JEFFERSONvILLE. Ind, Nov. 5.-The
returns received at the respective head
quarters UP TO this evening from all but
seven OF the thirty-six precincts of the
county show the election of the entire
Democratic ticket by pluralities ranging
from 200 10 500 votes. The Republicans
made an excellent fight and but for the
actions of the younger colored element in
refusing TO vote would have elected several
of their candidates. Schoonover for secre-
tary of state carries the county over
Storms by 900. The Democrats also elected
their entire township ticket. Zenor runs
ahead of the state ticket. a vote was
taken on the proposition to purchase three
miles of the Hamburg pike leading to this
city, but the result Is In doubt The aver
age plurality OF the Democratic ticket is
much below the claims that were made be-
fore the election and shows a decided Re
publican gain as compared with two and
four years ago.

ANDERSON, Ind, Nov. 5.-The Repub
lican victory of Tuesday grows with each
return from the out townships. The DEM
ocrats, till late last night, claimed they
would defeat Mcclure. and probably get
another candidate, but to-days reports
have simply dumfounded them. The re-
ports are complete from seventy-seven of
the eighty-six precincts in the county.
The result follows: Storms (Rep.). S.1n;
Schoonover Dem.). s.392; for Congress.
Cromer Rep), IN; Truesdale Oem.),
6,759; joint senator Hendee (Rep). 1851;
Mellett Dem.), 63S7: representative, Jack
ley (Repl. 1854: Zerface Dem). 6273;
Mathews (RepD. 1887; Phipps Dem.), $3.50:
joint representative, Warner (Rep.), 1866;
Cox Dem.), 6.253: county ticket, Judge Nc
Clure (Rep). 1873: Ellis (Dem.), 6.726. The
rest of the county ticket is about the same.
Not a single one will fall below 100 when
the official canvass is complete.
ELWOOD, Ind, Nov. 5.-Complete re-
turns from Pipecreek township on the state
ticket show that Storms (Rep) carries the
township by 49, over Schoonover, the total
vote being Storms, 1903; Schoonover /, 46S
This is about the same as the Republican
plurality of two years ago. Four years
ago the Democrats carried the township
The count on the county ticket is running
about the same. and indicates that the
full county and township tickets have car
ried the county by from 800 to 500 majority.

Schmitt (Dem.) $3.50.
Nearly one-third Of the precinct reports
are still missing and only estimates can be
made on the final result Hemenway's plu-
rality probably will be $500 in Vanderburg
county. He carries Gibson, Pike, Warrick
and Spencer and his plurality in the district
probably will be 1900. Spencer carries only
Posey, and that by less than 200. The Re-
publicans are as much astonished over the
result as the Democrats.
One of the most astonishing features Of
the election in Vanderburg county yester-
day was the large Socialist vote. Forty
seven precincts out of seventy-eight give
the Socialist ticket 1.033. At this rate the
Socialist vote in the county will be over
400. Two years ago the vote was less
than 300.

LONDON PRESS COMMENT.


LONDON, Nov. 6--Almost all the papers
this morning discuss the elections in the
United States. The Daily Telegraph dweiis
upon the benehcent change which has come
over the relations OF the United States and
Great Britain. with the result that national
feelings no longer have any influence in the
struggle.
In editorial articles the opinion is unani-
mously expressed that President Roose-
welt largely owes his personal triumph to
having satisfactorily ended the coal strike;
that the future depends on whether the
leaders OF ono party the other have "A

Morgan County.

