ELECTION RETURN'S DOCTORED Russian Government Conceals Lib eral Victories to Influence Voters. ST. PETERSBURG. Jan. 29. It was learned tonight that the government news bureau is printing two sets of election bulletins. One is for secret distribution to officials, while the other Is for ptiollc circulation. Up to the present time the latter bulletins have not mentioned the election of a. single Constitutional Democratic. Social Dem ocratic, or Social Revolutionary candi date except arnnnjj the working; men; they refer only to monarchist and mod Crate candidates. The charge that the bulletins given to the public are colored to show Lib eral defeats apparently are Justified to a certain extent, but the opposition leaders now admit that Conservatives have been chosen in increased num bers in many provinces where the grov. ernmenfs agrarian measures and the dread of revolutionary disorders have swung a section of the peasantry into the Conservative camp. It will be impossible to get acourate returns of the elections before the re ceipt of independent reports by mail. The first returns of urban elections wer received today from Kaluga, and show Constitutional Demorratip sue cesses. The peasant elections continue in various provinces.

He said he believed n was time ior tne Government to play its strength against the lumber monopoly. Mnndpll of Wvomlnsr insisted that the Government should give some measure of relief to purchasers of lumber in the West. He said no one could deny that the forest reserve oolicy was a policy of paternalism and centralization "and a policy which should not be extended in this Nation further than is absolutely necessary. He proceeded: There must and there will be hardships and irritation incident to paternalism. We can not yet awav from them, and we of the "West object to having the reserves used as a means for the Increase of the cost of the products of the reserves to the people of that region. I do not intend . to criticize generally 'he Forest 8ervlce. I have the highest regard for the gentlemen at the head of that service.

"It is an out spoken statement as to where the objec tion to the bill is. Personally I .have profound resrard for the Speaker.

Crumpacker of Indiana made several points of order against certain portions of the bill, especially asralnst those which seemed to him to chansre the existing pure food law.
