NELSON WARD Is DEAD.

Among the crowd of politicians at the
Copeland today there is one who is tax

it is to drop a symoathetic word. This
is a dark day to him. because his son,
a young man of % years. just entering
a life full of promise, lies dead in the
Santa Fe hosoital.
He is Senator r. 3. Ward. of Belle
vile. A little more than three weeks
ago bis son. Nelson J. Ward, was
brought to the Santa Fe hospital from
the south. where he had been employed
by the Santa Fe as a civil engineer. He

was brought to Topeka he has been

VOTE is GROWING.
Now Believed 1t Will Be Nearly
100000.

It looks now as though the total vote
for governor may reach nearly to 2S9, 006,
or be close around there, when the OFF,
cial vote is finally decided. Returns
from 103 of the 105 counties, received by
the secretary of state, give a total of
2S5. 362. The missing counties are Lin
coin and Barber, and the vote in these
two counties is approximately 34ll,
which would bring the total up to 2SS,-
S23
These figures are not official, however,
because in some counties they include
the vote of the soldiers home at Dodge
City. while others do not When the re
turns are all tabulated Chief Clerk
WEitmOre will go through the list ami
check it up with the vote from the sol
dieTs home and add in red ink the SOL
diers' home vote in any counties where
it is missing. This discrepancy is caused
by the fact that some county clerks sent
in their returns to the secretary of state
before they received their soldiers home
vote. while in others they waited for the
veteran vote and included that in their
report to the secretary of state. The
final figure now seems likely to be a lit
tie under 2sS, 000

Under the rules whenever a vacancy
occurs in the government departments
the civil service commission is notified
and certifes three names from the eligi-
BILE list. The eligible list is made up
of those who have passed the civil ser

women than men pass the examina-
