ing for the largest vote in the history

Clark, who drew 2,435, Presidential

vey Reed present incumbent. ran
a wide third with Fitzgerald and

majorities as second man in three
precincts.
West l. and West Q street pre-
cincts returned overwhelming MAORI
ties for the democratic candidates,
It was apparently plain in all districts
that the democratic candidates were
carried, weight, filth and all, on the
shoulders Of the wet forces. which
insured their election. Gubernator-
ial returns correspondent almost in de-
tail with the presidential count. Ne
vile was an easy leader.
The knitting that was given Henry
Murphy, erstwhile popular city at
torney OF South Omaha was the talk
of the city. The fierce fight waged
by personal enemies and the open
turnout against him at the polls on
election day, are held as accountable
for his weak showing According to
the count he carried but one precinct,
and that by a majority of less than
twenty votes, the district being his
residence territory.

cause for much conversation, The
street car inspector won overwhelm-
ing majorities in FIVE South Side pre-
cincts and played all even count in
enc with his opponent, McShane.

clash in one OF the premier foot ball

afternoon on the Luxus foot ball
lot at Twenty-fourth and Vinton
streets. Coach Patton's team is in
a weakened condition, due to the loss
OF players who are down in their
