\l \ m ELECTTD GOVERNOR , . . _ t , < MTt TICKET. 'LEGISLATURE ALSO REPUBLICAN .Constitution : : ! Amendment Providing for Elective Railroad Commission Carried Republicans Elect Five Out of Six Congressmen. - Lincoln , Neb. , Nov. 7. George L. Sheldon ( Rep. ) is elected governor of Nebraska by a plurality of from 10,000 to 18,000 and carries with him proba bly , the entire Republican state ticket. The returns show a Republican loss of barely one vote to the precinct out side of Lincoln and Omaha. These two cities will nearly offset the Dem ocratic gain. The Republican state central com mittee claims not only the state tick et , but five of the six congressmen and a majority of thirty-seven on joint ballot in the legislature , insur ing a Republican successor to United States Senator Millard. Democratic state headquarters do not concede the Republican claims , but made no formal statement. The vote was lighter by far than two years ago , and the scratching of tickets made the count slow. In the city of Lincoln the Republic an plurality of former years was maintained , Republicans electing the entire legilative and county tickets. Pollard ( Rep. ) for congress in the Iirst district and Hinshaw in the Fourth are elected by reduced plural ities. The indications are that the consti tutional amendment providing for an elective railroad commission carried. Six precincts out of twenty in the city of Lincoln show an average Re publican gain of eleven to the pre cinct. This indicates almost certainly the election of the entire Republican - legislative and county ticket in this ( Lancaster ) county , with the possible exception of county attorney. Douglas county divided its vote and elected a Democratic county attorney and congressman , Hitchcock , while sending a Republican delegation to the legislature. Town of Crete complete , three voting ing precincts , gives a Republican gain over two years ago on governor of 95. JReturns indicate the election of Boyd ( Rep. ) to congress from the Third district IOWAlsjN DOUBr Both Sides Claim Election of Their Candidate for Governor. Des.Moines , Nov. 7. For the first time in many years the gubernatorial * result In Iowa is in doubt. Although , both Republican and Democratic state managers claim the election of their candidates for governor , all the returns received so far , numbering about 250 , indicate that only a com plete count will determine the result. The 250 precincts already received show a loss for Cummins of nearly 40 per cent , which , if maintained , would mean the election of Porter ( Dem. ) by a small plurality. Iowa will have ten Republicans in its next congressional delegation. It Is believed that Major J. F. Lacey , for many years representative of the Sixth district , has been defeated. In the First district both Republicans And Democrats claim victory. The next legislature will be safely Republican and on joint ballot will probably elect J. P. Dolliver to the United States senate. Sioux City Four precincts in Sioux , City gives Cummins ( Rep. ) , for gov- 'ernor , 801 ; Pbrter ( Dem1. ) , 1,1&9. Same gave Hubbard ( Rep. ) , for con gress , 672 ; Dickson ( Dem. ) , 973. Des Moines , la. , Nov. 7. An unusu al amount of independent voting has piflde the count slow in Iowa , but re turns fro mabout 15 precincts indi cate Cumins' election for governor over Porter ( Dem. ) , although all Re publican pluralitie's will be reduced. The bolting Republicans have kept good their threat of scratching. North Dakota. Vargo , Nov. 7. Scattered returns indicate that Fisk has been elected judge of the state supreme court over .Knauf , the Republican nominee. For governor , Sarles ( Rep. ) and the rest of the Republican ticket are elected. Later returns may show that Sarles had a close call. Burke ( Dem. ) , for governor , carried Fargo by a big ma jority. The chaii ien of the Republican > fl4 Democratic state central commit tees. # re both claiming the election of their candidates for | gov > 3rn'or ' and justice of the supreme court. These two offices are the ones on which Ithere was a contest. Owing to the closeness of the election and tne slowness of getting returns it will be late today before anything definite will be known concerning the result. Republicans Carry Delaware. Wilmington , Nov. 7 , The Repub licans have carried Delaware and ejected Burton for congress over Mar- yet ( Dem. ) . They will also control the Pela-vynre legislature ttfat will elect a successor lo United States Senator Al ice ( Rep. ) , Congressional Ejections. Chicago , Nov. 7 , Returns from the .congressional elections show that 197 Republicans and 150 Democrats have been elected to the sixtieth congress. Thirty-nine districts are still to tic Jtieard from. MORAN SWAMPEDJN BAY STATE Guild Re-elected Governor of Massa chusetts byIncreased Plurality. J3osn , A-.ov. 7. Tee Republicans v\ io vik-i.w'.o m i e state tiecuon , Governor ( jaild being re-elected by a I consiuerabiy increased plurality over last year , while his opponent , District Attorney John B. Moran of Boston , the candidate of the Democratic and * the Prohibition party and Independ ence league , received a somewhat larger vote than that given the Dem ocratic candidate a year ago. With two-thirds of the state vote tabulated , Mr. Guild's plurality was estimated at | about 37,000. The Republicans reelected - elected their entire state ticket , al- 1 though Lieutenant Governor Draper fell considerably behind Governor Guild. The next legislature will ba