This score would seem a trifle one sided to those who did not witness the game, but Smethport had to light hard for every point. The Kane boys put up a much scrappier game than did Smethport.

C. A. Among the Guardsmen. Camp Stewart, El Paso, Nov. 13.

The first thing this morning after roll call and frolicing, the company elected three judges of election as fol lows: First Lieut. Nelson, Sergeant Clyde G. Kelts and first class Private Samuel P. Davids and these three appointed Serg. Ernest Gustafson and Serg.

There swas considerbale rivalry in our company over the merits of various candidates and when the vote was counted Hughes led with 25 votes while Wilson was a close second with 19.

Owing to several of the candi dates names having to be written' in a great many would not bother to take the trouble of doing so consequently part of the state and county ticket suffered thereby. For congressman Rowland, (Rep.) received 24; Tobias, (Dem.) Kelts, Moore, 1. For State Senator, Baldwin, (Rep.) Longstreet, 4, and for State Assembly Habgood led with 23; Fitzgibbon, 22; Isherwood, 8 and Osborne, 5.

Guess the boys have got so used to building roads that they want to he sure of something when they go home. Some politician, with the vote of most of the companies in our regiment gave Hughes a good majority. Good Work of Y. M. C.

A. At 8:30 Chaplain Hall of our regiment conducted our regular weekly service. He certainly is a fine young fellow, a good speaker and he is well liked by all of the regiment. In the evening at 7 o'clock "Big" Mason of the Railroad Y. iM.

C. A. of New York, gave an excellent address. The "shed" as the Y. M.

C. A. here is called, was filled to overflowing. He is as big intellectually as he is (physical, so you can imagine how interesting he is when I tell you he is over six feet tall and weighs 335 pounds. He was ably assisted by a Mrs.

Adams and six young women from El Paso. Adams played several selections on' the violin and the boys encored her so heartily that she could not get away until she promised to come out again soon. The rest of the ladies ably assisted in the singing. Too much cannot be said for the Army Y. M.

C. A. for the way it has tried to make the soldiers forget their lonesomeness. It certainly has helped many to pass many an irksome hour. Here we can play such games as checkers and dominoes, or play the Victrola which has a large and varied number of records.

Again we get enjoyment out of the piano, for there are a lot of the boys that can play It to perfection and. say folks. you should hear us sing. It is just great and as usually five or six hundred are singing at a time we make the old "shed" ring. Then they have provided a basketball court where some great games are pulled off.

Three nights a week we have moving pictures and on these nights one has to get here about 6 o'clock or he does not stand much chance of getting in.

HUGHES PLURALITY 183,488. Philadelphia, Nov.

13. Returns from Tuesday's election in 6,804 districts out of the 6,968 in the state, give Charles E. Hughes a plurality of 183,488. The figures stand: Hughes, Wilson, 506,970. REPUBLICANS ARE GIVEN A MAJORITY IN NEXT CONGRESS Independents Can Swing the Legisla ture of Next Two Years Both Parties Fear Clash.

Washington, Nov. 13. Members of the house of representatives in the newly elected Sixty fifth congress face one of the most uncertain organiza tion situations in the history of the government. With a few districts in doubt, the Republicans appear to have a plurality of four or five members md a possible majority of two or three when it is figiied that an independent elected in Massachusetts and a Progressive elected in Minnesota probably will vote with them for organization purposes. Independence of ac ion has characterized a number of the re elected members on the Republican side, however, and their attitude toward Democratic legislation in the last few years has 'given Democratic leaders cause for hope that some of them might carry their independence into the organization of the next house.

On the face of the unoflicial re turns, the political division of the iouse is so close that an eifective and certain working majority does not ex ist. While there might be a few changes when the official returns are counted, the chances are that those would not materially alter the general result. In view of the situation, it is regarded ty Democratic leaders as improbable that President Wilson will call an extra session of the new 'congress next spring. In that case the organization fight will not come until the regular session in December, 1917, which will mean maneuvering for more than a year in the contest for speakership of the house and the or ganization of important committees. Hughes Ahead in Minnesota.

St. Paul, Nov. 13. Latest available figures today give Hughes a lead of 70. The figures, including most of the guard vote, stand: Hughes, 178, 819; Wilson.
