WILL VOTE II STRAIGHT
Reports From Every Voting Precinct
Make Very Favorable Showing
For Republicans.
Opinion Never So Unanimous That
Voters Will Vote a Straight
Ticket.
Feeling is Good and General Salts
faction Prevails unprecedented
Majority Assured.

Never in the history of Marshall
county politics has the republi-
can sentiment seemed so over
whelming as this year. Such is
the verdict mad apparent after
a careful canvass of the county. In re-
Spouse to request sent out by the edi-
tor of this paper representative voters
from almost every voting precinct in
the county have reported the situation
as they found it in their own locality,
and the unanimity of the reports is
something remarkable. Many are con-
1 tent with the simple statement that
Our township is ali right. have
talked with good many of the voters
and so far as 1 can judge we are going
to vote the republican ticket straight
There is not room in this issue to pub
llish all the replies received, but the fol-
lowing from Mr.. McLeland, Of Taylor
| township. is about as near an average
report as any. 1t is as follows:
Editor Times Republican. Mar
shalltown, Ia.-DeLr Sir: Yours OF
| the 26th received. In regard to the
| political sentiment of this locality 1
| will say that in no instance do
| know of single republican who in
| tends to vote anything but a
| straight republican ticket.
There seems to be the idea in the
minds of some that the election of
| MIR. Shoemaker is an uncertainty,
but will say that know of no re-
publican in this locality who in
! tends to vote for Mr.. Mcpherson. /
think Taylor township will poll her
strong republican vote, as usual.
Yours respectfully,
w. f. MLELAND.
BY far the most of the reports do mo-
recognize the existence of any confess
/ at all. in fact it seems to be the genera
| feeling that the entire republican ticke
| will be elected as Il matter of course
/ and that the only question is as to tn
size of the majority. 1t is safe to say
1 that the entire county Is SOLID for tns
entire republican ticket
| In The city the situation is not a:
| strongly assuring as in the country. bu
1 from the various reports received there
| is little to cause any doubts as to
strong majority for the straight repuo
| lean ticket Rumors have been circu
lated concerning secret help that IS be

1 publicans of influence. but as these mel
can not afford to throw away their Pc
4 litical chances for the future. little at
1 tention has been paid TO such stories
i Nothing has as yet developed TO cas-
suspicion on any one.
The wards OF the city viii every on

II ANY man found in its ranks deserve
the calamity of democratic times, pu
for fear the rest of US will have to SUI
