Democrats Lose
at Double Voting
Headed Off in Their Attempt to
Repeat at the South Omaha
Polls.

Democratic voters OF Omaha, South
Omaha and Douglas county who thought
to beat the voting machines and have their
votes registered twice for Sullivan We're
beaten at their own game and instead Of
accomplishing their purpose they IN reality
threw away one vote. Some conceived the
idea that they could vote for three, but
that two Of these could be Sullivan, so
they pulled the lever on sullivan for both
democratic and populist places.
That was where they went wrong, for
f. f. f. RidgewayS superintendent of the
machines, says that the machines were
so arranged within that no matter whether
a vote was cast for Sullivan as a demo
cratic or a populist but one vote was re-
corded.
The Instructions given with the voting
machines contains this instruction and
caution:
candidate for an office to which more thar
one person is elected, the counters OF tha
candidate being connected by an endorsing
bar the register OF one counter only foi
such candidate must be taken.
''The endorsing bar has caused the vot,
for such endorsed candidate TO be registered
on all the counters where his name ap
pears. The returns from the other coun
ters should be entered on the return shee
as COO as they are only duplicates
Never add together the vote on en-
doysed candidate counters which are con
neeIed BY endorsing bars"

Fight at Polls Results in Killing of

BALLOTS SEIZED AND BURNED

Where Most Trouble Was AntIci-
pated, Was Cut Early I'm
Day.

JACKSON. Ky, Nov. 2.-Tilden Blanton
TODAY killed Demosthenes Noble following
an election quarrel after Noble had Grip
pied Blanton's right arm with a bullet
Noble had previously, according to Blan-
ton, placed a pistol at the breast OF two
of Biantons brothers.
Noble was a former employe Of Judge
James Hargis and complications are ex-
pected
Blanton, whose father was democratic
candidate for county attorney, was acting
as challenger, and his story is that Noble
was induced to raise a disturbance by dis
comfited republicans.
The telephone wires between Jackson and
Crockettsville were cut this morning. Cap
tain Sans and his detail Of militiamen are
supposed to be i'm that vicinity.
Reports from Crockettsville and Sebas-
tions Branch this morning were that two
attempts, one successful, has been made
to steal ballots near Crockettsville precinct
at the mouth of Longs creek. The home
of Mary Dealin, who held ballots for that
precinct, was destroyed by fire and the
ballots were burned with the house. At
Sebastians Branch precinct the democrats
are reported to have seized the ballots this
morning and hidden them.
/ According to their political beliefs, Jack
son and Breathltt county men stigmatize
! the firing of the Dealin home as incen-
| diary or accidental. The most reliable re-
/ port from the place, which is twenty-five
miles away, is that Mrs. Dealin was feed
! ing the Lexington soldiers under Captain
Sans when the fire occurred. The ballots
were reported destroyed and fresh ones
were furnished from Jackson.
These are the ballots which an armed

Jackson bank last week and which were

Adams for safe keeping Crockettsville

wary about it, Both of the democratic
candidates are running for third terms and
the records Of both have been attacked in
the campaign severely. (
The local situation has absorbed atten-

the campaign were not as strong as a

TRIBUTE TOWBR SECRETARY
President Taft Lauds Dickinson at
Birthplace of Latter.
FIRST BARBECUE OF HIS TRIP
Festivities Held at Girls Industrial
school at oeInmBus, NTiss.-
Names Jeff Davis as a
Hero.

