The most 'jQomentuoiiB election
the country has seen in half a century
If low Iii progress. It will determine
whether the Republican party,
the party of national administration
is able to keep control of the National
House of Representatives
Democrats of political foresight are
omphalic in their claims that the
House will be Democratic and
'that the Hon. Champ Clark will be
the immediate successor of the Hon.
Joseph G. Cannon, Speaker.
Di&eafistactioa with the Republican-made
tariff is causing Republicans
to give their support to the
Democrats In the doubtful Congressional
district**, of which political ex
pertfi claim there are 118 In the
country. There are 391 members of
the Home of Representatives. In
the present House 217 of these are
Republicans and 17 4 Democrats. It
is generally conceded that there are
132 districts reasonably sure for the
Republicans and 141 for the Democrats.
This leaves 118 districts doubtful
or debatable. In which the battle
tor the control of the Hoinse is now
raging with more than the accustomed
Congressional vigor. The
Democrats feel they have a remarkable
chance *o show their strength
in th.8 campaign, while the Republicans,
satisfied in some sections over
*he tariff are dissatisfied in others,
in some sections torn by party fights
and in other sections placidly consent,
are placed absolutely on the
defensive behind breastworks not
built of solid rock.
Of the debatable districts mentioned,
82 are now held by the Republicans
and 3 0 by Democrats. The
ihur arp ko many debut
Republican districts, indicates
on the surface that the Republican
party is in a perilous defensive posMion,
and that remarkable work
must be done by Republican campaign
managers in order to save
these districts and thus save thy
House for the Administration.
Political experts in figuring upon
the chances tor a Democratic House
rely gTently for a base of operations
upon ttk> three special Congressional
lection held early in the year. The
hmt was in the Sixth Missouri disrret
for a successor to the late Duviu

Massachusetts district, where
the late William C. Lovering, Republican,
was accustomed to polling a
majority of 14,000. Here Kugene
\f. Foss, Democrat, was elected by a
majority of 5.600, overturning as
\ou see a tremendous number of
normal Republican votes.
The third was in the Thlrty-seok

These three remarkable special

tho modern tendency of voters to
shift easily from one party to another,

Staggered by the enormous growth

Director Durand, of the census

in the announcement Saturday night
that gross frauds hud been perpetrated.

of 1900.
The first figures turned in for Tacoma
were 110,168. In other wor Iff
the actual population was padded to
the extent of 88,290, which would
have meant a further addition of 4?*
per cent.
; These additions w.ere made in 3*
out of 78 enumeration distric s in
Taooma. In some of these districts
the n lumber reported pro e 1 t<? bo
several times greater thai, the actual
population. In ten districts the
first enumeration showed 29,798
names, whereas the correct number
was found to be 1 1,64 6.
Director Durand's statement consists
mainiy of a letter from himself
addressed to Secretary N'affel, of the
department of commerce and labor,
dated Oct. 8, in which the whole ease
is presented.
Director Durand's letter sets t'ortu
that attempted "padding" waa main
jy through the use of slips printed
by private individuals and' containing
the census questions.
Three were debased freely on the
street coiners and elsewhere and
wore filled out by thousands of people
who either had already been
enumerated or who were not permanent
residents of the city and not,
entitled to enumeration there. It is
possible that in some cases the names
were wholly fictitious.
These names were turned over by
the private individuals who collected
them, through special agent Staeey
I). Casey, to 110 of the. enumerators,
and they, ladder iiVStrucUoiPj of Special
Agent Corwin, added the names
to the enumeration by assigning them
as "boarders" or lodgers," to various
houses in their districts.
In other words, the director states,

