Fragmentary Returns Indicate
That Unterrified Has Made
a Clean Sweep in This
County.
LOBECK AHEAD OF BAKER
Incumbent Has Big Lead for
Congress and May Not Be
Headed.
WHAT THE FIGURES SHOW
WHAT THE FIGURES SHOW

With slow count in Douglas county
and decidedly fragmentary returns,
the best possible survey OF resulting
majorities must be only approximate,
but that the work of the "wets" favor
ing the state democratic ticket has
made victory for the democratic
local ticket almost as whole is plain,
On the presidency, Wilson will go
out of Douglas county with majority
over Hughes possibly in excess of the
wet" majority, which is likely to be
between 1900 and 10000. The "wets,'
however, fell far behind their cxpecta-
tions, as they were counting OH two
to one vote, with majority amount
ing close to $4,000. Even in the Third
ward the wet" majority is only an
even 1000, which is no more than it
has given once or twice to Mayor
Dahlman.
For United States senator the pros
pect is that Hitchcock will distance
Kennedy by something like $500 in
Douglas, which is terrific comedown
from the 5000 majority he had when
he ran against Burkett six years ago.
In the congressional race, Lobeck
is substantially ahead of Baker with
a probable majority which will re-
elect him unless overcome in the
other counties.
The governorship was supposed to
be closely connected with thg wet"
and dry" fight, but Neville, the
wet candidate, is not likely to have
more than 5000, if that many. over
Sutton, in this county,
When it comes to the county offices
it looks as if all the democrats were
carried along on the wet wave, ex-
cept, possibly Mike Clark, who as
republican opponent OF Sheriff Nc
hShane, is running far ahead Of his
ticket, with fair chance Of capturing
the prize. , ,.....-s...s... ....y. !.
= For district judges the sitting
judges are all well in the lead with
the exception of Wakeley, who is the
low man and may possibly be passed
by Judge Dickinson, who is the high
man in the field.
The citizens school board ticket
has won out as whole, with possible
losses of one or two. Bekins seems
to be the low man on the citizens
ticket and Judge w. A. Foster a
probable winner among those who
were not on that ticket
