The State Journal is glad that it is
printed in a county that breaks all its
records in giving Roosevelt 5000 ma
jority, and at same time repudiates the
Republican candidate for state treasur-
er by little or no majority and thus at
one swoop sets its approval on the
great president and places the heel Of
public disapproval on corruption and
carelessness in handling the state
funds.
Up to o'clock this afternoon, only
20 out of the "a election precincts in
the city of Topeka have sent in returns
to the office of the election commits
sioner, and these 20 precincts give the

had not reported their vote were the
ond, the third of the Third and the
second of the Fourth. The judges and
clerks at some of the election precincts
