So Thinks Chairman A. d
Meeker, of the Republican
Central Committee
CUMMINGS PLURALITY LARGER
Chairman Meeker Thinks That the Re-
publican Candidate for Representa-.
tive Will Run Ahead Of Mr.. Daily by
a Much Larger Plurality Than Two
Years Ago.

Chairman A. D. Meeker, of the re-
publican county central committee, who
has naturally been In closer touch with
| the political situation OF the county
than any one else, thinks that the vote
in tomorrow's election will be about the
same as last year, and that the repub-
lican majority will equal that OF year
ago. He thinks Cummings vote for
representative will be larger than two
years ago, and that his plurality over
Daily, who was then his opposing cam
didate, will be greater.
Il look for a good vote in the coun-
ty, tomorrow said Mr.. Meeker, when
asked about the prospects. Our ma
jority was 1.4Sl last year, and 1t will be
about the same this year.
THE democrats intend to center their
attack on representative but think
that their defeat will be far greater
than two years ago because there is no
republican disaffection this year. Tbs
party stands solidly for its candi-
dates"
Mr.. Meeker has sent to each repub-
lican voter in the county personal
letter !mpressing upon him the fact
that 1t is his duty to get out and vote.
and that the only chance for the party
to suffer is by the stay-at- home, who
thinks that there will be sufficient
number OF votes without his Mr.,
Meeker's letter calls attention to the
fact that the only attack being made
against the party is because OF the
party, and is made in the hopes OF
weakening it and reducing its repre-.
sentation in state and district conven-
lions. Last year Marshall county gained
two delegates in the state convention
and this year 1t could gain more ii full
vote were cast
The polls will open tomorrow in the
city at Z o'clock. and close at Z in
the evening. In the country precincts
the polls open at and close at l.
Chairman Meeker has made arrange
ments for receiving the returns tomor-
row night in the east court room. Each
township committeeman has been in
structed to get the vote OF his precinct
The head of the ticket and the county
warded as soon as possible by tele-
phone.
The Democratic Claims.
The democrats claim, OF course, that
the election OF their entire ticket is
assured, but they are centering their
talk in the prediction Of Days cleo
tton. They claim to have the city solid
for Daily, and think that with light
vote in the country. which they say is
almost sure to result, DAILY will be
elected by large majority.
Prohibitionists Deny Rumor.
A rumof heard upon the streets this
morning to the effect that the omis-
sion of the names of w. d. Wilcox
candidate for senator, and Melzer NJ
Dickson. candidate for representative,
upon the prohibition ticket, was for
the purpose of trade with the demo-
Gratis. is said by prohtbitionists to be
untrue.
The omission Of the names is ex-
planned by the fact that Chairman D. I.
Smith and Secretary O. d. Elicit, Of
the county convention, failed to send
the names Of the state auditor early
enough to have them placed on the Of
fetal ballot. Mr.. Dickson this afternoon
denied the rumor.
At republican headquarters 1t is am
ticipated that dodgers and posters VIII
be sprung by the opposition at the last
moment, but nothing can be done but
trust to the intelligence OF the voter to
