The Taney County republican. (Forsyth, Mo.) 1895-1992, 1910-12-01
NO CHANGE IN COUNT
Democratic Candidates are Not Enc0ur
aged by TabuIation.

Offices received no encouragement
from the tabulation of the election re-
turns from the state outside of St.
Louis by the secretary of state today.
The losses and gains by the republican
and democratic candidates about bal
anced, according to Charles D. Morris,
chairman of the republican state COM
mittee, who made comparisons of the
official and unofficial returns.
John c. Brown, judge-elect of the
supreme court, who was keeping tab"
on his own vote and that of Judge
CAN'T estimated that he gained about
fifty or sixty votes in the canvass. He
says his majority over CAN'T will be in
excess of 4,2OO. William P. Evans
the low candidate on the republican
state ticket, will have plurality over
Gass in excess of 1900.
Although the vote from all the couD
ties was tabulated no totals were made
There were few material changes from
the unofficial vote as given in the
newspapers and compiled by the re
publican state chairman.
ABROWN GAIN IN KANSAS CITY
In Audrian county Judge Timmonds
gained about one hundred votes, but
this was Offset by an increase for Ken
'nish of about ninety four. Judge
John G. Brown made a gain of 275 in
Kansas City, but lost 166 in Nodaway
county through the failure of ele ction
oficials>to forward the vote of one pre-
cinct. He will telephone for those
figures tomorrow.
The official canvass will not affect
the result and all republican candi-.
dates are safe. The vote of the city
OF St. Louis will be tabulated tomorrow
and the vote of the state for the re-
spective candidates totaled. The vote
on United States senator will be taken
up next and the amendments probably
Monday.
The official canvass shows that the
democrats have elected eighty-two
and the republicans sixty members of
the house of representatives. This
gives the democrats ten more than
constitutional majority. They won in
many of the close counties by only
few votes. One thousand votes prop
erly distributed would have given the
republicans control of the house by a
good working majority. The republi-
cans elected members in Atchison and
Pettis counties by one plurality in each
