London, Nov. 4. —(Special to Daily :Democrat) —Official confirmation is still lacking of the report that a German squadron of heavy war craft had left its naval base and had headed out into the open sea. It is persistant in official quarters however, and there has been no denial. Most of the chiefs of the admiralty were on duty throughout the night and it is believed that important developments are pending.

SHIVELY AND ENTIRE STATE TICKET SAFE (CONTINUES FROM PAGE ONE\ vailed during the night for the democratic leaders. Doubt concerning the democratic control of the house was swept away. They expect a new leadership of at least 25. Friends of President Wilson called this the " greatest blessing" of the situation. In the midst of the sweeping republican victory, leaders today said that a business boom was on its w«y and that the democrats will reap its fruit in 1916. Chicago, 111., Nov. 4—(Special to Daily Democrat) —Most of the available returns showed that prohibition was decisively defeated in Ohio and California but that the prohibition amendment was carried in Arizona and probably Washington. In Colorado the result is in doubt, with the "drys” claiming their plurality in the state outside Denver will carry the state dry. Oregon also is in doubt with the early returns indicating a ?lose result. Columbus, Ohio, Nov. 4 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —Ohio was struck by an old-fashioned republican landslide in Tuesday’s election. The republicans elected Frank Willis governor of Ohio by plurality that is estimated on claims of county chairmen to be 8,000 to 15,000 over Cox. Cox at 8 o’clock this morning conceded his defeat and sent congratulations to Willis. Cox observed that his defeat was brought about in Hamilton county (Cincinnati), where the vote was heavy against him. Denver, Nov. 4 —f Special to Daily Democrat)—A republican landslide has swept into office Geo. Carlson, republican candidate for governor, and nearly every candidate on the republican stat*- ticket. The fight to decide whether or not the state will be vet or dray is and will probably require an official count to settle it. Carlson’s plurality was nearly 25,000. New York, Nov. 4—(Special to the Daily Democrat) —New York has joined Wisconsin in having a socialist representative in congress. Meyer ’London has been elected to the hou;e of representatives from the Twelth district, and is the first socialist to be elected to this office in the history of the state.

Chicago, 111., Nov. 4—(Special to Daily Democrat) —Complete returns from this city in the senatorial fight gave Sullivan, democrat 148.610; Sherman, republican, 89,552, and Robins, progressive, 76.612; a plurality for Sullivan of 59,058 for Sullivan in Cook county. Returns from 1,641 precincts out of 2,788 down state gave Sherman a plurality of 39,110 over Sullivan. The figures of these precincts are: Sherman, 153,753; Sullivan, 119,643; Robins, 66,232. Sherman at Springfield today issued a statement claiming his election by a safe plurality. His managers, however, admitted they did not hope for more than 15,000. The Sullivan managers claimed victory at 10 o’clock today by 30,000. Boston, Mass, Nov. 4 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —At midnight the Boston Globe conceded the election of Walsh, democratic nominee for governor by a plurality of 12,000. LOUISIANA AND ARKANSAS. New Orleans, Nov. 4—(Special to Daily Democrat) —Eight democratic congressmen were elected by the usual democratic majority in this state at yesterday’s election. Little Rock, Ark., Nov. 4 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —There was little interest in yesterday’s election here. James P. Clark was elected senator and the entire democratic congres-

sional delegation were returned. NEW YORK IS REPUBLICAN. New York, N. Y„ Nov. 4 —(Special to Dally Democrat)—;At 7 o’clock this evening the Brooklyn Eagle conceded the election of Whitman, republican, for governor over Glynn by 50,000. Wadsworth is running ahead for senator and will probably win. Fort Wayne, Ind., Nov. 4 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —The entire democratic ticket was elected in this county with a close race on for sheriff. Cyrus Cline was re-elected to congress from the Twelfth district by a plurality that will reach 3,000. DeKalb county gave increased majorities for the state and county tickets and Whitley county elected its entire democratic ticket by majorities of from 400 to 800. REGISTERED HOLSTEINS AT PUBLIC AUCTION. Kukelhan Bros., breeders of the finest Holstein cattle in Adams county, will offer at public auction at the Dacatur Horse Sale barns on First street, on Tuesday, December 1, 1911, the following head of Holstein and extra high grade cattle:

i Sixty-five head of registered Hol- . stein, 10 head of high grade cows. Most of these cows are bred to the herd bull. Sir Korndyke, Daisy Veeman, 70122, whose dam and grand-dam average 30.42 pounds of butterfat in 7 days, 125 pounds butter in thirty days. Among these cows some have I records up to 22 tbs. butter in 7 days, and 2 year old heifers up to 16.53 ibs. butter in 7 days. A number of these cows have been fresh recently. Oth--1 ers are nearby springers. Eight bulls, some old enough for service. These cattle trace to such noted blood lines, King Segis De Koi 2nd, Butter Boy 3, King of the Pontiacs, and Korndyke breeding. The dam of • our herd bull was sold a year ago last I June in Syracuse, N. Y., for $1,950, and will undoubtedly raise her present record. In this sale will be a heifer sired by a half-brother to K. P. Pontiac Lass, who made 44.18 ibs. butter in 7 days, the present world’s record. Many others are bred just as well. Here will be a bargain to get into the Holstein cattle, the most lead- " ing dairy cattle in U. S.. Catalogues ■ will be ready by November 18, 1914 Terms: —Cash, unless other ar- " rangements are made before the sale.

SHOE PINCHED MANY. Probably no item caused a greater stir in some time than that on " Pick-Me-Ups.” No names were used and the reporter had but one or two in mind in writing the article. Since the paper has come out, however, it seems from angry murmurs heard that there were many more abroad than the reporter heard about. It is not written as a slam for those who are old enough to know better, and for those for whom it does not matter in particular, but for the good of one or two girls who have not yet passed their teens and who are innocent of any intention of wrong-doing. o IS A BUSINESS GETTER. ‘The Tobacco Leaf,” a magazine, contains a picture that is of much interest locally. It shows a group of ten, designated as "A Bunch of Minnesota Business Getters.” Among the number is Frank Mills, son of F. V. Mills, of this city, who is one of the Minnesota salesmen for the American Tobacco company and is making good. o TO BE OPERATED UPON. Will Leiine, of Tiffin.
