Dktboit, Mich., April 4. —The returns from the municipal elections held in this state arc mostly in favor of the republicans.

Republicans elect the other officers. In Bay City demoj erats elect recorder and only two of twelve aldermen.

Grand Haven republioj ans get the city offices except marshal. ' At Muskegon the republicans made a ! clean sweep. In the smaller towns and I townships the returns thus far received also snow republican gains. Benton Hakbok, Mich., April 4. — | The largest vote ever polled was cast here Monday. The republicans have elected the entire city ticket with the | exception of one alderman and one j constable in doubt.
