result in Polk county. While Cum
Minis carried the county by $500,
Carroll carried it over Garst by from
200 to 800.

it was conceded that the Vinton man
might go down in defeat.

in which returns from both governor
and senator were received, the vote
for Carroll was larger than that of
Allison, while the vote for Garst was
much lower than that OF Cummins

Iation would easily go to Carroll for
