Helena, Nov. 9.-State Democratic
Chairman Stewart claims, from the
returns received by him, that the dem
ocrats thus far have elected Sd demo-
Gratis, the republicans 43, and 5 are
doubtful, in which event the control
of the next legislature would rest with
the democrats by substantial ma
jority.
Col John Athey, reelected for clerk
of the supreme court, is the high
man on the republican state ticket,
leading Congressman Charles N. Pray,
reelected, bye from 1900 to $500 E.
A. Morley, republican, reelected rail-
road commissioner, is polling about
the same vote as that given Mr.. Pray
Theodore Brantly and E. X. Chea-
die are running neck and neck for
justice of the supreme court, with the
prospect of the latter being elected,
according to the returns at hand, al
though the result will be close. Glenn

election of county officers in several
counties, making almost clean sweep.
Returns of the republican state
committee show that Charles N. Pray
is reelected to congress by ma
jority of 4,500.
Three hundred and seventy-five
election precincts, out of S32 give
Pray 20,S41, Hartman 1905. Taking
into account the falling off of the vote
in the state, this represents about
$4,000 votes or three-fourths of the
state. These precincts include all the
large precincts of the state.
Two hundred and fifty precincts
give Morley 14,175; Sanger, 11,476.
Three hundred and seven precincts
give Athey 1928; O'Leary 1868.
The returns on the constitutional
amendment are very meagre, but
those that have come in indicate it
will easily carry.
The republican leaders in Helena
claim they will have Sc members of
the legislature and the democrats
claim they will have 55. The returns
indicate that the joint ballot will be
exceedingly close.

FAIRBANKS SCHOOL OPENS

The Fairbanks public school open ed on Monday last, two weeks ear Her than usual. The schoolboard has taken this step that the school may adjourn for a vacation in January without depriving the children of a months instruction.

 The following are the teachers of the Fairbanks school:
 Mrs. Bruce, principal; Miss Gil mer, high school; Miss Miller, 7th and Sth grades; Mrs. Fairburn, 9th and 9th grades; Miss Stroup, Sd and 4th grades; Mrs. Franklin, 2d and 1st grades.
