Oliver p. Ensley has been elected treas
urer of Marion county by clear majority
of 1l2 over August NJ. Kuhn. Chairman
Charles N. Elliott. of the Republican coun-
ty committee. made this statement this
morning at l o'clock:
Every precinct in Marion county has
been heard from and Ensleys majority is
112 These figures were reported first by
the returns furnished by the inspectors.
They have been reported also by the off,
cially appointed watcher, and in every
case verified by comparison with the GER
tificate of at least one other election off,
GERS in the precinct.
'The figures were then gone over by the
adding machine and there is no chance
for any diminution of Mr.. Ensley's ma
jority He is elected by at least 1l2. IL is
not so large that of some others on the
ticket, but it is a clear majority. an honest
one and Mr.. Ensley will be the next treas
urer of Marion county"
The returns will be canvassed this morn
| ing at 10 o'clock by the inspectors who
compose the canvassing board in the Cir
cult Courtroom. The Republican county

1t is known that prominent Republican,
attorneys were approached last night by|
friends of Mr.. Kuhn who sought to en-
list their assistance when the returns are
| canvassed this morning. The presumption
follows that Mr.. Kuhn will make a con-
test.
In a short statement made last night
Mr.. Kuhn claimed that he had been elect
ed by majority of more than hundred.
and that there was no need for a contest
Oliver P. Ensley is victorious over August
NJ. Kuhn in the race for county treasurer
in probably the most sensational political
fight known in this county in recent years.
With returns in from every precinct in the
county Enseys plurality is known to be liz.
Returns are complete for the city. over
streets plurality in Indianapolis for repre-
sentative is 4.2Ss by unofficial count. Ems
ley's $50.
On account of the slowness with which
returns have come in no accurate estimates
have been made as to the result of the vote
on the State ticket. Overstreets plurality
will exceed Storms's. 1t is believed. and the
other candidates on the State ticket will
trail behind not by largely decreased plu-
ralities.
