NEBRASKA IN DOUBT.
Both Sides Claim the Home State
of Bryan.

of Bryan.
Omaha, Nov. 6--At midnight 200
precincts out of 1911 in the state had
returned results of tOday's election. 30
OF these being from Omaha and Douglass
county. A ma iOrity of them give re-
publican gains which, If they hold good
throughout the state, will indicate a re-
publican plurality of from 1000 to 5000.
However, the fusiOnists say these re-
turns are not significant OF the real re.
suit, and that the outlying districts will
overcome these gains and give the state
| to Bryan by from 5000 to 5000. TIE
result of the vote on the national ticket
will no doubt also determine the vie
tories on the state ticket, both running
very close together.
Although not factor the prohibition
ticket shows a gain over four years
ago. 1t will require a pretty full count
to determine the complexion OF the egis-
lature, and both sides are claiming a
majority on joint ballot.
chairman Hall of the democratic state
central committee was reticent with re-
gard to the result, and refused to give
any hgures. Chairman Lindsay of the
republican state central committee SAID
that all their returns indicated a com
plete republican victory with a plurality
OF from 5000 to 10000 for Mckinley,
with no definite returns on the state
ticket and the legislature.
At = a. IN. 1925 precincts had been
heard from, and with the later returns
come figures which encourage the iu-
siOnists in their avowal that BRYAN will
carry the state by a small plurality
They at least indicate that the early
gains reported for Mckinley will be cut
down materially by returns from the
agricultural districts

Probably for Bryan.
Louisville, Nov. 7.-Incomplete re-
turns from 33 counties outside Of Louis
vile give Beckham for governor $500
majority over Yerkes. Bryan is run
ming little ahead OF Beckham in the
same counties.
One hundred and eghty-five out OF
200 precincts in Louisville and county
give Mckinley a majority over Bryan OF
1927. The same precincts give Yerkes
for governor a majority Of 5000 over
BeCkham.
Mckinley carried Lexington by 1000.
Both parties claim the state.
Delaware is a close state, but repub-
licans say Mckinley has it, conceding
the legislature to the democrats.
Missouri seems to be democratic. but
returns are meager.
West Virginia Is Ours.

o. Dawson, chairman of the republican
state committee, at 1l:3O estimates Ne
Kinley's plurality at 1900 and the
election of all four republican congress
men and a majority of 20 on Joint
ballot in the legislature, insuring the re-
election OF Senator Ekins
Charleston, w. Va, Nov. 6.-Indica-
tions are that Mckinley has carried the
state by 5000, and the republican state
ticket is probably elected, while the dem
Ocrats will have a majority on Joint
ballot in the legislature.

Fargo, n. D., Nov. 6.-Chairman
kleinegen of the democratic state com
mittee comedies the election OF repub-
IIcan electoral and state tickets, with

eral. In 81 out of 120 precincts, Nc
Kinley received 1850. Bryan 1859,
against Mckinley 2638, Bryan 1886,
in 500.
This proportion of loss to democrats
is being sustained by later reports.

and that Stanley will carry the state by
a small majority"
