Justice by 5000 to 1000 plurality.
These I 50 precincts gave Barnes S4,-
02S; Sullivan, 2S.26s. The same pre-
cincts two years ago gave Sedgwick
24,s03 and Hollenbeck 27.795. This

World Herald, representing q little
over one-third the vote of the state

tanned over the rest Of the state, would
bring Barnes to Douglas county with
about 1000 less than the 10,940 that
Sedgwick came in with. The Sullivan
lead in Douglas will reduce this 10
about 5000, which will probably rep
resent the Barnes lead when the re-
turns are all in.
The total vote this fall viii be al
most duplicate OF that two yearg
ago. so far number Is concerned fall
ing 10000 short of the 10000 mark.
The republican regents are elected,
their majorities exceeding that OF
Judge Barnes, who ran several thou-
sand behind his ticket.
Omaha, Nov. with only 10
Douglas county precincts missing,
Barnes has 1886: Sullivan, 7,549.

Lincoln. Neb,. Nov. 4.-Based on
returns from 1l5 voting precincts out
side OF Lancaster county tI4incoln)
and Douglas county (Omahal The Re.
publican state central committee made
the claim OF the election of the entire
Republican state ticket by not less
than 10000 plurality This claim is
considered conservative and newspa-
per returns tend to confirm it. The
vote for the 1I6 precincts gave
Barnes lRep.) s,642. Sullivan (fus)
1872. The same precincts two years
ago gave the Republican candidate
9,616. with the fusion s.107. a change
SO slight that It will require q fusion
landslide from an unexpected quarter
to overcome the Republican plurality
OF 10000 OF two years ago. First re-
ports we're all favorable to the fti-
sionists, but the later returns have al
most wiped out the early gains. Lam
caster county will give Barnes 1000
plurality. and this Is expected to or
set Sullivan's expected plurality In
Douglas. Returns from $50 precincts
including part OF Lancaster county,
give Barnes 14.515. Sullivan 1878 a
net Republican loss of 142, or less
than one 10 precinct 1t will re-
quire eight to precinct to overcome
the Republican plurality OF two years
ago on the same relative vote, which
seems to be maintained The Repub-
lican candidates for university regents
are running ahead of Barnes.
II looks as IL the entire Republican
county and judicial tickets In Doug
las county were elected, with the pos
sible exception OF Unit for county
clerk, although complete returns will
be necessary to make sure of this
outcome.
The weather conditions throughout
state were bad, SO the vote Is light.
Returns on district judges through
out the state are slow in coming in.
Republicans claim the election of
Babcock and Reayis ia the First dis
trict.
In the Second district Judge Paul
lessen. republican. was reelected.
In the Third district Judges Lin
coin Frost, A. J. Cornish and e. III.
Holmes, all republicans were re-elect-
ed.
In the Fourth district, the Omaha
district. the reelection Of Judges Day,
Estelle 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 il pushing Mr. Sut-
ton. Sutton, however, seems to have
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.
Fusionists claim the reelection OF
Judges Good and Sornberger. fusion
