I SOUTH OMAHA NEWS. !


Generally speaking interest in the cleo
ton Just over centered in the head of the
ticket and the race for clerk of the dis
trict court and sheriff, but any number Of
people here were deeply interested in the
local returns and consequently sought in
formation from the newspaper offices. The
fact that South Omaha was electing a police
judge this fall, which is out of the Or
dinary and the conditions surrounding the
placing of the names of two candidates on
the ticket caused many anxious inquiries
as to the result of this race. Patrick King,
one of the best known residents of the city
and a democrat, was a candidate for the
office of police judge against w. S. Bah
cock, the present incumbent. Petitions were
filed by both these candidates, as 1t is only
by a recent decision of the supreme court
that the office of police judge was declared
a county instead of a municipal Office
Judge Babcock had only seven days in
which to make his canvass and he certainly
must be gratlfed at the result, as his oppo-
nents majority Is only SO votes. For
King there we're polled 1,565 votes and for
Babcock 1,476 difference of SO. In case
there Is no contest over this result Mr..
King will take his seat in January along
with the balance of the county officers.
Patrick C. Caldwell was elected a justice
of the peace, his vote being 1926 Jacob
Levy was reelected by a vote OF 1929. For
constables Patrick Cahill and James
Brabits were chosen. The first had a vote
of ] 1893 and the latter 1857 to HE credit,
Lou Etter, one of the best known re-
publicans in the city, was elected assessor
for the First ward by vote of $780, His
opponent Ralph Hall, received 4SO votes.
John Zalondek was chosen assessor in the
Second ward His total vote was 1885,
There were six candidates for assessor
in the Third ward and C. OBrien won out
with a vote of 1913. In the Fourth ward the
interest in the selection OF an assessor ap-
peared to be greater than the choice of a
Judge OF the supreme court. Many bal
lots were cast for assessor alone and this
action tended to the handling of many bal
lots with but small results. Joseph Car
rolls wins the prize with vote Of 1876.
City Treasurer Frank Broadwell, now
clerk of the district court-elect, was busy
all yesterday afternoon receiving the con-
gratulations of his friends.

REPUBLICAN SCHOOL BOARD
Returns Incomplete, but Enough
known to Assure Safe Election
of Entire Ticket.

While returns are missing from seventeen
out OF seventy-sx precincts on the school
board election. those that are in assure be-
yond possibility OF change the election Of
all the republican candidates. Most OF the
missing precincts are out because the boards
OF election failed TO make an abstract of
the returns before sealing the ballots and
books, In all precincts in which that was
done the figures will not be known until the
board meets to canvass the ballots, which
will not be until next Monday night. Refer
once to the returns from those districts for
last election show that the republican ma
jorities will doubtless be increased when the
ballots are opened and counted. The re-
turns are all In from the districts in which
the fusion leading man, S. L. Kostoryz drew
his greatest strength, yet he is more than
300 votes behind the lowest man on the re-
publican ticket and almost 600 behind the
leading republican candidate. The low man
on the fusion ticket is almost 1000 behind
the republican fifth man.

tire are +. w Bandhauer George II. Hess,
