IU'i oris from a small number of country
districts In Nebraska Indicate that corn
busking engaged the attention of a big
rhaie of tho farmers; and delayed fall plow
ing was also under way after the recent
rain. The country vote will te very close
to a normal total, however, because of tho
Interest that has been worked up In the
lunt week by democratic efforts to gather
In votes under the nonpartisan cloak.
Where republican voters have been reached
with news 6f what was hatching they have
responded in encouraging manner,
of the stale campaign has oeen worked up.
In Custer county the only real excitement
but not over the candidates of the party.
Although Custer has a representative on
the democratic supreme court ticket In
Judge Dean the fight over county dlvlrion
has put everything else In the background.
Tonight both sides claim victory.
LINCOLN. Nov. 2.-(Specl il Telegram)
This was the quietest election day wit
nessed In Lincoln for many a year. The
local political managers rested easy In the
assurance that they had done whatever
could be done and left the rest to the
voters.
There were very few carriages in evi
dence for the use of slow voters, although
the democrats had not entirely ''neglected
this feature.
The registration In Lincoln was 1,000 short
of normal, and no little Interest was ap
parent that the mayor did not appoint any
, special policemen, as has been oustomary
In other years.
Indications all seem to assure a republi
can victory for the county candidates, al
though tho democrats are claiming they
will elect two and fcosHlhly three. The
lack of excitement Is taken as a bad sign
for tho democrats.
One of the very prominent men of Lin
coln, who desired to vote second In his pre
clrct, spoiled his ballot by making a cross
in tho first circle, the democratic. He had
to get another ballot, as he wanted to cast
a straight republican ticket, and from force
of habit marked a cross at the top of the
ballot. This year that happened to be the
democratic column.
After hearing the returns from Douglas
and several scattering precincts. Chalr
V Mian Hay ward of the republican state cen-
tral committee tonight estimated the entire
state ticket la elected by about 25,000 plu
rality.
"We managed to head off the malicious
circulars sent out by the democrats In
the towns," said Mr. Hayward. "In the
country precincts we were not able to do
much, but everything appears to be favor
able for the election of the entire ticket by
pluralities near 25.000."
Five products in Lancaster county give
Barnes, SCh; Faweett. 475; Sedgwick. 448;
Dean, 2T.9; Good. 266; Sullivan. 26.
At local republican headquarters It was
stated the republican candidates were hold
ing their own throughout the county and
the state candidates would undoubtedly
carry the county by good majorities,

NORFOLK, Neb., Nov. 2 (Special Tele
gram.) With blue skies and a crisp air
featuring election day all over northern Ne
braska, the farmers In many Instances
clung to their cornfields, where huxklnv
was the paramount issue, and as a result
the vote cast In the northern half of the
Itate was exceedingly light. Not half the
normal vote was cast In Norfolk, and re
ports from all over this region Indicate the
same condition. Early returns tonight
looked favorable for the three republican
supreme court candidates. This city, the
home of Judge Barnes, gave him a big
vote, and Indications tonight were that he
had run strong all over north Nebraska.
Early returns Indicated that the fake dem
ocratic letter had reacted In favor of
Barnes and Faweett The democrats were
desperate all over thla part of the state

