RETURNS COMING IN
QUITE SLOWLY
A great deal of interest Is being
manifested In town over the local
election and returns are anxiously
Bought, though it is hardly possible
bo far that the returns to be received
will materially change the result, as
already Indicated by the returns now
In.
Returns for the First division are
very slow getting in and as yet, save
the eight precincts published today,
there Is nothing officially known of
the result but from unofficial sources
it would seem fhat the non-partisan
ticket Is safely elected.
The heavy majorities in previous
unofllcial reports from Sitka and
Skagway the two heaviest precincts
in the North have not been denied
and it is believed thut conservative
estimate will give the non-partisans
a plurality throughout the district of
about 150 votes.
A flash bulletin from Ketchikan
brings the intelligence that the Pro
gressive ticket is running third. The
Socialists have 117 and the non-par
tisans, 116; all straight tickets.
This will be further confirmation
that the Progressive ticket is prob
ably defeated.

nine precincts in this recording dis
