STATE RETURNS ARE REPORTED

HARDING HAS &LURALITY OF - 180,493, WITH OTHER CANDIDATES TRAILING. < Indianapolis, Nov. 4. —With only 54 of the 3,384 precincts in Indiana missing tonight, Senator Warren G. Harding, Republican, was leading his democratic opponent, Governor James M. Cox by 180,--493 for president and it was believed there would be little change in when the unofficial tabulation was completed. The missing precincts are. in Marion, Vigo and Starke counties, the vote in all other counties being unofficial but complete. The figures for 3,330 precincts were! Harding, 681,479; Cox, 500,956. The senatorial and gubernatorial candidates were trailing the party leader by from approximately 5,000 to 16,000 votes, according to the tabulations. These figures showed the total vote incomplete in four counties—Clay, Vigo, Marion and Starke —on senator and governor. Tabulated Return*.

Tabulated returns from 3,314 precincts showed Senator James E. Watson, republican, running 174,561 over former Senator Thomas Taggart, democrat! ,he figures being: Watson, 663,268; Taggart, 488.7Q7., ' Returns from 3,279 precincts indicated that Dr. Carleton B. McCulloch, democrat, ran ahead of his ticket, as did Warrefi T. McCray, the republican gubernatorial nominee, had smaller lead than did Senator Harding or Senator Watson, McCray’s plurality being 163,972. The vote was: McCray, 658, 813; McCulloch, 494,841. . Returns from more than half of the precincts on the candidates for state officers from lieutenant governor down to clerk showed majorities for the republicans. / General A»*embly.

Incomplete and unofficial returns indicated large majorities for the republicans in both houses of the next general assembly. In the senate, there will probably bo 41 republicans and nine democrats. The 25 holdovers are included. Republicans won 28 of the* 25 vacancies and the democrats two. Reports indicated that in= 'the - lower house the republicans will have 89 seats*and the democrats 11. . Minor Parties. Minor political parties potted • approximately 60,000 votes, party leaders declared today, basing their estimates on scattering returns from half the state. Returns from 1,790 precincts gave the farmerlabor party the lead among the minor parties with 13,471 votes, the socialists having ’ 9,882, the prohibitionists 6,712 and the single taxers -253. ( ।

JOINT HOSPITAL WINS IN TIPPECANOE COUNTY

The referendum on the question: “Shall the counties of Tippecanoe, Warren, White and Benton establish a hospital for treatment of tuberculosis at cost to county not to exceed $100,000?” went to the ayes in the Tuesday election in Tippecanoe county by a substantial majority, although the vote cast on the question was considerably smaller than the general vote cast, many having overlooked the proposition altogether or refusing to vote upon it. A conservative estimate is that only one out o£ every dozen voted at all on the proposition there. Only a majority of the votes cast on the particular issue is required, h°wev6r,'and unofficial reports indicate that the proposition will carry in Tippecanoe county three or four to ' - A remarkable feature of the election. in New York City was the socialist vote. For Eugene V. Debs, the party’s presidential candidate now imprisoned in the Atlanta penitentiary for. violation of the, espionage act, were cast Y 0^ 8 ’ more .than four times the total the socialist candidates'received in New York in 1916 when the vote was 31 ’ 788 - ______ -V Vane Smith, who had been in the hospital in this city, was able to returned to his home m Morocco today. Morris Cox was also able to leave the hospital today.