outcome as to clerk Is even, democrats are
offering a few odds on sheriff, but are
wary about It. Both of the democratic
candidates are running for third terms and
the records of both have been attacked In
the campaign severely.
The local situation has absorbed atten
tion almost to the exclusion of the state
ticket. There are some evidences of a lit
tle cutting by republicans in favof of Sul
livan, but these evidence at the close of
the campaign were not as strong as a
month ago.
Straight Tickets In Adams.
HASTINGS, Neb., Nov. 2. Speclal Tele
gram.) Early Adams county returns are
favorable to the republican state ticket,
but the majorities probably will be small.
Tho vote in the city and county was nor
mal for an off year election. Straight
party votes were more numerous on both
sides than In any recent election. The
republicans and democrats will divide
county offices, possibly the larger number
going to the democrats.
Division Flaht In Caster.
BROKEN BOW, Neb., Nov. 2. (Special
Teh gram.) An Immense vote was polled to
day In Custer county, more particularly In
Broken Bow township. The day was an
Ideal one and pearly every automobile In
this section was pressed Into service to
bring out the voters. i
It wus the hottest election ever held In
this county. The all-absorbing topic, to the
complete exclusion of the atate and county
tickets, was county division. Broken Bow
township voted solid against division. It be
ing estimated over 800 votes were cast by
the antls. Advices from all parts of the
county show the people were thoroughly
alive to the division question and turned
out en masse.
The feeling was so great In division towns
that cards were passed about advising peo
ple not to vote for Broken Bow candidates.
Democrats Lose
at Double Voting
Headed Off in Their Attempt to
Repeat at the South Omaha
Polls.
Democratic voters of Omaha, South
Omaha and Douglas county who thought
to beat the voting machines and have their
votes registered twice for Sullivan were
beaten at their own game and Instead of
accomplishing their purpose they In reality
threw away one vote. Some conceived the
Idea that they could vote for three, but
that two of these could be Sullivan, so
they pulled the lever on Sullivan for both
democratic and populist places.
That was where they went wrong, for
E. E. E. Uldgeway superintendent of th
machines, says that the machines were
so arranged within that no matter whether
a vote waa cast for Sullivan as a demo
cratic or a populist but one vote was re
corded. The Instructions given with the .voting
machines contains this Instruction and
caution:
'in canvassing th vot for an endorsed
candidate for an office to which more than
one person is elected, the counters of that
candidate being connected by an endorsing
bar, the register of one counter only for
suih candidate must be taken.
"The endorsing bar has caused the vote
for such endorsed candidate to be registered
on all the counters where his name ap
hi ara. The r turns from the other coun
ters ti.ould be entered on tha return sheet
as do), as they are only duplicates.
"Never add together the vote on en
di -s-d candidate counters which ar con
moied by ei. doming bar."

NEW YORK. Nov. 2. -At 9 o'clock returns
from 900 election districts In New York
City out of 1,679 gave Gaynor, democrat,
131.133; Bannard. fusion, 91.768; Hearst, In
dependent, 73,958. If this proportion Is
maintained Gaynor will have a plurality of
72,000 over Bannard and the latter a plural
ity of 32,00 over Hearst.
', At 9 o'clock the teturns from BOO election
districts, in New York City for comptroller,
give Prendergast, fusion, 6,662; Moore,
democrat, 71,471.
If this proportion Is maintained Prend
ergast will have a plurality of 40,000.
At the same hour the returns from 405
districts in New York for president of the
Doard of Aldermen gave Mitchell, fusion,
82.KC; Galvin, democrat, 71.722. If this pro
portion Is maintained Mitchell will hire
a plurality of 37,000.
Bannard concedes the Gaynor victory,
but maintains that the fusion forces will
control the Board of Estimate.
NEW YORK, Nov. 2. The features of to
day's election were the general absence of
disorder and the rapidity with which the
vote was cast, notwithstanding the un
wieldy end complicated ballots.
Although many arrests were made for
violation of the election laws, the greater
part of these were found to be due to cler
ical errors or misunderstandings. The pro
fessional repeater and the guerilla were
chiefly notable by their absence. Credit
for this satisfactory state of affairs was
given largely to the new signature law,
put Into practice for the first time In a
New York municipal election. Under this
law every voter after receiving his ballot.
Is compelled to write his name and have
it compared with the signature which he
made at the time of registration.
Tolls Well Watched.
If ever a New York election was well
watched It waa today's. Every polling
place had Its full quota of watchers. In
cluding nearly 2,000 college students from
Columbia, Yale and Princeton and other
nearby Institutions, who were distributed
throughout the greater city. The entire
police force of 10,100 men was on duty be
fore daylight, the majority of them at the
polling places, with squads of "plain
clothes" scours and detectives ready for
any emergency.
Robert A. Taft, the president's son, who
was among the earliest college men to
volunteer as a watcher, was stationed early
In the day at a Third avenue polling place.
His presence, however, proved auch an at
traction to the East Side crowd that the
police were called upon to disperse the
I spectators and young Taft was transferred
to work as a republican "scout." For the
remainder of the day he spent his time
hurrying by automobile from voting place
to voting place. Investigating reports of
trouole and witnessing the playing of the
political game In a hundred different cor
ners of the greater city. Ellhu Root, Jr.,
also studied the election system of the
city as a scout-watcher. Todays weather
waa all that could be desired.
Bannard Votes Early. '
Otto T. Bannard, the republican nominee
for the mayoralty, voted early. A long
line of his supporters kept up a continual
cheering during the minute or two which
it took him to receive his ballot, mark h
and place It In the hands of the officials
Both Hearst and Justice Gaynor were
more tardy about getting their ballots In.
Mr. Hearst voted In an uptown garage
shortly after noon and Justice Gaynor ap
peared at a little Brooklyn tailor shop,
where he cast his ballot, only an hour be
fore the time assigned for the polls to
close. Both were pretty thoroughly flash
lighted and snap-shotted while they were
preparing to vote.

