NO. 2005.
CALIFORNIA STATE IS
ONE DECIDED ISSUE
SEATTLE, Nov. 0.—A MIDNIGHT
FLASH SAYS WILSON CARRIES
CALIFORNIA AND IS SURELY RE
ELECTED.
FARGO, Nov. 9.—Wilson is lead
ing at midnight with fourteen hund
red in North Dakota.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 9.—At
ten o’clock last night with 5681 pre
cincts counted and the rest repre
senting a small vote Wilson has the
very secure lead of 2326. His elec
tion seems certain.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 9.—Any
person before election could have
got four to one, if he had tried
hard enough, that Wilson would not
carry the state. The result is tak
ing the people and press by surprise
and explanations are being searched
for, to account for the vote.
At noon today the independent
tabulations for 5892 precincts were
as follows: Wilson 456,329. The
Hughes vote in the same tabulations
was 451,264. One hundred and
seventy-six are uncounted, but hard
ly large or extensive enough to
change the situation.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 9.—
Hughes has ceased gaining on Wil
son for several hours, Wilson main
taining the five thousand lead he
grabbed from Hughes this morning.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 9.—
Francis J. Heney says that there is
now no longer any question that
Wilson has got the state.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 9.—
The Chronicle says that California
may divide its vote. The rest of the
papers treat this remark with deri
sion.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 9.—
Democrats have completed arrange
ments to celebrate victory in the
presidential contest in this state.
REPUBLICANS STILL HOPED
UP TO THE LATEST HOURS
NEW YORK, Nov. 9.—Wilson has
unquestionably a fighting chance in
Minnesota. Republican leaders sent
out a joyful bulletin announcing
that Hughes has carried the state.
This was just prior to noon. Before
one o’clock the democrats retorted
with an emphatic declaration fhat
the Hughes lead was losing ground
and that Wilson would win.
BISMARK, N. D., Nov. 9.—This
state once wobbly and doubtful
twice, went back into the certain
column today in favor of Wilson.
With the totals for 1817 precincts
in, from a total of 1859, Wilson had
a total of 50,819, while Hughes
count was 49,972. As the remain
der of the precincts to be hoard
from are sparsely settled, and with
a very small vote, most agree with
the democrats that it will be im
possible to overcome the Wilson
lead.
NEW YORK, Nov. 9.—Hughes Is
watching the ballot counting with
extreme interest. He however ad
mits that while he is hopeful, the
result is doubtful. His staff smiled
with him at this remark. •
That the republican leaders will
not concede the election of Wilson
is the emphatic declaration of cfiair
man Wilcox. ”We are very hope
ful”, he said.

MINNESOTA HANGS IN
BALANCE FOR WILSON
ST. PAUL, Nov. 9.—In spite of
the fine up-standing vote which the
Twin Cities gave Wilson, the rural
precincts didn’t do a thing to it.
Down in the southern sections of the
state however the smaller towns and
cities jumped into the breach with
another batch of Wilson votes that
almost overcame the Hughes
strength from the country. The
farmer’s vote was almost solid for
Hughes. The protection stunt is
what effected this.
ST PAUL, Nov. 9.—At four
o’clock this afternoon the Hughes
lead had dwindled to 510. However
this is questioned.
Newspapers figuring on the final
count claim a Wilson plurality ot
13,296.
ST. PAUL, Nov. 9.—346 precincts
are unreported in • this state. It is
claimed that of these two hundred
and thirty are favorable to Wilson
and will complete the victory that
the democrats are already claiming
from the republicans. Excitement
is intense in this city ever since
Tuesday. Extras are pouring into
the street from all newspaper offi
ces and the crowds have never left
the bulletin boards for any time dur
ing the past few days.
It is believed that the final returns
will show that Wilson has overcome
Hughes lead and captured the state.

REPUBLICAN PAPER
SAYS WILSON WIN
! f ■: ’' t» frfWft
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 9.—The
republicans lost heart when the first
afternoon extra of the North-Amer
lean, a strongly republican sheet,
and whose advocacy of Hughes hat
never faltered, bulletined at its toj
"Wilson conceded election".
LONG BRANCH, Nov. 9.—Wilson
arose at eight o'clock this mornini
and at once had placed before bin
the carefuly tabulated returns up te
the last minute by his staff. He con
tinued to watch the election returm
and like Hughes is anxiously doubt
ful.
Senator Hollis wired him congra
tulations assuring him that he hac
carried New Hampshire.
CHARLESTON, West Va., Nov. 9
—While the democrats have no
given up hopes of stemming th<
Hughes tide in this state, their like
lihood of doing so is very doubtful..
With 1324 precincts in and counted,
Hughes has a plurality of 4059.
There is hardly any possibility of
this being overcome by precincts yet
to be heard from.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 9.—This
afternoon Los Angeles republican
tabulators had advised that through
out the entire state the Wilson lead
had been cut to 3058.
Even this will be hard to over
come, and it iB believed that the
result is no longer in doubt.
Safety first. You miners coming
in from the creeks look up the ad
vertisers in your paper before dis
posing of your patronage.
