to $50, or possibly 300, votes. va zee
For ongressman-at-laTge, Bailey car

Curtis beat Price 721. These majorities

country vote is counted, but their ma
jorities will still be up in the hundreds.
The fusion forces win in the Eighth
Representative district, have a tie in the
Seventh between Dawes and Fltzwil-
liams, and in the Sixth the Republicans
carry Off the honors. 1t will require the
vote Of soldiers in Manila to decide the
contest in the Seventh district.

trict, was kept from the polls on account
Of his not being able to reach the city

spoken in far western town and could
mot get here. Had he cast his vote Fitz-
williams would have been one ahead.

district. Leedy will carry the country by
a fair majority, Stanley carried Wichita
by 4SS, but was fourth man on the ticket. |
