NEXT SPEAKER Is
FROM MONROE CO.
so THE PEOPLE OF NATE KEN
DALL's DISTRICT ARE NOW
BELIEVING
Other Candidates for Place at the
Head Of the House are Defeated
Discrepancy in the Supervisor Re-
turns-Lucas County Returns.

Abba. Nov. 9.-The election returns
came into this county this year the
slowest ever known in the history OF
elections. All over the county there
was scratching galore, making 1t a dill
ficult matter for the judges and clerks
to get i'll on time. The result on pcr'
lions Of the ticket will not be known In;
this county until the county board
makes the official canvass next Mon
day An instance is the vote on mem
her of supervisors in the second DIS
trict. 1t was given out that Mr.. Maddy
had majority over Mr.. Coughlin OF
rs. This was based on the return as
given on the face of the envelope.
Last night when parties were in from
that district they said 1t is all wrong
and Mr.. Maddy is only elected by
majority of nineteen votes and they
give the figures as different than those
which have been returned The claim
| is made that in the hurry and noise at
| tendant upon the election the judges
simply made the wrong figures. Re-
publicans are, however, feeling good,
for it is the first time in the history of
the precinct that a republican has ever
been elected. The other county Off
GERS are safe beyond any hope from
the democrats of changing. Represen-
tative N. r. Kendall was elected by
the largest majority, receiving a ma
jority OF 1,752 The people of Monroe
county expect to see Mr.. Kendall now
elected speaker of the next house.
The other candidates for that place
were all defeated at the election and
it leaves Mr.. Kendall as the only avow-
ed candidate.
