harbor lime quarries.
Schultz was a former employe of
McMillin, but quarreled and left him.. He
has lead a local fight against McMillin
to break his political power in San Juan
County.
Schultz and McMillin had personal in
vestments together that led to their
break. In an effort to beat Schultz. Mc
Millin nominated Gene Gould, of Friday
Harbor, as representative. Gould is a
banker who has differed with McMillin
in the past but was taken up because he
could bring in new strength.
McMillin took half a dozen state speak
ers Into San Juan County to help him and
stumped the county himself. He feared
losing the county would injure his stand
ing as State Railroad Commissioner, a
political appointment.
KALAMA KEEPS COCXTY SEAT
Results in the County Ticket in Cow
litz Are Mixed.
CASTLE ROCK. Wash., Nov. 7. (Spe
cial.) Returns from the different pre
cincts in Cowlitz county indicate that a
mixed ticket has been elected, owing to
antagonism of members of the county
and state central committees and the split
on the county question. The only Re
publicans that at this hour, 1 A. M., seem
sure of election are: Representative
Kirby. Sheriff Wood and Bell for Sur
veyor. As to removal of the county seat
the indications are that Kalaraa will re
tain her hold.
Miss Burcham. the Democratic candi
date for Superintendent of Schools,
seems to have defeated W. O. Powell, the
Republican nominee, by an overwhelming
majority. Most of the other candidates
are running pretty close and the result
will probably not be known until some
time today, Wednesday. The indications
now are that a number of Democrats
have been successful.
COUNTY SEAT VOTE IX OUBT
Poison Wins by "Big Majority in Che-
halis County.
ABERDEEN, Wash'., Nov. 6. (Special.)
Owing to a terrific lainstorm, which
raged all day. the vote in Chehalis County
will be much lishter than the register.
The county seat removal proposition is
probably defeated. pJthough the vote
against it in this city was lees than 10
per cent of the total vote cast. The total
vote in the city shows a loss of about 400
from that of the registration. If Hoquiam
vote for county seat removal is anything
like Aberdeen, the chances may be about
an even thing, but Hoquiam's vote is
reported much less than expected for re
moval. Montesano and the eastern part
of the county went ajmost solidly against
removal.
As to the county ticket, it is believed
Peter Clark. Democratic nominee for Au
ditor, is elected. He is one of the most
popular men in the county, and has eerved
Eeveral terms as city clerk. James Bowes,
Democratic candidate for Sheriff, may
also pull through.
The rest of the Republican ticket is con
sidered reasonably safe, while Alexander
Poison, candidate for State Senator on the
Republican ticket, has swept the county,
having made the greatest run ofdjny can
ton
didate for similar place in the mty.
Democrats Get Two Offices.
CHEHALIS. Wash., Nov. 6. (Special.)
The Republican Congressional candidates'

Indications are for a close contest between
McCoy and Startup. The rest of the
county ticket safely is Republican.
Storm Raging in Chehalis County.
TACOMA. Nov. 6 Specials to the News
report a terrific storm raging at Aber
deen and all along the' Coast. Ranchers
will be unable to get to the polls. In
Chehalis County it is claimed that this
will insure the success of the scheme to
remove the county seat from Montesano
to Gray' Haxbou
San Francisco, which was expected to
give Bell a big vote, will probably give
Gillett about 10CO majority, while in Los
Angeles, normally a heavy Republican
city, the vote between Gillett and Bell
was comparatively close. -
For Congress it is certain that
Knowland. Republican, in the Third Dis
trict, is re-elected; also Kahn, Repub
lican, in the Fifth, and Smith, Republic

Eighth and Second Districts, are prob
ably elected It is very probable that all
the eight California Republican Congress
men will be elected. The Legislature will
be Republican, but there is no United
States Senator to be elected this year.
In spite of the bitter feeling engendered
by recent developments in San Francisco,
the election here was unusually quiet. At
the Democratic headquarters it was said:
"We have practically no reports at all
from the state. One report received by
telephone stated that Bell ran ahead of
Gillett in Los Angeles: also a report of a
landslide for Bell in Fresno County. WTe
cannot confirm the figures. Gillett car
ries San Francisco by 500 to 600."
a man of no bad habits, and had made
many warm .riends.
After his acquittal Van Auker
strengthened the belief in his inno
cence by going to work in the Reed
mill as a laborer.
The suit is brought in the United
States Circuit Court, and will come up
at the January term, D. J. Haynes. of
Portland, being counsel for Van Auker.
Van Auker has thrown up his job at
the mill, and taken the morning train
today for Port'.and.

