' State Chairman Hayward Says it Will
Be Over Twenty Thousand.
JOY IN THE REPUBLICAN CAMP
Indication! that the Vote Has Been
Heavier Tbaa Anticipated Before
Election, Though by
Meaaa a fall Dae.
Nebraska ha again gone republican with
handsome majority for Judge Reese and
all the candidal on the state ticket.
, Returns are art 111 too meaner to give any
Idea of majorities, but enough Is at hand
to show that Reese will come close to, If
not pass, the handsome majority of 23,000
polled by Judge Letton two years ago.
While only a few precincts have reported
up to the hour of going to press, they show
slight gains as compared with the vote for
Letton, and warrant the clal mmade by
State Chairman Haywavd that Reese's ma
jority In the state would be between 20.000
and J0.OO0. ' t
The first accurate return to go Into state
headquarters were those from' Douglas
county, which reported about 8:30xo'cloek
that fifty-two preolncta gave Reese 2,186
majority over Loomls, and Indicated some
3,000 republican majority for the county.
According to surface Indications the- re
gents are running slightly ahead of the
candidate for Judge and the candidate for
railway commissioner, Being unoppoaed ex
cept by the prohibition and socialist nomi
nees, is sure to have a unheard of plu
rality. It Is expected that returns will be slow,
as usual, and that accurate figures will not
be available for sometime.
LINCOLN. Nov. 5. (Special Telegram.)-Twenty-four
precincts out of flftythree In
Lancaster county give Reese 2.251; Loomls.
974, Indicating that Reese will 'carry the
county by 2,500 majority. The entire re
publican ticket will be elected, with YV. E.
Stewart, for district Judge, slightly In donbt.
In the twenty-four preclncta named Stewart
running only SOU ahead of A. J. Sawyer,
democratic candidate. The vote on supreme
Judge shows Reese to be getting 2V votes to
for Loomls.

A clean aweep for the republican ticket In
hat the Douglas couuty election figures
pad. For the first time In vears not u
ngle republican ha fallen down from top
bottom and the majorities In 'each case
re of the substantial variety. With a few
recincts missing It looks as If the leaders
111 be Leslie for county judge and Haverly
or county clerk, so far polling the hlgh
t number of votes 1 concerned, although
'ulte a number on tho county ticket nro
ilrly well bunched. The majorities of tin.
Igh men will approximate 4.1X11. while th
iwest on the republican ticket will haw
n the neighborhood of 1,000 to th good
ver hi democratia opponent. As was ap
arent early In the canvass the democrats
ave up at the start all hope of securing
1 party victory and centered their efforts
n three or four candidates. The only one
hey had any hope to save were Gallagher
or district court clerk. Bridges for sheriff.
;isaser for treasurer and Cosgrove tor
ssessor. While in a few case they cut
'own the majorities of their opponents
hey were unable to mnke any headway
gainst the overwhelming republican sentl
lent. On several section of the ticket the re.
ubllcans had no opposition. Special refer
mce I made to tho judge of the district
ourt, the justices of the peace and con
tables and the school board member, all
f which went republican by default.. ,
On the slat ticket Douglas county come
landsomnly to tha front with one of th.i
argest majorities for .Judge Reese and his
epublican associates aver given by this
ounty. Reese's majority will be in tho
clghborhood of 3,000 and the other on tho
Icket are running aoim-whit better than
.he head.
. . Surprise In Sooth Omaha.
One, of .the surprises of th election I
the outcome In South Omaha, which went
.'(publican on some of th ticket. .Andy
Gallagher, the South -Omaha, candidate,
heading the democratic ticket, had been
boasting of a prospective majority of from
800 to 1,000 in bis home town, but when
the footings wer made hla majority hud
.shrunk to 375.
The day was perfect from the point of
weather condition find the votera lined
up early at the . booths. The machine
everywhere wer clicking almost con
stantly. It was thought that the voters
were doing a great deal of scratching, but
It turned out afterward that this notion
came from the fact that much time waa
consumed in voting on tho numerous bond
propositions. In South Omaha tha cent-i'
of attention wa claimed by tho contest
ovel- annexation, which produced an un
usually heavy vote, closely approximating
tho total registration. In the upper wards
of Omaha the vote was steady from t!v
start, while In the lower ward It wa
light In the morning and heavy In the af
ternoon. Mayor Dahlman, Councilman
Brldgea and Candidate Elsaaser apent most
of the day In the Third ward attempting
personally to line up the crowd there for
tha democratic favorite.
Republican Cheer Return.
"The entire ticket 1 elected, and that's
better than figuring majorities," said My
ron L. Learned, chairman of the republican
county committee at S o'clock. He might
have said so at 7, for he knew it. "We re
gret we could not have pulled through on
annexation, for tho rest of the republican
ticket was elected," laughingly added Chair
man Learned. "I really don't ee that w.
need to talk much over this thing; we all
worked, and that Is' why we won; that to
gether with the natural confidence the p
ple have In the republican party. I am In
deed gratified, aa we all are, at the suc
cess of Bob Smith and Frankw Fuxav
against the strong fight waged by our
friends, the enemy. Fire wa centered on
these nteu, but they have pulled tbrougli
unscathed and unscorched. It ia a tplendid
victory."
Republican headquarter, which are ' !n
the Patterson block at Seventeenth ant
Farnam streets, In which also th demo
crats headquarter are located, were
buy hlva from I o'clock on up to t. Work
er and other swarmed ther to hear tliw
results and cheer the victor. Moat ot the
candidate were there a good portion o'
thla time and enthusiasm was at high plu-li.
Chairman Learned was beslt-gcd on ail iid
with congratulations. Onco early In ti
evening he attempted to go from th Int.:
office to the hall through tne outrr roor.:,
but he waa unable to make the Journey, ti e
crowd pressed In on him so.
Sheriff-elect Bralley and Treasurer-ele.-t
Furay wer the center of schownrs of- f
licltatlona. They watched tho return wtm
eagerness until nssured of their election.
"I worked hard for the whole ticket,"
aid Judge Sutton to Chairman Learned.
"In my own ward in South Omaha I ai
this to many voters: 'Now I am safe; yo.i
go and work for Smith. The fight Is on
blm. Trade on me. If you wish, but woik
for Bmlth," "
filoouay Crowd of Democrat.
A early a 7:t5 only one man at demo
cratic headquaru-r atill clung to hope of
tvtnnlng, and he wa the man who held 15o
trump and 100 ace In a penochle game.
Thla popular pastime, occupying tha very
center of the blggeat room In the head
luarters, attracted far more Interest than
any mere election returns.
Frank L. Weaver, chairman, and Gioris
Holme, secretary of tha county committee,
ere among those who tarly left th
'oonn, convinced of democratic defeat.
Hie fact is there was no genuine belief t i
