Reeves Easy Winner.

htNftS id01 W AiitN1s
From the opening of the first re-
turns James A. Reeves took a lead
and held it till the final count with
natterng maiorities. The final re-
turns were not tabulated Thursday
noon when this issue went to press,
but there appears to be no doubt that
he has carried Champaign county
with a majority large enough to offset
all losses in other counties. Roger
Little, who was opposed by Labor,
succeeded IN overcoming the large
sentiment against his candidacy in
Labor circles and is a probable win
ner W. h. H. Miller failed to stage
the comeback anticipated by many of
hls friends. In practically every pre-
ehct ne failed to poll a vote large
enough to affect the issues of the
campaign.
