braska to-day, with the exception of
Omaha. The main issue in most Of the
smaller places was license, and the re-

While party politics cut little figures
in the smaller towns, yet republican
gains are noticed all over the state, es-
pecially in the cities, several democrat
ic strongholds going republican.
South Omaha, for the first time in its
history, elects republican mayor, A.
r. Kelly being the successful candidate
by 300 plurality. The republicans also
elect a treasurer, all four councilmen
and two out of three members of the
school board. There were three tickets
in the field. Last year Ensor, dem,
was elected mayor by twelve hundred
majority.
Lincoln gives the largest republican
majority for years and makes clean
sweep on the local ticket. Crete, for
years democratic, gives republican
majority O'Neill and Ashland are also
republican. Up to midnight few of the
smaller places have reported any demo-
cratic or fusion gains.

Of esteem from the members Of the
