pushed by the exertions of their OPP
ponents, the republicans in the state
election Tuesday reelected Gov. John Il.

as last year, $1,000. The rest of thestate
ticket was also elected and the party

OF two to one in the legislature Of 1908.

licans were also successful in retaining
control of the governors council, which
will be composed Of five republicans and
one democrat.

Omaha, Nov. AT 10 o'clock the re-
suit in Nebraska is in doubt, although
returns received at that hour indicate

democrats expect to give them good
plurality. At republican headquarters
the leaders admit they have had losses,
but do not expect them to result in the
defeat of Judge Barnes for supreme
Judge.
