LATEST ELECTION NEWS
OHIO AND INDIANA CARRIED BY TAFT, BUT
ELECT DEMOCRATIC GOVERNORS.
Montana Goss to Republican Column Missouri
Still in Doubt, and Latest.Reports Favor
Taft Over Bryan in Maryland.
The election last Tuesday was
something of a surprise to every
body and the results in Indiana
and Ohio are particularly so. In
Ohio Taft carried the state by
about .r0,(X)0 plurality, while Har
mon, the democratic nominee for
Governor, carried the state by
about 20,000. In Indiana rIalt
carried the state by about 8,000,
while Marshall, the democratic
candidate for Governor, carried
the state by about 10,000 and it
is thought that the entire state
ticket is elected. In this state
the democrats elected seven new
Congressmen, giving them eleven
in Congress while the Republi
cans will have only two. It is
thought that the legislature will
be Democratic and as it will elect
a new senator lie will likewise be
Democratic in principle and al
ready the name of John W. Kern,
candidate for Vice-President on
the Democratic ticket, is being
mentioned.
In Ohio the legislature is still
in doubt, with the likelihood that
it will lie democratic, and if so
the new senator from that state
will come from their ranks.
In Nebraska the entire state
ticket will be democratic and
Pryan carried the state by about
ten thousand.
The democrats carried the en
tire state by about TiOOO and will
probably control the state legis
lature in West .Virginia, while
it is likely that a Republican
Governor has been elected, al
though it may take the official
count to decide.
Pryan carries Texas four to
one. He received more votes
than did Campbell, democratic
candidate for governor, though
they are not far apart.

QUIET. COUNTY ELECTION
VOTERS OF RANDALL COUNTY TAKE VERY
SMALL INTEREST IN VOTING.
Democrats Carry County by Large Majorities.
Two of Proposed Amendments are
Popular and Carried.
Last Tuesday was a very quiet
day in Canyon City so far as it
applied to elections except that
the interest of the people was
centered on National affairs. The
vote in all the boxes was very
light when it was thought that a
heavy vote would be polled. In
the entire county there were
only about 27.1 or 20 votes cast.
All the boxes had been heard
from yesterday afternoon ex
cept one and that a small one.
The people of the county
seemed interested in the school
amendment which was to be
voted upon and that carried the
county by a vote of 170 to 21. The
second amendment also carried
the county by a vote of 90 to ;17,
while the people did not seem to
want to pay the gubernatorial of
ficers a higher salary for they
voted against that amendment
by a vote of (W for the amend
ment and 9 against.
On the officers to be elected
the vote was divided on party
lines, the democrats having a
large majority of the votes cast
The republicans had started out
earlv in the campaign to poll as
large a vote as possible but as the
campaign grew older somewhat
of an apathy overcame all classes
of voters even the enterprising
republicans.
In the Presidential race the
Pry an electors received 229
votes, the Taft electors 4 1, Peo

THE STRUCTURAL STEEL HAS ARRIVED.
Active Work on tho New Court House Resumed
And Building Will be Rushed to an
Early Completion.
The hearts of the contractors
for the building of the court
house in this city have certainly
been made glad. The large ship
ment of steel which has been
delaying the work on the build
ing for the past three weeks has
arrived and the work has been
resumed.
With this shipment practically
all the material for the entire
building is upon the ground and
therefore there will be no further
delays on account of that. The
contractors and their men are
busy placing the steel over the
first floor and locating the caps
over the entrances and windows,
alter which the walls will be
pushed upward with as much
speed as a large force of men can
make.
The contractors desire to finish
the outside, work before the ac
tual cold weather of winter sets
in so that they may take the cold
weather to finish the inside. It
is expected that the entire out
side walls will be finished within
the next thirty days and that the
roof will be finished immediately
afterwards. If this is accomp
lished these people will be able
to finish the building well within
the time contracted notwith
standing the fact that they have
a very serious delay.
As it is the building begins to
look very much like a substan
tial ornament to the city and
when it is finished we feel sure
that every Panhandler will be able
to point to it with pride.
