The Frontier. VOLUME XXXVII. O’NEILL, NEBRASKA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1916. NO. 2&I Nebraska Votes Dry And Goes Democratic Vote on Governor Will be Close, but Favor Neville Wilson Landslide Helps Entire Dem ocratic Ticket in County. All Democratic Candidates Carry the County With Large Majorities, Except McDermott for Congress, Bedford for the Legislature and Duffy For Sheriff. It has been impossible to get figures upon the county officers, but the following have been elected and the ma jorities are estimated. On each candidate they might be a little more or a little less. Following are the officers elected: Representative—Dennis H. Cronin . 125 County Treasurer—Robert Gallagher. 1,000 County Clerk—P. C. Kelley. 100 Clerk of the District Court—T. J. Coyne. 200 Sheriff.-.In doubt County Superintendent—Minnie B. Miller. 250 County Attorney—Hugh J. Boyle. 275 County Assessor—Ben Winchell. 200 County Surveyor—M. F. Norton. 200 County Judge—C. J. Malone. 230 The vote on sheriff is very close. On the entire county canvass Peter Duffy is leading Henry Grady by five votes ' and there are about twenty mail votes to count These votes will determine who is to fill the office of sheriff for the next two years. Joseph Schollmeyer was elected supervisor in district No. 2; Mike Rotherham was elected in district No. 4 and Fred Watson was elected in district No. 6. The first two are democrats and the latter is a republican and the county board will remain the same politically as it has the past few years, four democrats and three republicans. The election last Tuesday resulted in a landslide for the democratic party in Holt county and Nebraska. At this hour, 10:30 Friday morning, enough returns have not been received from the state to accurately determine the result but the great vote given President Wilson in the state seems to have carried with him the entire demo cratic ticket.

This county went democratic overwhelmingly, Wilsor receiving a majority of over 600 with Josie missing anc the mail vote to count. Senator Hitchcock has a majority of 395 in the county with Josie and the mail vote missing. This will increase his majority to over 400. On governor Neville leads Sutton by 161 votes with Josie and the mail vote missing. On chief justice of the supreme court Judge Morrisey leads Judge Fawcett 606 votes with Josie and the mail vote not counted. John Robertson leads Joseph Matousek 344 votes with Josie and the mail votes missing. He will have probably 350 majority in the county. We understand thatMatousek carried Boyd county by about 100 votes, but his majorities in the other counties if he has any will hardly overcome Robertson’s majority in this county. With Josie and the mail vote missing the dry amend mentn carried this county with a majority of 411 votes. Thursday evening’s Sioux City Tribune contained the following account of the election: New York, Nov. 9.—With President Wilson leading by an apparently safe margin in North Dakota, California and New Hampshire, it beeme evident this afternoon that he will be returned to the White House by an electoral vote of at least 273. Hughes has a total electorial vote of 243, with the vote of New Mexico debateable, although the trend in that state is to Wilson. In California Wilson has a lead of 3,058 with all Hughes precincts reported, and only 340 missing. New Hampshire, with all returns in and part of them officially canvassed gives Wilson a majority of 117. In North Dakota-President Wilson has a lead of 1,420, with all but 79 small precincts reported. In Minnesota Hughes has a lead of approximately 1,000. His lead in that state throughout the day has fluttered from 306 to 1,125. Barring the results of recounts or soldiers’ votes it is apparently certain that President Wilson is re elected. Whether or not there will ultimately be a con test in congress cannot be stated at this time. Long Branch, N. J., Nov. 9.—Messages received by Secretary Tumulty at 3:30 p. m., convinced him that President Wilson had carried New Hampshire and Cali fornia, which, on the basis of states previously tabulated, would give the president enough votes. New Hampshire message was from Senator Hollis and said on a recount Mr. Wilson would carry the state by 500. The president made no comment, preferring to wait the full count. San Francisco, Cal., Nov. 9.—Five Thousand, five hundred and seventeen precincts out of 5,870 give: Hughes 449,360; Wilson 452,416. Wilson’s plurality, 3,056. This leaves 353 precincts to hear from. St. Paul, Minn., Nov. 9.—Charles E. Hughes was holding his slight lead over President Wilson in Minnesota when returns from 2,800 precincts out of 3,024 in the state had been compiled at 2 p. m., today, the count standing: Wilson, 173,213; Hughes, 173,652, New York, Nov. 9.—The election passes into the second day of uncertainty with President Wilson and Charles Evans Hughes both anxiously awaiting the count in a few western states—the pivotal ones being California, with 13 electoral votees; Minnesota, with 12; New Mexico, with 3, and North Dakota, with 5. Although still so close that the result could not be re garded as assured, indications over night returns seemed to dispose of previously doubtful states by placing West Virginia’s eight votes in the Hughes column and giving the four votes of Idaho and seven from Washington to Presi dent Wilson. The Hughes total thus became 243 and the Wilson total 255, and 33 doubtful, with 266 necessary to elect. How They Stand. President Wilson can win with either California or Minnesota, but in addition must get either North Dakota or New Mexico. Mr. Hughes, to win, must have both California and Minnesota or either of them and both North Dakota and New Mexico. In California President Wilson had a lead of nearly 4,000 with one-tenth of the states’s precincts missing. Oi the 258, 21 are in the republican strongholds and the others are in northern districts where the president’s vote has been heavy. Both party managers claim the state. In Minnesota the most dramatic race of all was being run hour by hour. Beginning yesterday, President Wil son’s lead of 10,000 had slowly melted down before the Hughes vote from the rural districts until it was wipec ^ II Hi lllllllllllllllllillllllllllllllllllillllll l Hi Hi l l.

The Wilson votes began coming in only to be offset b; a Hughes burst and so the contest shifted all night, wit first one ahead and then the other. Early this mornin with about 500 precincts unreported, Hughes was leadin with less than 1,000. North Dakota Close. Mr. Wilson had a lead of over 700 votes on the lates returns from North Dakota, with nearly 60 districts un reported. Both party leaders claimed the election. With the count half in from New Mexico, Mr. Hughei had a margin of less than 300 votes over President Wilson Returns from far outlying districts are expected to conn in slowly today. The latest returns from Washington early today ap parently carried that state into the democratic column President Wilson had a lead of over 900 votes on the lates figures with about 500 districts missing. Idaho was taken from the doubtful column at an earl] hour and was again given to president Wilson, who had i lead of over 13,000 votes on the last returns. Less than 20C districts have not reported. Mr. Hughes has a lead of over 3,500 votes on the re turns early today from West Virginia, with only about 40< districts unreported. An 11th hour development in the election situatioi came this morning from Concord, N. H., where Secretary of State Bean stated that with the New Hampshire "re turns complete, but only partly verified officially, Wilsoi led by 121 votes. Verification of the New Hampshire re turns was still in progress. McCormick Stands Pat. Chairman McCormick reappeared at democratic head quarters shortly after 11 o’clock. “It’s all over,” he said. “We have cleaned them up We stick unflinchingly to our original figures: Wilson b] 288 electoral votes.” Mr. McCormick added that every precaution was be ing taken to protect the ballot boxes where the vote wat running close. Charles B. Warren, republican national committee man from Michigann, after a conference with Chairman Willcox and other national committeemen gave out thu statement as reflecting the concensus of opinion among the republican leaders. i “The election depends upon the count in California, Minnnesota, North Dakota, New Mexico, and New Hamp (Continued on page four.)
