REPUBLICAN SUCCESS SURE Obairman Wright Prediots Mejorities Renging from 800 'te 1,200, DEMOCRATS PRETEND TO BE CONFIDENT Careful Survey of the Field, However, Faila Show Anything onm Which to Base Their 3 Predictions. to The entire republican ticket in the county Will be electea by majoriues rangung from 80 to 1200 or oyer. The weaiher insures an incréased republican vote in the coun~ iry. Advices from nes precincis by telephone state that a large republican vote whi be polled. The city is thoroughly orgamzed and arrangements have been made (o get out the Slay-at home vote, 80me of ihe. republican candi- dates will run ahead of the state ticket. Cummins should_have 1,200 majority in the county. GEORGE 8. \WRIGHT, Chalrman of Nerubllc.n Central Com. 1 think the majorities of Reed, O’'Neil and the members o1 the Board of 'Supervisors will be at least 200 and all others on the county ticket will have safe majorities. | F. W. MILLER, Chairman Democratic County Central Com, The above statements were given out last nignt by the chairmen of the republican and democratic county central committee, While there hds beer’a flerce fight wag- ered by the democrats on the republican nominees for treasurer and sheriff, every- thing yesterday indicated a sweeping vie- tory .for the entire republican ticket. Re- ports from all over the county indicate that Brooks Reed, the democratic candidate for treasurer, will be beaten by aut least 50 votés and If the full vote is gotten out by considerably more. “Jimmig" O'Nell, the aged candidate on the democratic ticket for sheriff, it is generally conceded, will fall At least 1,000 votes behind Edward Canning, the republican nomiaee. Commits Political Sulecide, The attempt of Brooks Reed, the demo- cratic candidate for county treasurer, to inject the Eagles and Eiks lodges into the political arena in his support, his friends all say, must prove his undeing. In no pre- vious campuign In this city has any mem- ber of any fraternal organization adopted the course that Reed has and a prominent member of the democratic party yesterday, expressed the opinion that as far as he could figure it out from the sentiment es pressed by the members of these two o ganizations “Reed has cut his own throat. Bdward Canning, the republican nominee for sheriff, his friends estimated last night, will be elected by at least 1,000 majority over “Jimmie” O'Nell, the aged nominee of the democratic party. Reports from alll precincts In the county indicate that these figures may be even Intreased, as the deni- ocrats throughout the county generally are of the opinion that O'Neil has passed that age when he should seek public office, much tached to it as that of sheriff, L. G. Consighey, the republican candi- date for county treasurer, has not been a officesecker Ifke /his opponent, Brooks R nd this is the first time that Be has asl the suffrage of the voters of this county, On the other hand, Brooks Pottawattamie county entitle him to elec- tion. The republican nominees for the County Board of Supervisors are: Allen J. Bullls, who seeks re-election, and George W, Spen- cer. The former in his short eareer on the board has shown himself an able and conservative administrator of the county's affairs, while Mr. Bpencer, who Is one of the foremost citizens of Neola township, has long been recognized ‘s one of the leading business men of hia part of the county. The polls will be open this morning at 7 o'clock and will remain -open. untii % In the evening. Chairman Wright of the republican central committes 18 anxious that every republican who can shall cast his vote as early as possible. In this con- nection he suggests that all voters who work in Omaha or at any. distance from thelr place of residence cast their ballot before going to work. Voflng Places in City.

CONDUIT MATTER - UP. AGAIN Council Committee Makes Kenort, t No Matter is Taken Thereon. Outsidé of the ordinary routine business before the city council at its monthly ses- on last night was the question of requir- Ing the electric, light, telegraph and motor | companies to place their wires underground in the business section of the city. This matter when before the counell before had been referred to a committee, of which Alderman Lovétt was chalrman, and the Alderman Lovett stated that the electric light company proposed fo place its wires in the central part of the-city underground next year, but that it was not practicable for the street rallway company to do ‘s0. The Western nion Telegraph company, Mr. Lovett said, had advised him that in- tead of placing Ns wires underground it proposed in the near future to replace its sixty or more wires with not more than three cables in the business section of the city. This, Mr. Lovett suggested, would ob- viate the necessity of the company placing its wires In underground condults at least for several years to come. The Postal com- pany, he sald, had recently installed prac- tleally & new system of wires in this city and was not prepared at this time to make any extensive alterations. matter was disqussed.at length Reed has fof many years In the past fe from the public pap and it is doubtful it | an election hiis passed since he was retired from office that he has not made an effort to break in dgain. He has been dpfedted time and timg again, but he bobs up, again. | The last democratic convention inveighed against the fhird-termer, but falling an- other candidate for the office nominated Brooks Reedy the veteran officeholder and seeker, The. same is true of “Jimmie" O'Nell, the damocratic candidate for sheriff, and those who profess to be on the Inside say that O'Nell's nomination was due to the fact that it was known he would be (willing to provide the sinews of the cam- paign for the democratic county central committee in return for the nomination. O'Nell is the'only candidate on the demo- cratie ticket who has money to’ spend ah: MeManus Has Experience, County Superintendent McManus, who is ®eeking a re-election on the republican ticket, has during the tenure of his office proven himsélf one of the foremost edu- eators of thelstate and his abllity as such has been fzed In his appointmen & member of’the State Examining board. Against Superintendent McManus the dem- * ocrats have as thelr candidate W. L. Ran- kin, a young man who I35 beginning his career as an éducator as a #chools of the town of Carson. Dr. V. L. Treynor, the republican nomi- nee for coroner, is a candidate for an office which sought him and which he did not seek. Dr. Tréynor is not a candidate in the accepted meaning of the word. At no time has he sought the office; the office 80 far as the republicAn party of thix county Is concerned, has sought him. Dur- ing Dr. Treynor's tenure of the office the county has been saved hundreds of dollars and the records of the office of the county | auditor will prove to any one Interested that the expenses of the coroner during Dr. Treynor's incumbency have been sev- eral hundred dollars less each year than ever before in the history of Pottawattamie county. It is, generally conceded that Thomas Tostevin, the -republican. candidate for county surveyor, is the most competent man for the lace. His experience as a clvil engineer, pspecially in Pottawattamle county, fits him for the position probably more than any other man who could be named. Mr, Tostevi: past services to acher in the | ™ subject ‘was brought up for discussion on his report. ‘While tr‘ ncll took no” action: in ‘the T bm:.“ cdepting the report of mknm. tee, and It is understood that the matter will be allowed to rest, gt least for. some time to.come., g8 Arfother matter whiell invoked consider- able discussion was the need of street cros- sings in many parts of the city. Alderman Huber stcod out for brick crossings, but after the mafter had been thoroughly dis- cussed it was decided to authorize the com- mittee on streets and alleys to construct 100 plank crossings in the Fourth, Fifth and Sixth wards, as being the portions of the city most In need of them. The liberality of the city counell in au- thorizing the constridction of the crossings prompted Alderman Casper, chalrman of the committee on bridges, to suggest that if he had the authority he would lke to put in a number of culverts in those parts' of the clty which needed draining. The matter was referred to the city solicitor and 4t he glves it as his opinion that the committeo of which Casper is chairman ean go ahegd and construct the culverts without spectal authority as tb each separate culvert, as many culverts as the committee deems necessary are to be put in.

