The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1890-11-06

the present campaign and contributed 10
great extent 10 the scratching are
the Farmers Mutual Benefit ASSOCIATION,
the agitation Of the compulsory school
law, and an indie pendent citizens ticket
in Cook county. The result also shows
that there has been an immense amount
Of trading on the local and state tickets
not only in Cook county, but throughout
the state where the local contests were
heated.
Indications tonight point To much
larger Lutheran, or anti-school, vote than
was anticipated by either party. II Is
doubtless due TO Raab's expressed oppo-
sition to the law in its present form and
TO Amberg's acquiesence In its modiilca-
tions that these candidates, al
though OF different political parties,
but both Of German nativity, received the
immense vote which they did In all locali-
ties where these sectarian societies have
agltated the school question.
In Chicago alone Raab appears 10 have
run no less than 500 ahead OF Wilson,
his colleague on the democratic ticket.
As the greatest opposition To the school
law was confined 10 Chicago and Cook
county, this issue, coupled with the i'm
mense foreign-speaking element in this
city, fully explains Raab's phenomenal
strength for superintendent Of public in
structiou throughout the southern part
of the state, 10 which is prin-
cipally confined the strength II the
Farmers Mutual Benevolent association,
the republican state nominees appear To
have lost heavily. The fact that Wilson,
democratic candidate for treasurer, is a
high official in the Farmers Mutual Be
nevolent association, accounts for his
popularity in localities where the mem
bersbip Of that organization OF greatest.
On the face of the incomplete and esti-
mated returns tonight, the rcsult on the
state ticket In Illinois is as follows;
Francemberg, republican, Tor state treas.
urer, is elected by 400 plurality over VII
sou, democrat. Raab, democratic candi-
date for state superintendent Of public
instruction, is elected 10y 10000 plurality,
over Richard Edward, republican,. lndi.
cations are that three republican candi-
dates for trustee of the state university
are elected by a slight majority.
CHICAGO, Nov. 5.-The following con-
gressmen are elected from Illinois:
First district, Taylor, republican; Sec
ond district, NJ. G.. Gam, democrat; Third
district, Durburow, democrat; Fourth
district, Newberry, democrat; Fifth dis
trict, Hopkins, republican,; Sixth district,

derson, republican; Eighth district, Hill,

publican; Tenth district. Post, republi-
can; Eleventh district Cable, democrat; J;
Twelfth district, Wike, democrat;
Thirteenth district, Springer, democrat;
Fourteenth district, Scott, democrat; Six
teenth district, Fithean, democrat; Seven
teenth district Lane, democrat; Eigh-
tcenth district Williams, democrat
Twentieth district, Smith, republican.
The republicans who have been de-
feated are Mason in the Third, Adams in
the Fourth, Gest in the Eleventh, Rowell
in the Fourteenth and Cannon in the
Fifteenth--a gain Of five for the demo-
Gratis.
The greatest surprise Of the congress
sional vote appears TO have been in those
districts where the democratic candidates
were endorsed by the Farmers Mutual
Benefit association, as the republicans
appear 10 have undercstimated the vote
OF this organization. In two districts OF
the state, however, the republican candi-
dates themselves had the endorsement Of
the Farmers Mutual Benefit association,
but IL was not sufficient 10 secure their
election.
