in slowly, only forty-five counties out
Of ninety y-eight having completed the
count. In these counties Holcomb, fusion
for supreme judge, got a majority Of

Both tickets this year brought out q
largely increased party vote over last
year, and the total vote will foot mp
something like 100000, about 20, Ooo
more than last year. Party leaders tat-
tribute the result in Nebraska to rBry-
ans personal popularity and the pride
the people feel in having NNebraskan
prominent in the presidential race, and
not to the issue of expansion and mill
tarism raised by Col. Bryan in the cam

majority will not be less than, $4,000.
and may reach 10000. The republi:
cans make no effort to explain the
causes, though. number Of leaders
differ with Bryan in his statement that
it is rebuke to the national admins
tration. They maintain that the fu.
sion gains are over last year, when the
fusionists fell short Of their normal
strength. and they point out the fact
that Holcomb, when he ran for COVER.

Not enough figures have been re.
