VOTERS SCRATCH ALL WAY DOWN BALLOT Inataal Discrimination shown by Those Who Did Take the Tronble to Go to the Polls. The general apathy which had marked the campaign waa manifest at the polls yesterday In Council Bluffs and a light vote was the result. Little interest was shown and so far as the city was con cerned, yesterday's was one of the most quiet elections In Ms history. Except from the fact that the banks and saloons were closed, and the gathering In the imme diate vicinity of the polling places, there was little to Indicate that an election was In progress. Even after the polls were closed there appeared to be but little interest in the result, and the crowds around the places where returns were received were conspic uous by their absence. It waa evident that those who had assembled to watch the returns were more Interested In the re sult of the congressional election across the river than In that of the local tickets. Owing to the large number of scratched ballots the returns from the city precincts wero late In coming In and It waa long after midnight before any definite figures were obtainable. Much Scratching; Done. Not in any county election for many years was there so much knifing and slash ing of the tickets as yesterday, and In sev eral of the precincts tho scratched bal lots equaled the straights. In one pre cinct the scratched ballots exceeded In number the straight. In the First pre cinct of the First ward tbere were 62 straight republican, 142 straight democratic and 142 scratched ballots. In the Second precinct tbere were 103 straight repub lican, 114 straight democratic and 173 scratched ballots. In the First precinct of the Second ward there were 147 scratched ballots aa against 125 straight republican and 122 straight democratic. In the Sec ond precinct of the Second ward the scratch log was not quite so vigorous and then, were 154 straight republican and 128 straight democratic and only 90 scratched ballots. In the First precinct of, the Third ward there were 114 straight republican, 80 straight democratic and 165 scratched bal lots. In the 8econd precinct of this ward there were 77 scratched ballots against 98 straight republican and 89 straight demo cratic ballots. In the First precinct of the Fourth ward there were 96 straight repub lican, 62 straight democratic and 151 scratched ballots. In the First precinct of the Fifth ward there were 164 straight republican, 118 straight democratic and 145 scratched ballots. In the Second precinct of this ward there were 69 scratched, 135 straight republican and 95 straight demo cratic ballots. Vote Very Light. The vote was a light one throughout the entire city and only about a two-thirds vote was polled. The appeal of Chairman Wright of the republican county central committee tor members of the party to vote early was evidently unheeded, as up to noon the vote In every precinct was un usually light. In some precincts not one fourth of the regular vote was polled by noon. Reports, however, from the country precincts Indicated that the normal vote for an off year had been polled. Practically complete returns at 2 o'clock this morning from twenty-one of the twenty-nine county precincts and from nine of the twelve city precincts show that the entire republican ticket! Is elected by ma jorities ranging from 300 to 1,000. This means the re-election of County Attorney KUlpack, Clerk of the District Court Theodore I Reed, Auditor R. V. Innes, Recorder E. E. Smith and Super visors Brandes and Bullls. The state ticket In Pottawattamie county receives over 1.000 majority. Congressman Walter I. Smith carries Pottawattamie county by about 1,000 votes and the Ninth district by over 6,000, as against nearly 7,000 In 1900, the decrease being due to 'the light vote. Returns from the Ninth district are however Incomplete. The republican Judicial ticket is elected, each of the Judges, Thornell, Green and Wheeler, receiving, according to Incom plete returns from the counties of the Fif teenth Judicial district, majorities of about 1,000 'each. Colonel C. G. Saunders, the republican nominee for state- senator, received about 800 majority over M. F. Roher, democratic candidate. Incomplete returns Indicate that the entire republican ticket In Kane town ship, .which includes two Justices of the peace for Council Bluffs, Is elected. Grevel rooflne. A. II. Reld. (41 Broadway.

