can vote Of Marshall county this year.
with the one exception Of that on the
judgeship. The entire republican
county ticket Is elected by pluralittes
varying from 1900 to 1900, and Cover
nor Cummlns gets the county by a plu-
rality of about 1900.
Late today the returns from three
precincts on governor, congressman
and judge were not reported, and thu
vote on the county ticket had not been
sent in from several other townships.
With only three precincts missing,
Governor Cummins' plurality is 1850,
and the returns from the balance of the
county will increase this to LOO, and
possibly to 1900. Governor Cummins
was scratched some, but not to the ex-
tent that was anticipated. and he ran
well along with the balance of the
state and county tickets The vote on
governor in the county, incomplete, is:
Cummins, 1859; Porter, 9s9.
On the county ticket Lounsberry for
clerk and Cooper for treasurer are in
close race for the honors of leading
in the total vote. Egermayer for coun-
ty attorney was cut some in the anti
prohibition precincts, which was ex-
pected. Sheriff Hutson ran slightly
behind the county ticket in places, and
in other precincts made gains, SO that
Of the other winning candidates. Cor
nell for auditor, Mrs. Allen for recor-
der, Miss Hostetler for superintendent,
Bremner for surveyor and DR.. Nichols
for coroner, are elected by handsome
pluralities. For supervisors, Keen
Bueghly and Zines are chosen by plu-
ralities that show little variation from
the full republican vote.
For congressman Mr.. Cousins oppo-
sition was not as strong as expected
and he Is only about $50 votes behind
the head of the state ticket.
The socialist vote of the county,
which showed a remarkable increase
two years ago in the presidential cleo
ton, is only about half what it was
that year, but is increased over the
vote for governor three years ago. The
total socialist vote of the county will
be about 800. Joseph sMohr, the social
list candidate for representative, car
ried one precinct, the Fifth ward, by
few votes.
The prohibition vote on the county
ticket shows little variation compared
to previous years, altho L. S. Coffin,
for governor, led his ticket because he
received some Of the anti lCunmins
vote.
The Judges of one precinct, Vienna,
sent in the returns but failed to post
the results on the outside of the sealed
envelopes. 1t is claimed that this would
invalidate the entire vote of that pre-
cinct If a contest were made. At the
least the result there will not be Of
ficially known until the canvassing
board meets.
Wallace II. Arney, for representative
wins by a vote about equal to that re-
ceived by the ticket.
The socialist candidate for represen-
tative drew more votes from the DEM
ilican.
Marietta Elects Independent.
An interesting contest in Marietta
township resulted III the election of an
independent candidate for trustee, the
first time in the history of 1.-THE township

Some of the voters charged that the
township was controlled by ring and
nominated c. H. Reece in opposition to
the republican nominee. w. w. Hix-
son. Reece was elected by small
margin. 49,
