Mrs. Wolfe,, when si-en after the shooting

almost like a baby," was the way Mrs.
Wolfe put It. In explanation Mrs. Wolfe
said that only that morning her hubsnd

way he always treated her. Thit hor hur

sult, but on superintendent of public In
struction, Judge of the supreme court and
railroad commissioner the executive council
canvasses the vote and declares the result.
One of the first things discovered on open
ing the ballots was that some of the county
auditors were negligent. The county au
ditor of Palo Alto county failed to enclose
the returns on railroad commissioner.
Judge and supe.-ln'.tndent, while retorting
all others, Including the representative and
senator. The county auditor of Cnlon
county failed to report the names of the
candidates for state senator though giving
the vote cat. These and other similar
clerical errors will delay the announce
ment of the results. Only one Judicial
district elected a Judge and that was In
Polk county where Hugh Prenniin was
elected to fill a vacancy and succeeds
Judge Olven, who la lining out part of a
term. The vote as counted shows that
Governor Cummins ran ahead of the ticket
In about two-thirds of the counties of the
state and ran behind In the others, and
that the vote for Cummins will be about
750 aheud of the vote fur the republican
candidates on the stale ticket generally.
