[BY LEASED WlRE.1

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 4.-The re-
turn of Senator B. F. Shively. Demo-
crat, to the United States senate; the
election of the entire Democratic state
ticket, headed by Homer l.. Cook for
secretary of state; the election of
enough Democrats to the state legisla-
ture to retain control of that body by
the Democrats, and the smashing of
Indianas solid Democratic delegation
to congress, are indicated by unoffi-
cial but carefully tabulated returns
from more than two-ffths of the pre-
cincts today. The breach in the con-
gregational delegation will be in at
least two and perhaps four seats. Re-

districts. In the Second and Sixth
districts the race was very close.

Homer L. Cook, for secretary o.
state, has a plurality Of barely ten

missing that this calculation may be

between Cox and Willis in the large

by the Republican leaders that the re-

INTENSE CONTEST
HOLDS BIC CROWD
TO WATCH RESULT

The most intense interest was
shown in the result of the election last
night and because it was so hotly con-
tested many men remained away from
their homes all night. Streets were
thronged until past midnight and the
Republican voters, who have had no
chance to vent their enthusiasm for
several years, made up for lost time.
Hundreds of people read the election
returns from the Palladium's huge
screen opposite the post office, a
stereopticon flashing the returns from
county, state and national until after
midnight
The Palladium also handled the
telephone company's information SER
vice, besides operating a special phone
service for the various local clubs.
theatres and other public places and
today it was warmly congratulated for
the service it provided.
incidentally the Palladium issued an
edition at o'clock this morning for
it's patrons outside the city and at
7 o'clock published morning edition
for it's city readers.

Big DETECTION.

The comeback" act of the Repub-
llcan party was as much of a surprise
to the party leaders as it was to the
general public. Some of the workers
at Republican headquarters were even
SO incredulous that they doubted the
authenticity Of the reports sent in.
Early this morning Republican head
quarters, which by that time had re-
covered the confidence so rudely
knocked out of it in 1912 and again in
1913 by the Progressives, began to
claim the election of about half the
candidates on the Republican county
ticket. They were justified in their
assertions because nearly every county
contest was fought out to the bitter
end, in each instance all three of the
leading parties being right in the run
ming.
Progressive leaders were confident
of repeating their 1912 success, when
the entire Progressive county ticket
was elected, majority given the con-
gressional candidate, and big vote
rolled up for A. ]. Beveridge, the CUB
ernatorial candidate.
Progressive County Chairman Price
admitted his astonishment over the
closeness of the election, and shortly

In the districts outside the city the
! Progressive strength held as firm as
the rock of Gibraltar, but in Richmond
it broke with an astounding crash.
1t is understood that the bulk of the
voters now out of employment be-

party, hardened to the Republican slo-

| The Progressive county office can
didates bore the burden of this break,
but it was the hardest blow to the
Democratic congressional candidate.
Finly Gray, for it cost him good por-
| tion of his former vote in this county
and caused him to finish third in the
race. Ebert Russell, the Progressive
candidate for congress, and Beveridge
received the lions share of this vote

pears, because the Republicans had
been preaching the faith that to cure
the nations i'll it would be necessary
to have Republican congress.

All Oi11Cldl count must Q0I0TmlnS
this contest.
In most spirited. interesting and
hotly contested election, not marred
by one untoward incident, nine Pro
gressive candidates for county offices.
five Republicans and one Democrat
were elected Tuesday by the voters OF
Wayne county.
Oldest residents of Richmond agree
that the election yesterday. so far as
the selection of county officers was
concerned. was the most thrilling and
closely contested held in Wayne coun-
ty in decade.
To borrow sporting term, every
contest on the county ticket, with the
exception of four. was horse race"
and several Of the candidates were
almost nervous wrecks when the re-
suit finally became known, about
noon today.
Watch Contests.
Hundreds of people remained away
from their homes all night. so inter
ested were they in the several fiercely
contested races. notably those for
prosecutor. representative. clerk. treas
urer, sheriff. coroner. assessor, COM
missioner from eastern district and
commissioner from western district.
Each of these contests was a nip
and-tuck battle between the Progress
sive, Republican and Democratic can
didates. One might lead for brief
period, then a report would come in
which would drop the leader from
first to third place. And so on they
zig-zagged back and forth in these
nine contests almost to the receipt OF
the reports from the most belated pre-
cinct.
,, Keller Goes to Front.
In the prosecutors race reports re-
ceived up to midnight indicated that
Harlan, Republican candidate. would
be the victor but Keller gradually
forged to the front and was elected by
plurality of about 200 over Harlan
Allen was only a little more than 400
votes behind him.

date for representative. defeated Rob-

votes after it had been practically
conceded that Boren was the victor.
