ELECTION RESULTS.
Summary of the Ballots Cast on Tuesday.

Summary OF the Ballots cast on Auesoay.
Despite the rainy gloomy weather that
prevailed Tuesday, 455 ballots were
brought to the City Hall for the state
and county candidates besides % women
who braved the elements and were per-
mitted to cast their votes for educational
candidates. The presence of women at
the polls was new feature in politics
and about the only incident that re-
lieved the monotony of dull and unlnter-
ing day at the election booth. AS COM
pared with two years ago the vote cast
showed falling off Of about 70, and a
gain of 80 over that of the last otf-year
election, four years ago. The result
which is given below reveals some sur
prises to people who make sure election
predictions. It was nearly an even
stand off which party suffered most from
the slashing of the tickets, and yet IN
the aggregate the republican vote for
governor shows loss of 2l3 votes over
that cast two years ago when Laf'ollette
received 268 plurality as against 80. On
the other hand the democratic vote on
governor shows a net loss Of SO over that
of four years ago when Sawyer carried
the city by 49, The woman vote shows

cal views as we'll as the men folks. Here