LIGHT VOTE CAST IN IOWA Republicans Will Have Only About 70,000 Plurality in State. UNCLE HOD BOIES BEATEN FOR CONGRESS Democracy's Old War Horee Made ftaroe Fight, but Couldn't Land the Place He wna Look ing For. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, ' Nov. 4. (Special Tele gramsMeager returns from the stale have been received up to midnight by the com mittees, but enough has been received to Indicate that the republican plurality In the state Is about 70,000. This Is due to the unusually light vote, as the republicans have suffered more than the democrats. Chairman Ppence said at midnight: "It looks like our plurality would go above tbe 65.000 mark, which we set a few days ago. The returns show that It has not been possible to get the voters Interested In the campaign. The falling off bas boen general all over the state and of course we have suffered more than the democrat as compared with two years ago." Tbe republicans are claiming all tbe members of congress. The Second dis trict Is close and the precincts reporting show a loss of about ten to the precinct, which would cause the district to be about even, but'Scnator Hayward telegraphs from Davenport conceding the election of Wado (dem.) by 400. The returns from the Third district indicate that Hot re has made a great race and has carried Dubuque by 2,500 and made a deep cut In the repub lican vote In Blarkhawk, but not enough to elect him. Major Lacey telephoned late tonight tbat he bas the Sixth district by 2,000 plurality. Nothing has been beard from the First district. Light Vote Anticipated. Before the day had been finished reports from all over the state confirmed tbe fears of the party managers tbat there would be a very light vote In Iowa. Two years ago the vote in Iowa reached a total of 630,000, but last year despite an Interesting contest for state officers It fell to 890,000. It was hoped by tbe party managers that this would be slightly Increased but the result of tbe balloting in the cities Indi cates tbat the vote will not quite reach that total. Two years ago W. B. Martin for secretary ot state'- bad a plurality of 86,176. Last year A. B. Cummins for governor bad a plurality of 83,000 over Phillips, and Her riott for lieutenant governor had a little larger plurality. It waa expected that the chief falling off In tbe vote this year would be with the republicans, which 'would re duce the pluralities slightly. Congressional Contests. Tbe republican- pluralities two years ago In most of tbe, districts of Iowa were so large as to discourage tbe democrats. They were as follows: "First district. 3.600; Sec ond, 1,400; Third. 11,000; Fourth, 11,000; Fifth, .9,000; Sixth, 3,000; Seventh, 12.000; Eighth, 6,500; Ninth, 9,000; Tenth, 16,000; Eleventh, 12,000. . But the democrats set out to make a campaign In tbe first four districts and the Sixth. The chief inter est, however', centered in the Second dis trict, where alii' conceded tbe .result to be in doubt. Reports from that district are to the effect-that the election day waa an exciting one, especially in Davenport, Mus catine, Clinton, Iowa City and other cities of the district. JTherer was a great deal ot bard work done In the' Third district and the forces lined up for Gov. Boles made a great deal of noise. In the First and Sixth there were many places where the contest was fierce. Local Contests. Tbe only contest In Des Moines wss over a Justice of the peace on whom a fight bad been made because of an unpopular decision In a criminal case. Otherwise the vote was without Interest.. The county In which Des Moines Is situated Is now so overwhelm ingly republican that but little, pains have been taken to- get the returns and the exact result will not be known for several days. Chairman Spence returned from Leon to day after voting and received returns at republican headquarters. Hepburn's Big Lend. . CRESTON, " la-.. Nov. 4. (Special Tele gram.) At 11 o'clock tonight reports Indi cate that Hepburn for congress of the Eighth will surely be elected by a majority of 3,000 to 4,000. Tbe vote Is lighter for both parties than two years ago. Hepburn Is running somewhat ahead of tbe state ticket. In the county a three-cornered figbt on county attorney will surely elect Htgbee, the democratlo candidate, by -100 plurality, Rowell, tha prohibition candi date for county attorney, polled a much larger vote than any other candidate on his ticket and pulled largely from tbe repub lican candidate.

H. Bayllss from conviction on tbe charge of conspiracy. This escape binges on the possibility of one or both ot the other parties to the alleged conspiracy are arrested and convicted. Bayllss was held and tried on tbe above charge, and on being brought Into court for sen tence a motion to arrest sentence wss sus tained by the point above referred to, to the effect that one person does not con stitute a conspiracy, and tbat should two persons held on tbe charge he acquitted and a third be found guilty thst the third roan could not be held under the law. The point is well sustained where all three par ties are held and tried, but In this Instance neither of the other two parties to tbe al leged conspiracy were ever apprehended. Bayllss Is held on another charge and the matter will go over until tbe next term of court, when the new point rained will be ruled on by the court.
