GOV. MICKEY RFP6DIATED.
Nebraska Defeats Republican Cow
ernor but Gives Its Electoral Vote
to Roosevelt BY 10000.


Omaha, Neb, Nov. s.--Nebraska will
give Roosevelt a plurality Of nearly
or quite 10000. George W. Berge, the
fusion candidate for governor, is prob
ably elected by plurality OF from
5000 to 5000. At least four out Of the
six congressman will be republicans
and It Is believed the legislature will
also have q republican majority. That
body will elect United States senator
to succeed Senator Charles H. Diet
rich. In the Second and Third dis
tricts the result on congressman Is
still in doubt, but Congressman Hitch
cock and D. q. McKillip. both demo-
Gratis, had q slight lead and both were
claiming election.

Probability That the Democratic
Congressman from Kansas CITY
Went Down with the Slide.

Kansas City, Mo-, Nov. 9.-The coun-
ty went about 1900 in favor OF the
democrats. The city went about 5000
against them. Folk was the only DEM
ocratic state candidate who received
q majority, getting about 1000 to his
credit. President 7Roosevelt swep
everything before him. There was no
Disgusting the fact that the republic
ans, like the democrats, were amazed
at the fact that Circuit Judges Doug
lass, Slower and Gibson were defeat
ed. There was little less surprise that
Congressman Cowherd had bit the
dust, buried under 1000 votes at the
very least, whereas for IA years he has
been receiving maiorities. So strong
was Mr.. Cowherd regarded by himself,
as we'll as by his friends, that he did
not even come home to campaign.
