Nebraska Elects Full Republican Del
egation to the National Con
gress .
Election returns for Holt county
shows that the propositions to divide
county into three was buried under a
majority of nearly 1,000. The second
and third wards of O’Neill and Grat
tan precinct made the best records
against division of any voting pre
cinct in the county except Willowdale
1;4 so far as reported, but one vote for
division in each of these being cast.
Willowdale beats them all, with not
a single vote for county division.
Chambers also came in with an over
whelming majority against division.
Dr. J. P. Gilligan republican, is
elected to the senate by a majority of
about D50. Ife carried Holt county by
330, strong fusion centers giving
him majorities. He carried every
county in the district try the follow
ing majorities: Holt 330: Boyd 420;
Garfield 107; Wheeler 27. Dr. Gilli
gan has the honor of being the first
republican ever elected to represent
this district in the state senate. The
splendid vote he received throughout
the district is a just tribute to his
sterling integrity and popularity.
W. N. Coats is re-elected to the
legislature, having a majority ^ of
about 100. The contest between
Green, the other republican nominee,
and Bedford, fusion, is very close and
it will take the count to determine the
result. On the face of the returns,
however,^it looks as if Bedford would
have 5 or 6 majority.
A. F. Mullen, fusion, is reelected
county attorney by a majority of 300.
His republican opponent, E. II. Bene
dict, made a splendid run and had
some republican precincts done their
duty he would have been elected. Ac
cusations are heard against Mr. Mul
len that much trading was done with
•the divisionists. Mr. Benedict had a
majority of six votes in O’Neill.
Judge Kinkaid for congress carried
the county by close to 600 majority
and is re-elected by an overwhelming
majority in the district. Every con
gressional district in Nebraska went
republican.
On tire head of the ticked, our
county that has been going democratic
for years rolled up a majority of over
300 for Roosevelt and Fairbanks.
The accompaning table shows the
vote for Holt county as far as possible
until the official count is made, which
will be completed in a few days.

THAT MAY REACH 75,000.

Solid Republican Congressional Del*

Returns Are More Slow in Coming
In Than Usually the Case.
Lincoln, Nov. 10.—While not con
ceding defeat in so many words, man
agers of the fusion campaign in Lin
coln admitted that on the face of re
turns the Republicans had carried
everything, including the head of the
state ticket, which was the only of
fice in serious doubt. No figures were
offered at fusion headquarters, but fig
ures elsewhere indicated that Gov
ernor Mickey, who is low man on the
ticket, will have a plurality of not
legs than 9,000. Sufficient returns
from the Fifth district have been re

