that Scott county republicans Will put
in a claim early for the "Tippecanoe
banner offered by the Iowa ilppe-
canoe Club for the county making the
best percentage of plurality for the
state ticket Scott county
gave only a small plurality last year
but all reports are that the county

counties that are somewhat nckle IN
their Affiliations. A county that gives
a good steady majority for the ticket