I Republican by. the usual large ma jority in both houses and this will in sure the re-election of United Sta'tes Senator W. Murray Crane of Dalton. The Massachusetts delegation to con gress will remain practically the fame. The outcome of the election was a considerable disappointment to Mr. Moran and his fellow campaigners , E. Gerry Brown of Brockton , candidate for lieutenant governor and George Fred Williams of Dedham. The Mcran campaign was handicapped by lack of organization , a meager campaign fund and opposition from a large number ol ! former leaders. The vote came from the wage * earners principally , as was shown by the strong indorsement given the Suffolk county district attor ney in nearly all the mill cities and other industrial centers. Illinois. Chicago , Nov. 7. The indications are that John F. Smulski ( Rep. ) , foi state treasurer , has been elected by ' a majority of from 100,000 to 125,000. Scratching of ballots in Cook county was so extensive that returns were unusually slow. Indications are that Strassheim , Republican candidate for sheriff , and John R. Thompson , Republican candi date for county treasurer , are victor ious by 25,000. Louis Rinaker , Re publican candidate for county judge , has a plurality of 20,000. The new municipal court judges will all be Re publicans , and the assistant states at torney , Olsen , has been elected chief justice. A possible exception to the election of Republican judges foi the municipal court is Banrett , a col ored nominee , who was scratched ' heavily. . South Dakota , Sioux Falls , S. D. , Nov. 7. Reports from the state are very meager , owing to the slowness of the count , due to the great scratching of. county tickets. Incomplete returns indicate the elec tion of the Republican congressmen .and- Republican state , ticket by not less than 35,000. Latest returns in dicate that the Republicans have carrieed South Da kota by 25,000 to 35COO plurality , a falling off of from 15,000 to 20,000 from the the vote two years ago. Philo Hall ( Rep. ) and W. H. Parkei ( Rep. ) are elected congressmen-at- large. The Republicans will have at least 85 out of 133 members of the legislature. Wisconsin. Milwaukee , Nov. 7. The Republican state ticket , headed by Governor James D. Davidson , swept the state by an estimated plurality of at least 40,000 over John A. Aylward , the Dem ocratic candidate , and his colleagues. Returns showed the election of nine Republicans and one Democratic con gressmen , and one district , the Third , still in doubt. Special returns to the Sentinel from the Third congressional district indi cate the election of James W. Murphy ( Dem. ) over Congressman James W. Babcock ( Rep. ) by an estimated plu rality of 3,000. Minnesota. St. Paul , Nov. 7. Governor John son has been re-elected governor of Minnesota over his Republican oppo nent , A. L. Cole , by a majority of at least 30,000. This majority for a Democratic candidate is unprecedent ed in Minnesota. Four years ago Van Sant ( Rep. ) was elected governor by a majority of 50,000. Michigan. Detroit , Nov. 7. Governor Warner and the entire Republican state ticket have been elected by 70,000 majority , the Republican congressional candi dates in all of the twelve Michigan districts have been elected and the Republicans will have a large major ity in the state legislature , with a possibility of its entire membership.

REST OF TICKET STILL IN DOUBT Hearst Carries Greater New York , Buffalo , Rochester , Utica , Troy Elmira - mira and Some Other Cities Republicans - publicans Gain in Rural Districts. New York , Nov. 7. According to incomplete returns from all over ths state , Charles E. Hughes , the Repub lican candidate , has been elected gov ernor of New York over William Ran dolph Hearst by approximately a plurality of 50,000. Outside of Greateer New York , with 160 election districts missing , Hughes had a plurality of about 124,000. In Greater New York , with 69 election districts missing , Hearst had a plu rality of 75,036. No definite figures are yet available as to the results with regard to the subordinate state officers and both Democrats and Republicans are claim ing victories from lieutenant gov ernor down. Neither Mr. Hearst nor his cam paign managers would concede the election of Mr. Hughes , maintaining that when all votes should have been counted Mr. Hearst will have a safe majority. As was generally expected , Mr. Hearst showed his greatest strength in the cities through the state and took out of the Republican column a number of the more important munic ipalities which heretofore have been Republican. Among the cities which gave Hearst a plurality were Buffalo Rochester , Utica , Troy , Elmira , Rome , Little Falls and Janiestown. All oi these , except Rome and Utica , were Republican two years ago. Mr.Hughes did not gain a single city. The Re publican ticket v/as successful , bul sustained serious losses In Syracuse Gloversville , Amsterdam , Ithaca , Sclie- nectady , Watertown and Plattsburg. State Senator Thomas F. Grady oi Tammany Hall has been re-elected over Thomas Rock , who has been known in the campaign as "Eight- Hour" Rock , and who claimed he had been "tricked" by tie Independence league. There were many odd turns to th balloting. Here in New York , it was Richmond borough that defeated Mr. Hearst for mayor a year ago and it was Brooklyn , with a big plurality , which helped him to make the race so close. Mr. Hearst barely carried Brooklyn yesterday , but ran ahead in