LABOR VOTE DIVIDED. 1 NEW HAMPSHIRE WILSON'S Leads New England State by 63 Votes. ? Gains In California with 17 Precinct# Missing. ? Hughes Drops in Minnesota, but Still Maintains Safe Lead. ? Wilson is a majority President. New York ? On the returns up to date President Wilson has received 8.50S.085 votes 'and Mr. Hughes 8,090, 951 jvir. WUsokCb popular plurality is therefore 417,134. He is a majority president, which he" was not when he went Into office. In 1915 he received 6,293.419 votes. * It h<js been said that Mr. Hughes re- ; ceived the votes of the most populous | states of the Union and Mr. Wilson that of the less popuTou. There is not ro inuccli difference as might be ex pected. The states which voted for Mr. Hughes had, according to the last census. 45,901,739 inhabitants. Those which voted for Mr. Wilson had 45. 737,643. The difference in Mr. Hughes' favor is 164.096. The latest returns from the close s fates show the following results: , In California Wilson is leading by 3,431 votes, with a few scattering pre cincts missing; in Minnesota, where some of the militiamen's votes have bec? counted. Hughes is still ahead by 286 votes with 27 districts missing; . tii North Dakota, with 14 districts miss ing. Wilson leads by 963 votes; New Hampshire, where the count has been completed, gives Wilson a plurality of 63 votes. From the reports of leading corre spondents in the different states on the influences which brought about Mr. Wilson's election It is possible to get a clear idea of the part played by the different group "votes" of which so much was said before election, and of the reasons which moved great I bodies of voters to the decision they reached. Progressives and the Wohnen. classes of voters, and two only, fUjcOTnplishod the result. They were UOt the Gerrman-Americans. the labor Vote, or any of the groups standing for special interests. They were the. Pro gresslves and the ^Qmen. ? ~ The split made in the Republican partv in 1910, which bocame a break tn 1912. was not mended at Chicago. The dispatches now In the hands of the papers Indicate no- probability of Its being mended until the cause for It Is taken away. From the Hudson River to the Mississippi, the bolters ?f 1912 wore largely satisfied with Hughes, but to the East and West of 'those boundaries, especially to . the West, they were not. And it was the West that decided the election. :? In New York and Illinois the broach was apparently healed; there Is no sign of anything to the contrary, and ! the same thing seems true of the states that generally follow the leader ship of these two. That, however, was as far as Colonel Roosevelt was able to bring about a reunion. The Progressives of Kansas, Wash ington, California and the other West ern States havfr again defeated a Re cause the other wing of the party was In control and made the nomination. Minnesota and Wisconsin voted for Hughes, but both have show that they orb as progressive as ever. Minnesota by accepting him so narrowly - and Wisconsin by IyaFollette's victory. The wonttm vote and the Progres sive vote telescope each other, for in the critical states the women who tarned the election were largely Pro gressives. Rut the women voted as Women, too. The reports from the states ?where women vote show that) the dream of solidifying woman as a and swinging her vote this way and that at the order of female -epkl-^leaders hr shattered forever. But the women did make up - their minds *4, women in many Western t Sates, and vot5?d iritbopt regard --either to hew the women politicians bade them 4r to how their own men folks veted. W. ?

His 1r?d thought Ik wever was not to ' foretell we d her conditions, but to seek for the flonrnynf the incalculable pow-l er manifested everywhere in nature, ' ?and he firmly believed to his last day.' that this would sometime lie found utilized b.v the race. Soon after the projection of Word and Works, he gave up his work in the ministry, and devo'ted all his time and energy to study, ami the publica tion of Word and Works and his Al manac, In 1SJ)4 his first Almanac came out, and in it lie outlined his theories in an article entitled, "Foun dation Facta."
