Later Spokane county returns
from the larger republican pre-
cincts begin to show much great
err republican majority in Spokane
county than was first estimated.
Republicans this afternoon claim
that the county will give Taft a
majority of 5000 to 1000.
Late returns also indicate the
election of Judge Hinkle to the
superior bench over Judge Richard
son by majority of $500 to 1000.
The indications point to the prob
able election Of Captain John Gray
and Lester P. Edge, democrats, in
the Fifth legislative district.
]. w. Macarthur, republican, on
whom a hard fight was made, is
elected but his majority is reduced
somewhat.
The closest fight for the county
offices is for assessor. Galbraith
will beat Daniel by about 1900.
Stone, democrat, made the next
best race. The indications are
that Stone is beaten by over
1000.
The balance of. the. republican
ticket is elected by majorities
ranging from $500 up.
In the county ticket, Assessor
Galbraith is running strong against
Jay Daniel, who has failed to carry
even all the democratic precincts.
Poindexter seems to have had a
clean sweep through the city and

BELLINGHAM, Nov, 4.-Miller
G. Scouten, wealthy real estate
dealer, returned home at this
morning and killed himself in front
of his aged and crippled mother.
He was respondent over reverses
and disappointments, which had
been preying on his mind for
months.
He first placed bowl of water
at his mothers feet, went to his
bedroom and returned with re-
volver.
Mamma, goodbye and good
night" he stammered as he stood
in front of her chair. A second
later he shot himself in the right
ear and fell at his mothers feet.
Mrs. Scouten hobbled to the tele-
phone and called the police. Scou-
ten died three hours later at a
hospital without regaining con.
seriousness.

KERN IN LINE
FOR SENATE

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 4.--Kern,
defeated candidate for the vice
presidency, will probably go to the
United States senate, succeeding
Hemenway. According to returns
today, though Taft carried tho
state by 5000 to 10000, incomplete
returns indicate that Marshall
(democraD for governor has ma
jority of 10000 to 10000.
1t seems assured that the legis-
lature will be democratic. The
movement for election of Kern to
the senate has already started.

result. He says the legislature

ticket were beaten.
Shallenberger is probably win

1t is thought the selection of

kind for many republicans who,
while expecting to carry the coun-
ty, thought the result would be
close. The various elements that
democrats had counted on for
great gains seem to have been
without result and as a rule the
regular party strength was
recorded.
Spokane county expressed its
preference for the republican ticket
by majority greater than was
expected. In the ante-election
forecasts republicans claimed the
county by from 5000 to 1000 on
the national ticket and the returns
thus far received show that this
majority or better will be given.
.Gosgroye for governor will run
slightly behind Taft but will carry
the county by much larger ma
jority than predicted. Poindexter
for congress seems to be running
along with Taft and Cosgrove.
The indications are that the en-
tire republican county ticket will
be elected by majorities ranging
from $500 to $500.
The only contests are in the race
for the superior bench and for the
two representatives from the Fifth
legislative district.
The proposed amendments to
the state constitution lost out in
the county but the proposed plan
of township government is adopted.
The support that democrats ex-
pected to receive among the labor
ing men seems not to have mate
rallied, as the returns show that
the labor vote divided along party
lines.
A noticeable feature of the re-
suit is the growth of the socialist
vote, which in some precincts
equaled one third of the democratic
vote. If the ratio of socialist gain
continues they may be able to poll
sufficient votes to be permitted to
get representation on the next
primary ballot. The socialists
seem to have made their gains
chiefly among the workingmen. on
whom the democrats counted for
greatly increased vote.
