Greenfield Republican, Greenfield, Hancock County, 7 November 1912 — Page 1

The Democratic party won a great victory in Tuesday's election. The opposing parties scarcely carried anything. Republican states, as well as Democratic, gave large pluralities. In most sections a large per cent, of the votes were gotten out and all the Democrats seemed to have voted their ticket straight, while many of the other party men seem to have also voted the Democratic ticket. The Democratic victory is a veritable "landslide."

Governor Woodrow Wilson, of New Jersey, and Governor Thomas R. Marshall, of Indiana, have been •elected President and Vice-Presi-dent, respectively, and they will get about iOO electoral votes.

Col. Theodore Roosevelt, of New York, and Governor I-liram Johnson, of California, of the Progressive party, are second, with 7i electoral votes, and a chance for more •out of the final returns from Idaho. New Hampshire, South Dakota, Pennsylvania and Wyoming.

President Taft has only eight electors. They are from Vermont and Utah.

Governor Wilson has carried the electoral vote of the following Republican states: Ohio, Maine, Connecticut, California, Rhode Island, Minnesota, Oregon and Wisconsin.

Roosevelt carried Illinois, Iowa. Kansas, Michigan, Washington, and is neck and neck with Wilson for

Party at Country Home. A masked party was given by Miss Fay Wiseman and Mrs. J. N. Cottey, entertaining the C. E. Club at the home of Miss Wiseman on last Thursday evening.

Pennsylvania, with the chances in his favor for success. Samuel M. Ralston, the Democratic candidate for Governor of Indiana, has carried the state by about 50,000, while Albert J. Beveridge has led Col. W. T. Durbin in the gubernatorial race by about 18.000. The entire Democratic state ticket was elected. The Democrats elected every Congressman from Indiana. Congressman Finly Gray, of this district, was re-elect-ed by a good majority.

Uncle Joe Cannon, former speaker of the National House of Representatives, was defeated in his district in Illinois. Illinois, while giving its electoral vote to Roosevelt, has elected a Democratic governor. While West Virginia elected the Wilson electors, it elected a Republican governor.

The lower house of Congress will have a large Democratic majority and the chances are very good for a I inted Slates Senate of the same political complexion.

Victor L. Berger, of Wisconsin, lite only Socialist representative in I tie present Congress, was defeated by a Republican on a fusion ticket.

SAMUEL M. RALSTON Governor

RAGE FOR PRESIDENT

Wilson and Ralston Ran Neck and Neck Also Roosevelt and Beveridge and Taft and Durbin.

The Hancock county vote for President and Governor shows the candidates on the same ticket running neck and neck. Wilson and Ralston. Democrats, ran pretty even in practically all the precincts. The same can be said of Roosevelt and Beveridge, Progressives, and Taft and Durbin, Republicans. In many of the precincts the vote for President and Governor does not vary much, sometimes being even.

It was thought by some that Mr. Beveridge would run ahead of Mr. Roosevelt in this county and that Wilson would run ahead of Ralston. The returns show some scratching was done, but not as much as wras anticipated by some.

Rev. Ira Hicks Gives Forecast On November Weather Many Rains, Some Snow, Cold and Warm Weather

Ira Hicks, the weather prophet, gives the following forecast for the balance of November.

A Reactionary Storm Period

fall

ing on the Gth, 7th and 8th, with new Moon on the 8th, threating weather will continue over from the 5th, bringing a return of falling barometer, change to warmer and increasing storms of rain and wind on and touching the 8th and 9th. These storms will end in dashes of early snow and change to

very

much colder, about the 9th, lOt.h and ltth. From the 5th to the 11th central on the 8th, general seismic unrest will be very natural and probable. We urge every reader to watch for all telegraphic reports of such phenomena, the world over keep a record of dates on which earthquakes and storms are reported and prove to yourself and friends whether or not these things happen in conformity to our theory and forecast.

A regular Storm Period involves the ltth to'the l(th, being central on the 13th. At this period the moon will be at. extreme south declination and atmospheric tides will flow from northerly directions, increasing the porbability of cold rains and winds, added to snow and sleet over central to northern parts of the country. The Mercury and Venus periods will both be felt in the disturbances of this period, and to the end of the month.

Storms of this period will culminate on the 13th, 14th, 15th and 16th—first to the west and thence progressively, day by day, to the eastward. High barometer and change to westerly winds and much colder wili push the western flanks of the storm center, all the way to the Atlantic. One of the most important things to know and keep in mind, is that rising temperture, falling barometer and fair weather precede storms, and rising barometer and colder, clearer weather will follow storms.

A regular storm period involves the 23d to 28th. Watch vour barometer. This period calls for violent autumnal storms. Rain, sleet and snow, fierce gales and a

sweep

ing. cold wave following will be the order.