WILL CELEBRATE M’CRAY VICTORY

HOME TOWN AND COUNTY WILL GIVE A ROUSING JOLLIFICATION. The citizens of Newton county will celebrate the. victory of Warren T. McCray, the Republican candidate for governor at Kentland, Tuesday afternoon and evening, November 9. We say the. citizens, because, in addition to the solid Republican vote Mr. McCray received the votes of many, many Democrats. This, ih spite of the fact that the Democratic press had flooded Newton county with papers containing muck-rake, slanderous articles of malice and misrepresentation. Undoubtedly the abuse of' Mr. McCray and other Republican candidates contributed largely to the victory won by the G. O. P. The day for that kind of demagoguery has passed and- the news-' paper, political party or person who ' resorts to this stone-age method will not only assist his opponent f but also injure his own reputation. We said in our Wednesday issue, “Let’s celebrate, Republicans! Let’s show the Muck-rakers and Slanderers that they dirtied their own souls but failed to even soil the hem of the’ garment worn by candidates whom they would injure by malice and misrepresentation.” When we refer to muck-raker* and slanderer* we mean those who' by personal abuse and misrepresentation attempted to injure the good name of the candidates of the Republican party?” We refer to those who scattered broadcast over this country the vilest report in refer- 1 ence to President-elect Harding not being of pure white blood, those who attacked the character'of Governorelect Warren T. McCray. We refer to those persons who insultingly remark that the Republican party to composed of Pro-Germans and Negroes. ''-.S ’ a. The Republican party is pleased to have the support of every. American citizen, regardless of his previous nationality or present color. The Republican party stands for Americanism and every loyal American, who believes in Old Glory, the constitution, in liberty and in theperpetuation of the great American government is welcome into its fold. ... . We have no criticism or the Democrat who keeps himself clefts, wm does not muck-rake or slander and who does not resort to malice and mis-representation. Such Democrats love their country, its laws and institutions and act with the highest and purest motive. For that kind of a Democrat we have only the highest admiration. More than that we feeT that thousands of good Democratic citizens were moved to vote the Republican ticket because if its stand for “America First.” Many Democrats who voted their ticket were just as sincere as the Republican and the Democrats who voted the Republican ticket The American citizen who is upstanding, clean, high minded, honorable ana loyal is worthy of praise and admiration regardless of his nationality, race, party or religious affiliation! ’. The Republican, lias been clean t and has not published a word of personal abuse of any Democratic Candidate. This in spite of the fact that there were some very damaging rumors floatinginrefj erence to the personal character of ( some of their aspirants for high; office. We were urged f to give! publicity to some personal matter in reference to the candidates of the Democratic party, but we re-, fused ■' ~ ■“ ' I We ignored almost wholly the > personal attacks being made against; our candidates and our judgment was ( -that that rot would injure only those who would stoop so low as to use it.. The people have spoken in no uncertain words and the guilty ones have a right to hang their , heads in shame and suffer the. remorse of the conscioiisness of hay-; ftlg tried to wrongfully .injure the! good name of a fellow citizen, for । tiie cheap purpose of influencing ins fellows, causing them to and thereby fail to support candidates thoroughly worthy and c*P»; ble of filling the positions of trust and honor to which they aspired. Nothing would be further from our desire or motive than to knowingly hurt the feelings of low, who has not been guilty of mud slinging or misrepresentation, but we do not have words suinaently severe with which to condemn “those guilty of <nuck-raking, slan-

SHOULD TURN OUT FOR IMPORTANT GRID BATTLE

So far this season the Rensselaer football team has been accorded very good financial support by the fans, but not in the measure they deserve. Althougn there has been a nice balance left over from each gamq, yet the same would not have been true had it not been for the splendid patronage of the fans of nearby towns, each. Sunday finding large delegations from Newton, Benton, White and Pulaski counties in attendance. To be shaded by outside fandom places Rensselaer followers of the great fall pastime in a bad light and challenges their loyalty. On next Sunday Rensselaer faces the hardest team of their season’s schedule when Logansport, a team that has run rough shod over all of their opponents this season, travels to this city to do battle with Coach Parker’s pets at Riverside park. A victory over Logansport will send Rensselaer football stock soaring .to unprecedented heights and will place the city on one of the highest rungs of the Indiana independent football lader. A clean slate for the season will give Rensselaer a very strong claim to the state title and Coach Parker and his players are bending every effort toward keeping their record intact. Three games will follow the Logansport game, the final of the season coming on Thanksgiving day when the Michigan City American Legion team meets Rensselaer here All three ot these games will be hard ones, so it is easily seqn that the Rensselaer players have a big task confronting them, and they are deserving of your sincerest support. z • A winning team means much to any city,, so it is up to Rensselaer fandom to turn out in full force Sunday and "encourage the players in their fight against the powerful Cass "county aggregation. The game will be called at three o’clock. i The Morocco ’football team will 1 meet the strong Battery C. Team of [Lafayette at Morocco Sunday. Bat.tery C is the team which gave Rensselaer such a hard fight last Sunday and the outcome of the Miorocco game will be awaited with a great deal of iqterest by Rensselaer fans, aa it will give them a line on the relative strength of Morocco and Rensselaer. ' > The high School football team will go to Gary Saturday for a game with Emerson high school. The Steel City team has made a poor showing this season in the matter of games ‘