TRIBUTE TO WAR SECRETARY
President Taft Lauds Dickinson at
Birthplace of Latter.
FIRST BARBECUE OF HIS TRIP
Feet ItI ties Held at Girls Industrial
School at CelitannuB. -Miss.
Name Jeff Davis aa a
Hero.
COLUMBUS, Miss.. Nov. 2. President
Taft received a Joyous welcome here today
when he came to visit the birthplace of
Secretary of War Dickinson and brought
the secretary with him.
Mr. Taft held a reception at the old home
of General Stephen D. Lee, of the confed
erate forces, as the guest of the son of
the house, Blewett H. Lee. Later he made
an address from a stand erected on Main
street and before leaving at 2 o'clock p. m.
for Bimlngham, attended his first barbecue
of the trip at the Girls' Industrial school.
The president took occasion here to pay
tribute to Secretary Dickinson. In fact,
ever since he has entered Mississippi, Mr.
Taft has lost no opportunity to give evi
dence of his high regard for the secretary
of war.
In the course of his midnight speech at
Jackson last night,; the president said of
Secretary Dickinson: t
"Now I have got 'Mac' Dickinson In the
cabinet. I wanted him because I wanted to
give an earnest example to the south of the
truth of my declaration that I was anxious
to bring you closer to the government at
Washington. I wanted that Panama canal
built and I knew If he took hold of It, it
would go.
"One of your great heroea of Mississippi
is Jefferson Davis, and I am glad the
administration at Washington has wiped
out th evidence of that extreme partisan
bitterness of Cabin John Bridge, and that
his name is restored there."
tiratefal to M isslnalpplans.
"I cannot pass from these walls without
testifying to th gratitude I feel toward
all of Mississippi for this most cordial
welcome. I am glad to believe that you
would cordially receive the president of
.he United States tinder any circumstances,
but I am glad to believe your reception la
in some degree warmer because you be
lieve I value that reception most highly
as an evidence that we are coming closer
and closer together and that we are one
country, with the same ideals, and same
aspirations and the same determination
to make us all better and to raise the
standard of our citizenship beyond any
thing that heretofore has been seen."
Enroute to Columbus today the presi
dent made brief car-end speeches at Kos
ciusko, Ackerman, Starkville and West-
point. At each place he was greeted by
an enthusiastic throng, the negroes being
drawn up on one side of the track and the
whiles on the other.
At Koaciuska, the president gave further
utterance to his desire to bring the people
of the south 'closer to the other states.
He said:
"It la not that we want to make you re
publicans or that we want to become dem
ocrats; we all have our 'views and our
tastes In that regard, but It is that we
shall bring you and that you shall come
to believe that you are as near to the
heart of the central government as now
administrated, as any other people In the
union."

