opposition br the usual Republican majority. Michigan, Iowa, New Hampshire, North Dako'.a, Connecticut, Minnesota, Indiana and Wisconsin have roll- ' ed up Republican pluralities, al'hough there was a large falling off from the usual majorities. New Jersey shows Republican gains. Ohio also shows Republican gains over the Pattison vote of last >ear. The Republicans expect a plurality of 5,000 in the state. Joint statehood of New Mexico and Arizona is defeated in Arizona, which defeats the proposition. Governor Hoch is re-elected in j Kansas by a reduced majority. The Republicans carried Utah, Wyoming and Washington, and have lost Nevada, while both parties are clalm- ! ing Colorado. Montana seems to have been carried by the Republicans and Texas takes its usual place in the Democratic column. Congressman Babcock of Wisconsin formerly chairman of the Republican congressional committee, failed of election. In Rhode Island, James H. Higgins, Democrat, was elected Governor.

The result of the election in this I Judicial Circuit is cause for congratulation and glory to the cause of De- ; mocracy. John Rawley is elected Judge of the Circuit Court by a majority of about 1,700, and it is not sure that this could not be bettered if effort |had been made. V The office of Prosecuting attorney is to be filled by Putnams’ brilliant and able lawyer, James P. Hughes. His majority is supremely satisfactory, aggregating about 1,100.

The Republican plurality is far below what Hugrhes’s supporters had ex- ! pected for him. The Illinois results indicate a gain of five Democratic Congressmen— | two in the state and three in Chica|go and Cook county. The state’s results show a decided gain in the Democratic vote over 1902, the Republican loss being felt in the Eighteenth District, where Mr. Cannon’s plurality fell from the figures of four years ago. He received 3,458 plurality in

the district.

The entire Democratic congressional ticket in Arkansas was elected, there being a contest in but one district. The majority was about the

Weds Putnam County Man. A pretty home wedding was solemnized at high noon Sunday, the 4th, j at the home of 'the bride’s parents, Win. Raab and wife, near Asherville, when their beautiful and aeeompllsh- ! ed daughter Miss Letha was united Jin marriage to Arthur Johnson, a prominent young man of Putnam j county. The bridal party descended the stairway to the strains of Mendelssohn’s wedding march, played by Miss Sophia Boyd at the organ, Rev. Sidebottom, of Center Point, performed the ceremony. About sixtyfive relatives and friends were present. The bride looked the lovely girl she is in white lustre trimmed in all over lace and ribbon: the groom wore the usual black. They were the recipients of many beautiful presents of linen, china, silverware, etc. After congratulations they retired to the dining room where a bountiful dinner was served the guests.—Brazil Times.

THE HESUITS OF THE ELECTION

Realizing That They Want A Change.

The voters have cast their ballots and election for 1906 are history. The advantage, so far as change of political sentiment is registered at the polls is strongly favorable to the cause of Democracy. Republican gains over the vote of two years ago are few and far between, while the betterment of the Democratic vote of 1906, as compared with that of 1904, Is almost everywhere apparent in reduced Republican majorities and increased Democratic majorities. Indiana reduces tthe Republican majority to possibly less than 30,000 j and at this writing 'the indications are that Holliday and Dandis have been defeated for re-election to Congiess. The Indiana Congressmen

elected are:

JOHN H. FOSTER, Rep. JOHN C. CHANEY, Rep. WIMJAM E. COX, Dem. DINCOCN DIXON, Dem. EHIAS HOLLIDAY, Rep. JAMES E. WATSON, Rep. JESSE OVERSTREET, Rep JOHN A. M. ADAIR. Dem. CHARLES H LANDIS, Rep EDGAR I). CRUMPACKER, Rep. , GEORGE W. RAUCH, Dem. CLARENCK C. GILH VMS. Rep. ABRAHAM L. BRICK, Rep. The Indiana legislature is Repub-

candidates for office to victory. The entire ticket in Georgia was elected, and the usual number of Congressmen returned. Warner, the Republican Governor of Michigan, was re-elected. The delegation to Congress is unanimously Republican, as it was before. The re-election of Senator Dryden in New Jersey is assured, as a strongly Republican Legislature was elected. The Democrats gained one in the congressional delegation. Wyoming’s returns are meager, but there is little doubt that the entire Republican ticket has been elect-

ed.

The new State Constitution will be written by Democrats for Oklahoma and Indian Territories elected a strongly Democratic Constitutional Convention, the Republicans conceding seventy-three delegates, while the Democrats claim at least seventyeight. The Indians, generally, vot|ed the Democratic ticket, much to the discomfiture of the Republicans, who also lost nine districts In Oklahoma on whioh they had counted. The election was, in fact, a landslide for the

Democrats.

