County for Representative.
Looks Like Waggener Had Won
Over John SeatOn.


turns have been received from only three
precincts, but the indications are that
Bailey has carried the county for gov
ernor, while Tom Kelly runs behind the
ticket several hundred The Greason-
Thomas faction of Republicans made
bitter fight on Kelly and openly sup
ported D. H. Heflebower. the fusion
nominee for treasurer. Kelly received
many Democratic votes. but not enough
to bold him up to the balance of the
ticket.
Anthony, Nov. 5.-Returns coming in
SLOW owing to new ballot system. No
country precincts are yet heard from
and only two wards from the city,which
now show about the same vote as two
years ago.
Lyons, Nov. 5-Conservative estimates
give Bailey, 400: Long, 400; Kelly, 200
Entire Republican county ticket is
Republican judge, gives from 800 to 700
majority The Republicans gain in all
precincts heard from.
SALINE.
Salina, Nov. 5.-Up to II o'clock it is
impossible to predict the result on ac-
| count of scratched ballots The vote is
slow coming in and it will be late before
the count in many precincts is compile
| ted. From figures at hand it is imooS-
sible to estimate the vote on any eandi-
date. The Republicans will elect the
majority of officials in Saline county.
DOUGLAS.
/ Lawrence, Nov. 5.-The Republican
state ticket majority here is doubtful.
| The county will have a majority of
about 900, but the figures are unobtain-
able. Barker will be elected to the leg
islature from the Thirteenth district by
400 majority and Stubs in the Four
| tenth district by $50.
/ c. H. Tucker, chairman of the Second
district Republican congressional COM
mittee, estimates that Eowersock's ma
/ jority in this county will be / 900 and
that he will carry every county in the
district except Anderson and that his
majority will be greater this year than
| it was two years ago.
CHAUTAUQUA.
Sedan. Nov. 5.-Chautauqua county
gives Bailey a ma jority of at least 400
and Campbell for congress approx
mately the same. The entire Republic
can county ticket is elected from top
to bottom.
Chanute. Nov. 5--Indications point to
a very light vote, not only in city pre-
cincts, but in country districts. In Cha
mute city the fusion vote is practically
| the same as two years ago, while the
Republican vote shows that many
stayed at home. All returns received at
this hour show Republican victory for
| governor and state ticket on very small
4 majority and division of county offices
between the two parties West Center
Vile township, which gave Bryan eleven
majority in 1900, gives Bailey ten ma
joritv.

for congressman, is not far behind. w

ATCHISON
Atchison. Kas. Nov. 5.-The entire
Republican ticket is probably elected in

T. Waggener, Democrat, is ahead OF
John Seaton, Republican, for repre-
sentative. and Waggener's friends claim
he will win by 200 majority.
Seaton lost his home ward by five
votes. Bailey for governor has probably
carried the county by 400 majority, but
Kelly for state treasurer is far behind
the ticket and may not have ma
jority.
Larned, Kas., Nov. 5.-Reports from
this county, received SO far, show the
entire Republican ticket will be elected
with one or two exceptions. The ma

than two years ago. The Republican

will run away ahead Of his ticket
