THE BEE: OMAHA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1916. Nebraska LOOKS LIKE G O. P. TURNOVER IN VOTE Favorable Report! Continue to Come to Republican Head quarters at Lincoln. BEACH BACK AT HIS DESK - (From a Staff Correspondent.) . Kincoln, Sept 13. (Special.) "If the defeat of both candidates for the United States sehate on the demo cratic ticket in Maine, the defeat of all four candidates on the same ticket for congress, the defeat of the demo cratic candidate for governor and the election of a reoublican legislature is an endorsement of the administration of President Wilson in that state, what kind of an endorsement of the president will the election of Hughes and a republican congress be?" This question was propounded at republi can headquarters today. . , The Rival Claims. Following out the claims of demo crats that the republicans missed out on their expectations as regards ma jorities in Maine, a copy of the Port land (Me.) Evening Journal of Sat urday before the election, receivea by Deputy Land Commissioner Em ery, shows that Chairman Hain of the republican state committee gave out a statement that the republican can didate for governor would receive a plurality of 15,000 on a total republi can vote of 76,000, while Chairman Pattengill of , the democratic state committee claimed a plurality of 3,000 on a democratic vote of 71,000. What Returns Were. The complete returns show that the republican candidate for governor re ceived 79,902 votes, wlile the demo cratic candidate received 66,547, the republicans running about 4,000 more than the estimate of the' republican chairman, while 4he democrats fell about 4,500 less than the claims of the democratic chairman, so there does not appear to be much comfort for the democrats according to their own figures. - - . Democrats for Hughes. Charles Kibler of Kearney was a visitor at republican state headquar ters today, having come to bring his daughters, who will begin a course at the University of Nebraska. Mr. Kibler is chairman of the Buffalo county committee and says that things politically are looking exceed ingly bright for th republicans. When asked if he 'knew of any republicans who were going to vote for President Wilson, he answered that he knew of none, but did know of democrats who were going to vote for Hughes, t ReDorts Gratifvina-. County Attorney William Wen slrom of Saunders county, another visitor at state headquarters, brought information that political conditions were decidedly favorable to the re publicans" in ftis county. "There are plenty, of Bryan democrats 'in my county who will vote for Sutton, the republican candidate, for governor," Mr. Wcnstrom told Chairman Beach. Chairman Reach came in last night from Hastings, Grand Island and Au rora, where he held meeting with leading republicans, committeemen and others interested in the cam paign. He found conditions especial ly .pleasing wherever he went and feels that with the good start made and the sentiment rapidlycrystallzing in" favor of Mr, Hughes, there is Iitte doubt but the electoral vote of -Ne-'braska this year will be found on. the right side of the political ledger.'
