CHICAGO. Nov. S. (Special.) Prohi
bition was an issue in" eight states
Tuesday. The drys won with state
wide amendments in tour states South
Dakota, Nebraska,, Montana and Mich
igan and claim ' a fifth. Missouri.
Maryland defeated state-wide prohibi
tion and California is believed to have
turned down both completely dry and
liquor restriction amendments to the
constitution.
If Missouri has voted prohibition
half the states in the linion are in the
dry column. 19 having previously ban
ished liquor.
Alaska, scattering returns indicated.
Joined the dry column. A "beer" prop
osition in Colorado, to partly lift the
J id, was defeated. So was a similar
bill ia Oregon which also voted on a
"bone dry" amendment, whose fate is
in doubt.
Arkansas voted to remain dry.
A Kansas City dispatch says: "The
result" of voting on state-wide prohi
bition apparently was a toss-up as far
as Jackson County was concerned.
With 231 precincts heard from, the
amendment polled 22,185 votes, as com
pared vrlth 29.185 east against it. Dry
advocates declared that, with the situ
ation in Kansas City a stand-off, the
rural districts would be given an op
portunity to counterbalance the heavy
vote cast in St. Louis."
George M. McDowell, legislative man
ager of the United California Indus
tries, claimed that prohibitjon amend
ment No. 2, on the face of partial re
turns from BOO precincts in Northern
California, had been lost by a majority
of approximately 100,000 votes.
Arkansas voters retained prohibition
by a vote of three to one against the
proposal to repeal the state-wic pro
hibition law. it was indicated by incom
plete returns. These, however, came
from the larger cities, where prohlbl
, tion workers said the local option force
expected to poll their greatest strength.
The sweeping victory of thj prohibi
tion forces in Michigan was emphasized
by today's returns. The majority for
the state-wide prohibition amendment
was more than 60,000, and a similar
majority recorded against the home
rule amendment.
DRYS LOSE IX CAMFORXIA
Defeat of Both Amendments Indi
cated by Returns.
BAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 8. The de
feat of the two "dry" amendments was
forecast in California late tonight,
when the vote from 4834 precincts out
of 5917 gave: ,
For prohibition, 324.4S2; against,
440,699.
For liquor restriction, 335,534; against,
897,448.
Amendment No. 1 for prohibition has
not seemed at any time to be a. winner.
Arkansas Stays Dry Decisively.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Nov. 8. This
state remained "dry" by an over
whelming majority of the vote cast in
Tuesday's election. The proposed initi
ative act to substitute local option for
the present state-wide prohibition was
defeated by probably 20,000, on the
face of incomplete returns available to
night. Drys Carry Alaska.
SEATTLE, Nov. 8. Prohibition has
carried in Alaska by a large majority.
Gastineau, the first of the mining pre
cincts of the Juneau district to re
port, gave 1566 votes for prohibition,
85 against.

but incomplete earlier in the day, def
initely turned into the Republican
column.
The Democrats in New Hampshire,
however, threaten a contest and said
a full recount would be demanded.
Few States May Decide.
The result may depend on two or
three states. Wilson's present total
of 251 would be increased to above
the necessary 266 if he won California
or Minnesota and either one of the
two smaller state of New Mexico and
f North Dakota, unless he should lose
t one vote in Washington, owing to the
death of an elector there, in which
event Minnesota and New Mexico
would not be enough.
Mr. Hughes, with 247 on the face
of present returns, will require either
( the two larger states of California
and Minnesota or one. of them and
I both the smaller states.

watchers tonight at headquarters of
both Democratic and Republican Na
tional committees. Bulletins from
states in which the results are still
in doubt were scanned even more eag
erly than they were last night.
Both Chairman Vance C. McCor
mick, for the Democrats, and William
R. Willcox, for the Republicans, pro
fessed undiminished confidence in the
outcome. The former was somewhat
more explicit in his claims, but the
latter declared, after dining with
Charles E. Hughes, that he agreed
with him that the Republicans had
been successful.
Only Fair Dealing Asked.
"We ask only what is fair," declared
Mr. Willcox. "We want only what
we are entitled to and that we propose
to have."
Earlier in the day Mr. McCormick
had announced that he had sent tele
grams to state and county chairmen
in doubtful 6tates, directing them to
Keep careiul guard over tne ballot
boxes and their contents.
Attorney-General Gregory visited
Democratic headquarters and was
closeted with the chairman, but it was
asserted his visit was or no special
significance.- Later in the afternoon
Mr. McCormick conferred with John
B. Stanchfield and Delancey Nicoll,
prominent Democratic lawyers.

