Votes; Only One Democrat in Lancaster. From a Staff Correspondent. Lincoln, Neb.rNov. 14. (Special) Incomplete returns, but figures which will not be materially changed, indicate that Judge W. B. Rose has defeated Court Commis sioner Grant Martin by approxi mately 635 votes, the . vote standing Martin, 82,849; Kose, 8J.484. Uther successful candidates for the su preme bench are former Governor Aldrich and present Judge Latton. The soldier vote, it is not believed, will make any difference in the result.

Decrease in Cattle. "In the last 15 years," Dean Hos kins declared, "the population of the country has increased 20 per cent, whereas in the same time there has been an actual decrease of 2 per cent in the number of beef cat tie, which explains the high cost of btef, shoes and leather. "The loss sustained by the United States from infectious and contagious diseases among animals in the last year has amounted to $250,000,000." federal, state and municipal gov ernments, he asserted, will have to employ a larger veterinary service to reduce the tremendous prevent able losses of livestock and to fos ter the increase of animals on the farms. , Dutch Socialists May Organize and Proceed to Take Drastic Action Amsterdam.

Amsterdam, Nov. 14. comments by German bourgeois newspapers received here disclose apprehension of the socialist government's deci sion to postpone indefinitely the summoning of a constituent as sembly. The Tageblatt admits that the majority party is probably wise in excluding the non-socialists from the government, but says the post ponement of a national assembly leaves open the question whether Germany is to tread the road to democracy or of dictatorship. The Hamburg rremdenblatt s Berlin correspondent says that whether the majority or the minor- it, is to rule in Germany depends on the energy ot a tew men, and that while the majority socialists feel that only a dictatorship is pos sible for ruling during the transition period, they honestly desire, that it shall remain in power only until the national assembly "in a truly demo cratic manner decides the future of the German people.
