CHICAGO, Nov. s.-Ths revision OF
election returns show that the Ropub-
licans elected their entire judicial
ticket, with the possible exception of
Kraft, with Judge Gary in the lead.
Kraft was identified to some extent in
the socialist movement.
The Republicans showed general
gains throughout the city and county
over the presidential vote Of last year,
and in addition, Gary. who presided at
the Haymarket anarchists trial. and
who was opposed by Governor Altgeld's
influence. received many DemocrAtic
votes, putting him considerably shead
Of his ticket.
The board of county commissioner
will be mixed one.
Gary's plurality is estimated ct 8. 1000,
although enthusiastic Republicans
place it as high as $4,000. with the re-
mainder of the Republican ticket prob
ably from 1900 to 1000 behind Gary'I

DO ANIMALS REASON?


A few years ago the person who might

human beings possessed reasoning powers
would have been considered guilty of
rank hcresy, says the Philadelphia Led

there are Thousands who have been
driven to the belief That the Creator has
not bestowed the divine Hight" upon
man alone, but upon animals as well,
even insects coming in for n share of
that force which is II grade higher than

public examples which show that that
class of animal life which has been
designated as the lower ORDERS when