DOES THE WORK
Cttten Picking Machine Invented by an
Augusta Bey Said t? be
A WONDERFUL SUCCESS
- Description
of Ilie Picker and How
It Gathers the Fleecy Staple?Can
Be Kquippetl With Flectrie IJghts
For Work at Xlght?-To be Made
in Augusta.
It is here at last, The Augusta
Chronicle says, the Fourcher cotton 1
picking machine, that marvelous J
creation of inventive, genius by a
bright young Augusta boy, was given
a practical demonstration in the i
presence of a number of cotton growers
and business men in a flourishing
cotton field on the farm of Air. Kobt.
Fleming, four miles from the city,
All who witnessed the demonstration
agreed that Fourcher cotton picker
is the invention of the age, and that
a great future awaits the machine
and its maker.
The new cotton picker is the ln[
vention of Air. Harry K. Fourcher,
of Augusta. Four years ago he con
ceiv$d the idea that a machine cpuld
be made to take the place of the
slow and, too often, unreliable negro
cotton picker, upon whom the southern-farmer
depends to harvest the
world's greatest staple. Mr. Kourcher
began to work quietly and said
nothing ot' his efforts unitl he had
his machine patented and ready for
operation. In the meantime cotton
picking machines were invented and
some were actually put on the oar*
ket. Hut none were built upon the
Kourcher plan, and he was enabled
to continue his work lndisturbed by
the tear of having his ideas "stolen.
(Karly in the summer of 1909 Mr.
Kouroher exhibited 'his Invention.
The cotton picker was a very crude
affair, but the idea was there, and
his friends were confident that he
would some day achieve success. The
machine was given several tests during
the following fall, and, although
it picked cotton, the invention vt\?s
still "in the rough." Since thai time
Mr. Kourcher has busied himself improving
upon his original idea, and
now he announces that the cotton
picker is about coniyiete.
The cotton picker used tor the demonstration
is only a rough model of
what the finished machine will be.
Qthcr improvrnjentfj have been made,
find the machines that will b?? put
on the market will be lighter and
more compact. - ?
The Fourcher cotton picking machine
is Very simple and very practical.
A little narrow wagon gears a
small gasoline motor, which operates
a tiny electric generator. This in
turn applies the power which works
the picking machine carried in the
hand by the laborer. Upon the little
wagon is a frame from which flexible
wires connect i ue generator in me
wagon to little dynamos carried on
the backs of the men who operate
i he pickers. The little, dynamos
weigh about two pounds each, and
ire attached by leather straps to the
backs of the workers. The pickers
carried in the hands of the men, arc
operated by flexible shafts connected
with the dynamos on their bucks.
The picker is a small simple little
device. A little metal box with revolt
Ing burrs snatches the cotton out
of the boll without any injury to the
line and throws it back into the
cotton sack, to the mouth of which
the machine is attached, and which
the worker draws along behind him.
The packer will not gather loaves or
trust and the fotron is remarkably
clean. kk.eh picking machine may

oieke.j s. On I > one picker w as used I
I in I he demonstration, and no effort ,
was made to show the capacity of the
machine, as a "grown" negro who had
never picked a boll of cotton in his (
life handled the pieke.r.
As the. pickers work, two in each ,
row. with a full force of eight pick- .
ers attached to each machine, the i
little wagon is drawn by hand down ,
the middle row. The wagon is light
and can be easily moved over the. (
field. V\ hen it is in operation canvas (
curtains protect the machinery from j
contact with cotton ?talks, weeds, i
etc. The machine is equipped with *
electric light, and it. is possible to
attach small incandescent lights j
to the hits of the workers, so that s
cotion may be picked at night, just
as coal miners are euuinneri for their i
work in tin* black depths.

men. is believed to be on epochmaking

craft was soon out of sight of the

with the exception of ships at sea,

Numerous messages were received
during the day and the latest indicated
that Wellmau was sailing off
the Long Island shore northeastward.
The ship according to this last

With everything ready for the
word "Let's go." the crew climbed
up and into the car hanging fiom the
balloon. The final "good-bypa" were
said to wives, other relatives and
friends and the last word to the
men cm the ground was given. The
great ship gave a lurch, all the ropes
and cables became taut and the ship
rose, slowly at flrst and then more
rapidly as It ascended higher and
encountered the gentle breev.e from