NEW YORK. Nov. 9. Although the

the Senate by a working majority, con

an early hour today. The Democrats

count would be necessary in states
where the margin of apparent victory
for one. Presidential candidate or the
other is slight, was freely tdiscussed
at both headquarters. It was pointed
out that if the House of Representa
tives became the court of last resort
in the election of a President, the
present House and not the one elected
yesterday would sit in judgment. No
formal statement on the subject was
made, however.
Leaders of both parties in all parts
of the country, especially in the West,
were in constant touch by telegraph
and telephone with headquarters in
this city. They sought information
imparted such, news as they had and
were given instructions, if any were
required.
Wilson Men Celebrate.
Apparently the rank and file of
Wilson adherents, who had no oppor
tunity to celebrate last night, were
determined to make up tonight for
what they had missed. A crowd of
such proportions that it blocked traf
fic for blocks in Forty-second street
gathered in front of Democratic head
quarters. Two bands joined forces in
playing "The Star-Spangled Banner"
and all kinds of noise-making imple
ments were used enthusiastically. The
crowd announced its intention of pa
rading all over the city.'
Crowds gathered in front of news
paper offices, scanning the bulletins
posted and again watching the towers
from which searchlights had flashed
last night the supposed result of the
election, in the evident expectation
that additional signals would be dis
played.
Willcox Sees 2S0 Totes.
Chairman Willcox Issued the follow
ing statement at midnight:
"The returns xrora states in which the
vote is close are coming in slowly. The
delay appears to be caused by the time
required to get in reports from rural
communities. The latest returns clear
ly indicate that Minnesota, North Da
kota, New Mexico, Oregon and probab
ly California have gone for Hughes.
These, added to the states already cer
tain, give him 2S0 electoral votes.
DOLLAR DAY IS FRIDAY.
The women's committee of
Portland for the Armenian re
lief has sent out the following
appeal: v
"Women of Portland, do you
know that one dollar will keep
an Armenian child alive for a
month? Will you save one life?
Dollar day is your opportunity
Friday, November 10."
Even if all or some of the electoral
votes of California should go to Wil
son, there are still enough left to as
sure the election-of. Hughes.
Every precaution must be taken to
secure an honest count of the ballot
in every close state. Anybodv who
intimates that Charles Evans Hughes
would permit any man or group of
men to attempt to steal the Presidency
for him Is a contemptible scoundrel
nd Knows It.
"I say further, with a full aense of
responsibility to the American people,
that any man or group of men who at
tempt to steal the Presidency from
Hughes will do so at their periL".
McCormick Isanea Reply.
Chairman McCormick Issued the fol
lowing statement in reply to the on
made by Mr. Willcox:
"President Wilson is re-elected, and
Mr. Wilcox shows he is aware of that
fact. His wail in reply to the charge
of some imaginary .person that some
one expects Mr. Hughes or his man
agers will trv to secure the election
through" fraud is worthy of the best
traditions of the Republican party.
"The public has had a chance to
Judge the conduct of the campaigns of
the two candidates, and I am perfectly
willing to let the people decide which
side will be likely to resort to desper
publicans, 2 Progressives, 1 Socialist
and 1 Independent had been elected,
with 25 Congressional districts yet to
be heard from. Republicans did not
give up hope cf winning control.
The situation in the House at this
hour is so indefinite that it is im
possible to declare whether the Demo
crats will maintain control. If they do
it la certain to be by a greatly reduced
margin and one that will scarcely give
a good working majority. In fact, un
less Democratic gains are made In tne
districts yet undecided, independent
minority members might seriously in
terfere with the re-election of Speaker
Clark and the organization of im
portant committees.
Republicans Are ITopefnl.
Republican leaders are still hopeful
of controlling the House. If they suc
ceed Minority Leader Mann will be
their candidate for Speaker of the
House and Representative Forney, of
Michigan, will become the majority
leader and chairman of the ways and
means committee, succeeding Represen
tative Claude Kitchin, of North Caro
lina. Republicans have made Important
gains in Illinois and Wisconsin. Of the
Democrats defeated in Illinois are Bu
chanan, who is under indictment for al
leged conspiracy in connection with la
bor's peace council Involved in charges
of attempts to restrain trade in muni
tions. Other Illinois Democrats de
feated are Tavenner and Stone. In In
diana Cullop. Cllne and Gray lost their
seats. Konop and Burke, of Wiscon
sin; Taggart, of Kansas; Riordan and
Drlscoll, of New York, and Casey, of
Pennsylvania, were other Democrats
who lost their seats. Among well
known Republicans defeated are Beu
net. New York; Hopwood of Pennsyl
vania, and Matthews, Ohio, and Rob
erts, of Massachusetts.
The Senate will remain under Demo
cratic control by a reduced majority of
10 or 12, dependent on the outcome in