PRESIDENT IS RE-ELECTED BY
OVERWHELMING VOTE.
~ CARRIES ALL DOUBTFUL STATES
Massachusetts and Minnesota Give
Big Pluralities for Roosevelt, but
Elect Democraitc Governors—New
York is 174,000 for Roosevelt.
New York, Nov. 10.—With the elec
tion returns still incomplete, the plu
- rality of the president in the nation,
according to all indications, will ex
ceed 1,600,000—the greatest plurality
ever given an American candidate.
The nearest approach to this vote was
In 1896, when McKinley received a
plurality approximating 850,000. The
interest now centers in Missouri and
Maryland. Late returns indicate that
the former state is in the Republican
column, so far as presidential elect
ors are concerned, but that Joseph W.
Folk, the Democratic candidate, has
been elected governor. In Maryland,
the presidential vote will probably be
cast for President Roosevelt. Late
returns indicate that Thomas A.
Smith (Dem.) has been elected to
congress in the First district by 460
plurality. In the other states, it is
eimnlir a miaefinn r»f nlupnlitlpc
I
The “solid south” was broken by
the probable defection of Missouri—
this section of the country usually
having thirteen states in the Demo
cratic column. The figures today
show but twelve states, with 133 votes
for Judge Parker.
Date returns indicate that the en
tire Republican state ticket, with the
exception of governor, is elected in
Missouri. President Roosevelt, it is
definitely known, has carried the
state.
North Swept for Roosevelt.
President Roosevelt carried all the
northern states—swept them, in fact—
and has 343 electoral votes.
The banner state is Pennsylvania.
Twenty-four hours after the polls
closed the returns from this state in
dicated that Roosevelt's plurality
would reach 485,000. Next was Illinois
with approximately 290,000 plurality
for Roosevelt. Ohio gave Roosevelt
210,000 and then came New
York state, where the president polled
approximately 174,000 votes more
than did Judge Parker. The New
York city returns are still incomplete,
but the amazement over the result
has not subsided. Judge Parker car
ried greater New York by over 41,000
votes.
In general, the situation is chiefly
Interesting because the ticket in many
of the states was cut. President
Roosevelt ran ahead of his ticket in
many localities, notably in Massachu
setts, where he secured a plurality of
SC.000 votes, .while the Republican
candidate for governor was defeated
by 35,000. In that state the legisla
ture is Republican and the entire Re
publican ticket, with the exception
of governor, was elected. In Missouri,
circumstances are similar. In Ne
braska, the definite announcement
that the legislature is Republican dis
poses of the statement that William
J. Bryan has aspirations for the Unit
ed States senatorship. In that state
j the race for the governorship is close,
j with J. H. Mickey (Rep.) in the
J lead. All Republican! congressmen
! are elected.
Minnesota Vote Is Split.
There is a curious situation in Min
nesota, where Roosevelt secured 125,
000 plurality, but where a Democratic
governor and a Republican lieutenant
governor were electeS. The election
of a Democratic governor is the sec
ond in the history of the state. Chair
man Babcock of the Republican con
gressional committee has been re
turned to congress from Wisconsin,
but Chairman Cowherd of the Demo
cratic congressional committee was
defeated in Missouri. The situation
In Colorado presents an interesting
phase. Roosevelt has carried the
state by probably 15,000, but the gov
ernorship is still in doubt, both sides
claiming victory.
As interesting to the voter as any
thing today were the statements Is
sued by Judge Parker and William J.
Bryan.
In his statement Judge Parker
declared that the people will soon
realize that “the tariff-fed trusts are
absorbing the wealth of the nation.”
He said- that when that time comes
the people will turn to the Democrat
ic party for relief. In this letter
Judge Parker says he shall never
seek a nomination nor public office.
He discusses the difficulties encount
ered by the Democrats in making
their campaign this year and makes
suggestions on harmony in the party.
Concluding, the judge says he does
not hesitate to say that the great
moral question that confronts the
Democrats is "shall the trusts and
corporations be prevented from con
tributing money to control or to aid
in controlling elections?”
In his statement, Mr. Bryan said,
referring to Judge Parker: “He did
as well as he could under the circum
stances, he was the victim of unfavor
able conditions and of a mistaken
party policy. The result was due to
the fact that the Democratic party at
tempted to he conservative in the
presence of conditions that demanded
radical action.”
Louisiana.
New Orleans, Nov. 10.—Louisiana’s
plurality for the national Democratic
ticket is about 35,000.
South Carolina.
Charleston, S- C., Nov. 9.—The Re
publican vote will hardly reach 10
per cent of the total vote. Seven
Democratic congressmen were elect
ed.
Tennessee.
Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 9.—The elec
tion returns ars slow coming In, but
it is practically certain that the state
will give Parker a majority of 25,000, |
while Fraser (Dem.) is re-elected gov- 1
ernor by about 10,000. Eight Demo-;
crats have been elected to congress,
leaving the complexion of the delega
tion unaltered. The election of Will
iam Bate to the United States senate
is certain.
—
Virginia.
Richmond, Va., Nov. 9.—The Demo
cratic majority on the presidential
ticket will be about 29,000. Nine j
Democratic congressmen out of a to-1
tal of ten have been chosen. Slemp,
the Republican incumbent in the
Ninth district, apparently is re-elect
ed by a majority of about 1.200.

partial returns from every senatorial
and representative district, claimed
the next legislature will stand: Sen

On president, Nebraska has gone
overwhelmingly for Roosevelt, esti
mates of his plurality going as high
as 75,000.
The proverbial slow returns for
Nebraska seem to be retarded more
than ever by the unusual length of
the ballot.
The returns from forty-three of the
ninety counties pf the state have
been received complete, and partial
returns from all the others. In these
counties Mickey has a plurality of
2,634, while in the same counties two
years ago his plurality was 1,556, or a
gain of 1,078. His plurality then in
the entire state was 5,355, and a plu
rality this year of 7,500 is therefore a
conservative estimate.
Connecticut.
New Haven, Nov. 9.—It is estimat
ed that Roosevelt’s plurality will
reach almost 33,000, which is several
thousand ahead of McKinley’s figures
in 1900. On the state ticket, from
governor down, as well as the con
gressional, there was a clean sweep.
