ton Is Being Fought Out In
Nebraska. Illinois and 9th

ing Issue at Chicago.

La Crosse, wis, April ALI over
Wisconsin today the supporters of
Robert NJ. LaFollette and William II.
Taft are contesting to determine
which shall have the delegates from
Wisconsin to the Republican National
convention. The Taft men have or
ganized and are contesting every pre-
cinct. The bulk of the delegation is
admittedly for LaFollette but the Taft
men hope to get few delegates and
thus weaken the effect of solid
home support for LaFollette.
Four delegates and % from con-
gressional districts are to be elected,
all by direct vote.
Local Option the Issue.
Springfield, Ill. April IA heavy
vote is being cast in the municipal
election, the local option Issue over
shadowing the question of candidates
Omaha, April Municipal cleo
tions in all cities and towns in the
state, except Omaha, are being held

bition, and the Prohibitionists claim
20 per cent of all counties.
Peoria, Ill, April Local option
is the principal issue of the local cleo
ton. A heavy vote is being cast.
Vets and Drys Fight.
Lincoln, April 7.-Prohibition was
the issue in tha election held in Ne
oraska today. The-voting was heavy
and the interest intense. The cam
paign in Lincoln and Hastings claimed
particular attention. In Hastings a
brewery was started last year. In
Lincoln about 1900 votes were polled
and the Prohibitionists were extreme
ly aggressive.
Both Claim Victory.
Kansas City, April 7.-Despite a
steady rain an exceedingly heavy vote
was cast during the early hours of the
municipal election here today. A
complete city ticket, including twenty
one members of the common council,
are to be elected Mayor Henry NJ.

tenden, Jr., son of EX-GOVERNOR Crit
tenden of Missouri, heads the Demo-
cratic ticket. Both sides claim VIC
tory.
Chicago's Sunday Closing.
Chicago, April THE city election
today was confined entirely to the
aldermanlc contest in various wards.
There was no direct issue except in
eight wards, where the election hinged
somewhat upon Sunday closing. In
Cook county, outside of Chicago, cleo
tions were held in a number of town
ships and in a few OF these local op-
ton was the issue.
Milwaukee, April IA large vote
was poiled early, and the campaign

Democrats Claim All.

The Democratic claim that an Of
the Republican ticket has gone down
to defeat is not well founded. While
nothing will be known definitely until
tho ballots are counted tonight
II was a hard fought election Au-
tOmohileS and carriages were pressed
INTO service and were kept going all
day long. Some OF the Democratic
workers even refused to stop vote
hunting for dinner and worked up
until the last minute, button-hOling
every one who came within half a
block of a polling place.
The Republicans worked stTeu-
uously too and did effective work.

justifiable and legal.
The excitement against General Col
cou is growing. Nine. Galette, who
now is in prison, has confirmed to the
examining magistrate General Neret-
tes, a statement to the effect that
COicOu was the real organizer OF the
conspiracy of March 16, and that he
referred to killing of the whites in
Port au Prince.
In making the above statement to

Alexis Wants Indemnity.

President Nord Alexis replies with
a counter claim for money which he
says Hermann Il Co. owe him person
ally, and threatens to demand indem
nifty for the recent Firmin uprising
which he accuses the firm of financ-
ing.
The people are terrorized by Gem
eral julie Coicou, chief of the military
district of Port au Prince, declaring
him to be capable of anything.
In view of the state of affairs eX-
isting preparations were made last
night to defend the French legation.
The French minister, NJ, Carteron,
is known to be disturbed regarding
steps which the Haytien government
may contemplate taking against the
refugees now in the legation, and 1t Is
understood that he has advised them
to get arms and be prepared TO fight
for their lives in case of emergency.
The minister is understood to have
added that he was unable to guaran-
tee the refugees protection in the
event of the Haytien troops attacking
the legation.