Republican Chairman Says Only
Question of Election Is Majority.
SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 6. At 9 o'clock
tonight General George Stone, chairman
of the Republican state central com
mittee, said to the Associated Press:
"Reports from the state are coming in
very slow. There Is no dtoubt as to the
result, it is only a question of plurality.
Gillett has carried San Francisco by a
plurality of 500 to 1000, and the entire
Republican state ticket. Including eight
Congressmen, has been elected by a
plurality exceeding 25,000."
Representatives of the Union Labor
Party concede Gillett's election.
Democrats Are Hopeful.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 6 Timothy
Spellacy, chairman of the Democratic
State Central Committee, said tonight:
"We don't concede Gillett's election. Al
though our reports are meager, it looks
good for Bell. If Gillett comes to: the
Techapl Mountains with but 7000 plurality,
as claimed by the Republicans, Bell has
been elected. We concede San Francisco
to Gillett by 600. Reports from several
sources indicate a close vote in Los An
geles." Spellacy ridiculed the Republican claims
of 15,000 plurality for Gillett in Los Angeles.
Bell Given a Surprise.
SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 6 The Indica
tions at 8 o'clock are that Gillett, Repub
lican, for Governor, has carried this city
by a small majority. The State Commit
tee has conceded this city to Bell. Demo
cratic, by 2000. Meager "returns from the
Interior show that Gillett is running
strong in places that were thought to be
overwhelmingly for Bell.
Sacramento Favored Bell.

v How many times have you sat down
at your meals absolutely disgusted at the
thought or sight of anything to eat?
How many times have you sat down
at your meals without the trace of an
appetite, but Just because it was "time
to eat?"
How many times have you felt a gnaw
ing, unsatisfied "still-hungry" feeling in
your stomach, even after you were
through eating?
How many times have you felt that,
"lump of lead" on your stomach after
eating, whether your meal was well
cooked or not? ,
And how many times have you suffered
a whole lot of other things from your
stomach that you couldn't explain, but
that made you grouchy, miserable, ou't-o'-sorts
and generally sour on everybody
and everything?
It is safe to say that you couldn't tell.
You don't keep track of those things,
of course, but you know you've suffered
them. Tou probably have had them for
so long that they've become a habit with
you, and you have come to the conclusion
that your fate is to suffer them indefi
nitely and perhaps forever.
And so men, much like horses, stand
ing unhltctfed at the hitching post, think
they're tired, and so their habit makes
them prisoners.
But no one need have dyspepsia, nor
indigestion, nor loss of appetite, brash
Irritation, burning sensations, heartburn,
nausea, eructations, bad memory, loss of
vim and vigor and the happiness that
comes from a healthy stomach and a
good appetite if he will only leave his
old hitching post and tie himself to a
new one. one that will hold him to health,
Joy. ambition and a clear mind and
memory, and the sunshine that goes with
them.
That indeed is Heaven! And you can
get it in a little tablet already prepared
for the purpose, in Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, those little cherubs of health and
delight found in thousands of homes to
day. Listen one Ingredient of one of
these precious little tablets will digest
for you 3000 grains of food.
This relieves your stomach of the work
of digesting until your stomach can get
strong and healthy again. Your stomach
has been overworked and abused. It's
fagged out. It needs a rest.
Let Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do the
work of your stomach. Tou will be sur
prised how fine you feel after eating and
how lusciously good everything will taste
to you. That's because the Tablets are
thoroughly digesting the food which your
stomach couldn't digest before.
Have these tablets on your dining table
and take one or two after every meal
aithout fail. Then you will realize as
never before that the human stomach
decides for every man whether he will
go forward or backward and besides,
you'll forget you ever had a stomach to
torment you. . f

Find Relics of Confederacy.
Memphis Commercial-Appeal.
Workmen remodeling the Messick build
ing, at the corner of Second and Madison
streets, which is soon to be occupied by
the Sazerac Cafe, have just come upon
some Interesting relics of the Confederacy
in the shape of two ancient guns and a
revolver. The firearms were discovered in
the fourth story of the building, between
the ceiling and roof.
The three weapons discovered are in a
remarkable state of preservation, consid
ering the time that they have lain unused.
The guns were singularly free from rust,
and the bricklayer who found and con
fiscated the revolver believes that it is still
good for muc. service.
The guns are undoubtedly relics of the
Confederacy. One, a musket, bears the
legend "Harper's Ferry. 1S33." on its
stock. The other is a carbine, such as
was carried by the Confederate cavalry
during the Civil War. General George V.
Gordon, who happened along shortly after
the firearms were found, disclosed an In
teresting bit of local nlstory In accounting
for the presence of the guns In the build
ing. He says that this building was used
as a meeting place by the disbanded sol
diers of the Confederate army during the
reconstruction days. Fearing detection,
he thinks that these and probably ouier
firearms, since removed, were concealed
In the building.
The building where the old firearms were
found belongs to the estate of Willlaa
Messick. who died In 18S9. Mr. Messtci
was a soldier in the Confederacy, havlni
served under General Breckinridge, and
the guns probably belonged to him ani
were stored, away In the building dtfrlnj
his lifetime. His children, who btt-;v(
mm. still own the building and,- assert
claim to the weapons.
