Washington, Oct. 6. Under spec
tacular circumstances, featured by the
most unrestrained debate in House
and Senate history, the war session
of Congress adjourned at 3 o'clock
this afternoon. r -
Closing hours snapped with bitter
invective first launched by Senator
LaFollette against those who have
accused him of seditious utterances,
and second by Senator Robinson, of
Arkansas, who vigorously assailed La
Follette. Never in the history of the world's
parliaments has a representative body
disposed of such tremendous, work as
that completed by the American Con
gress today. President Wilson paid
a high tribute to the ''remarkable
session." Billions have been raised
and disposed of through legislation
enac ted during the -last six-' months,- -
Ani at the same time there prob
ably never has been such a session
:;o replete in dramatic incidents.
For more than two hours in the
closing session, LaFollette defied .the
"war party", the mob" and the "voice
of powrr" in answering, his critics:
He fired Lincoln, Clay, Webster and
oth; r as examples of the men who
in ij. -cades past had ventured' to crit

Yesterday witnessed the close of
the first period of The Dispatch con-j
test and the competition for the
Diamond Ring, and the volume of
business and the number of votes
cast was the largest since the con
test began. From eai:y morning un
til 9 o'clock at night the contestants
and their friends were calling at con
test headquarters. Every mail
brought subscriptions and thousands
of votes from the candidates living
outside of Wilmington, who did not
find it convenient to call at the office.
Most of the candidates carried their
special ballots issued on subscrip
tions and the "Bonus Votes" away
with them, desiring to hold them un
til a more opportune time.
Many have asked the question,
"Who won the Diamond Ring?" The
contest department wishes to state
that the winner of the ring cannotlbe
determined until the judges count the
votes at the close of the contest and
award the two Automobilesf the $200
in gold,, the $100 in gold, the $93 Fur
niture Suite, the $75 Grafonola, as
the Diamond Ring will be awarded the
candidate who turned in the largest
amount of money for new subscrip
tions during the two weeks ending
last night, who does not win one of
the above mentioned prizes.
The second period of the, contest
will begin tomorrow, and will last
three weeks, until October 27. Dur
ing. this period each $15 worth, of sub
scriptions will give any candidate
140,000 extra votes. Any money turn
ed in during -the first period, if hot
enough to complete a $15 club, will
be carried over to this period, and if
the $15 worth is completed before Oc
tober 27. the candidate will receiver
140.000 extra votes. A
No" candidate need 'feel badly if she ;
was not able to do all that she would
have liked to- have done during the
first period.. You were not the only
one who met with difficulties. All had
the same experiences. Start out to
morrow with the determination to
make up for any lost' time, and re;
solve to accomplish, more during the
second period than- you did during
the first. -
