FOR BRYAN.
Missourfs Electoral Vote WIN BE
Cast for the Nebraskan.

ocratic and the entire state ticket Is
elected according to the returns re-
ceived up to midnight by at least 3O.-
600. The returns have been very slow
and very meager, but in every county
precinct there have been democratic
gains and this will offset any gains
that may have been made by the re-
publicans in the towns. Chairman
Cook, of the democratic state central
committee, said at 10 o'clock: ST cannot
give any figures, but 1 know that
every man on the state ticket has been
elected, and that Bartholdt, in the
Tenth district, is the only republican
congressman elected" Bryan has run
ahead of the state ticket in almost all
the counties, and his majority is sew
eral thousand more than that of the
men on the state ticket. 1t seems that
Stephens has run somewhat behind
the others upon the state ticket
Democrats claim the election of
Richard Giles for congress in the First
district by 5000
In the Second district Bodine, the
democratic candidate is undoubtedly
elected to congress.
In the Third district Mr.. Dockery
easily succeeds himself Returns from
Clinton, Clay, Ray, DeKalb, Davies
and Caldwell counties and scattering
precincts in other counties in the dis
trict indicate increased democratic
gains.
In the Fourth district Cochran (dem.)
defeats Congressman Crowther. The
returns are somewhat meager, but
seem to indicate that Cochran carried
the rural counties. Crowther carried
ST. Joseph by about 1000.
In the Fifth district William s. Cow
herd (dem.) is elected over Neff (rep.)
by probably 2, 500 majority. Republic
ans carried Kansas City b. small plu
rality. but Neff ran behind the ticket
In Kansas City Robert E. Lewis ran
ahead of Mckinley.
SiXty-eight precincts in Missouri
outside of the city of ST. Louis give
Bryan 12,15e; Mckinley, 1925. Fifty
precincts give Stephens 9,44O; Lewis,
$3.50. Capital removal, yes, 2,993; no,
5,277. Fourteen wards complete in
city of ST. Louis gives Bryan, 1,o93
plurality over Mckinley. 1t was
claimed by the local democratic lead
ers that the official count of the city
will show that the repu blican
majority in the city will not be more
than 10000. If this is the case it
will increase the democratic majority
to more than the estimate given. The
republican managers, like the demo
upon which to base an estimate of the
state. They acknowledge, however,
that the state is democratic, and, al
though they claim to have faint hopes
of Lewis, offers of odds on Stephens
go without takers.
Indications are that Bryan has
carried Jasper county by 1000, gain
of g. 200; Daviess county by 500, a gain
over 1894; Cole county by about 100,
democratic gain; Lafayette county by
1000 democratic gain; Carroll county
by 800, democratic gain of 400; John
son county by 500; Nodaway county by
500. democratic gain; Pettis county
by 300, including city of Sedalia, a dem
ocratic gain; Vernon county by 2,2o0,
fusion gain of 400; Barton county by
500, democratic gain; Dade by 800;
Andrain by 1850; Bates by
about 1900, a big democratic
gain; Atchison by small plurality;
Greene and city of Springfield; Rails
by 1000, a big democratic gain; Macon
by a small majority; Clay by $500,
bigtdemocratic gain; Cooper by small
majority; Ray by 1000, a democratic
gain
Mckinley probably carried Grundy
county by 1000, slight gain over 1892;
Adair county by 100; Holt county by
600; Benton by 400.
In great mum Der of counties Lewis
(rep.), for governor, is ahead of Nc
Kinley. The vote on capital removal
is very incomplete, and may not be
known until Thursday. So far as
heard, the voting is against Sedalia.
The vote on other amendments is not
known
In ST. Louis the voting was very
slow. After the polls had been closed
21z hours but one precinct out of 1926
in the city had been heard from. It
was the third precinct of the Sixth
ward and the judges had a row over
counting the ballots which re-
suited in sealing up the ballots and
taking them to the election commits
sioners' office. 1t was said Gov. Stone
was dissatisfied with the work of
democratic police commissioners in St.
Louis and had threatened to remove
them Crooked work was charged in
a number of precincts
In the Eleventh district Joy is de-
feated for congress s.
In Kansas City 81 out of So city pre-
cincts give Mckinley 4, 1916 and Bryan
4,I51. At the same ratio Mckinley
would carry the city by 1880 majority.
Returns from II out of the 81 pre-
cincts of Jackson county outside
of Kansas City give Bryan 1,794 and
Mckinley 632. The same ratio main
tanned throughout the country pre-
cincts would give Bryan a
majority outside of Kansas
City of about 1000. The vote on coun-
ty candidates varies considerably from
that cast for the head of the ticket
Returns SO far received, therefore, in
