A business administration for the
city of Marshalltown is assured for an
other period of two years by the land
slide of Mondays election, when O. i.
Ingledue was returned to the mayors
chair for second term. A record that
has never been excelled by a mayor
Of Marshalltown has counted for votes,
and every ward of the city gave q
handsome endorsement in Mr.. Ingle-
dues re-election A total of 1929 votes
was cast, falling off of 464 from
two years ago, when the first fight be-
tween Ingledue and Anthony c. Daily
was made.
Ingledue's plurality over DAILY Mon
day was S2S. Two years ago 1T was
6S. Two years ago many people lacked
faith In Ingledue as a candidate. The
change Of sentiment is clearly apparent
in Mondays vote. Two years ago In
gledue had no majority; Monday he
received a majority Of 433. Two years
ago 1ngledue carried but three wards.
the First, Fourth and Fifth. Monday
every ward in the city went for him
strong.
Attic the election was compare lively
quiet all day, as the lack of a full vote
indicates much interest was centered
in the returns Monday night. Many
people failed to vote because Ingledue's
election was conceded, and yet, in many
instances the head of the ticket, and
the vote on solicitor and assessor man
aged ito engross all of the voters in
terest. In the First ward alone coun-
Gilman was cut 145 votes, because of
the lack of a real contest. One of the
surprises, if there were any, was the
fact of the socialist vote for mayor
going to Ingledue rather than the party
candidate. Van Sickle, the socialists
nominee, received but sixty votes in
the entire city.
Contests for Solicitor and Assessor.
The only real contests of the cleo
tion were in the offices of solicitor and
assessor. Both were exceedingly close,
and 1t was not until late Monday
night that the results were definitely
known. Northup's defeat of Caswell,
for solicitor, was by a majority of Sc,
and Knisely, for assessor, won over w.
B. Elliott, the present Incumbent and
holder Of the office for twelve years,
by a plurality of %.
Jay Elected in the Third.
In the election of members of the
council there was but one ward that
afforded anything like contest, and
that proved to be hardly worth the
name. DR.. E. w. Jay was elected by
a hearty endorsement, securing plur-
jority Of 100. More than the usual
amount Of interest was centered in the
race, however, and the friends Of both
candidates were active. DR.. Jays en-
dorsement was really quite remarkable
as he has only been resident Of the
city for two years, and a similar cleo
ton, of one practically new resident
and property owner, is not often re-
corded. DR.. Jay, was no stranger, how
ever, as he has been a resident of the
county for many years, coming here
from st. Anthony.
In the Other Wards.
In the other wards A. M. Clark
was returned to the council from the
First, by a majority of 147. In the Sec
ord George Gregory had walk-away.
winning over DERRICK, socialist, by 339.
AIcMains, in the Fourth, was reelected
with scarcely a contest, receiving 157
plurality over Hoeck. In the Fifth
Psenicka was reelected for the fourth
time, by majority Of 116 over Thomas,
socialist.

The vote on mayor. in the different
wards, was as follows:
