Ap parently the result depends on California, West Virginia, Minnesota and New Mexico. If West Virginia remains in the democratic column Wilson can lose either of the other two and still be elected. Or with these two can lose West Virginia and yet win out. It has beert demon strated time and time again that an American election is never over until the votes are all counted, and then some- liSo until tomorrow it will probably not be known to a certainty who is elected. At this writing it looks as though there was very little chance for Hughes. Wilson has a good lead in California while Minnesota and New M-fnl However whatever tne resuns nay u tnc uun.uB THE INSUFFERABLE COCKNEY ,i u p,n,inf Wilson is one of the marvels of Amer ican politics. Starting into the contest with more than two million majority in the ranks of his opponents he-has wracticallv overcome that tremendous odds, ami he has done it without berating his opponents or indulging as some of those opponents have, in a tirade of personal u fw u7nniH make a London fishwoman's tongue lashing seem like a Sunday school lesson in comparison. He hal made a clean fight and whether he wins or loses is a gentleman still. Can this be said of the ex-president with the effervescing mouth who turned it into a sewer for foul language? The gentleman whom the London press expected to "get an important post" under Mr. Hughes had the latter been elected. If the democrats win this time they can congratulate themselves that they did so without the assistance of Tammany and New York,' That bunch and state have considered heretofore that no national election could be fnreot the west had grown up, and was big enough to do things, and the lesson they have recerved will go far toward reducing the swelling that :!j a n;,- v,nth.nnrls It, was reuorted some weeks ago that Tammany intended to throw the party down and the story apparently was true. Among the features of the election is the re-election i ,in,nvnfif indo-pa in strone republican dis- tricts. W. L.

In Marion county wm. uai u way democrat, on the bench for many years, was feated by Geo. G. Bingham, republican. It is rather unsafe for foreigners to monkey with American politics and especially so when they do the monkeying before- they are sure they are right. The big London papers taking the dispatch sent them to the ef fect that Hughes was elected, as being final, began in their usual sycophantic way to slobber over the man they thought was elected, and in order to curry favor with him abused his competitor whom they thought was down and out. The Evening Standard slurred the president in a dirty wav saving: "The whole world believes the United States reioices in Wilson's defeat. Now the belligerent nations know what the United States will say or do under Mr. Hughes, and diplomatic notes will become something more than raw material for humorous papers. The Evening News" says: "Great Britain can unre servedly congratulate Americans, and especially Colonel Roosevelt who stood ud boldly for the allied cause. It is understood he might get an important post." This should make interesting reading for the Germans of this coun try who espoused the Hughes cause. It shows them what England thinks of the man most of them supported and his henchman Roosevelt, "who stood up boldly for theiJ;io',;.1j allied cause." It would be according to the eternal fitness of things for this government to reply in. kind by giving. England a sample of what it could do in bringing the insufferable Londoner to taw and making him play square in his dealings with this country. President Wilson has been lenient with England, too lenient, and since the friend ship of this country has brought in return nothing but sneers from -the' contemptible lickspittle English news papers it should refuse to longer extend that friendship to those who do not appreciate it. Of course President Wilson cannot and will not allow his personal feelings to alter the course he has mapped . . - ,. -r 1 T 11 . ?J1 - i1 I out for his dealings witn jonnny tfuii or wnn any ouier country, and will go on maintaining a strict neutrality as to all the warring nations. Whether President Wilson is re-elected or not, he is America's president until his successor is inducted into office, and as such is entitled to the respect of the balance of the world. Uhe kngiisn press did not injure President Wilson tut it aroused in the minds of millions of Americans a feeling of contempt and a spirit of bitterness toward the whole big-headed nation. Here in America we claim the right to abuse one an other, especially at election times, on the principle that every man can kick his own dog. At the same time we recognize the fact that no one else-can kick that same dog, not without breeding trouble. s Northern to , Receive the Docks The great Northern Pacific line has lifted his embargo on most eargo and I executives hope to handle .all except ; lumber, shingles and grains on the ; Northern Pacific Saturday. The North-1 em Pacific took the last of delayed shipments, 1,S00 tons, at Flavul Tues- j day. W. D. Skinner, traffic manager, said yesterday that because of the embargo thero were about 700 tons of freight stored on the North Bank dock here, i and plans were under way to shift that to navel, and the only drawback re maining is to obtain sufficient cars to transport shipments to Flavel. V. I). Wells, J'ortlanU agent tor tue 8au Francisco & Portland line, operat ing the eteaineis Rose City and Beaver, said yesterday that while the company had not raised its embargo, which first went into effect Saturday on potatoes, onions, . apples and such perishables, being tightened luter to include bulky comomdities, he was hopeful that with the .sailing of the Rose City Satuwlny and that of the Beaver next week, the situation would be so improved the movement might again become normal. The congestion exists only on south bound comoinilities, there being a free and unrestricted movement from Cali- faer most steamers h space to spare. The outside vessels, which load lumber here for the south, handle some ship ments this way, and that serves to cut down some of the trade o'f the regular lines, though there is no general cargo being delivered here by the lumber fleet at present. The North Pacific line had the steamer Breakwater out last night nnd, whilo she carried San Francisco con signments, there was also freight for llarshfield and Eureka; The coming of the steamer Windber next week, un der charter to the Olnge Grain & Hill ing company, will help'thut concern to some extent, but her cargo will not greatly relieve the demand for cereal in the south.

Ore., Nov. 8. Freight train No- 2u."i of the Tillamook division of the Southern Pacific -struck a light automobile driven by J. S. Wellington, editor of the Bay City Kxaminer, this morning shortly after 9 o'clock, killing Wellington and injuring C. A. Doty, of Bay City, who was a passenger in the car. The" accident occurred at Kodads Crossing, three miles north of this city. Mr. Wellington wag returning to Bay City 'from Tillamook; having spent most of the night here watching election re turns. Members of the truin crew say that he was driving at a fast rate when his .machine arrived at tho track. His view of the approaching train was obstructed by a small hill at the crossing aud it is thought that tne uoiso of the auto engine prevented him from hearing the train's whistle. The machine was dragged more thnu 500 feet. Trainmen say that both Welling ton and Doty succeeded in grasping the pilot of the engine, but that Wellington lost his grip.

Jt tne vesiorn iiipi com - A correspondent at Claxtar writes: "The Midnight Extra issued by the Capital Joumal and personally de livered by Station Agent Newton at an early hour this morning made a great hit with Claxtantes. This is a Democrat stronghold, but whatever the election returns Claxtar appreciated the extraordinary newspaper serv ice. Quinaby, Waconda and other pionts down the line were equally anxious over returns." From the hilarious appearance of the G. O. P. elephant as depicted in the Oregonian Wednesday it is fair to pre sume he had laid in a supply at Hornbrook for a celebra tion of a victory. Perhaps today the premature old animal may not feel so gay, and may be realizing the counter feeling that comes in the cold gray dawn of the . morning after.

The nugry tears filled my eyes as I remembered the short, curt message. I never had been m a big hotel alone before, and was a bit frightened as well as angry. But I was young and healthy, nnd when after a while I heard the strains of a two-step I determined to go down to my dinner. "They won't eat me!" I muttered, as I stood in the dining-room door wait ing to be assigned a table. "Table for ouet" the head waiter asked; aud as I nodded, "right .this wav. Miss." he added, then led the-way to a table on the opposite side of the room; a small table -set up against the wall. t I ordered a good dinner. It would take some time to prepare, also some time to eat, so helping to pas the even inr. While I sat waitiug I looked around at the people, and soon became so interested that I forgot to be lonely, forgot to re.-ent the unceremonious way Clifford had left me. But after my din ner had been served, and the waiter had left me, I felt all the st-angeness, the loneliness, creeping back upon me. ine: A LOVELY EVENING all came to me Clifford's telephone message, my lonely dinner, and my cry ing because of it- I jumped up aud looked at my watch. It was 2 o 'clock. v Waiting for Clifford. I hurriedly undressed, and shook out the wrinkles in my clothes, then hung them where the air would blow on them. I didn't wunt Clifford to know I had been so foolish. Then I bathed my lace and jumped into bed. But this time I could not sleep; although I pretended I was, when, at about S o'clock, Clifford came in. He fell over a chair and scarcely up-i-ressed an oath. I ventured to open my ! ri n little v-vi and saw ha waa nnra- iug his foot where he had struck a rock er. I closed them quickly again as he glanced toward the bad, and in a few minutes he turned off the lights. It was 7 o'clock when I awoke, and Clif ford was sleeping soundly. What should I do about waking himt If I didn't call him and he,' for any reason, wished to get out early he would be angry. Arid if he wished to sleep and I disturbed him, he would also be put out- While I was hesitating the room telephone rang, and the operator told I scarcely tasted my dinner, aud nur- ried from the dining-room. I jhrew my self on the bed, all dressed as I was, and cried myself to sleep. When I awoke I could not remember where I was nor how I happened to be asleep in an evening dress. Then it "Eight o'clock, sir!" "Very well," I answered, and then turned to the bed and wakened Clif ford who had slept soundly thorugh all the noise. Clifford Is Untruthful "The boy has just called you," IJ said to him when I had succeeded in waking him. - "All right, I'll get up in a minute," and very soon I heard him splashing in : the bathroom. "Call a boy and give him an order for breakfast. Tell him I'll be down in ' 15 minutes," he called to me. "Have. . it all ready." "But I can't possibly be ready in IS , minutes," I replied. 1 "Who said anything about yonl You've got all day to eat breakfast in. I Call the boy and tell him what I tolA you to." "But Clifford," I asked after I had called a boy,1" can't we have breakfast -up here! Then I won't have to eat alone. Yon know I was alone for din- . ner." "No! I hate to eat in my room- Oa ' down when you are ready."' I gave the order to "the boy, then ' tried to hurry my own toilet. Perhaps I could get downstairs before Clifford had finished. -He looked very tired and I told bins. . so. He answered me peevishly that he had reason to look tired. -"What time did you come int" I - asked. "About 1 o'clock. Yon were sound asleep I'm glad you are getting sen sible." he added, after telling me the untruth. (Tomorrow Mildred Has An Adven ture.)
