N 'NAIR'S EXPENSES S464. a
Defeated Democratic Candidate for
Secretary of Internal Affairs First
to File Financial Statement

The first election expense account
was received at the State Department
to-day. 1t was from William McNair,
the Democratic candidate for Secre-
tary of Internal Affairs, who was en-
dorsed by the Single Takers of the
State at meeting held at the Board
of Trade building here long before the
primaries were held, and afterward
carried the Democratic primary.
Mr.. McNair received altogether
$16O, the bulk of which was from per-
sonal friends, but $40 of it was from
the Philadelphia Single Tax Associa-
tion. He expended $464.14, mainly
for travelling expenses, postage, print
ing and telephone charges, and he
gave the Democratic State committee
$50. He still owes $S to press clip
ping bureau.
Twelve counties have made returns
of the election to the State Depart
ment, as follows: Cameron, Clinton,
Cumberland, Fulton, Juniata, Montour,
Northumberland, Potter, Schuylkill,
Snyder, Union and Wyoming.
The delay in computing the vote in
some of the larger counties will prob
ably prevent the exact official vote
from being announced for several
weeks. AS yet there have been no
notifications of contests to hold back
the returns.

SEEMED LONG TO THE INDIANS
Carlisle ARROW" Says Redskins Pa
raded 141s Miles With Firemen Here

NoPecidi 10 lne otar-lndependent)
Carlisle, Pa, Nov. when the Car
isle Indian school band marched with
the Washington Fire Company, of Ne
chanicsburg, in the big fremen s parade
in Harrisburg last month, it seemed to
the redskins that the six-and -one-half
mile route of the parade was actually
fourteen and one-half miles long. One
of the bandmen writing in to-day's is
sue of the Carlisle "Arrow,' the In.
dian school newspaper, referring to the
parade, says:
The boys spent their leisure mo-
ments in various ways; some visited
different places of interest, Others walk
ed around and took in the sights. We
certainly had enough of the latter ex-
perience later in the afternoon. We
were in the second division and we
marched about fourteen and one-half
miles. At the start we halted few
times, but when once started we kept
up steady tramp.
"When on the home stretch the pa-
rade halted few minutes and we found
out that the twelfth division was lust
starting and there were two more wait
ing for their turn to march. The parade
was fourteen and one-half miles in
length and we arrived home in Carlisle
very glad indeed that the strenuous day
was 0ver.'

OFFICIAL COUNT IS CUTTING
down FRAzER'S MAJORITY
Returns Thus Far Received, However,
Indicate That the Western Man
Has Been Elected Judge BY About
10000

The members of the committee that
managed Judge George Kunkel's cam
paign against Judge Robert Frazer, of
Allegheny county, for Justice of the
State Supreme Court, to-day content
ed themselves with comparing official
returns, sent in from few of the six
ty-seven counties, with the unofficial
figures printed earlier in the week.
These showed some gains for Kunkel,
but Frazer still has a material lead.
Judge Kunkel's friends are hoping the
receipt of additional official returns
will show further gains for the Har-
risburg man.
The official count was completed N
Dauphin county at IL O'Clock this
morning, although only the vote on the
Supreme Court candidates had been
compared and totaled at that hour.
That showed Judge Kunkel received
1859 votes in Dauphin county, a
handsome testimonial from his home
county friends, as against 1,271 re-
ceived by his opponent, Judge Frazer,
or a majority of 20,1SS for Kunkel.
The unofficial figures compiled on
Wednesday, following the election
gave Judge Kunkel 21,433 and Judge
Frazer 1856, majority of 2O,167
for the local candidate. Kunkel thus
was shown to have received twenty
one more in Dauphin county than had
been indicated unoflicially.
Philadelphia newspapers this morn
ing carried stories to the effect that,
with two counties missing, the unof-
fetal figures gave Judge Frazer lead
of 10,150 over Judge Kunkel. Mem
bers of Judge Kunkel's campaign com
mittee now admit that Judge Frazer
has a lead over the Dauphin county
candidate, although they say it is not
so much as 10000.
Comparisons with the unofficial re-.
turns on the judgeship candidates that
were obtained by the Associated Press
and printed earlier in the week, when
seven counties were missing, show that
the unofficial returns in four counties
gave Judge Kunkel 1,439 votes fewer
than he actually received. In one
county his total was .overestimated by
rs, bringing his acthal increase over
the unofficial figures in five counties
down to 1861.
Judge Frazer was credited by the
unofficial returns with fewer votes than
he actually received in three counties,
while in two others his totals were
overestimated The returns from which
comparisons were made include those
of Dauphin, Cumberland, Franklin,
Egie and Centre counties. a..
Frank f. ziegler and Benjamin F.
Umberger, who recorded the official
vote here, began this afternoon making
comparisons of the votes other than
those cast for Judge, but they will not
begin totaling these votes until Mon
day.
