A Clean Majority,

Although the official canvass has not
yet been made, the completed tabulation
by the secretary of state of unofficial re-
turns of the late election shows that for
the first time since 1883 Nebraska has
given the republican candidate for pres
ident clean majority over the combined
votes cast for all his opponents. Sub
ject to possible slight modification on
the final revision, the vote of Nebraska
on president this year stands:
Mckinley, republican. n.......... l2l 1856
Bryan, fusion ...................ll ia ,0l3
Wooley, prohibition ........... $685.
Barker, mid-rood d............... l,l03
Debs, social labor. or..........,..... $50
While McKinleys plurality on the
face Of these figures is 1872, an easy
example in arithmetic discloses that the
total vote cast for opposing candidates
aggregates only 2l9,62l, as against 12l,
1856 in the republican column, making
an absolute majority for Mckinley OF
1874.
~ CCi0pV tuC iuii VI
this exhibit, it must be remembered
that while in 1896 Bryan's plurality in
Nebraska was close to 1900, similar
addition of party vote would have left
the republicans S046 behind,
Nebraska's electoral vote was cast for
Benjamin Harrison in 1892, but the re-

Had the democrats and populists been
effectively fused in that year they would
have carried Nebraska for their electors

polled %, $50 more votes in Nebraska il
that year than the successful republi

A clean majority in Nebraska of / 10
for Mckinley has more significance ever
than his decisive plurality of 7,372.-

IOWANS FAIL OF VICTORY
Contest with the Northwestern Eleven
Results In u Tie.

Rock Island, Nov. 3O.--The game be-
tween Northwestern university and
the State university of Iowa, played
here yesterday, did not decide the rival
claims of the elcvcns to the football
championship Of the west, the score
being 3 to 8 at the close of heart
breaking contest. The game was wit
messed by 5000 people. While the
score was tie the honors OF the dny
were with Northwestern. The latter
kicked off. Iowa carrying the ball
back to the 4O.yard line. An exciting
contest followed, line and mass plays
being intersperscd with punting by
both teams when they found 1t impos-
sible to advance. Iowa twice tried II
Il touchdown. After 20 minutes play
Iowa punted from center field, North
western carried the ball back to the
G5-yard line. when Eby captured the
ball on tumble and, backed by splcn.
did interference, sprinted to North
westerns goal for a touchdown.
The second half was Il repetition OF
the first. Contrary to expectations
Northwestern showed no weakening
from the effects of the battering re
ceived. Both teams played fast, az
gressivc bail, without decided ad
vantage for either. Iowa made consid
cradle gains by several fake punts an,
plays around the end, but they wer,
outpunted by Northwestern. After -
minutes play Johnson made a place
kick from the 35-yard line and the bal
sailed squarely between the goal posts
defended by Iowa, tieing the score.
