6.0. P. MUST CARRY
THE EMPIRE STATE
NEW YORK, Nov. 3.—The re
publican eleventhe hour rally is the
surprise of the campaign here and
the leaders are working overtime in
their endeavor to overcome the
Wilsonward drag. It is realized
at last that Hughes to win must
carry the Empire state.
An extraordinary feature of the
situation is the fact that the Wilson
triumph failed to affect the big ten
to six odds now running in favor of
Hughes and the New York Herald,
supporting Governor Hughes, says
that Wilson money is getting as
scarce as hen’s teeth.
Democrats claim that they will
sweep the city of New York by
eighty thousand plurality and they
profess confidence that this dead
weight can never be overcome by
Hughes.
The New York American, a
Hughes organ, says it will be nip
and tuck to overcome the plurality
admittedly will fall to Wilson in the
city, but the state will do it.
The World says not only the city
but the state is for Wilson and
points to the recent polls which have
been made. The Boston Transcript
says that a million dollars have been
bet on Hughes at ten to eight and
ten to six, indicating how strong a
favorite he is with the commission
men. Indianapolis reports that when
Wilson was stumping during the
forepart of the week Hughes was
favorite at ten to nine. Now seventy
five thousand is offered against
twenty-five thousand that Wilson
will be defeated and there are no
state is similar.
Experienced political dopesters ad
takers. The betting throughout the
mit themselves at sea. Straw bal
lots, news paper polls, political
census, all carefully worked and
tallied show Wilson a hot favorite in
many places and at most an even
favorite with Hughes, yet all the
money is sliding to Hughes and
any snap odds is grabbed up so
quickly that the commission men
fear to take much more.
If Wilson wins, the commission
brokers will gain a pile of money
bet by the Hughes followers.
MEETING NOTICE,
The Democratic Party will hold a
rally at Eagle Hall, Monday night at
8:30 o’clock. The Nome Brass Band
will furnish the Music.
ITALIANS CRUSH AUSTRIANS
GREAT THREE DAY FIGHT
ROME, Nov. 3.—The greatest
single victory gained in the war
came to General Caclorna and the
Duke D’Aosta when they suddenly
veered from their advance up
Trieste and attacked the Austrians
in eastern Goritza in a desperate
lunge.
General Cadorna reports that fift
een thousand Austrians were killed
on the first day that the Italians re
sumed the Goritz fighting and twen
ty thousand prisoners were taken
on the third day of the battle which
began November 1.
ROME, Nov. 3.—Reports this
evening show that the Italians have
been driving all day further into
the Austrian positions and that a
regiment and several battalions
were anihilated in the terrific fight
ing this afternoon.
The Austrian troops that have
been trying to hold, the Trieste po
sitions made several feeble counters
in an effort to aid the troops strugg
ling hard along the front east of
Goritza. These were all easily re
pulsed.
PARIS, Nov. 3.—Italy’s daring
defeat of the Austrians is the signal
for mutual rejoicing among the En
tente nations and today congratula
tions were exchanged between the
French leaders and those of Italy.
The desperate fighting now being |
resumed along every front is of a
staggering description. Today the
Allies on the west repelled several
German counters and the artillery
inferno which is now the regular
nightly occurence is resumed on the
Somme.

moral lesson it has no equal and
contrary to all rumors, it has been
passed by the board of censors. It
will be repeated at a Sunday ma
tinee at 2.30. Sunday night at 6:30
Syd Chaplin, Charlie Chaplin’s
brother will make his first appear
ance in the roaring scream “Gussle’s
Day of Rest”. He is one of the

James Mugns a former subway
guard and Thomas McGuire a
chauffeur have also been arrested.
The police state that while they
have no evidenece directly incrimi

ing a few victims.
The arrested men refuse to speak
and the police are reported to be
putting them through a vigorous
third degree.
STATE DEPARTMENT IS
CONCERNED FOR AIRMAN
WASHINGTON, D. C.P Nov. 3.—
An amusing side of the serious na

statement made that the State De

that the frequent naming of Amer
ican Aviators and members of the
so-called American aero corps in the
service of France is embarassing to

statement is accompanied by the an
nouncement that serious charges
will be made against Americans
serving with any side and they will
all of them lose their citizenship

