London Correspondent Reaches Malta From TrloolL "Ananias In his paiiulest days never wrote half as manv falsehoods as have appeared In the Italian press and In the official statement lasued by the Italian government," telegraphs the correspondent of the Reuters company .at Tripoli, who arrived at Malta. Prom Malta he wus able to send au uruensored message, which contains a pessimistic description of the condi tion of the Italian army around what hi terms the besieged city of Tripoli. He says: "To sum up the results of the cam paign the Italians hold, with nearly twice as many men. half the ground that they held three weeks ago. They have lost In killed and wounded, not counting the sick, more than 1.000 m. n. Many Arabs have been killed and vast numbers were shot In cold blood.

In Kentu, kv James R. McOreay (Dem I was elected governor by a ma lority estimated al 10,000 to 40,000.

A clean sweep of the Btate by the Republican ticket Is indicated by the returns in the elec tion of supreme judges, regents of the university and railway commission. One hundred and seventy nine pre cincts of the MM in the state, includ ing the f omplete city vote of Oma'ia nnd representative counties from va rious, parti oi Nebraska, show Hamer the lowest man on the Republican ticket for Judge, with a plurality of 2,-32 over his closest Democratic con testant.

Omaha, Nov. 8- The election In Douglas county resulted In a Repub lican victory for all offices on the ticket save that of sheriff A decided opposition to Fred H. Hoye, Repub lican candidate for sheriff, developed, and he wns heavily scratched in Re publican wards, so that tabulated re turns Indicate his defeat and the elec tion of Felix McShane, Jr., Democrat, by 1,000. All other candidates on the Republican ticket yvere elected. The Republican state ticket also curried Douglas county. Consolidation of Omaha and South Omaha was defeated in South Omaha by a vote of 1.852 to 1,290. Though South Omaha went Demo cratlc, the majorities were much less there than the Democrats had antici pated, not averaging more than 100. South Omaha elected a Democratic police Judge. All nominees for supreme court judges followed the tickets closely, there not being n wide gap between the high and low man on either ticket. Letton leads the Republican ticket, v:th Hnmer second and Rose third; and Dean leads the Democratic ticket, with Oldham second and Stark third.

Stephens has been elected to congress in the Third congressional district to succeed the late James P. l.atta by a majority which will probably range between 3.000 and 4,000.
