DIDN'T RUN AHEAD.
Judge David Martins Vote Not
Larger Than Others.
A Large AUTHORIZATION Senti-
ment Shown in Kansas.
FUSION IN WICHITA.
1t Carries the Entire Ticket
With One Exception.
The Total Vote in Kansas Was
About 100000.

Inc unomclaI returns from eighty OF
the one hundred and five counties
in Kansas indicate that the total voue
polled in the State is in the neighbor-
hood of $780, 900. Judge David Martin,
who was elected to be chief justice,
did not run ahead of his ticket, as was
expected. The principal plank in the
platform of Charles K. Holiday, the
Independent candidate for chief JUS
tice, was resubmission, and nearly
everybody who voted for him did SO
as an expression of resu omission SEN
timent, therefore, if he received rs, 900
votes, and these are the figures claimed
by his friends, it shows a pretty
strong anti-prohibition sentiment. 1t
is not likely that all who favor re-
submission voted for Holiday, for,
according to the returns, between
20, 900 and 80, 900 who voted tor county
officers did not vote on the chief
justiceship.

one being elected in every county,

lican. w. P. billiard, Populist candi-
date for district judge, was defeated
in the Fort Scott district. The Re-
publicans claim the election of Moore
in the Abilene district and of Martin
in the Hutchinson district. If these
claims are right the Democrats lose
one and gain two, the Populists gain
none and the Republicans lose one.
