majority for a Republican candidate
for Presidentin this county would
be q big majority under ordinary
circumstances. OF course, Mr..
Lind made a strong campaign, US
ing personal letters with great
effect, and appealing to voters on
the ground that he had but one
term and had done his best to adj
minister the affairs OF the State. A
strong fight on two county offices
also kept the Republican candidates
on the county ticket from giving as
much time to Capt VanSant as they
desired.
For member Of Congress Mr.. Nc
Cleary can certainly feel compli-
mented on his work and Mr.. Math-
ews must feel that his sympathy
with the Aguinaldo movement,
either real or artificial, aud We be-
lieve the latter, is not endorsed
over the district, for in every town
where the two men ran the returns
indicated that Mr.. Mathews did not
run up to his ticket. Postof1ice
troubles, ETC., may have kept down
Mr.. McCleary's vote in certain Sec
tions, but he made the better show
ing of the two from strictly parti-
san standpoint.
For representative, auditor, treas
urer, county attorney, surveyor,
coroner and superintendent of
schools there were no candidates
against the Republican candidates,
and this is also true of commission
err in the Third district. For sheriff
Mr.. Crooks is convinced that an in
dependent candidate has hard
fight. No one helps him. Mr..
Crooks would have made a better
run had he commenced his indie
pendent candidacy before the Re-
publican county convention, and
then refused to participate in the
Republican convention. He made a
great showing in Vesta, however,
as we'll as in this city, his own
town, and the three precincts are
something to which he has right
to point with pride. Mr.. Small, the
Republican and the successful can
didate, developed a wonderful
strength and for it he can thank a
couple of his colleagues on the Re-
publican county ticket. They
worked like Trojans for him and
with his own good work, resulted
in giving him a good majority.
Mr.. Evans, the Republican candi-
date for Judge of probate, and the
successful candidate, has always
been a good vote getter. This is
true of Mr.. Robinson, who has held
the Office for four years past, and
Mr.. Evans having the Republican
side OF it this Presidential year,
was naturally the winner. His
election was bet on by some Of his
colleagues on the ticket week be-
fore the election. MIR. Robinson
will retire from the Office with
marked credit to himself, and this
can be said of Sheriff Pease, who
will give way to Mr.. Small.
Mr.. Cobleigh had an easy time of
it for register, as did also Mr.. War
ner for clerk of court. In connec-
ton with the latter it is we'll to
point to the returns. MIR. Warner
and President Mckinley were the
only two candidates on the white
and blue tickets, having opposition,
that carried every precinct in Red
wood county, and Mr.. Warner has a
right to feel proud OF the magnifi-
cent vote given him.
The election OF ]. F. Cain as COM
missioner from the First district
over T. L. Gilbert, Democrat, was
accomplished after one of the hard
est commissioner fights waged in
this county. Mr.. Cain was a new
man in politics and had many friends,
and few. If any, enemies. Mr.. Gil
bert has been war-horse for Popu-
lism, and his Republican adversar-
les remembered tin soliciting votes
for Cain. The district is close or
anti-Republican and Mr.. Cain can
afford to feel elated over his selec-
f6nn.
