Forces of Checkers Also Are Em
ployed in Each County to Fol
low Compilations- Resnlt
Will Determine Action.
BKH FRANCISCO, Nov. 12. (Spe
cial.) The official count of Califor
nia's vote In the Presidential election
will, begin tomorrow throughout the
etate. On the outcome of this tally
depends the action which the Repub
lican state central committee may take
toward a re-count
Accordingly the count will be
watched closely by representatives of
the etate central committee in every
county seat. Attorneys have been en
gaged and checkers employed to scru
tinize the1 count of every tally sheet.
Under the direction of the Republi
can state central committee, which has
urged each county chairman to ener
getio action, the county committees
have completed arrangements for the
count. In each connty the local com
mittee nominated an attorney to act as
legal adviser during the count and the
Btate central committee authorized his
employment. Forces of checkers were
engaged locally. Not a county has
failed to prepare.
Supervisors to Compile Returns.
Except In the case of San Francisco
and Los Angeles the count of the tally
sheets sent in by the precinct election
officers will be held before the Board
of Supervisors in each county. It is
the duty of the supervisors to compile
the returns from the tally sheets and
certify them officially to the Secre
tary of State.
In San Francisco city and county the
election returns are . handled by the
Election Commission, and in Los An
geles County by the Registrar of
Voters.
In San Francisco the count will begin
tomorrow morning in the rooms of the
Election Commission in the City Hall.
The -Republican State central commit
tee is to be represented continuously
during the progress of the tally by at
torneys and checkers.
Attorneys to Work; In Relays.
The attorneys are to work in relays,
each with his own force of checkers.
The moment one of the checkers finds
anything questionable about any of
the tally sheets or the count the law
yer is to go to the front asd make
the battle before the Commission.
The Republican State central com
mittee is still busy getting in figures
on the Individual vote on all electors.
Whether anything will develop from
this the committee says it does not
know yet. But according to Secretary
McAtee it has been found so far that
Mrs. Carrie L. Tyler, the last elector
on the Democratic ticket, was con
sistently scratched. This may work
out, said Secretary McAtee, far enough
so that the highest Republican elector,
who is supposed to be Carlston, may
prove to be a winner.
HUGHES AWAITS COUNT
WIUCOX SAYS PARTY'S POSITION
IS raCHAXGED.
Official Confirmation From California
Wanted Votes Properly Cast for
Wilson Not Begrudged.
NEW YORK. Nov. 12. Charles E.
Hughes and William R. Willcox, chair
man of the Republican National Com
mittee, plan to remain in New York
for a week or more to await the re
sult of the official count of the vote in
California, it was announced tonight.
Once the official count is finished, they
expect to take a vacation, Mr. Willcox
said. '
The National chairman called on Mr.
Hughes at- his hotel this afternoon
Later Mr. Willcox eaid:
"We are in the same position as we
have been since election night. We
want an official count in California to
assure the re-election of Mr. Wilson,
before we are willing to concede de
feat. Far be it for us to deprive Pres
ident Wilson of one single vote prop
erly cast for him."
A great many messages from all
parts of the country were received at
Republican headquarters. Mr. Wilicox
said many of them were "complaints
of every kind."

MANY DECISIONS DUE
IMPORTANT CASES UNDER ADVISE-
' MEST IN HIGH COURT.
Argument Set for This Week in Ap
peal to Determine Full Scope of
Mann "White slave" Act.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 12. Several de-
cisions urn PTnpotftd t n m nrm txt frnm
h.he Supreme Court. More than 80
cases are now under advisement and
to facilitate their decision the court
is expected to recess two weeks from
November 20 to December 4, over the,
Thanksgiving holiday.
Among- important casas scheduled for
argument this week before the court
are the so-called Diggs-Caminetti
"white salve" case, to determine wheth
er persons may be convicted under the
Mann act of 1910 for mere criminality
in personal escapades without elements
of commercialism or coercion. This
question is raised in appeals from con
viction or F. Drew Caminetti and
Maury I. Diggrs. of Sacramento, and I
T. Hayes, of Oklahoma City.
Another case set for hearing In the
course, of .the week raises constitution
ality of Iowa and Pennsylvania laws
prescribing the butterfat content of
Ice cream under the pure ice cream
statutes.
SEED CORN IS IMPORTANT
Good Sources Would Turn Failure
Into Success Cheaply.
WASHINGTON, D. C. Nov. 11. The
need of sources from which suitable
seed corn can be obtained in the semi
arid and Rocky Mountain regions is
great and is Increasing. 'Being a
sparsely-settled country, subject to ex
treme seasonal variations, seed of
Adapted varieties is much scarcer each
year than in sections where the corn
crop is more certain.
Nothing else would so cheaply turn
many corn failures into successes as
the establishment of good sources of I
seed corn. AVhile a knowledge of corn
breeding would be helpful, any farmer
can do much toward B.ipplying him
self and his neighborhood with better
seed . corn by starting with a well
tested variety and selecting the best
ears from the best stalks each year.
By so doing, natural selection assists
in weeding out the unfit. Where corn
is grown for grain there is no better
locality from which to obtain seed
than that in which it is to be
planted. Where grown for the silo or
for large stalk growth, seed may be
obtained to advantage from a more
southern locality or a lower altitude.
Farmers' bulletin 415 of the United
States Department of Agriculture,
which may be obtained free upon ap
plication, treats of tho selection and
care of seed corn.
A point of greatest importance is
that of holding over from good crops
sufficient seed corn for two or three
years' plantings. This Is essential in
the origination and perpetuation of
high-yielding varieties adapted to local
conditions. Seed corn that matures
well and dries out promptly without
injury will keep its good germinating
and yield UfcBT power for four or five
years. Seed corn of the best quality
car be always available by protecting
a sufficient quantity from moisture
and insects and otffer animals.

Section Have Been Re-eJeeted.
Chamberlain to Retain Post. -
OREGON! AN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, Nov. 12. Even though the Re
publicans may control and organize the
next House of Representatives, no Rep
resentative for the Northwest will suc
ceed to the chairmanship of any im
portant committee. The committee of
the next House will be organized under
the seniority rule, ana it so happens
that Republican members who outrank
the' Oregon, Washington and Idaho
members on their various committees
have been re-elected and therefore will
become chairmen of the committees of
which these Northwestern members are
members.
Representative Hawley Is third Re
publican member on the agricultural
committee, and both Republican mem
bers who outrank him havS been re
elected. Representative Sinnott moves
from-fourth to third place on the pub
lic lands committee. Only two re
elected Republicans outrank him, and
the same rule applies -to each of the
members from the Northwestern states.
In the Senate, Mrt Chamberlain will
retain the chairmanship of the mili
tary committee. Senator Lane . will
have his choice between his present
chairmanship of the committee on fish
eries or the committee on Coast de
fenses. The Washington and Idaho Senators,
being Republicans, are in line for no
important chairmanships.
