The Twentieth Kansas soldiers had an
opportunity to vote here before the Indiana
sailed for Manila The soldiers voted as fol-
lows for the principal state officers:
For governor-W. +. Stanley (Rep.), 352;
John II. Leedy (Fusion), ia.
For associate iustice-William r. Smith,
353; S. II. Allen, ia.
The vote on the rest of the ticket ran about
the same. All the Republican candidates
for congress, with the exception of Reeder,
received majority. The count had not
been finished when the Indiana sailed, and
the result will have to be cabled from Ma
nila.
Van Wyck is believed to have received
good majority of the votes cast by the New
York soldiers yesterday. Each voter sealed
his own ballot. They will all be sent to the
secretary of state of New York to be opened
by him and sent to the various counties to
be counted with the local vote. For this rea-
son the votes were not counted here, and re-
suits are only estimated.
There were in all about $50 votes cast. OF
these, it is estimated that Roosevelt got 200
and Van Wyck $3.50. Roosevelt's remarks
about the volunteers lost him great many
votes among the soldiers. Only about 40
per cent. of the soldiers voted. In fact.
there was comparatively little interest
shown in the election.