District Attorney John B Moran (Dem.) was defeated by Curtis Guild Jr., (Rep.) for Governor by a plurality heavily in excess of that of a year ago. Boston's vote was an especial disappointment, Moran’s plurality

It is the ; intention to build on to Indianapolis via Mooresville. From Quincy to Indianapolis is just forty miles, and fro mQuiney to Mooresville is twen-ty-four miles. Most of the mileage is through level country, and the company has received much encouragement in building. J. C. Bdgworth of Kankeekee, Ills., is here looking into the stone quarry situation with a view of locating a stone crushing plant here. He Investigated the stone west of town in the neighborhood of Oakal- ; la today.

The Putnam county Democrats did themselves proud Tuesday by electing their entire ticket by the usual large majority. Of the county Democratic candidates, James L. Hamilton who was in the race for Clerk, led the ticket with a plurality of 579 votes. Claude G. Bowers received more votes in the county than any other candidate on the Democratic ticket, having a plurality of 584. He was the candidate for Congress from the Fifth Congressional District. The lowest vote for a winner was that of C. A. O’Brien, who was elected coroner by 425 votes. On account of this being an off year and because of the farmers being busy harvesting their crops, the vote was light. The Republicans lost as heavily on this account as the Democrats, however, and the vote shows a correct condition of political affairs in the county. In the city the Democratic vote showed a slight increase over 1904. The official vote of the county fol-

Election Notes. John Edwards, ex-treasurer, was down from Roachdale to hear the news. “Everything is all right” was John's characteristic expression. Rawley is elected Circuit Judge b> a majority that will be close to the 2,000 mark. The ballots show that many mixed tickets were voted. There were about the usual number of mutilated ballots. Word from Clay county is to the effect that Rawley ran much ahead of The Democrats elected M. M. Hurst justice of the peace in Jefferson j township, which normally is Republican. He was the only victorious Democrat there, however. Putnam county is always to be relied upon to do the right thing in election matters. The Democratic majorities in Putnam county reach well up towards the 600 mark—if the full vote had been polled they might have reached

1,000.

The vote shows that all good Republicans did not consider Ben Hayden good enough to serve as a peace officer of Greencastle township. This is pathetically sad and sadly pathetic. Democrats of rock ribbed Putnam have reason to feel good —they made themselves felt for the right and gave their verdict for good, clean, economical and efficient administration of the public affairs of Putnam county at Tuesday’s election. James Hughes carried Clay by a majority of probably 500. Hhis majority for prosecutor of Clay county and Putnam county probably will reach 1,100. The court house was a busy place today. All the Democratic candidates were there anxious to know “just what" their majorities were. Handshaking and congratulations were the order of the day. Many persons were down town last night to hear the election returns. The assembly room of the court house was crowded until late. It was after 1 o’clock before they had all

gone.

John B MoCabe, the Clinton township election Inspector, was the first election official in Putnam county to arrive In Oreencastle with the official figure® of the vote of his precinct. A creditable record, especially considering the long drive he had to

make.

A number of Republicans who have not been dwellers in Greencastle for many years, were here to vote on Tuesday. Strange it is that their names are not to be found on the Putnam county tax duplicates. This seems to be representation without taxation: the old cause for knocking was taxation without representation.

Word is given out whereby the rule is withdrawn which prohibited strolling on Sunday afternoons at DePauw, Vice President H. A Gobin, who is in charge of such regulation, has decided to put the students on an honor system according to the announcement made today. He has so Instructed Miss I^item, dean at the dormitory, and commencing next Sunday the “coeds” will be allowed Sunday afternoon dates providing they stay within the city limits. Previously the students were wont to follow well worn paths to favorite spots, such as McLean Springs, the Big Four Springs and Limedale, but these journeys must ail be abandoned. Other favorite strolls have been out along the Monon and Vandalla Railroads, but these, too, must be “cut out”. With such provisions the students will be allowed to take the popular Sunday afternoon walks, but strict watches will be kept to see that there is no disobedience. In case the students do not live up to the provisions, Dr. Gobin will again Install the rule against any Sunday afternoon “dates.” Although the time for strolling is growing short, the students are pleased to learn that the ban has been lifted. The new rule allowing fihe Sunday afternoon stroll will apply not only at the dormitory, hut at all of the fraternity houses as well. In the winter time it will mean that dates may be made at the sorority houses In the afternoons, which otherwise would not have been allowed. The plan is more of an experiment than anything else, but the students are expected to live up to the provisions. Even with the granting of this privilege the number of dates allowed per week this year is smaller than It has ever been, as no engagements are allowed to be made for Friday evening.
