CHAMBERS REVIEWS ELECTION RESULTS IN LOCAL DISTRICT Walter S. Chambers, of New Castle, Democratic chairman of the Sixth district, is not the least discouraged over the Republican victory In the district at the election last week. In fact he finds much consolation over the Democratic defeat. A statement made by Mr. Chambers reads: The Democracy of the Sixth district have no reason to feel downhearted over the showing they made in the recent election. If the members of the party In this section were confident of success it was because they Judged general conditions by their own surroundings. , The combined vote of the eight counties composing the Sixth district resulted in a plurality for Hughes of 546 for Goodrich of 605 and about the same for the candidate for United States senator. Figures on 1910 Data. In 1910, the last previous election with only two parties in the field the Republican candidate for secretary of state carried the district by a plurality off 1100. That was when the Democrats carried the state by 12,950 plurality, so that on the same basis as the Sixth district the state would have gone 20,000 Democratic this time. Tn 1908. when Taft carried the state by 10,000, he got a plurality of 2,250 votes in the Sixth district, so that since '08 the Republicans have sufferPd a npt. loss in this district of more than 1,600 in plurality. The same loss in the other twelve districts of the state would have given Indiana to the Democrats by a safe plurality. The talk that the Germans were deserting in Franklin county and the Catholics in Fayette proved the purest bunk, for Franklin county gave the largest plurality to President Wilson and John Adair that it has returned in years with only two parties running. The same is true of Fayette county, which gave Hughes only 327, whereas Taft got a plurality of 694 eight years ago. Gives Wilson 950. Franklin county gave Wilson 950 and eight years ago gave Bryan a plurality -of 840. The Germans and Catholics are very strong in Richmond, but this did not affect the Democratic vote for this year. Hughes plurality in Wayne county was 1098, while in 1910 the Republican .candidate for secretary of state had 1488 plurality, and in 1908 Mr. Taft carried the county by 2250. There was no loss in the South district from these sources. From every standpoint in every county the Democracy of the Sixth district have good reason to feel good over the work that was done in the last campaign. RESUMES OFFICE AT RIO JANEIRO RIO JANEIRO, Nov. 17 Dr. Lauro Muller has resumed office as minister of foreign affairs. Dr." Muller recently visited the United States on a four months leave of absence from the Brazilian foreign office on account of ill-health. He has paid several, previous visits to this country and is well known on account of his efforts to bring about a closer union between the American Republics. Last year Dr. Mueller made a tour of the South American countries which resulted in an arbitration treaty being signed by Argentine, Brazil and Chile. ' HOLD STUDENTS' DAY WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.

Basil Saylor, of Columbus, Ohio; Antoninus Marchant, of Cleveland, Ohio; Richard Walker, of Piedmont, Va.; John Welsh, of Chester, Pa., and Edward A'. Pace, of Catholic University. PRISONERS FACE DEATH. NEW YORK, Nov. 17 Prisoners from the invaded portions of France held in German prison camps virtually have to subsist on such supplies as are sent to them and those unfortunates who have no one to look after their wants face a "truly terrible'' fate, according to Dr. M.

THOMPSON LEARNS NEW USE FOR FLAT KIND OF TOOTHPICKS t ; ' . t The dignity of Main street was shattered yesterday afternoon by one of its merchants, but there was one good resulted: Persons prone to making election wagers learned that the point of contact between a peanut and a fiat tooth pick is greater than the point of contact between a peanut and a round tooth pick. The merchant was John Thompson, haberdasher, who bet two of his employes that Charles Evans Hughes would sit upon the inaugural bench March 5, 1917. As there was nothing particular at stake to be paid, it was necessary to appoint a manager, and Fred Bayer was selected. The start was made at Ninth and Main streets, and Thompson soon learned that a peanut cannot be pushed. It can be pulled along wun a tooth pick, he learned, and from that moment made progress toward Tenth and Main. Mr. Bayer urged Mr. Thompson on while the crowd cheered every spurt of speed. Mrs. .Thompson came along. She did not see her husband. The bet was declared to be paid a half an hour after the preliminaries at Ninth and Main streets. "Y" BOARD MEETS.
