Two Cand dates.

Next TUESDAY is election day, and
county committeeman are in position
to review the situation as it exists The
final preparations for the voting and
also for receiving the returns on Tues
day night have been made
County Chairman Devine, of the re-
publican committee, wishes to urge the
various township and precinct commit
teemen to do their duty on election day
and get out the vote. He suggests that
teams be employed and that the COM
Initteeemen see to Ii personally that the
older voters are provided with convey
ances to the various polling places. He
has secured the east court room for re-
publican headquarters on election night,
and there the returns will be received.
In the city the registration boards are
in session again today and those vot
ers who are not registered Will have
last opportunity to place their names on
the lists. The boards will be in session
until p. nj. The polls will be open
on Tuesday from a. m. until p. m.
In looking over the situation fr pm all
parts of the county l find that the re-
publicans are going to support the tick
ct and vote it straight said Chairman
Devine today. THE disaffection thought
of before the county convention has
been dissipated and the republicans are
now disposed to support the entire tick
ct There will be an especially strong
support OF the republican candidate for
representative Mr.. Cummings, who.
heads the ticket. OF course there are a
few prohibition republicans who will
vote their principles when it comes 10
some of the candidates. and there are
few personal matters that have entered
into the campaign that may lose fnd-
vidual candidates a few votes. but
straight republican ballots Will be the
rule.
II think the republican plurality In
Marshall county will be between 1,4O0
and 1,500 and that the vote viii be
larger than the average off year vote.
because OF the enthusiastic feeling
turnout the county for Cummins fol

HENRY IS OPTIMISTIC.
County Chairman Henry, of the dem
ocratic party, is inclined to be optimis-
tic. Everything Is all right from our
point Of view" he said today. Il be-
lieve we stand very good show to
elect both DAILY and Shipton. Mr.. Ship
ton, being an old soldier, will receive a
very large Vote at the Soldiers Home. |
There will be about an average of |
year vote in this county. because of
the efforts being made by some of the
local candidates. There are a great |
many republicans who belie.e the dem
ocrats should have representation on
the board of supervisors"
AVERAGE VOTE EXPECTED.
During the past few days there hos
been an awakening of interest in the
election, and the claims OF the two /
chairman that there will be an
average vote are probably correct. On
what Chairman Henry bases his claims
Of strength for his candidate for repre-
sentative is not apparent, however, and
It is certain that Mr.. Cummings as
Chairman Devine says. will run even If
not ahead of the balance of the repub-
lean ticket.