COLUMBUS. Miss, Nov. 2.-Presldent
Taft received joyous welcome here today
when he came to visit the birthplace of
Secretary of War Dickinson and brought
the secretary with him.
Mr.. Taft held a reception at the old home
of General Stephen d. Lee, Of the confed-
crate forces, as the guest of the son of
the house, Blewett H. Lee. Later he made
an address from a stand erected on Main
street and before leaving at o'clock p. m.
for Birmingham, attended his first barbecue
Of the trip at the Girls Industrial school.
The president took occasion here to pay
tribute to Secretary Dickinson. In fact,
ever since he has entered Mississippi, Mr..
Taft has lost no opportunity to give evil
dence OF his high regard for the secretary
OF war.
In the course of his midnight speech at
Jackson last night, the president said of
Secretary Dickinson:
Now 1 have got Mac Dickinson in the
cabinet. wanted him because l wanted to
give an earnest example to the south OF the
truth of my declaration that was anxious
to bring you closer to the government at
Washington. 1 wanted that Panama canal
built and I knew If he took hold OF it, It
would go.
"One Of your great heroes of Mississippi
is jefferson Davis, and I am glad the
administration at Washington has wiped
out the evidence of that extreme partisan
bitterness OF Cabin John Bridge. and that
his name is restored there"
Grateful to MississippIRns.
Il cannot pass from these walls without
testfying to the gratitude 1 feel toward
all of Mississippi for this most cordial
welcome. l am glad to believe that you
would cordially receive the president OF
! he United States under any circumstances
but l am glad to believe your reception is
in some degree warmer because you be-
| lieve l value that reception most highly
as an evidence that we are coming closer
and closer together and that we are one
country, with the same ideals, and same
y aspirations and the same determination
to make US all better and to raise the
standard OF our citizenship beyond any
thing that heretofore has been SEEN"
Enroute to Columbus today the presi
dent made brief car-end speeches at Kos
ciusko, Ackerman, Starkville and West
point. At each place he was greeted b,
an enthusiastic throng, the negroes beinI
drawn up ON one side Of the track and tn
whites on the other.
At Kosciuska, the president gave furthe
utterance to his desire to bring the peopl
OF the south closer TO the other states
He said:
1t is not that we want to make you re
publicans or that we want TO become dem
ocrats; we all have our Views and ou
tastes in that regard, but it is that W
shall bring you and that you shall com
to believe that you are as near 20 IN
heart OF the central government as no,
administrated, as any other people in III
union"

High Man Has Lead of Over Two

Sedgwick is Low Man, Due to Place

SULLIVAN LEADS LOSERS HOST
while All supreme Judges Elected
Are Republicans, Their Victory L.
Not ms Pronounced as G. o, p.
in Douglas County.

Almost complete returns from the cleo
ton in Douglas county show that the re-
publicans carried everything by majorities
ranging from LOO to 1000
on the state ticket the republican judges
have carried pluralltles for the high man
of 1900 and for the low man Of 1900.
The high man on the republican ticket
is Judge Barnes and the low man Judge
sedgwick, while the high man on the demo-
cratic ticket is Judge sullivan.
The reason for sullivans gain at Sedg-
wicks expense is explained by the posi-
ton Of the two names on the voting ma
chine. the one being above the other. max
ing It the natural thing for those throw
ing an extra vote to Sullivan to take It
away from sedgwick.
The big fight on the county ticket came
on sheriff. where the socialists backing
Morrow undertook to beat down Bradley
as the republican up for reelection, M1r-
row being a street car striker backed by
! the labor unions as well as the socialists.
Morrow made a phenomenal run, polling
over 1900 votes, as a close second to Bo-
land the democrat, who has about 49OO'
while Bradley, with 1900, has plurality
of $500, although not majority over both,
Another contested position was that Of
| coroner, where the democrats undertook
to center on half of the present democratic
| coroner, but he was unsuccessful for
Crosby, the republican, has a safe ma
! jority.
The rest of the republican ticket is sue
cessful by even larger majorities, the diff
ferent candidates running fairly well to-
gether.
The total vote in Douglas county is light
as compared with a year ago, and when
complet probably will foot up about 1900
to 1900. South Omaha in particular failed
to poll its vote, chiefly to the detriment OF
the democrats, and the vote in the country
likewise is light
The election weather could not have
been better to bring out the vote, but the
voting was slow all during the day and
caught up only during the closing hours.
The returns came in early and in good
condition, due to the use of the voting
machines, and the result was known on
all the offices by 9 o'clock in the evening,
There was little disturbance at any Of the
polls exceptions being in one or two OF
the downtown precincts where outsiders
tried to interfere with the election officers.
The following table shows the results in
Douglas county with two precincts missing
on Dean and Barnes and five missing on
the other judges. Two precincts are miss
ing on the rest of the state ticket.