Richmond. In Schenectady , one of the best organized labor cities in the Unit ed States , it was expected Mr. Hearst would have a substantial plurality. The Republican ticket was successful by 374 votes , as against a Higgins plurality of 1,621 two years ago. Election Night Crowds. New York turned out its myriads of people last night for the usual elec tion night revel. All the pent-up en thusiasm of an unprecedented state campaign was vented in a frenzy ol noise. Broadway from Forty-second to Fourteenth street and along Parl ; Row , from the Brooklyn bridge to the end of "newspaper row , " was one mass of shouting , shoving people. Ol noise , there was every variety it was possible to create with the use ol"a good pair of lungs and a tin horn , a cow bell tir other devices. It was a boisterous crowd , but good naturecl. Beginning at Times square , at Forty- second street , Broadway was impassa ble to everything except pedestrians as far down town as Twenty-third street. The greatest crushes were around Times square , Herald , Madison square and Park Row. At these places , as well as several other points , bulletins were flashed upon screens and everybody cheered impartially. Around Herald square the jam was terrific. Street cars could not get through and only by getting in the currents that surged up and down Broadway was it possible for a pedes trian to make progress. California. San Francisco , Nov. 7. General George Stone , chairman of the Repub lican state central committee , said to the Associated Press : "Reports from the state are coming in very slowly. There is no doubt as to the result , it is only a question of plurality. Gillett - lett has carried San Francisco by a plurality of from 500 to 1,000 , and the enure Republican state ticket , includ ing eight congressmen , has been elect ed by a plurality exceeding" 25,000. " Washington. Seattle , Nov. 7. Late returns point to an overwhelming Republican vic tory in the state of Washington. W. E. Humphrey , Wesley L. Jones and Francis W. Cushman , congressmen-at' , large , all Republicans , will be re turned. The house of representatives and state senate will be strongly Re publican. Nevada. Reno , Nov. 7. Vote counting , which is proceeding slowly , indicates a Dem ocratic-Silver party victory. Sparks , for governor , is running ahead of Mitchell in all quarters. Returns show Sparks , Bartlett , for congress , and Sweeney , for justice of the su preme court , in the lead. Wyoming. . Cheyenne , Nov. 7. The entire Re publican state ticket has been elected by good majorities and the legislature , which will elect a senator , will be overwhelmingly Republican. " " r Food to work on is food to live on.

NATIONAL BISCUnXCOMPANY ' 'REDEEMING NEBRASKA- " There is a certain grim , sardonic humor in the contention of the re publican party of Nebraska that it , and it alone , must be given the high privilege af redeeming the state from the shame of years of republican misrule. There is no freshness in the joke , however. It is merely an old , old republican "chestnut , " reburnished and clad in new words to fit a new occasion. The high protectionists , guard ing the citadel of government fav or of the "interests , " have insisted that the tariff structure must be saved from the profaning touch of democracy that revision demand ed by public opinion must come from within the republican party from the friends of the tariff idea. And what revision have \ve i seen ? The spokesmen of the great in dustrial trusts entrenched in the United States senate declare that the'y , and they alone , must be en trusted with the task of devising ways and means for trust regula tion. They profess a holy horror at the mere thought of interven tion by the "demagogues" of democracy. And what relief has the senate yet made effective ? In Nebraska the argument is even more grotesque. "Reform" must be left to that party which , throughout its years of power : has fastened the burdensome evils upon us. The tariff must be re vised only by the friends of the tariff ; the trusts must be regulated only by the friends of the trusts , the cure of corruption in Nebraska must be entrusted to the authors of corruption. What honest reform dare the people hope _ for in such event ? World-Herald. Sparks Quills , Fred and Irene Cop eland have the mumps. Miss Wagner is progressing nicely with her school.

The Red Front has begun ex cavating at the rear of their store and will build a frame warehouse 32x60 ft. , with a basement of stone. This will occupy nearly all the space back of their store and will be a great convenience in handling their goods. The dirt is , being hauled out and dumped on the low parts of streets , mostly , which is much needed to fill up water holes and frog ponds. Messrs. Jackson and Bray ton are enterprising and progressive merchants and decided to build when a favorable opportunity was presented that meets their de mands. A fire started this' morning in the building west of THE DEMO CRAT office and had it not been for the prompt action of the fire department and citizens , the build ing would have been burned to the ground and , probably , would have swept this part of town ( block 12) ) , as a high wind was blowing from the north. We desire to thank all who helped or rendered assistance to put out the fire. The fire started from ashes being dumped beside the building which had been taken from the stov # earlylhis morning and appeared I to have no fire in them. Perfect In quality. Moderate in price.
