The most enthusiastic ana splriteu
campaign since that of the presidential
year of .96. when Mckinley defeated
prvan. and by far the most holly con-
tested city election in the history OF
Marshalltown, came to close MONDAY
evening at Z o'clock. The day was a
most strenuous one for the, workers Oh
every candidate, and for almost an
hour the crowds on the streets, winch
had collected in the places where re-
turns were to be received, waited IN
breathless expectancy for the prell1n-
mary results on the mayoralty. ~
was less than an hour after the pons
were closed that the tirst returns
were secured, and shortly aiter
o'clock 1t was known to certalhty
+bat Tnpledue was the new mayor OF
Marshalltown. -.
No sooner had Mr.. Ingledue's cleo
+,on become known than his fr1enos,
who had conceded his victory, ana
arranged for the band, appeared on
the street in marching order heauea
by Mr.. Ingledue, in a carriage uriven
by Mr.. A. p. Strub, the parade coun-
termarched on Main street 70 .ne
time of "There'n be a Hot Time IN the
Old Town Tonight" A large banner
PAINTED in red, followed the carriage
On one side appeared the words Mar
shalltown's Prosperity CanMaate
Wins; on the other, "The CLAD Haho
and Hot Air Did Not VIM" Reo hre
here and there, and huge ponhre a.
the corner OF Center, gave all the ap-
pearances Of national campaign Gel
ebration. After counternarch1ng IoI
a. time Mr.. Ingledue made snort
address at the cornor Of First avenue
and Main.
MONDAYS vote was very heavy,
total of 2.763 ballots having been cast
for mayor. When the enthusiasm OF
two wears ago is considered, and 1t is
remembered that at that time only y
O64 votes were cast, some idea OF the
work done to get out the vote can
he imagined. Aside from being oss
votes heavier than the total vote cast
for mayor in 1903, when L. b. Jones
defeated M. M. Dickson, Mondays
vote was $50 larger than the tolai
vote cast in the city for Roosevelt
at the general election last November.
The Different Contests.
Az predicted in these columns Mon
dav afternoon the fight for the may
oralty was close. The results in the
different wards were also as fore
casted, Ingledue carrying the
First. Fourth and Fifth, Egermayer the
second. and Daily the Third. Mr.. DAYS
.trone. support bears out the T.-R.'s
statement when Mr.. Days candidacy
vas first announced, to the effect that
he was dangerous candidate 10 any
opponent, owing to his record as a Vote
getter, in running ahead OF MS TICKET
in other contests. Mr.. Eger1nayer
made an excellent run, and mad the
hearty support of many loyal 1rlehaS
who have stood by him from the nrst.
In the race for the city solicitorshlp
the fight was equally as close IN pro-
norton to the amount of interest
shown as that of the nayoralty Bur
r,tt,s plurality is but 81 over Clyde =.
caswell. who surprised even many OF
his most enthusiastic friends and ear
nest supporters. j. L. Carney was pul
26 votes behind Mr.. Caswell. George
M Lyon was hardly in the running
having received only 12O votes. Inc
IRIS forecast of last Saturday, IN
stating that the fight was between
Burritt, Caswell and Carney, was prov
ed correct by the votes.
The city assessorship proved an easy
victory for w. B. Elliott, who received
a plurality of $50 ove1: j. G. Trotter.
McMahon's vote was 1913. With no
contests on for treasurer, Harry Ger
hart. of the First National bank, nolleo
157 votes, and for park commissioner,
with no contest, F. NJ. Rubee received
1900. o,., a.
In the ward contests A. M. Clark de-
feated l.. S. Peckham by strong ma
iority of 1879. In all the wards, with
the exception of the Fifth. there was
noticeable lack of support of candl-
dates for the council, the fight for the
n,ayoralty overshadowing the interest
in the other offices. There We're
eighty-nine who voted for mayor In
the First ward, who did not vote for
councilman In the Second ward j..
A. Sieg's majority over H. E. Simkins
was 121, and in this ward there were
sixty-two who failed to vote for coun-
Gilman, and eighty who did not vote
for city solicitor. In the Third ward,
with a three corneref fight on, 1se-
mans majority Of 148 is considered
quite remarkable. d. S. Good was
second high man. leading William Jen-
nings by 3s. The closest race for
councilman was in the Fourth ward,
where Robert McMains won over
George Herman by II plurality.
Bartley's vote was only 65. Council
man Psenicka's victory in the Fifth
was not at all unexpected and he was
