Cairman J. N. Dolley of the Repub-
lican state committee this afternoon
announced that figures on the majority
given Governor Stubbs have been in
creased to 14,415. Four counties still
are to be heard from, Stanton, Co

Will have "a members in the next legis-
lature and that the Democrats will
have 45 members. o. H. Worley of Elk
county is the sixty-fourth Republican
reported elected.
Mr.. Dolley declared that figures re-
garding the state ticket will not be OBJ
tainable until the official canvass is
made, though he repeated his state
ment that the ticket is elected by a
probably normal majority.
1t also is announced that the pro-
posed constitutional amendment pro-
viding more pay for members of the
legislature has been lost as the propo-
sition was not popular in Kansas IL
provided for the payment of $500 to
each member of the legislature for each
regular session and $3.50 for each mem
Der for each special session, also it re-
duced the mileage to three cents a
mile to and from Topeka.
Before departing for his home in Con-
cordia, a statement was issued by w.
H. L. Pepperell, secretary of the Demo-
cratic state commi zee. as follows:
1--WE have lost out as far as governor
Of this state is concerned and that
after the hardest kind of a fight but
as Democrats we have much to be
thankful for. We knew all the time
we had a hard fight in this state but
hoped to elect Senator Hodges and in
our failure to do this we are disap-
pointed.
THE wet issue which was unjustly
forced into the campaign in the closing
hours was largely responsible for the
defeat of our candidate for governor.
We were handicapped by the lack Of
funds with which to meet our legitimate
expenses and before the campaign ended
the treasury was empty, but there will
not be single cent left unpaid when
I leave the city.
''As Democrats we have much to be
| thankful for as we have greatly reduc-
| ed the Republican majority in the state
| on governor. have elected more county
| officers than ever before in the history
| of the party, and have more members
| in the house of representatives than in
years. The Democracy Of Kansas was
never in as thriving a condition as it
| is at the present time. It's in keeping
| with that of the nation and two years
from now believe that Democratic ma
jorities will be found from ocean to
ocean for every nominee on the ticket
from president down.
You can depend on it then, that
Kansas Democracy will do its part and
that this state will find a place in the
line which the present election indicates
is forming. AS far as the election OF
governor is concerned we lost the fight
this fall but we have gained in every
other way and the battle for supremacy,
two years from now will be commenc-
ed at once and then the returns an
nouncing the election of a Democratic
president will find a place by the side
of those announcing the election Of
Democratic governor in Kansas"
