Republicans viii have lis of the $50
members.
The indications are that the Repub-
lican total vote will show decrease
of per cent from two years ago and
that the Democratic total vote will
show loss of about 10 per cent.
The probabilities are that there will
be eighty Republican members in the
house and thirty-five Republican mem
bers in the. senate, a net Republican
gain of ten. 1t seems that this strength
is certain, and it is probable that it will
be increased when all the returns are

Criminal Element Out.

A particularly striking. and to decent
people disgusting, feature of the cleo
ton was the unanimity with which the
criminal element of the city flocked TO
the support of Thompson. Commercial
street and Franklin avenue voted al
most solidly for Thompson and the
ticket he led. This is evidenced by the
returns from the Fifty-first and Fifty
second districts, where the Thompson
pluralities were the largest.
Between 4:45 and Z o'clock the polls
in these districts swarmed with lewd
women. They did not hesitate about
declaring themselves for Thompson.
Most of them were taken to the polls by
Bruce Johnson, negro who runs a
notorious resort on Commercial street.