which Is strongly republican, the amend
ment will be defeated by 800. The Poe

JACKSON, Ky., Nov. 2. Tllden Blanton
today killed Demosthenes Noble following
an election quarrel after Noble had crip
pled Hltinton'a right arm with a bullet.
Noble bad previously, according to Blan
ton, placed a pistol at the, breast of two
of Blanlon's brothers.
Noble was a former employe of Judge
James Hargls and complications are ex
pected. Blanton. whose father was democratic
candidate for county attorney, was acting I
as chalknger. and his story is that Noble
ww Induced to raise a disturbance by dis
comfited republicans.
The telephone wireB between Jackson and
Crrckeltsvlllo were cut this morning. Cap
tain Sams and his detail of militiamen are
supposed to be in that vicinity.
Reports from Crockettsvtlle and Sebas
tions Branch this morning were that two
attempts, one successful, has been made
to steal ballots near Crockettsvllle precinct
at the mouth of Long's creek. The home
of Mary Dealin, who held ballots for that
rreclnct, was destroyed by fire and the
ballots were burned with the house. At
Sebastian's Branch precinct the democrats
are reported to have seized the ballots this
morning and hidden them.
According to their political beliefs, Jack
son and .Breathitt county men stigmatize
the firing of the Dealin home as Incen
diary or accidental. The most reliable re
port from the place, which Is twenty-two
miles away. Is that Mrs. Dealin was feed
ing the Lexington soldiers under Captain
Sams when the fire occurred. The ballots
were reported destroyed and fresh ones
were furnished from Jackson.
These are the ballots which an armed
crowd of men threatened to take from a
Jackson bank last week and which were
finally given to Mary Dealin by Judge
Adams for safe keeping. Crockettsvllle,
the home of Ed Callahan, tha noted feud
ist, and gathering place of the war-like
Breathitt county clans, today Is the chief
point of Interest in the political war.
Of the theft of Sebastian branch ballots
no details ar now obtainable.
MUltla at Storm t enter.
"What will happen at Crockettsvllle," Is
the question on the lips of every one in
lackson tcday. In that remote portion of
Breathitt county twenty-six men of the
Lexington company of state militia have
bMn place,i by- c'lrcult Judge Adams
to
see that the voting Is not Interferred with.
Crockettsvllle Is the feudal seat of
former Sheriff Ed Callahan and of Harry
Turner, a feudist of equal reputation, while
Govan Smith, alleged head of the Smith
and Deaton factions, an enemy of Calla
han's, has promised to be on hand to see
that his rivals do not attempt to take the
precincts tor the democratic nominee for
circuit Judge, D. B. Redwlne.
The Callahans and their friends are
angry because Circuit Judge Adams, candi
date for re-election, today refused to give
the command of the troops to Sheriff
Crawford, a Redwlne partisan. ,

Almost complete returns from the elec

publKiins carried everything by majorities
ranging from 1.200 to 4.000.
On the state ticket the republican Judges
have carried pluralities for the high man
of 2.200 and for the low man of 1,200.
The high man on the republican ticket
Is Judge Barnes and the low man Judg
Sedgwick, while the high man on the demo
cratic ticket Is Judge 8ullivan.
The reason for Sullivan's gain at Sedg
wick's expense Is explained by the posi
tion of the two names on th voting ma
chine, the one being above the other, mak
ing It the natural thing for those throw
ing an extra vote to Sullivan to take It
away from Sedgwick.
The big fight on the county ticket came
on sheriff, where the socialists backing
Morrow undertook to beat down Brailey
as the republican up for re-election, Mjr
row being a street car striker backed by
the labor unions a well as the socialists.
Morrow made a phenomenal run, polling
over 4, MX) votes, as a close second to Bo
land. the democrat, who has about 4,900,
while Brailey, with 7.700, has a plurality
of 2 jqo, although not a majority over both.
Another contested position was that of
coroner, where th democrats undertook
to center on half of the present democratic,
coroner, but he was unsuccessful, for
Crosby, the republican, has a safe ma

ferent candidates running farily well to
gether. The total vote In Douglas county Is light
as compared with a year ago, and when
complet probably will foot up about 18.000
to 19,000. South Omaha In particular failed
to poll its vote, chiefly to the detriment of
the democrats, and the vote In the country
likewise is light.
The election weather could not hav
been better to bring out the vote, but th
voting was slow all during the day and
caught up only during the closing hours.
The returns cam in early and In good
condition, due to 1h use of the voting
machines, and the result was known on
all the offices by S o'clock In th evening.
There was little dlsturbanca at any of th
polls- exceptions being In one or two of
the down-town precincts, Where outsiders
tried to interfere with th election officers.
The following table shows the results In
Douglas county with two precincts missing
on Dean and Barnes and five missing on
the other Judges. Two precincts are miss
ing on the rest of the stat ticket.
