EDGERTON's BIG REPUBLICAN VOTE.
Mckinley Carries the city Nearly 3 to l

Maltpress Elected Sheriff by More Than
| 4,5OO Votes.
The Republicans of Edgerton made a
splendid record Tuesday. The city not
only cast the largest vote in its history
| at general election, but also increased
| it's republican vote nearly one hundred
over that of four years ago when the
plurality at that time had never before
been equalled. The German vote of
this city, which is an important factor in
the result, was cast almost solidly for the
republican candidates. A miserable
damp snow fell all through election day
making it somewhat disagreeaEle
to reach the polls thus cutting the
vote short in the country districts. The
vote in the city, however was we'll got
ten out, there were probably not over 25
qualified voters that failed to record
their choice at the polls and several of
these were out of town.
But one or two incidents occurred to
relieve the monotony of the voting at
the polling place at the city hall. The
first was when wagon load of employees
OF the Heddles Lumber Co. drove up
bearing rough inscription on piece
of board, "All for Mckinley and Malt
press" Just before the polls closed the
teachers in the public schools came in a
body and through Mr.. Perry of the
school board demanded the privilege of
voting for the Superindent of schools on
the ticket. The election board decided
however that they were permitted to re-
ceive only official ballots and as neither
ballot boxes or tickets had been espec-
tally prepared for superintendent of
schools they could not permit the lady
teachers to vote.
The figures which we print below
shows an increase of the republican
vote over four years ago of nearly 100
votes. There were 351 straight republi-
can tickets cast without a blemish
against 81 democratic. The Bryan vote
of four years ago shows loss of six. OF
the l5 prohibition votes cast, four were
scratched and singular as it may seem
twoof them were for Clark for sheriff
whom it is said left money in one or two
Edgerton saloons to further his cause,
and furthermore Mr.. Clarke is himself a
saloon keeper, having conducted saloon
in Beloit for the past few years. Thess
facts are pointed out to show the con
sistency of some of the prohibition voters.
The following is the complete result:

in the country towns Rock county rolls

several hundred ahead of his ticket in
his home town Beloit and yet Maltpress'