ENTERTAIN STICKNEY PARTY esident Great Northern Visitors Meet Com- mercial Club, Western and President Stickney and his party of Min- nesota capitalists, on their arrival in this city yesterday morning were entertained at breakfast at the Grand hotel by' the directors of the Commercial club and a number of leading professional and busi- ness men of the city. After the menu Had been disposed of President Bender of the Commercial club, in a few well chosen ‘words; bid the visitors welcome to Counell Bluffs and introduced Emmet Tinley, Stato Senator C. G. Baunders and Congressman Smith. Mr. Tinley referred to the necessity for a change in the method of assessment of raflroads and urged that rallroad com- panies should join In urging the passage of a law by the next legislaturs taxing rallway terminals, at least at the places where they are located. Colonel SBaunders spoke of the advantages of Council Bluffs as a shipping center. + Congressman Smith recalled the incident that Abraham Lincoln, long before his nomination for president, came here to lo- cate & claim under & Black Hawk Indlan war warrant, that he stood on the bluffs overlooking this city and subsequently, when he as president had to locate the eastorn terminus of the Unlon Pacific placed It In Council Bluffs, President Stickney made a short address, in which he said that Council Bluffs and Omaha were practically one shipping cen- ter and that there should be no reason why they should not become one of the great grain markets of the United. States. Owing to the heavy downpour of rain the drive about the city had to be aban- doned and instead the visitors were ten- dered an informal reception at the Biks' clubhouse. At 11:30 o'clock the visitors, accompanied by the members of the executive commit- tee of the Commercial club, boarded a spe- clal motor and after a trip to Sixteenth avenue and around the loop on Plerce street crossed the river to Omaha.

LOCAL CONTESTS IN MANY SECTIONS Figures for Comparison on the Lesis. Conients Are Seem In Many Parts of the State Thi Year, (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, Nov. 2.—(8pecial)--While there is more or less of academlic discus- slon of the size of the republican majority for the head of the ticket on Tuesday and the guessing is greatly varied in characte the closest figuring is done on the legisla- tive tickets. Everyone recognizes that the result at this time may have an important bearing on the senatorial contests of the future, and in fact this is one source of some of the factional feeling that has broken out in the state the last fow weeks, The democrats hope to gain a number of seats In the legislature, and their hopes have been somewhat encouraged by the covert attacks of republicans, embittered by factional ill will. It 1s o secret that in many parts of the state there are re- publicans who have heretofore slood high in the councils of the party wholare now giving no rear support to the ticket. In one way or another they have given encourage- ment to the democrats. That this may have the effect of reducing the majority for the republican state ticket will be ac- knowledged by all. But it will also have some effect on the legislative districts. The democrats have teri seats in the senate now and seventeen in the house. They will keep three in the senate by the holdovers and in the house they have a sure thing of perhaps a half dozen, The fighting ground is confined to about a dozen senatorial dis- tricts and twice as many house districts, It is in this list that the interest now cen- ters. Below will be found a statement of the doubtful column, or where there have been contests of a nature to arouse unusual interest, with the vote in these districts cast for Cummins and Phillips two years ago. But inasmuch as the vote of two years ago was an abnormal one for Gov- ernor Cummins on account of his great personal popularity and the fallure of his opponent to put up any campalgn, these figures make a much better showing for the republicans than any other figyres that might be selected. But the comparison will be made with the vote on governor two years ago and the interesting districts are as follows: Senatorial Districts. Appanoose-Davis—James H.
