received at the various headquarters are
radically wrong. the Republicans have
carried the state by a big majority.
up to this hour / have been hopeful
that the first returns were wrong, and
that my later advices would give us the
state. but il is now u o'clock and ! have
not received returns from TO exceed hve
counties. 1t must be that our fellows are
too sick to send telegraTns'
In regard TO the legislature, Chairman
Breidsnthal said: 1.-The house will be
safely Repu 0lican; that is, there
will be no c0ntesting over
the organization Of the house
this time / don't know whether the list
claimed as Republican members Of the
house is correct OF not, but suppose it Is
all right
As I said I have no returns. and can't
say as to the Congressional districts. but
] still have hopes that Jerry Simpson IN
the Seventh aud VIM Baker in the Sixth
are elected"
At Republican headquarters today
there is as joyful crowd Of politicians
as could be found anywhere.
If the ratio keeps up 10 the returns re-
ceived up to noon today the Republican
state ticket Will have a plurality of
81, 900.
Secretary Bristow says: "We have
elected the entire state ticket, the entire
congressional delegation and almost 100
members Of the legislature
I'VE have elected every memb Of the
legislature in the Second Congressional
district and all but one in the First,
Third. Fourth and Fifth districts. It Is
a most com plete victory"
At 9 o'clock this morning, Attorney
General John 7. Little conceded the cleo
tiOn Of the Republican state ticket
To = STATE JOURNAL reporter he said !:
cit looks to me like Kansas has gone
Repu blican along with the rest of the
country. When we went to bed last
night, or rather this morning, Breiden-
thai refused to cOncede anything but
am inclined to think the general unrest
and demand that something be done
has controlled the election in Kansas as
in other states. 1t simply means that
the party which now goes into power
must do something for the relief Of the
people and that quickly or the people
will rise up in their might and get what
they want"
Al ~ . CLOCK tnlS morning state Sena-
tor ". E Sterne Of the Republican state
central comm ittee, said. There IS abso-
lutely no doubt about the election Of the
entire state ticket and if the present
ratio Of gains keep up we will have 3d.
600 to 10000 plurality.
sour returns from the Seventh district
indicate the election Of Chester /. Long
over Jerry Simpson by about 800 ma
jOrity. and if the gains in the Sixth dis
trict keep up Judge Ellis viii be elected
to congress
"Even Ellis county which gave Lewell-
ing 436 plurality two years ago has gone
Republican and the Sixth district, about
which we have had 50 much doubt,
seems to be coming into line.