MARTINSvILLE. Ind, Nov. 5-The Re-
publicans of Morgan county are particu-
larly we'll pleased with the result of their
work at the polls yesterday. The entire Re-
publican ticket-State, local and township
received pluralities ranging from LIS to 800.
according to unofficial returns up to this
hour. and Ii is thought that these figures
will be increased rather than lowered when
the canvassing board makes its returns.
The head of the State Republican ticket
will receive the highest vote-320 to $50 ma
jority. For Congress Holidays plurality
Is $50 or more, while Presley Smith, for
joint senator of Morgan and Marion coun-
ties, and Emmett +. Branch, for repre-
sentative of Morgan county, will each re-
ceive in the neighborhood of $50 plurality.
The principal fight was made by the Demo-
Gratis to elect clerk of the Morgan Circuit
Court and county auditor. Joseph E. Over
ton, of Mooresville, was elected by 2i0 plu-
rality, while Barclay r. Johnson, of this
city, defeated John s. Whitaker. the pres
ent auditor, by lbs. Mr.. Whitaker was
elected by the Democrats four years ago by
2S3 plurality

Miami County.

PERU, Ind, Nov. 5.-Two precincts out
of forty-five are yet to be heard from in
Miami county. and results on many offices
will have to await the official canvass on
Thursday. AS it now appears the Repub-
licans overcame the large regular Demo
cratic majority and elected Frank Bearss
representative by 400. Masters treasurer by
800 and Casper commissioner by twenty
five. The contest between Abram Shilling
(Rep) and Frank Skinner Dem.) for sheriff
is close and both sides claim the victory.
The Democrats head the state ticket with
a majority of about 800 and give the same
to Judge Nelson for Congress and William
Johnson and Lewis Conner for joint repre-
sentatives. The Democrats have elected
Joseph Tillett judge and Claude Andrews
prosecuting attorney by about 100, William
Augur clerk by 800. Clarkson Macy auditor
by 900 and the other officers by small plu-
ralitieS.

NOBLEsvILLEl Ind, Nov. 5.-Unofficial
returns show that Storms carried Ham
ilton county by a.644 and c. B. Lands.
for Congress, by. $50. The scratching on
Lands was in rtost of the precincts Of
the county. Thesvote of Sheridan was a
surprise, as 1t WIS generally conceded to
be Lands stronghold. He suffered there
more than any other place in the county.
All the county tisket was elected by good
big majorities. fhere was a falling off
of the vote from that of two years ago of
over Zoo votes. "A part of this, probably
200 to 800 votes, gan be accounted for by
the removal of several factories from
Jackson and Adams townships. The rest
were stay at-honTss.

Union County.

LIBERTY, Ind, Nov. SELECTION results
in Union county, with one exception, are
very satisfactory to Republicans. There
was a great deal of scratching and the
Democrats took advantage Of the desire
of Republicans and quite a following of
Democrats who desired to elect OByrne

trict to trade in their candidate for county
clerk but did not succeed, as the Repub-
lican andidate-Smelser-will have plur-
atty of q. O'Byrne. for judge, carries the

Grant County.

MARION, Ind, Nov. 5.-Nothing will be
known of the official vote of Grant county
until the meeting of the board tomorrow.
Everything is Republican, the only ques-
ton being as to what the plurality is. The
Republican plurality is estimated, however,
at 400. The vote of the Soldiers Home
in giving Lands such large plurality was
a great disappointment to the Democrats.
John c. Nelson, being a veteran, was ex-
pected to have some influence, but he only
received about the normal soldier vote.
Landis's plurality is about 800. The So
cialists did not make the gains they had
expected. The Prohibitionists showed con-
siderable strength in the county, making
a substantial gain. They had made a hard
campaign and the result of their work was

until tomorrow, when the inspectors meet

fourths of the sixty-six precincts in the
county have been heard from. conserva-
tive estimate based on the present returns

Stormss plurality. 1900. For Congress
Cromer will have about $500, Truesdale
$500, Cromer's plurality, $500. The entire
county ticket went through by the largest
Republican majority ever given in Della
ware county. Leaders of both parties were
surprised at the Republican gains made in
every precinct. The result is regarded as
an Endorsement of Representative Cromers
record in Congress. The much-talked-of
opposition did not materialize and Mr..
Cromer goes back for his third term with
a largely increased majority.
The county ticket elected is: Representa-
tives, Oliver Carmichael and j. V. Baird;
