ILLINOIS.
CHICAGO, October 3.--Thc election
IN this city and county to-day is for a
Justice Of the Supreme Court Of Hi
nois. TO fill a vacancy caused by the
death Of Justice 7. Lyle Dickey. judge
OF the Superior Court Of Cook county.
The Republicans nominated Benjamin
ID. Magruder for the Supreme Court
and the Democrats have concnrrcd in
this nomination. The Republicans
present Gwynn Garnet for the SD
pcrior-Court judge, and the Dem
ocrats William j. Hyrcs. Both par
ties have presented their own candidates
for commissioners, and owing TO the fall
ure Of portion OF the Republican press
TO support all the Republican nominees
a split ticket has been printed and Is
being offered to the voters to-day con-
tanning the names Of portion Of the
nominees Of each party.
The contest over the election OF
county commissioners is provoked by
the condition Of tho county finances and
the declaration that the present man
agement has been reckless and extrava-
CANT. The chief contest to-day, how.
ever, is over the adoption or rejection
Of the new election law framed at the
last session Of the Illinois Legislature.
The new law provides for small voting
precincts, and is framed very closely
after the New York law. The Repub-
licans and the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
men favor the new law, while the
Democrats are opposing its adoption.
The weather is clear and cool this
morning and there is a promise of a fall
average vote.
CHICAGO, November 3.-Appear-
ances at the different polling-places here
to-day indicated that the vote would be
lighter than usual. As yet no official
returns have been received. but the best
information TO be had from various
sources lead to the impression that the
election law is carried. Tn polls did
not close till O'Clock, which will delay
until late hour the receipt Of adequate
returns upon which to base conclusion
as to the result.
CHICAGO, November B." Beyond
all doubt the city election lay is car
ried, said the Daily Ners Transparent
cy at 1920 o'clock. The popular in
terest here is almost entirely centred in
the fate ef the new election law. The
Democrats having endorsed the Repub-
lican nominee for judge, ifty.seven pre-
ciDcts gave 1919 votes for and 1920
against the election law for commission
ers. The Democrats are ahead, except
in the case Of Lang, who ran away
ahead Of his ticket on account Of the
large amount of scratching. The re-
turns come in slowly.
IOWA.
DIES MONIES, Iowa, November g.
The day has been fair here and all over
the State, so far as has been reported,
and heavy vote has been polled. The
returns will be late, as q large proper
ton of the polls will be kept open until
Q o'clock. The returns will be sent TO
the Associated Press in summaries %
the precincts as fast as received, show
ing the net gains or losses. A com
parison will be made with the vote on
the Governor in 1888. when three can
didates were in the field, but the De-
mocratic and Greenback vote will be
added together and counted as Opposi-
ion TO the Republicans. In that year
the Republican candidate for Governor
had 1000 majority over the combined
opposition. The first ten precincts re-
eeived show a net Republican gain of
217.
