BITTER CAMPAIGN ENDED
Political Apathy in 3Ios States
Turned Into Fierce Partisan Ac
tivity by Wilson's Appeal.
NEW YORK, Nov. ,4. After conferring
with Frank H. Hitchcock. Charles D.
Hilles and William R. Willcox, for
mer National chairmen. Will H. Hays,
chairman of the Republican National
Committee, tonight issued the follow
ing statement:
"Last minute reports received to
night from every contested state con
firm our advices of yesterday that the
Republicans will carry both the Senate
and the House.
"To equal the Democratic vote in the
Senate the Republicans need to gain
only four votes. We shall gain at least
seven.
"To equal the Democratic vote In the
House of Representatives It will be
necessary to gain only five votes. We
6hall gain at least 26."
Final speeches and statements by
candidates and party managers brought
the campaign to a close in the East
ern States tonight. Both Democratic
and Republican leaders professed that
their candidates would win at the polls
tomorrow.
Wilson's Appeal Stirs Feeling.
The campaign, which began in
apathy, developed In its closing days in
most states into one-of the most bit
terly contested in years.
The chief issue has been the election
of United States Senators and Repre
sentatives. The appeal of President
WilBon for the return of a Democratic
Congress has been the storm center of
attack and counter-attack.
Democrats and Republicans were
claiming tonight they would gain seats
in Congress, but indications were that
the result would be close, except in
districts where one party or the other
normally has overwhelming majority.
In New York party leaders are "up
in the air," because women will vote
the first time, and there is no way of
knowing how they -will divide polit
ically. Whitman's Re-election Iredlcted.
The Republican state chairman pre
dicts Governor Whitman will be re
elected by at least 200,000. Democrats
were equally insistent Alfred E. Smith,
president of the New York City Board
of Aldermen, would be the victor, but
they did not claim so large a margin.
Contests for seats in the Senate have
occupied the voters in Massachusetts,
Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Dela
ware, New Jersey and West Virginia
While two Senators will be elected by
New Hampshire, the Democrats in that
state have centered their energies on
the election of John B. Jameson for
the two-years unexpired term of the
late Senator Gallinger.
In New Jersey, which also will elect
a "long" and a "short" term Senator,
woman suffragists, although they can
not vote, have joined forces with the
Democrats to defeat David Baird, who
seeks the short term.
Massachusetts Democrats profess to
be hopeful of electing former Gov
ernor David I. Walsh as successor to
Sonatnr Weeks, who is a candidate. The
contest in West Virginia between C. W.
Watson, a former United States Sena
tor, and Major Davis Elkins, Jr., eon
of a former Senator, is expected to be
close.
Prohibition Main Inane.
Prohibition is the chief issue of the
state campaigns in Pennsylvania and
Vermont. In the former state William
C. Sproul, candidate for Governor, is
running on a dry platform -while
Eugene C. Bonniwell, the Democratic
nominee, has been repudiated by some
of the party loaders on the ground that
he represents the liquor interests.
The Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor in Vermont has been indorsed
by the prohibitionsist while the Repub
licans are standing by local option.
Comparatively little interest has
been shown in the campaign in Con
necticut and Maryland. In these states
both parties have bent their energies
upon the Congressional contests.
CHICAGO, Nov. 4. Voters of the
Middle Western states were bombarded
with final arguments tonight as a
climax to the short but intensive cam
paigns which haveteen waged by can
didates for state and Federal offices
which will be decided at the polls to
morrow. In the Senatorial contests interest
generally centered in the Ford-Newberry
contest in Michigan, the McCor-mick-Lewis
race in Illinois, the attempt
of Governor Capper to supplant Sena
tor Thompson in the Kansas seat, the
race between former Governor Folk and
Judge S. P. Spencer in Missouri and the
Kenyon-Keyes struggle in Iowa.
Senators Who Are Sure oC Seats.
Senators Robinson of Arkansas and
Nelson of Minnesota are without major
party opposition for re-election, and
the re-election of Senator Sheppard of
Texas was conceded.

ATLANTA, Ga., Nov. 4. Senators will
be elected in all Southern states to
morrow, except Florida. In five states
Virginia, South Carolina, Arkansas,
Louisiana and Mississippi there is no
Republican opposition, and even where
Republican candidates are making con
tests there has been no particular in

