basing his estimates on the Stubs
lead of 5000 on the returns from so
counties.
Democrats Will Not Give Up.
Secretary Pepperin of the Demo-
cratic state committee this afternoon
was still claiming the election of
Hodges for governor. He said the
final result would be very close, and
that his figures did not Justify the be-
lief that Stubs had won.
AnthOny's Majority Over 10000.
Leavenworth, Kan, Nov. 9.-Incom-
plete returns from the First congress
sional district indicate that Anthony
(Republican) will have from $4,000 to
$1,000 majority over Chapman Qnde-
pendent Democracy.
Leavenworth gave Anthony practical
ly unanimous vote.
Stubs Carries Greeley County.
Tribune, Kan, Nov. 9.-COmplete re-
turns in Greeley county gives Stubs
1852, Hodges AZ, Madison pa, Nealy As,
Judge Lobdell ga. Wilson 81, Clement
L. Wilson (Republican) representative,
by 121 majority. Complete Republican
ticket elected.
DOIIey Is Defeated.
Alma, Kan, Nov. 9.-Incomplete re-
turns from two-thirds of the precincts
indicate that Wabaunsee county will
give Hodges a majority Of 100 and that
J. n. Dolley, representative. will be de-
Democratic county ticket elected.
Atchison, Kan, Nov. 9.-Incomplete
returns from 16 precincts out of % in
Atchison give Stubs, Republican, sos,
Hodges, Democrat, 764. For con-
gresham, Anthony, Republican, 271,
Chapman, Independent, 444. In the
Second district, which includes most
OF the city, James W. Orr, Democrat,
has won from Charles Remsburg Re
publican, 900 to 4O8 on incomplete
returns. In the Third representative
district Z. B. Sharpless, Republican,
leads Thomas Treat, Democrat 491 to
264. Although incomplete returns in
dictate that Hodges will carry the coun-
ty, 1t is believed the rest of the state
ticket will go Republican by about the
normal Republican majority of 700. It
is evident that the railroad vote here
was pretty solidly against him, as
was that of the liquor element. Chap
mans poor showing in the congress
sional race is blamed by many on the
fact that his name, in the Independent
column alone, was so far from the
other party tickets that many voters
overlooked it. It is believed the amend
ment to increase the pay of legislators
was lost in the county, and that the
vote on it will be small.
Fredonia, Kan, Nov. 9.-Seven pre-
cincts out of % in Wilson county give
Stubs 3s1, Hodges 331. The same
precincts in 1908 gave Stubs e4S.
Botkin 433.
Oberlin, Kan, Nov. 9.-Stubbs SIS,
Hodges $50, Young $50 Rockefeller
1852, Brewer Gil, Shuey 864. Five pre-
cincts to hear from. Remainder of
state ticket running Democratic, with
ticket of Decatur county Democratic.
Troy, Kan, Nov. 9.-Doniphan coun-
ty gave Stubs about 1000 majority,
Anthony 1900 majority, C. w. Reeder,
Republican candidate for representa-
tive, was elected by good majority.
The county ticket went Republican
by about 500 majority, with the excep-
ton of sheriff.
Chanute. Kan, Nov. fluctuations
at this hour point to Stubs losing
both Chanute and Neosho county.
There is a possibility that Botkin will
carry NeOsho over Campbell.
Independence, Kan. Nov. 8
Scratching has been the order of the
day in Montgomery county on both
sides and the count is exceptionally
slow. 1t will be early morning before
an intelligent estimate can be given.
Out of a possible SAT- votes in three
cities and one township, 4,75S votes
were cast. In this city at 9 o'clock
Stubs had "a votes in the First ward
and Hodges 8. In the Fourth Stubs
had 20 and Hodges 5. 1t is presumed,
however, that the standpat vote was
cast early and will be found at the
bottom of the heap. Kerr, Stubs Re
publican, appears to have won over
Brown, Democrat, for representative.
The fierce fight was over county su-
perintendent. The western half of the
county lined up strongly against Miss
Ethel Barker, county high school can
didate of the east side. Indications are
that Phil Campbell has been hard hit
in this city.
n
plete returns from Barton county pre-
cincts indicate that Stubs will poll a
better vote than he did two years ago.
He will probably lose the county by
$50 majority. Madison, Republican
candidate for congress, is running
ahead Of Stubs. but not with enough
plurality to carry the county Banta,
Republican candidate for Judge, is run
ming ahead of his ticket and will prob
ably get q majority in the COUNTY IT
IS probable that the Democrat county
ticket will be elected with a few ex-
ceptions. The tickets counted in Great
Bend thus far indicate that only a few
Of the Republican candidates will get
the majority usually given. The divi-
sion is in the city and almost every bal
lot is scratched
