of close to 700 votes when the last of
the returns come in.
Contrary to expectations, Congress
man D. r. Anthony carried the coun-
ty by a comparatively meager margin.
He was given, according to returns
from "A of the 40 precincts, total
of 5.26S votes, while his opponent, J..
B. Chapman, was given 4.132 votes, a
majority of a little over LOO votes
On some of the closest contests it
may be that a few changes made by
the county board in canvaSsing the
results may so change the complexion
of the returns that it will change the
election. However. it is not regarded
likely that such will be the case.

In the fight for presidential electors
Wilson easily is leading in the county,
with Taft and Roosevelt running close
together. The former, however, is
distinctively in the lead, and is ex-
pected to finish a good second. Will
sons plurality is expected to be be-
tween 500 and 1000 votes.
The smallness of Cappers majority
was surprise to his friends, who ex-
pected him to go out of Shawnee
county with at least close to the nor
NAL Republican majority. His loss is
attributed solely to the activity of
the Republican league which has at
tackled Capper and his espousal of the
Bull Moose freely. Capper is thus
believed to have lost many Republic
can votes who went to his opponent.

One of the most interesting is
sues ever published by a Dickinson
county paper is the Old Eettlers
Edition of the Manchester Motor

handsome colored cover and 4e
pages brimful of illustrated articles
pertaining to the history of Man
chester and northwest Dickinson it
is exceedingly creditable to the edi-
tor and publisher, John Poore. 5ev-
eral of the early settlers of Flora
township have written reminiscent
articles on early history that will
be read with much pleasure by all.
The paper is one that will be laid
away in many a bureau drawer and
it is distinct service to the COM