Democratic leaders predict that the
South will return a solid Democratic
delegation to the Senate as heretofore.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 4. "Night-before-election"
rallies were noticeably
absent in most of the 11 Western states
tonight, and final newspaper advertise
ments today and those to be published
tomorrow morning wound up one of the
strangest political campaigns of his
Influenza Silences Oratory.
Spanish Influenza, traveling west
ward from Hs hotbed in New England,
swept the West as the campaigns were
being opened. A few preliminary speak
ing trips were made by some candi
dates, but a majority of them did not
make a platform speech.
Lack of "issues" also quieted the
usual "Congressional" year turmoil,
until the President's appeal for a Dem
ocratic Congress put spirit into the
partisan fights in some districts where
there was a good chance of successful
contests.
Nine United States Senators are to
be elected tomorrow in Colorado, Idaho,
Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon
and Wyoming. Thirty-three Represen
tatives are to be chosen in these seven
states and Arizona, California, Utah
and Washington. Delegates are to be
elected in the two Western territories,
Alaska and Hawaii.
Women played a large part In the
campaign. In all but Is ew Mexico and
Utah they were contenders for impor
tant offices. Representative Jeanette
Rankin, of Montana, and Miss Anne
Martin, of Nevada, are candidates for
the Unitetd States Senate.
Several Governors to Be Chosen.
All Western states except Montana,
Utah and Washington are to elect 43ov
ernors and full state tickets. Most of
the states have on their ballots various
legislative measures. Five states,
Washington, Utah and Colorado, al
ready dry, and California and Wyoming
have wet and dry measures at stake.
DRIVE ON FOR 35,000 MEN
RECRUITS URGEXTLY NEEDED
FOR LIMITED SERVICE.
Posts Will Be in This Country,
Releasing More Active Men
for Duty Overseas.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 4. A drive to
secure 35,000 volunteers from limited
service men, urgently needed to fill
special posts in the Army, was begun
today by the Department of Labor's
employment service at the request of
the War Department. The men are
wanted for duty in this country and
will be used to release more active men
for service overseas.
Only class 1-A registrants certified
for limited service will be taken. All
men volunteering will be inducted Into
the ranks as privates and promotion
to higher grades will depend on ability.
Branch offices of the employment serv-
ce and community labor boards over
the country will receive applications.
Some of the lines in which the
limited service men are needed and the
numbers wanted are:
Assemblers, 2000; chauffeurs, 6250;
clerks, 1102; cooks, 700; laborers, 3175;
mechanics, 4450; motorcycle drivers.
225; transmission men, 1500, and tire
repairers, 400. One newspaper man
and three motion-picture experts also
are wanted.

MOXEY USED, SAYS CUMMINGS
Democratic Committee Official Ac
cuses Republicans.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 4. In a final
pre-election statement tonight. Homer
S. Cummings, acting chairman of the
Democratic National Committee, said
that the people tomorrow would give
President Wilson the vote of confidence
he has asked.
"Efforts to swing the election away
from the Tresident by the lavish use
of money appears to constitute the
eleventh-hour programme of Repub
lican leaders." said Mr. Cummings.
"This conclusion is reached after
perusal of the statement just filed by
the Republican committees treasurer,
which shows for example an advance of
tlOO.OOO to United States Senator Will
iam M. Calder, of New York, on Octo
ber 31.
"The same statement sho-ws that J23,
000 was sent to T. Colman Du Pont at
Wilmington, Del., on October 29. with
S5000 more on October 30. Illinois.
"however, seems to be second to New
York, S34.000 having been advanced to
C. A. McCulloch, in Chicago, in four
days. Of this amount 13,ooo was
turned over to him on October 21. with
14.500 following on November 1.
"The vote of confidence President
Wilson has asked- of the American peo
pie will be given him at the polls Tues
day. Reports from every section of
the country, it is said today, plainly
indicate that the Nation is thoroughly
aroused to the necessity of sustaining
the President in this critical hour.
"The great qualities of leadership
shown by the President, now bearing
fruit in war-torn Lurope, are appreci
ated by the people of the United States.
They are willing to trust the President
to continue the policies that have
brought Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria and
Turkey to terms, stripped Germany of
her allies and which have sounded the
death knell of militarism and Kaiser-
ism.

