IN DIFFERENT STATES
Detroit. Mich. April 2-Robert NJ.
Montgomery of Grand Rapids, Repub-
lican, has been elected Justice of the
Supreme Court by about 10000 major
ity, and Frank w. Fletcher of Alpena
and Henry w. Carey of Manistee, Re-
publican candidates for regents of the
State University, have also been elect
ed by majority almost as large.
The vote cast yesterday was light,
except in those cities where there was
a fight on some local issue. There
We're two constitutional amendments
voted on, both of which We're defeated.
One fixed the compensation of state
legislators at 81 900 per term and mile
age, instead of So per day when the
Legislature is in session. as at present,

in the salary of Circuit Court judges
in Bay county.
Grand Rapids, Mich, April 2.-The
Republicans carried the city by 1,20O,
re-electing the city ticket with the ex-
ception of the comptroller, whom the
Democrats probably reelected. Re
publicans gain two aldermen and the
council. Kent county gives the Repub-
lican state ticket $500 majority.
Cincinnati, o.. April 2-Fair weather
prevailed in Ohio yesterday for the
municipal and township elections. The
unusually large vote for April indicat
ed more interest than usual in these
local contests This was due to the fact
that a full state ticket is to be elected
next November, together with mem
bers of the Legislature who will choose
Il successor to Senator Foraker. In
some few localities legislative nominal
tions were made by popular vote. None
show any opposition to Foraker among
the Republicans and there was not
enough action of this kind to indicate
any preference for John II. Mclean,
Tom l.. Johnson or anyone else, as the
Democratic candidate for the senator
ship.
While the Democrats carried the
larger cities and some of the smaller
places, yet the Republicans show
slight gains in the state as whole. In
the three larger cities, Cleveland, Col
umbus and Toledo. the Democrats
show gains. which are offset by Repub-
lican gains in the smaller cities
throughout the state
have had the city government. the
Democrats elect their candidate by a
close margin, while at Cleveland ex-
Congressman Tom l.. johnson Demo-
craD is elected mayor by about 5000
plurality.
