Result Expected to be Close Despite Fact That Demo- crats Are Able to Claim Re-election of | Members from the “Solid South” [By Associnted Press] | WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.—The can politics—the congressional elec September marks the conclusion of state primary elections and} nominating conventions, leaving the political cripples. The lines of. battle, already are fairly well defined. Upon the re- sults of the balloting depends political | control of the 66th congress, which} convenes in December, 1919, unless sooner summoned by President Wil- son. Dependent upon the returns are the fates of aspirants for near-| ly two score sehts in the senate and| 435 in the house. Like the presidential election of 1916, when California’s votes, after| a week’s wait, finally determined the; nation’s president, the congressional | result, according to private state- ments of prominent Republicans and | Democrats in Washington, is expect-| ed to be close. The Democrats now} have 52 senators against 44 Repub-| licans, while in the house the re spective strength is 216 and 209. Seats of all of the latter are involved| in the present campaign, while 21) Democratic and 15 Republican sena- tors’ seats are at stake. | For ali practical purposes, the elec-| tion is over in a number of states,| —in the “solid South’ where nom- ination on the Democratic ticket is| equivalent to election. Primaries and conventions in these states, how- ever, altho changing present person. nel in the senate and house from sev- eral states have not affected the fin-| al result. For some Republicans, | without opposition, the primaries al-| so have meant certain election in November; these also do not change present line-ups in congress, incum- bents being named for re-election. Already, however, the primaries/| have resulted in defeat of many pres- ent members of congress. Among them are Senators Vardaman of Mis- sissippi and Hardwick of Georgia, Democrats, who were opposed by} President Wilson, and the following | representatives: McLemore, —Slay-| den and Garrett of Texas; Shackle: ! ford and Borland of Missouri, Woods | of Iowa and others. | Missing from their present places also will be found others who are| not seeking re-election, or house/ members who have foregone renom-} jnation to seek election to the sen-| ate.’ Among them are Senators!

She knew that my love was blessed from above, And sincere and honest and clean; But the slacker’s sweet tongue with its work well done, Has tarnished my jewel serene.

A000 CASPER PEOPLE VIEW WAR EXHIBITS Cars Thronged During Afternoon and Evening with Interesting Crowds; Personnel of Soldiers It is conservatively estimated that no less than 5,090 people viewed the war exhibit carried on the Liberty Loan Special to Casper yesterday, for in addition to nearly 2,000 school pupils who visited the cars in the afternoon a large share of the adult population turned out both early and late. The relics were the chief center of attraction, being doubly interest- ing because they were captured by the Yankees no more than six weeks A continuous throng of people crowded thru the aisles during the hours the exhibit was open to inspec- tion. Explanations were readily fur- nished by members of the soldier unit who accompanied the special and the event was a success in every re- spect, contributing greatly to local Then I may have honorably died. | Oh, girls of our nation, without hesi-}| tation, Hear but one soldier’s plea, And be of true heart, as we do our part, In a land far over the sea. | The personnel of the soldier unit included many who received their baptism of fire on the west front.

One of the captured army orders reveals the fact that of 10,000 Alsa- cians mutined at the Beverloo depot in Belgium during May. According to the order, the mutiny was “sup- pressed pitilessly,” and all soldiers were ordered to assist in rounding up the mutineers who were trying to make their way toward Holland. In other documents the crown orders that the soldiers from Alsace- sa Lorraine must never be employed in| critical situations and are to be used in the front lines only when in com-} pany with trusted troops. During the preparations for the great Marne offensive, the Germans became alarmed by the number of de- sertions of Alsacians. General Buch- holz issued an order that “under no pretext must they be utilized in the first line during the present opera- tions,” and recommends that “severe measures” be taken in cases of “dis- loyalt, Text of Hun Order The order is dated July 4, 1918, and reads as follows: “Xth Army, No. 1182-2 42 Division | IA 162 Secret MYT65. The Crown fie’Prince’s Group of Armies has re- ported that because of the number of desertions of Alsacian-Lorrainians re- cently, they must under no pretext be utilized in the first lines during the present operations. Consequently, divisions are ordered that all soldiers from Alsace-Lorraine or others whose origin does not give sufficient guar- antee of their loyalty, should be un- til further notice kept out of the zone of combat, Each regiment is respons- ible for the loyalty of the Alsace- Lorrainians remaining in the first line.” Buchholtz orders that the men re- moved from the lines be sent back for agricultural work and guard duty under reliable guards. He asks each battalion to report within four days the number of Alsace-Lorrainians in each regiment, number who can be trusted in the front lines, and an opinion of the service of these men. The captured papers: throw consid- erable light on the manpower situa- tion of the German high command. They prove that the major number of divisions brot from the Russian front last spring were second-class divisions and divisions composed of subject peoples whose loyalty to Ger- many was open to doubt. Recommends “Iron Hand” In a confidential order issued to all officers in the early spring, General von Bohn explained that many of the divisions being brot from the east front for reinforcements were com- posed of a large proportion of men Have You Had ALLMETAL Weather Strips installed yet?