whom they serve. The number of
Americans leaving for Canada to ac

ALLIES OFFENSIVE IS
GREAT EVERY LINE
LONDON, Nov. 3.—The Allies
have resumed the offensive on every
section with the most startling gains
being those of Italy which smashed
the Austrians on their Goritza po
sitions with terrific slaughter. The
Russians are furiously attacking on
the eastern front and will reach
Lemberg for the winter, the British
forces in the Balkans have crossed
the Bulgarian frontier and captured
two towns on the Struma front. The
Serbs have routed the Bulgars and
Teutons on the Cerna front.
LONDON, Nov. 3.—General F.
Maurice, Chief Director of Military
operations for the Entente replying
to Hindenberg’s triumphant declara
tion that the Alies failed to break
through the German lines declared
today that the German Chief of Staff
had yet to learn that the Allies
wanted to anihilate German troops
not to break through and that the
Somme offensive would continue all
winter. The ground was chosen so
that smash after smash could be de
livered and it will be continued.
Maurice said that had they wanted
to break through no one knows bet
ter than Hindenberg that the Somme
front would be the last place chosen.
They are now fighting man to man
in a final grapple said General
Maurice and they will soon realize
It.
BERLIN, Nov. 3.—The Russians
made seven desperate charges in an
attempt to regain the positions on
the Narayuuvka river just east of
Lemberg and which they lost yester
day to Prince Leopold. They were
unsuccessful and sustained heavy
losses. They have now begun a
violent bombardment of the German
and Austrian positions.
BERLIN, Nov. 3.—The Russians
have begun a furious offensive along
the entire Volhynian and Galician
front. It is a collossal attempt.

Nome do hereby affirm that we will

HUGE ELECTION PLOT
UNEARTHED BY AGENTS
WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 3.—
The Attorney General announced
this evening that the Department of
Justice investigators had uncovered
plans for gigantic election frauds on
a scale simply prodigious. These in
clude fraudulent returns and illegal
voting.
The government has completely
uncovered a conspiracy among the
most prominent politicians to move
sixty thousand negroes into Indiana,
Ohio, Illinois and the Middle West.
Throughout these states no less than
one hundred and fifty thousand
negroes have been registered al
ready, despite their being in all
cases less than three months resi
dents. In almost all the states false
registrations and negro padding
have been unearthed and the intimi
dation by employers is on a scale
hitherto never equalled. The entire
machinery of government is to be
used to expose what the Attorney
General describes in a sensational
statement as an unbelievable scan
dal of dimensions beyond even the
conception of the most inveterate
election swindler.
CHICAGO, Nov. 3.—Special grand
juries have been called in Ohio, Il
linois and Indiana to investigate the
election frauds. The call is for Nov.
8 and this prompt action may in
some degree prevent more serious
frauds.
Frank Baly, the special prosecutor
retained to assist the local district
attorney, is conferirng with the po
lice here, and in Ohio and in Indi
ana by long distance telephone.
NEW YORK, Nov. 1.—The elec
tion frauds announced by the gov
ernment are the sensation of a de
cade.

LOCAL ITEMS.
The Democratic Campaign Com
mittee held a meeting on Thursday
evening where all arrangements
were finally completed for winding
up the campaign in this section in
a blaze of glory. They, figure that
their local standard bearer George
B. Grigsby will be feeling just right
for the retort courteous after inhal
ing such volumes of frozen ozone on
his return here. The eloquent trans
mutation to calorified air is not an
unnatural anticipation. In addition
the democrats have arranged for the
band to indulge in a concord of
sweet sounds, and the man who
hasn’t music in his soul isn’t fit for
chopping wood of breaking lumps of
coal, as Shakespeare said.

Taturimio where they placed great
artillery batteries. These flanking
the Falkenhayn force attempting to
gain Predeal compelled the Teutons
to retire across the Hungarian bord
er in the direction of Tablebitz. The
fighting was very severe.
BERLIN, Nov. 3.—The Rumanians
are greatly favored by the advant
age in position ip the Transylvanian
fighting, but notwithstanding this,
the Teutons are gaining ground in
the Rosenthurm Pass.
PETROGRAD, Nov. 3.—Advices
received indirectly from the Central
powers show that the Teuton lead
ers realize that they have not
enough available men to begin to
conquer Rumania while the Allies
are pressing so severely at other
sections.
In order to prevent Rumania meet
ing the fate of Servia, it will be
necessary to carry on a constant
campaign on every front.
