In the three cornered county cam
paign which closed yesterday the re-
publican candidates have been mostly
elected. The republicans put up their
ticket early, named on 1t active, shrewd
and experienced men who worked hard
omitting nothing that could induce men
to vote for 1t. The opposition to repub-
licaus was cutin two by the nominations
of two other party tickets-with good
men on them. While the result was
close in several instances the manifest
advantage the republicans had was ap-
perant from the beginning and shrewdly
maintained to the end. It is yet too
early to understand fully the influences
that prevailed with many. The split up
and unaccountable way of voting puzzled
the oldest campaigner.
It was a split up vote everywhere.
The most unaccountabla jumps were
made from one column to another. Many
voters seemed to start in with deter
minatlOn to 60 straight down the
column bat after marking names awhile
appeared to get tired of th-t column and
suddenly went over to another without
any apparent reason. The candidates at
the bottom of the ticket had to take
great chances with many voters re-
membering them. The tendency to
break away from moorlngs on many
candidates of party was plainly seen.
Seventeen precincts out of twenty
eight have been heard from which gives
Nierling and Gleason, the republican
candidates for the Legislature, a plu-
rality of 230 and 80 respectively, over
the other five candidates. Halstead
