sible exception of Unit for county

In the Fourth district the Omaha
district, the reelection OF Judges Day,
Estelie and Baxter and the election
Of Messrs. Redick and Troup seems
assured. Judge Dickinson. the only
candidate on the non partisan ticket,
who seems to stand any show OF being
elected on complete returns, Is In some
quarters pushing Mr.. Sears closely,
while in others he Is pushing Mr. SUIT

the advantage of Sears, and II seems
safe to say now that Sears will be the
low man on the republican ticket and
may have been defeated by Dickinson.
