Each candidate made a pew record for bis party. The Wil- son vote was 2,812 871 larger than the Bryan vote in 1886 ; the Hughes vote was 928,088 larger than the Roosevelt vote in 1904. This year Illinois wrested from the honor of being the banner Republican State, the plurality for Hughes being only 181,860 in Penpsylvania as against 202,236 in Illinois.

R.; lat- er on wae sent to Dubngue, Iowa, and made assistant foreman of the railroad yards there.

We bave had fine winter weather, mercury only reaching 16 degrees be- low zero at the lowest. Yours truly, N. R. Youxa. Piok Strikes Buried Pot of Gold, The pot of gold at the rainbow’s end was discovered by Bamuel H, Kline on *his farm at McClure, Boyder county, one day last week.

ANOTHER SORT OF ELEUTION, {Contuiued from first page.) we have po doubt that if Mr, mick, Mr, Pinchot or Mr, Wilcox bad first candidate they saw, of course, providing it was a euflragette. We have not heard how the Governor stood on this question but we under- stand that the Auditor General cast hie tallois for Deer, Now ae to the paradee, [t would- u’t be mich of an election if a parade did not follow with lots of bande and sbouting. There were parades too but quite different from (he parades in November. Ib the November pa- rades the voters did the parading and the capdidates steyed at home Lo re- ceive the congratulations of the de- lighted voters. How untimely some of the parades were toe, However in the December parades the voters are sitting quietly at h3me teliing the loved ones about the ballots that did not go off ; the voting machine that did not baliot where ; all calculating the cost of “ that piece at apy price” avd some weary ones calculating the cost of “po plece at all,” while the candidates who were fortunate in pot b ipg elected sud parading up snd down the mouptaine congra'u- lating each other healing wounds and retiring sgain to private life for anp- other year, Neither party ls in debt, though tbe expenditure was great, Centre county's share in the cam- paign coutribu tupning about $4000. However the individual vo- tere epent lsrge smoupts in order to cast ballots for a successful candidate, Que crowd of 8 voters in Poe Valley got 8 100 pound eandidste at a cost of over $200, not dear If a plece cost $2, considering the crowds thst spent $200 for no piece at all, The volivg insted for 15 days and no tiuce wa declared and po quarter given, Ix fsct it somewhat recembled an elec tion in Mexico where the choice of the people falie on the candidste with the stropgest army, The first few days were loo warm but toward the last it was quite cold, but the snow did pot belp much in the tracking of the candidates to their laire for it came too Isle and the weather too bad to make good use of it. There are some ipfricgements of the election laws but most of the offender sged to escape the clulches law, Perhaps one of the most com- mon offences was io casting a ballot at a “‘sufirsgette’ for in Pennpsylanis it is the mucet belnone crime to elect = feroale at this December Another strocicus « fence is to elect » candidate under age, and slrar gels mary try for the cffice. Ope such candidate that we know of was pun- ished by being eaten at the Bellefonte boepital, We do pot thick he will ever tun sgair, Ti us erdeth the sc- count of the annusl election of Deer and Besar, ious mar - of the elee for, tp Would Tag Deer spd Hear Tagging deer, bear snd elk, when killed is the lastest plan of the Siate Game Commission for protection of the state's big game, The proposition will be submitted to the conservatior conference to be held at Harrisburg te«day ; (Thursday). The plan hes been evolved since the propored new game code was circulatsd in the fall, It is proposed to incorporate it in that code, Dr. Joseph Ksibfue, execu'ive of- fice for the game commission, say: that men whe are not sporismen are ercrosching upon the people's rights, “ Huntiftg camps of forty to fifty men exist in Pennsylvania” he said today, “A f:w will be good shots, They #'and along tne runwaye.
