KNOTT IS THE
FAVORITE HERE


Bryan, Knott and Smithwirk are
the winners, according to all indica-
tiOns. While the returns are incom-
pleIe, they are nevertheless thought
to be representative.
In both state and county Knott IS
way in the lead. for governor; Smith
wick is well ahead, and Trammel and
Bryan are running one of the closest
races in history. The second choice
votes viii elect the senator.
City Results Analysed.
Incomplete returns from city and
county precincts indicate that Bryan
is the popular choice of Escambia for
the senate, leading TrammeIl by
probably 500 votes, with Wall third.
Knott and Cats Lead.
For Governor, Knott and Cats are
running very close. Knott viii prob
ably lead by several hundred when
all the votes are in, with Farris third.
Smithwick Ahead.
For congress Smithwick viii lead
KehOe, Watson and Stevens in the
order named
Van Pelt and Sanders.
| The race for sheriff win probably
narrow down between Van Pelt and
| Sanders.
Luning for state treasurer, Sheats
for superintendent Of public instruc-
ton, and Brown for justice of the
supreme court, and Dunn for railroad
commissioner will be the high men
in this county.
Indications are that Campbell will
be high man for circuit Judge, Nc
Geaehey for state attorney, and john
son and BaggOtt VIII lead for the
legislature.
Bellinger will win over Hutchins
and MacgibbOn over Prater.
Incomplete as the returns are. they
may be taken as fairly representa-
tive, though of course the second
choice proposition may upset all cal
culations. The figures received so far
are for first choice only, but the re-
turns follow prediction so closely that
| it is not thought the final result will
upset present calculations to any
great extent.
