As Mr. Hughes is leading in Minnesota and West Virginia and a change in States could in no wise result there may be no Ue VirtuaUy all the States whore the result is close are carried in the Hughes column and for that reason the Democrats profess to be not ap? prehensive that any overturning could come from a recount.

We have claimed the re-election of President Wilson since early Tuesday evening; we knew he had it. We have been fighting especially for the Western States." Chairman McCormick left Demo? cratic headquarters at'11:30 o'clock laying that he was satisfied that the president had been reclected. When the Associated Press inform? ed Democratic headquarters that President Wilson had carried Califor? nia there was wild cheering and the crowd of workers who had been <?n duty almost constantly for two days and two nights seemed to forgot they were weary. The street in front Of headquarters had been blocked all the evening with crowds cheering for Wil? son. After theatre crowds were thronging Broadway and adjacent street! in the white light district when beams Ol light from a search lights In the tow? ers of lofty buildings flashed the an? nouncement that Mr, Wilson had l>< en re-elected.

The straight Democratic tick. t. State and national, was an easy win? ner in Buinter county, as had been generally expected. The vote was larger than usual, both the Demo? cratic and Republican parties pott* tog more \vdes than customary in a general election. In fact the size of the Republican vote was the occasion for considerable comment. In the cny the Democratic veto WmM about two thirds of the primary vote, while in the county precincts the vote was about the same as is usually cast in ft general election. Only about half ( f the ruial precincts have been heard from yet. The State ticket was voted general? ly, but there weie a number of the Beard-Blease ballots cast both in the city and in the rural precincts. In other cases there were a number Jf the regular Democratic tickets voted on which the name of R. L Man? ning had been obliterated and Cole L. Bl0000*1 name written in its place, as the nominee for governor. However, the voters of the Beard tickets and of the Blea.se tickets did not show their tickets in voting, in every caso bringing them to the polls with them, and they could be detected In many instances for this reason. The total vote of seven precincts heard from ou the State ticket ghe Manning 870 ,votes, Blease 62, and Cantey, the Bull Moose candidate, 2 votes. The straight Democratic ticket was voted for each of tho other nominees of the parties, except that in a few instances individuals i were scratched. On the various con MBflttiicial amendments the vote wan every VOteS late election, f the Republicans not voting /or the Democratic party nominees and there were no nominees for any other party except those for governor and lieutenant-governor of Jhe Pro? gressive party. The vote showed from ten pre? cincts, out,of the llfteen, 114 2 votes cast for the Democratic electors, 126 for the regular Republican electors, or Tolbert faction, 13 for the inde pendent Republica i, or Adams fac? tion, and 1 for the Progressive elec? tors.
