Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1900-11-06
AN INCREASE OF NEARLY 500 VOTES
Robinson Elected by a Vote Slightly Less Than tie
Balance Of the Ticket.
Republicans Carry the City by
Timber Creek Liberty Lne-The
Returns to Midnight

Marshall county has exceeded all ex-s
pectations and has given Mckinley by
far the largest plurality ever received
by any candidate. III is in line with the
balance of the state with a plurality OF
between 1900 and 400, an increase over
four years ago Of about 500 votes The
despicable tactics of the opposition have
been repudiated, and in nearly every
precinct of the county republican gains
are shown. The city of Atarahal!town
alone gives the head of the ticket plu-
rality of $40. against 623 in 1896.
The effort to defect ar Robinson for
supervisor failed, and his reelection is
assured by a plurality somewhat less
than the balance of the ticket, but still
with a vote. OF which he can be proud,
considering the fact that he was knitted
by republicans in a few localities.
Even Timber Creek and Liberty
townships have repudiated Bry-
anism and are in the
prosperity and patriotic column this
year. These townships have heretofore
been democratic strongholds. The re-
turns from the county at midnight IN
dicated that every precinct in the
county had been carried by the repub-
licans, fifteen of the twenty-six pre-
cincts having reported at that hour.
If the balance of the district shows
the gains that Marshall county does.
Cousins for congress will have plu-
rality of 10000 over Kerr.
