Marshall county did what was ex-
pected of her in yesterdays election,
and rolled up a handsome majority fol
the republican candidates. The vote
while heavy, showed a loss in Tafts
vote under that given Roosevelt -four
years ago. The precincts heard from

in the county will be between 400 and
500. Even at that, however, the county
goes republican by a big majority
about $500 for Taft. Cum Minis. fol
SENATOR will run far ahead Of his
ticket.
Taft Has Usual Republican Lead.
The eight precincts in tie county
heard from give Taft 1910 and Bryan
asa. The same precincts in 1904 gave
Roosevelt 1892 and Parker ,S2. This
shows a republican loss of 49,. and
democratic gain of 172, or total DEM
ocratic gain of 254.
cummins Makes Tremendous Gain.
With nine of the twenty eight pre-.
cincts of the county heard from it il
apparent that Cummins will carry thu

shown a gain of 572 over the republi-
can primary in June. when Senator
Allison was his opponent. The nine
precincts give Cummins LILO and
Lacey 3S5. The same precir cts at the

Surprise at Soldiers Home.
One Of the pleasant surprises to thu
friends of Governor Cummins was tho
handsome endorsement given the gov-
ernor in the soldiers heme. With
Lacey himself a veteran ef the civil
war it was believed by many of the
rCummins men that the VIC te Of Linn
No. 2 would favor him. Allison was
given majority in the June. primary
but the figures were just reversed yes
terday. Cummins' vote at The soldiers
home was 212 and Lacey's 100. In the
June primary Cummins received 10z
and Allison 157.
The same big gains for Cumming
were noticed in other precincts, no.
ticeably in the Second and Fourth
wards. In the Second ward Cunmina
received 80 as against 241 In the June
primary, while Lacey received 55, al
against 122 for Allison. In the Fourth
ward Cummins received :,S3, against
147 at the June primarya and Lacey
got 35, as compared to Allisons 101
in June.
The first ward shows a loss Of 81
for Cummins and loss for Lacey Of
Al. Cummins gained III the Third
ward, and Lacey lost 5S.
