At the time this is being written. 50 many q
the far-awav precincts are yet to be heard fror
that 1t will be impossible to give our reader
anything but a surmise or forecast of the gen
eral results of the election held on Tuesday o
this week.
From all the reports we could gather, Congress
men Evans and Stout will be returned to Con
gress by majority sufficiently large to indicat
the high regard in which the present nationa
Democratic administration is being held by tn
people of this state. 49,
It is much too early to tell how the contest fo
Associate Justice and Railroad COMMISSIONS
will pan out, although the Democrats through
out the state are claiming victory for Judg
Clements for the former and the republicans ar
making strong claims for Dan Boyle for the lat
ter Office, ---
The returns from the Is precincts that are i,
at this writing show that DR.. Dan j. Donohu'
is running somewhat behind his republican op
ponent, George McCone, although we will no
believe that the people Of Dawson county have
repudiated him until the very last precinct ha.
been officially heard from.
The fight for the three representatives has
been so close that nothing can be told definitely
about the results at this time although both B. F
Dawson and E. L. McClatchie are running
strong.
Results from nearby precincts would seem t.
indicate that Dennis j, Kelly has lost to R. L
Wyman for Clerk and Recorder, although Mr.
Kelly put up hard and clean fight, many o.
his supporters believing he still has show.
It would look as though Sheriff Wynn is beat
en- by Geo. Twible, and if this is true it can b
attributed largely to the fact that such larg'
number Of votes went to Bill Frank and few tt
Cato, thus splitting up the popular vote in such
a way as to carry Twible in on the split.
From all accounts Leonard j. Guy wins tht
Authorship, and W. Byrle Chappell is success
full for Treasurer, the former running away
ahead of any of his team mates.
Desmond j. O'Neil, for county attorney is MOI
running nearly as well as even the republicans
had anticipated, and at this writing it looks al
though his opponent will be elected. This il
considered by many as one Of the riddles Of the
campaign, for O'Neil is known to possess every
attribute and qualification necessary to give
Dawson county the best legal representation i
has ever enjoyed.
Still Wilkins, from all accounts, will lose te
Bean, although it is conceded by all that the
owner of Money Patch Farm gave him the hard
est fight of his official career, Should Mr.. Viii
kins run for the office at the next election we
have no doubt but that his increased acquain
tance at that time will tput him over''.
The race between Miss Reed on the Demo
cratic and Miss Osborne on the Republican
ticket bids fair to be an interesting one up unit
the last precinct is heard from. 1t is claimed by
friends Of Miss Reed that her acquaintance
with the people in the country will compel bel
election.
Although August J. Colin is running some
what behind his opponent, the returns from tnt
country may change things in favor OF the pre-
sent incumbent,
Charles +. Rainey is making good night Iol
County Commissioner, but as this is one OF .nt
Offices that will be largely determined Dy tne
farmer vote, no one can predict victory io'
either contestant at this time.
indications point to victory for Fred dould
mo - Public Administrator and Harry ham,
as Justice of the Peace, although those oihces q
