THE TWICE-A-WEEK

ton, Democrat, for congress has a plurality in the colonel’s county over Congressman Cocks, who was often the spokesman for Col. Rooseevlt when the colonel was president. Senator Bev -ridere,according to returns, was defeated in Indiana by John W. Kern, and eleven out of thirteen congressional ’ c stricts in Indiana went Democrat! ?. Masrachii.-etts elected Foss, Democrat, governor by a plurality estimated in excess of 20,000. Connecticut has probably elected Judge Simeon E. Baldwin, Democrat, b/ a small plurality, although the Republican state chairman refuses to concede Baldwin’s election. In Ohio, Gov. Judson Harmon was easily re-elected. The Democrats also carried New Jersey, electing Woodrow Wilson, former president of Princeton university, by a handsome plurality. In Nebraska, Hitchcock, apti-Bryan Democrat, is elected over United States Senator Burkett, Republican, by 20,000. Mayor Dahlman of Omaha, who made the Democratic bolt against Bryan in Nebraska, carried the city of Omaha in his campaign for governor by 9,000. But Aldrich, the Republican, is leading in the interior of the state, and the indications are that his pluralities ia the other counties will more than offset the plurality of Mayor DahlmanJn Douglas county, which includes the city of Omaha. In New York the Republicans have sustained a heavy loss in congressional districts. The present congressmen most overwhelmingly defeated in that state is- Herbert Parsons, son of John E. parsons, of the sugar trust and lieutenant for Col. Roosevelt in his fight against the old guard in the state.

RENSSELAER, JASPER COUNTY. INDIANA, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER », 1910.

MRS. BEASLEY STRICKEN.

Wife of Democratic Candidate for Auditor at Point of Death. Mrs. A. Beasley of Remington, formerly Miss Clara Bond and well known to many Rensselaer people, was stricken with paralysis about nine c/clock Sunday night, and has since lain in an unconscious condition, with no hope held out for her recovery. She was still alive last evening, but (her death was looked for at any moment. Mrs. Beasley is the wife of Ammon Beasley,, the democratic, candidate for county auditor, and is a highly respected lady. She is well known to mnay Rensselaer people, who will be shocked to learn of her condition. She is about 40 years of age, and is the second wife of Mr. Beasley. The sympathy of the entire county goes out to the husband in his hour of affliction. Only a few months ago 'his daughter, Miss Lucy Beasley, a teacher in the Rensselaer schools, died in a hospital in -Indianapolis where she underwent an operation for a chronic ailment. .

Henry George, son of the theorist and single tax advocate, apparently has a small majority over William S. Bennett In New York the surprising feature of the election was that the Republican vote fell off more heavily up state

COUNTY AND DISTRICT TICKET

Grampacker Probably Elected by 1500 Plurality SHERIFF, 2 COMMISSIONERS And Possibly Auditor Elected by Democrats in JasperReturns Not Yet All In, but These Men Probably Elected on County Ticket. As we go to press Wednesday morning at 4 o’clock the returns still being incomplete, indicate that Crumpacker is re-elected to congress by about 1,500 plurality, the plu rality he is reported to have received in Lake county. William I. Hoover for sheriff and Hershman and Stackhouse for commissioners are almost surely elected, and Mr. Beasley for auditor is in doubt with incomplete returns. Guthrie is probably defeated by about 600, his opponent receiving about 300 plurality in White and abous the same in Jasper. In Newton county the democrats re-elected Schuh for treasurer by 400, and Sawyer for sheriff by 300. McCorry, democrat, was elected clerk bv 200.

AGED MAN GETS BAD FALL

Uncle James Shindler of Jordan tp., met with a severe accident on Monday morning of last week. He had come down from up stairs but for some reason went back again, and when starting down the second time he seems to have slipped and fell, sliding the entire length of the stairs and striking his head against a lounge at the bottom. When picked up he was unconscious and his head was injured .quite badly. He has been out of his head a part of the time since and owing to his advanced age, upwards of 70 years, his recovery will likely be very slow.

William M. Hoover, of south of town, had been reading in the papers about the big potatoes, corn, turnips etc., grown in this locality and concluded to make ’em all go back and pit down, on the turnip question a* -least. He unloaded three flat-bottom turnips at The Democrat office Saturday that tipped the scales at 11 pounds and one ounce.

Never before in this part of the state has a contest of this kind aroused the intense interest of the entire populace, as it seems that The Democrat’s New York City contest has done even in the brief time it has been running. Just one week old and it pre' sents as pretty and popular a list of young ladies as ever entered any race. The courity would be proud indeed, to send any of the contestants entered to represent it as the greatest of all American festivities.

A Wonderful Start. But such a start as it was. Given a bonus of 3,000 votes, every young lady in the list has added to her standing materially in the last few days and from the latest count, it seems that each girl is about equally, popular, that each one is supported by about the same number of friends. The start is indeed a fair one. The difference between the highest and the lowest in the list in either district is considerably less than the number of votes equivilent to a year’s subscription. All -have practically an equal chance at the coveted' honors. The candidates are all so closely bunched that just a few votes will make a change in the whole rank. Indeed, it will not be surprising to see some of those who ate now near the lower part of the list among the leaders Saturday. A Pretty Delegation. One glance at the list of names in the race wil) assure the most skeptical that the delegation that will represent Jasper county at the festivities will be one of which every citizen will be proud. Delegation after delegation! will be there, but there will be no more attractive than the jolly Jaspfcr {county girls. .

A Splendid Outing. AVheh one takes into consideration that a most delightful outing is awaiting the fortunate young ladies, it is not strange that such a wonderful interest has already been taken in the contest. Imagine if you can the splendid time a crowd of jolly, attractive girls, receiving every attention that can be bestowed upon them, can have at this time, the most popular resort in the entire world, right at the height of the season.
