SHOW MIXED RESULTS
Bremen Goes Strongly for Paving, Culver
Strongly Republican, Bourbon Di
vides, Argos Gives Big Socialist
Vote, Lapaz Votes For the Men.

Argos, Bourbon, Bremen, Culver
and Lapaz all held elections Tues
day and chose their town officers,
or part Of them for four years to
come. None of these elections was
a matter of much excitement, neither
did party matters affect the vote to
great extent, except perhaps In
Culver, where the actions of the old
republican board in their appoint
ments did not suit the party.
Lapaz voted for men regardless Of
party, they having no party emblems
on their tickets at all. Two men
were nominated for each Office and
they were voted for according to
their qualifications as each voter
saw them, unhampered in his ex-
preston by any party considera-
tions.
The most surprising feature. per-
haps. of the whole election in the
county was the heavy socialist vote
east in Argos. With three tickets
in the field, the socialists cast from
SO to 40 votes for each of their
candidates. 1t was known that
there was some socialist strength
here but it was not thought to be
nearly as strong as the vote showed.
In Bremen, while the whole demo-
cratic ticket was elected, the issue
was rather one Of whether or not
Bremen should pave her streets than
of party consideration. The demo-
cratic candidates, it is said, general
ly favored the improvements while
the republican candidates opposed
the improvements. The normal demo.
cratic ma5orities, heavy enough,
were thus increased. The votes in
the different towns are given below