AUSTRIA DOWN AND OUT
(Continued From Flrat Pare.)
final disposition of the territory in
volved is left to be settled at the peace
table.
Italian military officers here thrilled
with pride tonight over evidence of
final victory contained in the armis
tice programme.
"It is a triumph,' said General
Guglielmotti, military attache at the
Italian Embassy, "which hardly ten
days ago seemed far distant, but in
which Italy and her soldiers have al
ways had an unshakable faith, even
in the saddest moments of last year.
when they were compelled to give
way before the crushing superiority
of the German, Austrian, Bulgarian
and Turkish forces.
Three Causes Assigned.
"From a purely military point of
view three causes have, in my opinion,
especially contributed to the triumph
of today, the choice of the right mo
ment, the efficient direction of the
attacks and rapidity of execution.
"The happy successes of the allies
on the French front, the withdrawal
of Bulgaria and Turkey from the war
left Austria, although with forces
greatly superior, alone against us.
"The bad weather and .the snow had
already begun to make the movements
and the provisioning of the armies in
the mountain zone rather difficult.
The 'same- effect was produced in the
plains near the sea by the violent
rain which caused the streams to rise
and overflow the lowlands.
Attack Front Narrowed.
"Such conditions narrowed the Ital
ian front of attack and, if in a gen
eral way they favored the defense, in
the concrete case they made the at
tack easier because such difficulties
made it impossible for the enemy to
counter-attack successfully on our
flanks and gave us an opportunity to
concentrate greater forces In a nar
rower space.
"From the very first moment the
intention had been evident of dividing
the Austrian army in such a way as
to separate the mountain section from
that of the plains and possibly cut the
retreat of the Austrian troops.
"Hence the rapid and vigorous push
towards vlttorlo Veneto, Ponte Nelle
Alpi, Longarone, which promptly at-
tainea me iirsc aim. Hence the rapid
advance in Val Sugana, Grig-no and
Castelnuovo.
Swift Events Reeonnted.
"On October 24 the Initial bombard
ment waa begun. Today. November 4.
the Italian flag flew over the castle of
Trento and on the tower of Etguisto
and at Triest and at 3 P. M. the armis
tice became effective, the clauses of
which mean unconditional surrender of
the enemy.
"Against about 70 enemy divisions
have fought on Italian soil 66 Italian
divisions, three British divisions, one
French division, a regiment of Amer
ican infantry and the Czecho-Slovak
legion.
"Nor should the help given by our
brave allies to us be considered slight;
besides the intrinsic value of the units
which have fought side by side with
us, their presence has reaffirmed be
fore the enemy the unity of the aims
of all the allies on the Italian theater
as well as on all the other theaters
of the war."
AUSTRIA GIVES UP 261 SHIPS

Please note that the
business hours of this store are
from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Owing to mechanical difficulties in newspaper composing-rooms,
it was impossible for this store to state in its regular Sunday adver
tisement that it was complying with the request of the Mayor in
closing at 3:30.
In a separate advertisement in the front section of both Sunday
papers it was stated that this store's hours would be from 9 to 3 :30,
beginning yesterday.
It should be clearly understood
that this closing order is to relieve traffic
congestion in the evening
And it should also be understood that th order was not issued
at the instigation of any one store, but was the result of an open con
ference of all merchants, at which the suggestion of the Mayor
was indorsed.
The Mayor's order appeared. in an advertisement on page 6 of
yesterday's Oregonian. an extract from which is here quoted :
"The order requiring ttorea to close at 3:30 P.M. and the
release of employes at such time is made for the purpose of
preventing the usual congestion existing between the hours of
4 and 6:30 P. At."
As is usual, this store
can supply the necessities revealed
by all
emergencies
A store exists as it serves which means that to serve well, it must
adapt its service to the exigencies of all times.
The present communal condition tries out store service. So it is
that we have been able to supply all sorts of essential necessities, and
to do this without making it unsafe for anyone to shop for what they
need now.
It is easy to see that this big building with its windows on three
streets and its consequent air channels, its wide,- unobstructed
aisles, its spacious elevators is a safe, satisfactory place to shop.
For sanitaiy reasons this
store is strictly adhering to the "no
exchange or return " order
It is obvious that the greatest good to the greatest number can best
be gained by strictly adhering to the order of the State Council of
Defense, which temporarily discontinues the privilege of returning
and exchanging merchandise. While this order may seemingly be
severe, fair-minded people will appreciate the fact that we make
absolutely no exchanges, and thus protect them from any possible
contagion.

ROME, Nov. 4. Demonstrations by
the Roman public in celebration of
the victory over Austria-Hungary were
continued all through last night. This
morning the Jubilation was still In
progress.
The rejoicing crowds visited all the
allied embassies and the achievements
of the armies of the various nations
included in tha notable successes were
loudly cheered.
The ovation waa especially enthu
siastic outside the American Embassy
where Ambassador Page appeared on
the balcony and addressed the crowd.
A committee from tha demonstrators
was received by the Ambassador. They
asked him to convey to President Wil
son the gratitude of the 'people of
Rome and of Italy to America, and
to express their admiration for that
country's part in the struggle.
The 'Committee wished him to assure
the President that he could count on
the constant support of the Italian
nation for the triumph of his prin
ciples. WASHINGTON'. Nov. 4. News of the
acceptance by Austria-Hungary of the
armistice terms was received in ail
parts of Italy with great enthusiasm
and indescribable joy. Extra editions
of newspapers "were exhausted soon
after they were off the presses and
the Italian tri-color was floated above
almost every home.
An official dispatch from Rome to
day giving these details also said all
trains bound for the liberated districts
and the districts soon to be liberated
were crowded with refugees. Numer
ous officials are being commissioned
by the government to facilitate the re
turn of these people to their homes.
The Italian fleet and the allied units
operating in the Adriatic, the dispatch
says, were expected to occupy roia,
Cattaro and the other naval bases and
to take over the enemy fleet and sub
