nomination of state Officers where
there was a contest except in the case
of auditor and superintendent of pub
lie instruction and insurance. Isaac
Lewis is nominated beyond a doubt
and so is VIII Davis and E. T. Fair
child. But for supreme court and
treasurer, state printer and railroad
commissioners there are only indica-
tiops and estimates as to the nominees
Returns from fourteen counties
some of them incomplete, give the fol-
lowing vote:
Railroad Commissioner (three to
elect) Ryan, 1888; Plumb, 6.7s4;
White, 1924; Kanavel 5.649: Wood
5,536; Cunningham, 1903; Blackburn,
4,727.
But these figures may be misleading.
Ryan received half of his vote in
Shawnee alone, but then he has
LeavenwOrth yet to hear from. The
indications point to the nomination of
White and Plumb for they have a good
vote in every section. The third NOM
inee is in doubt. 1t may be Ryan or
KanaveI of the old board. or Wood or
Cunningham may slip in.
For treasurer the signs point to
Mark Tulley, but Grasse and Webb
have a good vote from all over the
state.
For state printer Austin looks the
winner at this time, but there is moth
ing to base his victory on but indica-
tions. Cordry carried Labette almost
unanimously and he won in Wyan-
dotte, Cowley and Neoshc and got a
good vote in Shawnee.
Fairchild will win over Payne by
$4,000. He has carried Wyandotte,
Sumner, Shawnee. Phillips, Sedgwick,
Pratt, Atchison and Doniphan. Payne
has carried Saline, Lyon and Frank
lin. No other figures are obtainable
at this time.
Will Davis for state auditor will win
by better than two to one, according
to the estimates at this time. He has
carried Allen by 500, Shawnee by 3d.
S2s, Wyandotte by 1900. Sumner by
200, Reno by 1900, Cowley by 1000,
Butler by 500, Neosho by 900 and so
on down the line.
Lewis will have big majority He
has carried Shawnee by 1900, Neosho
by $50, Wyandotte by 1000 and Linn,
Woodson, Miami, Usage, Wabaunsee
and Ottawa counties by large major
tiles. He carried his home county of
STAFFORD twenty to one.
The cause of the trouble in getting
the returns on state offices is due to
the fact that the judges gave out the
vote in most cases on governor and
congressman and then sealed up the
ballots. They will be opened and
counted by the county clerks tomor-
row. Saturday there will be definite
figures available. The only figures in
sight on state officers now are those
that friends of the candidates secured
the night of the election.
For justice of the supreme court,
two to elect, it appears from meager
returns available that Porter is re-
nominated and that West is running
with him. But these are estimates
only.
Grasse for state treasurer led his
opponents in Wyandotte county.
First District Congressional Race.
The fight for congress in the First
district is still very close. according
to figures by McNeal's friends Ac
cording to their estimates, it will take
the official vote to decide the matter.
Their figures are as follows:
McNeal majorities: Jefferson. 400;
Nemaha, 800; Shawnee, ALSO. Total,
1850.
Anthony majorities: Atchison. 1924:
Is; Leavenworth, 1900. Total. 1886.
These figures give it to Anthony by
only 76 votes.
Anthony figures it this way:
Anthony majorities: Atchison, 1916;
Brown, 1876; Doniphan. 436; Jackson,
20: Leavenworth. 1910. Total. 3,76S.
McNeaI majorities: Jefferson, 25s:
Nemaha, 217; Shawnee, also. Total,
1895. f
These figures give the nomination to
Anthony by 542 votes.
