FOLKS APPOINTMENTS HERE.


FOLKS APPOINTMENT HERE.
He Will Name New Election and Po-
lice Boards and Coal Oil Inspector.
KANSAS CITY.-The greatest inter-
est for politicians centers in the ap-
pointments that Mr.. Folk must make
here. He will appoint a new board of
election commissioners and two police
commissioners. The police commits
sioners must be confirmed by the SEN
ate. Mr.. Folk will also appoint a coal
oil inspector.
The first noticeable fact about the
election is that thousands of Demo
Gratis must have stayed at home while
Republicans did not. 1t is estimated
and the Republicans gained per cent
in the state, That may be true, for
when a county chairman wires figures
he shows a heavy falling off in the
Democratic vote, sometimes slight
reduction in the Republican vote, but
often an increase. Take Jackson
county's neighbor county, Cass. Where
Bry ans vote was $3.50 and McKin1ey's
2,162, Parker's vote is reported 2,420.
Roosevelt's 2,049. Folks vote ran up
to 2,708, while Walbridge's fell down
to 1929. Lafayette, usually 1,20O Dem
ocratic, reports Folk 189 plurality,
Cook II and Parker &c. Linn gave
Vol hrid
Bryan had carried Linn county four
years ago. The safe old Democratic
county of Macon gave Roosevelt $3.50,
Parker 1888, Walbridge 1881, Folk g.
$50. Moniteau county's pluralities are
good samples: Parker 5, Folk SO,
Rubey 25, Cook IA, Allen %, Oglesby
Sc, Timmonds 10, Woodson 10, Cow
gill %. The Republican state ticket,
except Wa1bridge, runs close behind
Roosevelt, although Oglesby leads the
rest.
Joe" Mccoy, at Republican head
cincts sent by the judges and clerks.
They show that in the country pre-
cincts the Republican state ticket, ex-
cept Walbridge, nearly always ran
along with Roosevelt, with here and
there a vote in a precinct for Oglesby
taken out of the Republican ticket
| and occasionally a Democratic vote
against Cook or Allen. Leaving out
| the cities and large towns, Hadley
| is probably less than 1000 votes be-
hind Roosevelt. In the towns as well
as cities there was an occasional Dem
ocratic ballot for Roosevelt electors
written in, but practically none in the
country. This is the basis of the Re-
publican conclusion that If Roosevelt
has carried the state by $4,000 or
more, Folk is the only Democrat on
the state ticket elected.
1--WE will come to the cities with an
even break on the state ticket except
Wa1bridge and probably 5000 to 5000
lead for Roosevelt" Joseph mccoy,
secretary of the Republican state
committee, said. "Analyze your city
] vote and you have the result Elk
cept as to Roosevelt and Folk, the
three large cities controlled this cleo
ton. Their majorities are the majorf
ties of the successful candidates.
Mccoy has probably as correct in
formation as any one in the state.
BUTTE, MONT, Nov. s.-Montana
is for Roosevelt, returns indicating a
gain by the Republicans of over 80
! per cent over four years ago.
