and 1882 Majority--ealn of $50 in
Republican Vote Over Last Year
Some Interesting Deductions From
the Figures Returned.

The figures showing the vote in the
different precincts of the county We're
all filed with County Auditor Hargrave
Wednesday afternoon and the T.-R. has
compiled the same for presentation.
There were a total OF AGA votes cast
in the county, of which 3,06S were re-
publican; LAS democratic; 2sS pro-
hibitionist and 100 socialist. The res
publican ticket has majority of 1892
and Martins plurality is 1920. The
total republican vote last year was
ATS. showing a gain of 290.
comparison of the vote on COVER
, nor in 1901 will be of interest. The re-
publican vote was at that time 2,77S;
democratic, 1,235; prohibition, 337; So
cialist, thirty five, and peoples, ten.
This shows gain over the vote of 1901
of 200. The republican gain over 1901,
as stated. is ESQ, and the only other gain
is in that of the socialist party, which
is lis. A democratic loss of eightysev-
en- is shown, and prohibition loss Of
seventy nine.
The republican majority on the head
of the ticket this year is 1,492, and in
1901 was 1,121, showing a republican
gain in majority of 81.
Many interesting deductions can be
made from careful study Of the re-
turns as shown by the accompanying
table. The Second ward Of this city
is seen to be the strongest republican
precinct, with 345; the Third second.
with 314. The strongest republican
precinct outside of Marshalltown is the
Soldiers Home, or Linn, No. 2, which
gave 265 votes for the head OF the
ticket. State Center comes next, with
162.
The prohibition party's vote shows
that there are 29S believers in the
principles of the water cure residing
in the county. The Second ward has
the greater number, forty, and Bangor
is the strongest rural precinct. with
thirty six. Logan, No. l. and Jefferson,
No. 1, are the only two precincts in
prohibition vote.
The First ward cast the strongest
socialist vote, thirtyfour: the Third
second, with twenty-six. The Fourth
ward and the Soldiers Home each cast
twenty five votes for the socialist tick
ct and there is considerable surprise
manifested generally that so many
should be in the Home.
The reports from the different pre-
cincts do not change the figures of
