2 outside of Douglas county and
BIZ Oke almost even in Douglas.

From every section of the state, the
returns showed the same general
tendency. Each group OF additional
returns showed positive favor for
the two winners. In precinct after
precinct. the voters went into the re-
publican column to pick their United

democrats for their gubernatorial
timber.

were fragmentary but indications
pointed to the election OF five repub-
lican congressman. Figures on the
state ticket were not available inn any
quantity at that hour. Forecasts were
that a majority of the republican cam
didates for minor state offices had
won, although the big Bryan sweep
might have carried some democrats
with him into the statehouse.
