Ill' • K Intoveot in election returns con tinues keen in nil purls of the country. Up to the time that we go to press it is still impossible to say just what the fin il vote will be, but with 250 votes seemingly sure and Wilson leading in four doubt ful states it seems almost certainty that he will be elected. The Republicans*havc not yet conceded the defeat of Mr. Hughes and'are claiming that he will have a vote of 280 in the electoral col lege. The Democrats, claim that Wilson will be elected' with 233 electoral votes. As we go to press the nows comes that there will likely l.e a contest in several of the doubtful states, so it will likely be a day or two before the results can be de clared with absolute certainly. One of the remarkable features of the election 'is that the largo states of the East have all gone for Hughes and yet the probabilities of Wilson’s election arc strong. Present indications arc that both houses of Congress, will remain Democratic, though with greatly reduced majorities. We give herewith the present •standing by states of the two can didates.

This made a very weird scene I o each guest sis they entered. Upon arrival each person was served orangeade from the witches pot by Misses Ina Ledford, Lois Walsh and Jewel D&kel nil in Halloween cost times. After all the guests and the hon- orce had arrived, the old witch came in with a heavy load on her back and after deciding who her pack should go to she unloaded at the feet of the bride-elect who was sitting beneath a largo chrysant hemum covered heart pierced by Cupids’ dart. The guests aa well as M-iss Poulk were then entertained for quite a while by looking at the many gifts which the “spooky old witch” lmd brought to her. After every package was opened a salad course was served. The bride-elect wore a hand some dress of burgundy velvet. Her hat was of the. same shade witli a gold facinj. Electoral College STATES.
