GOOD REPUBLICAN OUTLOOK
Everything Indicates Good Majority in
Pottawattamie County.
DEMOCRATS PRACTICALLY COINCIDE IT
Little Hope of Any One Securing an
OHice Unless His Name IL ON
the Ticket of the Grand
Old Party.

This is undoubtedly a republican year
and Pottawattamie county tomorrow will
give the entire republican state ticket a
sweeping majority. The three candidates
on the republican legislative ticket will be
elected and every indication is that the
republican county ticket will be elected by
safe majority. The vote in Council Bluffs
is always somewhat of conundrum, but it
certainly looks as If the city will go re-
publican this year with safe majority"
This was Republican County Chairman
Evereet's view of the election today when
asked yesterday as to the prospects
A. s. Hazeton, candidate for state sen
ator, expressed much the same opinion He
said: II have been over the whole county
and | never saw 1t looking better and in
my opinion everything bodies well for the
ticket. AS to the city, | never like to
express an opinion, as the vote Is very
close and it is never known until the bal
lots are counted which way it has gone
believe, however, that the legislative and
county tickets will be elected from top to
bottom"
This view OF the situation is shared by all
of the leading republicans of the city and
the democrats concede that their chance
of electing any of their candidates is very
bliu. Nliidn BTOOKS heeu, democratic
candidate for county treasurer, has been
making a vigorous campaign and has hopes
himself of being elected. 1t is, however,
generally conceded that William Arnd the
republican candidate and present incum-
bent of the office. will be elected by large
majority. Captain L, b. Cousins, repub-
lican candidate for sheriff, in addition to
being an old soldier, has a fine record as
a peace officer and it is generally believed
that his election is a foregone conclusion.
John T. Hazen, the democratic candidate
has been putting up a hard campaign, but
it is not thought that he can defeat Cousins
Captain Cousins will undoubtedly have the
solid vote OF the old soldiers and the youne
ones, too, for that matter.
The democrats place considerable faith
in re-electing Prof. Sawyer county super
intendent and point to his majority two
years ago, but the indications this year
are that he cannot be elected Prof. O. ].
McManus OF Nicola will undoubtedly have
the vote of the county and a safe enough
majority to offset any deficiency that might
arise in the city.
DR.. V. L. Treynor. candidate for coroner,
like the rest of his ticket will, it is be-
lieved, be elected without a shadow Of a
doubt. The same can be said Of Henry c.
Brandes, republican candidate for member
Of board of supervision. AS leading re-
publican said yesterday: THE county is
with us good and strong this ,rar and that
being the case, the entire ticket is sure of
election"
