AT THE POLLS.
Voters Express Their Choice In Michigan,
Ohio and Parts OF Illinois and Iowa.

DETROIT, Mich, April AN election
was held throughout the state Monday
for Judge OF the supreme court and
two regents of the state university.
There were four tickets in tho field
republican, democratic, prohibition and
peoples Ever since the tickets were
nominated an active and aggressive
campaign was carried on by the ad-
herents of each party and much inter-
est is shown in the result of the vote
For justice Frank A. Hooker was the
republican nominee and George H.
Durand his opponent The republican
nominees for regents were Frank w.
Fletcher and Herman Kiefer; Robert
f. Bunker and Henry A. Harmon were
their democratic opponents. In addi-
ton candidates for judges of the cir
cult courts and school commissioners
were voted for in the different counties
throughout .the state. Municipal Off
GERS were chosen in all cities and
towns.
In this city some 5000 women had
registered and almost that number had
cast their votes for county school com
| missioner and member of the school
board. Although the tickets We're
small and comparatively easy to count,
nothing of definite nature is
known of the result at mid
| night Republicans claim the cleo
ton of Hooker for supreme court
justice by 10000 plurality. The re-
turns from the state are very meager,
but enough has been received to make
it sure that not more than a two-thirds
vote has been polled and that the re-
publicans have suffered 10 per cent.
more loss than their opponents.
In Bay City, Saginaw and Detroit the
religious side of politics has cut a con-
siderable figure, the Patriotic Sons of
America being arrayed solidly against
all Catholics. In the two first named
towns that issue predominated over all
others and the fight was very bitter.
From returns received re publicans
win in the following towns:
Ishpeming Negaunee Battle Creek, Kalama-
ZOO Grand Rapids, Adrian, Ann Arbor, Au.
burn, Big Rapids, Cadillac, Charlotte, Cold
water Decatur, Flint, Grand Haven, Hills
dale, Iron Mountain, Lapere, Lansing, Manis-
tee, Muskegon Niles, Saginaw, St Ignace, St
Joseph and West Bay City.
