~ The people spoke on Saturday and
everybody listened attentirely to
hear what they said. AS soon as
the results began to come IN it was
certain that Hon. VIM P Hubbard
had a WALK over. Capt Doyeuer car
rfed but three precincts in the entire
county. one Of them by one majority
and another by two. Mr.. Hubbard'S-
majority for the county was over
eleven hundred. The result in Ma
rion was the same as that in all Of
the seven counties of the district the
farmers voted for Mr. Hubbard and
he was plainly the peoples choice
Popular sentiment in favor of Mr.
Hubbard can be seen by a study of
the votes in the various precincts
as given elsewhere
In the vote on the county ticket
many surprises developed Mason. OF
Warrington, was known to be a win
ner before the votes were cast, be-
cause he was said to be Mannington,s
choice and the people In the other
parts of the county said they would
vote for him-The large country vote
for Jacobs placed him wen in the lead
despite the local fight on him. Harr's
great race was perhaps the biggest
surprise as to the Legislature, while
!. than many anticipated It seems un-
fortunate that the railroad boys
were unable to decide upon one man
and stand by him as the soldiers did
by Mr.Har. Having two candidates
weakened both. The two together

The race for County Commissioner

First ward changed the leadership to
Robinson while everything seemed
black as midnight for Cordray who
sat stin and said nothing. But Man

result and put Cordray in the lead
by a hundred plurality. 1t was a bat
tie at the round up between the first
ward OF this city and the town OF
8lannington and Warrington won out.
The most interesting as wen as
the closest race on the list was that
between Reese and Brand for Asses
sor. It seemed to be the general i'm
preston that Reese would win. that
feeling coming about probably be-
cause he was first in the feld and had
been a recognized candidate for sew
eral months. But Duke Brand GER

Sand finally landed by small major

Mr.lIcIntre entered the race too
late to AFFECT Carter L. Fanst's chanc-

received a very large majority.
The battle Is over. the smoke has
cleared away and the victors can
Congratulate themselves. while the
sdefeated candidates can do nothing
more honorable than to submit cheer

asdeseated man any good to say too
much about his failure Another
