Looks Like Hughes But Democrats Say Wilson Still Has A Chance
Vote Very Close In Many States

THE LATEST.
2:30 A. M., Nov. 8, 1916.
To Interior Journal, Stanford. Washington, Oregon, California and West Virginia apparently hold the balance of power in the Presidential race, with the issue very doubtful. The House and Senate are apparently Democratic.

Courier-Journal News Bureau.
MAGNIFICENT MAJORITY FOR WILSON AND HELM

Republicans Are Snowed Under Here By Splendid Majority of 336 Votes.
Wednesday, 1:30 a. m., Nov. 8. Latest dispatches from Louisville and Cincinnati to the I. J., indicate that the race for the Presidency is very close between Wilson and Hughes with the odds decidedly in favor of Hughes. The Republican National Committee is claiming Hughes' election with 320 electoral votes. Vance McCormack, Democratic National Chairman, however, refuses to concede the election of Hughes and claims that Wilson has won.

Returns were very hard to obtain from any of the doubtful states up to an early hour. While it is acknowledged that Hughes has carried New York, Indiana and Illinois are claimed by both sides, but with the chances favoring Hughes. The Democratic leaders say that Wilson has shown surprising strength in the western states and that he will show up with enough votes in them to pull him through. However, all indications point to the election of Hughes as the next president, though the complete vote from the states which are missing may cause a change. Wilson showed unexpected strength in such states as Kansas and California and may have a chance to carry both when full returns are in.

EARLY BULLETINS
Republicans claim Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New Hampshire, New York, Oregon. Pennsylvania,  South Dakota, 'Virginia, Washington, Vermont,  Virginia, Wisconsin and California taking a total of 254 electoral votes.  Nebraska and Kansas give Wilson good margin in early returns. New York's majority for Hughes will be about 65,000. About one-third of precincts in Indianapolis give Hughes lead of 300in city. . .

Indications point to Illinois being in the Hughes column. Republican national headquarters claim Hughes elected and the next House,  Texas came in with usual 150,000 democratic majority. If all the rest of the country had acquitted itself as well as old Lincoln, there would have been nothing to it but Wilson everywhere.

The largest democratic vote ever polled in a presidential race and almost a record breaker from a
democratic standpoint was polled Tuesday and Wilson carried the county by 336 votes, a splendid majority. When it is recalled that Wilson's majority over the combined Taft and Roosevelt vote in this county in 1912 was less than 50, it will easily be seen what a splendid race the President ran here. In every precinct in the county the democratic vote showed a tremendous gain, except at Highland, where the republicans made their sole gain in the county.

Thanks, One.  Glad you liked them.

You providing us with very interesting trip into the past RG

I also like the old style print fonts and how they were brave to mix several fonts on labels or signs or news papers of course,..today graphic designers
are of opinion that max two fonts , three is very rare these days,
but if you look at labels of some scotch you can see 4-5-6-7 different fonts and in my opinion it looks very interesting and artistic
