BRIGHT FOR REPUBLICANS
Freeman L, Reed Says the Democrats VIII
Net Rave a Lsok IN,
HAS lust COMPLETED POLL OF TIE CITY
noes Not Overlook Faet Democrats
Are MakihE ants Fight but
says Il VIII not DO Theh
Any Good.

The poll OF the city, taken under the
supervision Of Freeman Reed, chairman OF
the republican city central committees.
which has just been completed, shows the
republicans In better condition. possibly,
than ever before THE city precincts
said Mr. Reed yesterday, will undoubtedly
give the candidates on the county ticket
good sized majorities."
Mr.. Reed probably Is better qualified
than anybody else among the parts WORK.
ers to know the situation, not only in the,
city. but throughout the county. as before
removing to Council Bluffs number OF
years ago he was one 81 the most active
workers in the party IN the east END OF
the county. He IL known By and probably
is acquainted with almost every voter IN
the county. In addition to his duties AZ
city chairman. Mr. Reed has been over
the. entire county during this campaign,
ana he Is thoroughly posted on conditions,
politically.
Mr. Reed IL fully aware OF the work done
by the democratic candidates and is not
inclined 70 underestimate H. Asked yes
terday ss TO the prospects, for republl-
can Victory IN the county. MI. Reed said
Everything looks extremely bright for the
election OF the entire county ticket, lnolud-
ing the two candidates for representative.
The hardest fight by the democrats, APP
parently. has been made on county treas
urer, attorney and sheriff. After looking
the ground over thoroughly I see no rea-
son why James Mitchell should not be
elected treasurer by at least 500 Il would
not surprise me II Mr. Mitcheil's ma ority
over his opponent on the democratic ticket
should reach 1900 Sheriff Canning Is sure
OF reelection. despite The fact tii7t 81 the
city II lie said that the Danes. Irrespective
of party, intend voting for the democratic
nominee merely because he happens 10 be
cs Danish birth. This. however, Is not
the case among the Danes throughout the
county. Those belonging TO our party will
vote the republican ticket no matter what
the nativity Of the candidate may be. AZ
the same time I believe that there are
quite a number OF Danes who will see
the inadvisability OF voting for the demo-
cratic nominee merely because he is q
Dane and will vote for their party candi-
date for sheriff. That Sheriff Canning will
receive a number OF democratic votes is
assured and would not be surprised II
they were not sutncisht to offset what ne
may lose among the Danes"
waIkaway for Hess.
Regarding the county attorneyship, Mr..
Reed expressed the opinion that County
Attorney Hess had practically a waIkaway
for reelection. w. c. CheyAe. Mr.. Reed de-
clared, is sure Of reelection as county
auditor, as not only 10 he is we'll known
| in the city. but has the ADVANTAGE OF
being extremely popular IN the east END OK
, the county. where he made his home for
many years before removing 70 Council
Bluffs Mr.. Cheyne has demonstrated that
ne is a most ancient county auditor and
has at all times placed himself at the con
venience OF the patrons OF the once,
| +. J. Johns OF Center township, the new
candidate for member OF the Board OF
! Supervisors. spent several days IN the city
this week getting acquainted and he made
/ friends everywhere. while not so well
known in the city, Mr.. Johns IL one OF
the best men In the country districts, where
he has the entire confidence Of all who
| know him. Mr.. Johns Is regarded as ono
OF the most progressive farmers Of the
county and IL u conceded that he is in ever
way we'll httsd for the once which h
seeks ana for which the republican pArtl
nominated him. The old members u thu
board who are up for reelection are to'
we'll known 20 need any Introduction ant
there 10 not the slightest doubt about tho
reelection. Regarding the members Of tn
Board Of Supervisors, Mr.. Reed says II &
merely a question Of how big majority.
Mr.. Reed. while out IN the county, tool
special note OF the situation relative TO tn
legislative ticket Henry q. Brandes, WIFI
for ten Sears served on the Board Of su
pervisors, Mr.. Reed says. has shown In
creased strength during the last week o
50 and nothing short OF a landslide cal
prevent his election. mr.. Brandes is pc
culiarly fitted for representative. He ha
served the people OF this county for TEL
years on the Board Of Supervisors and hi
record there is uninipeachabie Pottawat
TAME win be well represented in the stat
, legislature by Mr.. Brandes," said Mr.. Reed
