Many Campbell -Democratic tickets are expected to be voted today. "Lily White Ticket." There have been other "attempts" made on the straight ticket, among which is the so-called "'Lily White," or as some wag termed is, the "White Lily" ticket, which is a mixed ticket and the arrangement of which is credited to T.

There is undoubtedly a disposition among some Democrats to punish Hayden for his altried leged anti-war record but whether any considerable number will go to the extent to voting for his Republican opponent in the face of the closeness of the division in congress remains to be seen. It the issue of a Democratic national house were not such a close one it is not all unlikely that Pima county would smite him. "Hayden's chances are on the knees of the silent voter," is the way one political seer expressed it.

In recent days, however, there has been made a determined fight for Mallory, Bernard's Democratic running mate, and Mallory believes he will be one of the elected supervisors. One of the most intensive campaigns has been made by Jack Dufton, Vinson's opponent. He has recognized from the start that he had a hard fight-Vinson led the ticket two years ago--and he has campaigned accordingly. Vinson's friends are confident of his recelection.

The present Berlingern civil government claims basolute authority over the army. The Versailles conferees evidently did of not reach final news of the armistice.

Drastic Terms Forecast. An attempt to apply the lesson of the Austrian armistice to Germany's situa- to tion brings out several points upon which military men based their forecast of the German terms.

"From a purely military point of view three causes have, in my opinion, espe cially contributed to the triumph of today, the choice of the right moment, the efficient direction of the attacks, and rapidity of execution. Austrian Army Largest.

"The happy success of the allies on the French front, the withdrawal of Bulgaria and Turkey from the war left Austria, although with forces greatly superior, alone against us. The bad weather and the snow had already begun to make the movements and the provisioning of the armies in the mountain zone rather ditficult. The same effect was produced in the plains near the sea by the violent rains which caused the streams to rise and overflo wthe lowlands. Such conditiong narrowed the Italian front of attack and, general way, they favored the in the concrete case they made the attack easier because such difficulties made it impossible for the enemy to counter attack successfully on our flanks and gave us an opportunity to concentrate greater forces in a narrower space.

"From the very first moment the intention had. been evident, of dividing the Austrian army in such a way as to separate the mountain section from that of plains and possibly the retreat of the Austrian troops.

Since the offensive started 63 Austro-Hungarian divisions were put out of combat by 51 Italian divisions, three British and two French divisions with Czecho-Slovac units and an American regiment. Italians Inferior In Number, "War against Austro-Hungary, which was conducted under the high command of his majesty, the King of Italy, with an army inferior in number, has come to an end," said the dispatch.

"With unshakable faith and indomitable valor the Ital-! dan army waged a continuous and hard war for a period of 41 months and won the stupendous battle begun the 24th of October and in which were engaged in their entirety all the resources of the enemy. "So far the enemy has lefe in our hands 300,000 prisoners and not less than 5,000 guns.
