La Follette man- agers, however, expect him to make an even better gain than this when more complete returns come from Me- Lean, McKenzie, Mount Rail, Mercer, Hettinger and Burke counties, where La Follette is piling up a large ma- jority. These six counties -always turn in a large plurality for Progressive can- didutes and the Non-Partisan League, and it is this slow movement of the returns that always throws doubt as to the winner of an election in North Dakota. With the remaining pre- cincts claimed by La Follette, it believed the President's plurality in the State of 10,614 will be cut down rapidly.

By the Ascociated Press. GENEVA, November 6.—Sao-Ke Al- fred Sze, Chinese Minister to Wash- ington, and his nation’s delegate to the nternational oplum conference, enlivened today's session by vigorous crticisms of the oplum policies of the great powers which have Far Sastern possessions, where opium- spoking is customary. Accusing these nations of making it too easy for the Chinese to obtain opium, Mr. Sze alleged that the Por- tuguese colony of Macao thrived upon opium out of Indo-China this proved that it the French could not keep opium out of Indo1China, this proved the inefficiency of the French admin- istration there. Answering these criticisms, English, French and Japanese delegates as- serted that the Chinese representative made his criticisms in order to fore- stall attacks on his own nation. The Portuguese representatives insisted that if Macao derived revenue from opium, this money was employed in improving the morals of the Cliinese residents. ued at | Cunningham and Fred- | leave | time -pre- | 'Y-FOUR PAGES ening Star. {CUTTING U.

LOUISVILLE, Ky., November 6. —The voters of “Bloody Breathitt” County, as it is known in Ken- tucky, are fairly evenly divided in political sentiment, but they do not scratch their ballots. Nearly complete returns today from Breathitt County in Tuesday's election showed exactly the same totals for each Republican can- didate, presidential, senatorial and congressional, and, likewise, for the Democratic candidates. The vote on the proposal to issue $75,000,000 in bonds for roads and State institutions also was the exact total of the votes cast in the other contests, it being the only county in the State where every voter marked the separate ballot. The county went Republican this year by 1000 because a large percentage of the Cox vote of four years ago stayed at home. Three years ago in a gubernational election Clay Hole precinct, in Breathitt County, was the scene of a_Republican-Democratic elec- tion fight in which four men were killed and 17 wounded. Testimony at the trial of the participants in- dicated Republicans had en- deavored to influence voters in a normally Democratic precinct, and the Democrats expressed the strength of their convictions with pistols. oners deported by the government to | Purchases Home of Late Rear A Rasa Island, lving between Rio Ja- | 5 2 neiro and Santos.
