ANOTHER FABRICK BLUNDER

Owing to the fact that the printer
of the official ballots for Ward
county neglected to place the cir
Gle at the top of the columns of
candidates names, if you wanted to
vote the ticket straight Tuesday, it
was necessary to go down the line
and place a cross after each name.
We understand that J. w. Fabrick
placed his o. X. on the proof which

Among the. NOSE significant results
were the reelection to congress of
Speaker Cannon and Chairman Ser

Missouri, which Herewith returns to

decisive plurality.
1t became early evident that
Thomas l.. Hisgen, candidate of the
Independent party, had received COM
paratively meager support and that
his vote would not materially effect
the result
Little was learned as to the magni'
tude of the socialist or rohibition

Arthur Hanson of the Pubic Drug

another instance of Fabrick's ex-
traordinary ability as county
auditor. It probably changed
good many straight" votes, and the
combined time that was lost in

Taft Wins in Gotham.

d
One Of the results surprising the
most sanguine hopes of most Repub.
licans was Taft's carrying the great
er city of New York by a plurality
which early today with ninety-four
out Of 1888 districts missing, footed
1878. Furthermore, his plurality in
New York state will be approximate
Roosevet's big plurality of 1904.
Only second in point of general in
terest was the victory of Gov. Chas.
E. Hughes, who was reelected by q
plurality estimated early today Well
above $4,000 over the vote cast for
his Democratic opponent Lieut.. Gov.
Chanler. While Greater New York
gave plurality for Taft, it gave
Chanler margin OF 56,s43.
Bryan Strong in Middle West.
With the thirty-one United States
senators to be elected by the leg:s
latures, the Republicans VIII retain

gress.
Bryan's chief strength seems 10
have been in the middle west. Ney
England, New York, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, rallied for Taft with
notable majorities; the only eastern
state about which there seems Doubt

County Division.
The Lake county proposition won
out by vote of 3675 for and $500
against, a majority of 1856, with five
small precincts, including Lund and
Wang, to hear from. The Burke and
Renville propositions were very bad
ly beaten, while Montraille rolled up
quite nice vote but it is believed
that it has fallen short. The Lake
county iivisionists can hardly hope
to win, even tho their proposition
did carry, for they did not secure a
majority Of the total number of
votes cast in the county. The best
authorities believe that to allow this
to carry under the circumstances,
would be unconstitutional and the
matter will no doubt be fought out
in the courts. Mohail citizens de,

the matter. Kenmare 2olled nearly
700 votes on the proposition, which
looks unusually large. There was
but one vote against the proposition
in Kenmare-perhaps an error.

that johnson is a sure winner, even

victor. A later report gives Johnson
the victory beyond a doubt.

to have been broken by falling from

that some hoodlums seeing my lights at
a distance deliberately broke the glass

by naming the school the Mckinley
Public High School.
H. E. Hendrick appeared as the cham
pion of the scheme to erect a heroic
statue of Mckinley in some public
place as the fitting memorial, this pro-
posal being elaborated on by Gordon
osborne, artist, who submitted a sketch
plan of proposed statue.
The smembers of th2 committee list
ened carefully to the claims of the sup
porters of the various proposals, adj
iourning after a full and free discus
sion had been had, another meeting be-
ing called for next week, at which it
is probable a final decision viii be
reached.
There were present at the meeting:
Judge Dole, Rev. w. D. Westervelt.
Prof. Edgar Wood, F. A. Schaefer, Gov.
Cleghorn, DIR. Rogers, Prof. Scott, J.
E. Rethwell, Charles NJ Cooke, r. S.

bricks, Gordon osborne, Mrs. W. NJ.
Graham and Mrs. Saekwitz. the latter
representing the Buckeye Club and sec
onding the proposal of the Kilohana
Art League.
The sketch submitted by Mr.. osborne
attracted considerable attention, his de-
sign being for statue and pedestal
the same size as the Kamehameha
statue. The pedestal is elaborated with
three figures, IMPLYING the three ter
ritories added to the United States
during the Mckinley administration,
Hawaii, the Philippines and Porto Rico.
The statue and figures are to be cast
in bronze from models to be made here
by Mr. osborne, the whole being esti-
mated to cost between eight and nine
thousand dollars.
The proposal of Professor Scott drew
out number of interested questions,
the principal one of which was whether
the government would name the school
after the assassinated president. Mr.
Scott assured the committee that he
had discussed the matter with the in
dividual members of the Board of Edu-
cation and had been assured of their
support, while Governor Frear had told
him that his proposal was noble one.
Mrs. Graham made d strong presenta-
tion of the claims of the Art League
plan, at the same time pointing out OBJ
iections to some of the other proposals.
The arguments advanced by her, sec
onded by those of Mrs. Sackwitz, i'm
pressed the committee very strongly.

SALE Of SISAL LANDS
ON kauai HELD UP

Land Commissioner ]. w. Pratt has
postponed, until further notice, the
sale of the so-called sisal lands on
Kauai for which the Knudsen brothers
had filed an application.
This is on account of a protest en-
tered against the sale by H NJ. Won
Holt, trustee for Mrs. Annie Knudsen,
and Ida E. Won Holt, beneficiary of a
trust deed executed by Mrs. Knudsen.
The protesters demand that their
claims on the land be settled before
the sale is made.
