SLOW IN CANVASSING
Official Election Returns May Not Be
Known Until Next Week.

County boards are today canvassing
the returns from Tuesdays statewide
election. The returns will not be
transmitted to Topeka until early next
week and official figures for the state
at large may not be available for an
other week. Since there are no close
contests of statewide concern, the re-
turns this year attract little attention.
Speculation is only as to the size of
the Republican majorities in all ex-
cept the Eighth congressional district,
where the Democrats won.
Several of the large counties may
not complete their canvass of the re-
turns until next week. AS soon as the
returns are sent to Topeka, they will
be tabulated by counties and submit
ted to the state canvassing board when
it meets November 81.
Republicans retained their majority
in the state senate by electing party
candidates to fill vacancies in the
Eighth and Tenth senatorial districts.
A. NJ. KoS2e of Fort Scott, speaker of
the 1917 house, was elected to the
senate to succeed the, late Senator
Robert B. Barr. The Eighth district
comprises Bourbon county and the
fight was between Keene and J. w.
Davis, Democrat. In the Tenth dis
trict A. H. Skidmore of Columbus won
over o. w. Sparks of GaIena. The
election in the Cherokee county dis
trict was to fill the vacancy caused
by the nomination and election of
Senator Charles S. Huffman to the Of
flee of lieutenant governor. Senator
Huffman .epresented the district in
the senate sixteen years.
