1t is stated that the county
attorneys of this state will go
before the next legislature
with a measure combining the
office of county physician and
county coroner, leaving the APP
pointive power in the hands of
the county board of supervisors
for the combined office. The
reasons the county attorneys
give for asking this change is
that under the present elective
system for coroners, the latter
through ignorance, are fire.
quently the greatest obstacle in
the way of the county attorney
gaining conviction in cases Of
crime. This would more par
ticularly obtain in counties
wherein there are cities of
some size and where crime is
rampant. In this county there
is no county physician but the
different doctors do this char
acter of work.

Missouri State Ticket

st. Louis. Mo-, Nov. Missouri,
which last night had apparently gone
Democratic by large majority, is still
in doubt on all but the natinal ticket
and the plurality Of $4,000 for Bryan
which was then indicated, has been
cut by late returns to 10000. Her.
bert Hadley is leading William Cow
herd by 15,042 votes for governor, ac-
cording to incomplete returns from
forty-nine counties, including Kansas
City and the city Of st. Louis.
The complexion Of the next legisla-
ture which will elect successor to
United tSates Senator William Stone
is also in doubt and the Republicans
hope to control that body on joint
ballot In the spectacular fight be-
tween Folk and Senator Stone for the
Democratic senatorial nomination,
the incomplete returns from forty
nine counties, including Kansas City
and st. Louis, give Stone lead Of
$685. over Folk. The returns for the

With returns from Williams, Ward,
Mckenzie, Mercer, Oliver, Adams,
Dunn and Bowman counties still to
come, the contest between c. A. john
son, Republican, and John Burke.
Democrat for governor of North Da-
kota has become the closest ever seen
in the state. Only few hundred
votes now separate the candidates and
not until the returns come from the
counties before mentioned, will the
result of the election be known. At
present Burke leads Johnson by less
than 1000 votes and If the counties
yet to be heard from vote as they have
in past years, this majority will be
wiped out
The returns from the counties of
the eastern and northern parts of the
state show that Burke's support has
fallen off immensely since two years
ago. Ii his vote in the counties not
heard from have fallen off at the same
ratio, or even remains the same as 1t
was two years ago, the chances of G..

good

THE LEGISLATIVE
NENRERS ETErT

The state legislature will be just
as solidly Republican as ever.
This much is shown by the returns
from the state as received by the
Times today. Republican candidates
for the legislature were successful in
all parts of the state, and, If any,
thing, there should be larger Repub-
lican majority in the house and senate
this year than there was two years
ago, although the senate is as yet
doubtful on this proposition.
In the First district the hard fight
made on Jud LaMoure came near cost
ing him his seat, the final returns
showing him victor by only forty
votes. In Fargo there was another
heated contest between Geo. Hancock
and James Kennedy, the latter winning
out.
The following are the successful
legislative candidates as reported to-
day:
House Of Representatives..

Wexford, Democrat.

Skulason, Republicans.
