Progressive national committee- man front Illinois, early admitted that Sullivan would carry Cook county by 0.000. Thn returns Indlrnted that he hud rnrrled tho entire county ticket wiih him by pluralities ranging from 20.01)0 to HO. 000. Sullivan's managers cIuIiihhI tho county by 80,000 to 100,000. Mr. Sullivan will need every vote of hla maximum claim of 100,000 plurality In Cook county to win, If Sherman's plurality In tho Republican stronghold In the northern tier ot Illinois coun ties la maintained. The first 64 precincts outside of Cook county heard from give Sherman 1IH0 plurality. At this rate he would come Into Cook county with 100,000 plurality. Tho Progressive, RoblnB, Is badly beaten. I-Yum Indications voters of tho Eigh teenth district have returned Joseph O. Cnnnon to congress for hla 20th term. Returns show that tho ox speak er of tho house, and perhaps its most picturesque figure, had defeated Con gressman Frnnk T. O'llalr, who ousteft Mr. Cannon two yenrs ago by 3500 voles. "lincln Joe," tho familiar name by which ho wbb known because of his long service, served in congress con tinuously from March 4, 1873, to March 3. 1013, except from 1891 to 1893. He was defeated In 1890 for ro-olectlon to the 4 2d congress. Ho wns re-elected to tho 03rd nnd was speaker of the house during tha last five terms. Mr. Cannon Is 78 yenrs old. Runtihllcnna In tho new lower houao of congress will retain their old leader, .lames R. Mann. His campaign man nger fOdward It.

BRANDTL NEAR NEW ERA BABY'S HEAD IS BLOWN AWAY Little FIve-Year-Old Earnest Brandtl Pulls Trigger of Shotgun Which Had Been Left In Parlor of Their Home While playing with a loaded shotgun which had been left in the parlor of their home near New Era Saturday aft ernoon, five-year-old Earnest Brandtl pulled the trigger and Instantly killed his 15-monthsold brother, Edward. The baby's head was blown clear away, by the close range and terrific impact of the charge. The tragedy occurred about 1:30 Saturday, at the home of the par ents. Mr. and Mrs. John C. Brandtl, who nre ranchers living between Ore gon City and New Era near what is known as the "Keliand Hill."

No one wit nessed the tragedy, and the explosion wns the first intimation members of the family received of the shooting. The gun was a double-barreled shot gun, end had been left at the Brandtl home by a neighbor, and under the Im pression that the weapon was un loaded.
