| Rural Vote In State Light.
! The rural vote throughout the state
was light, as the farmers who have
been retarded by the weather, pre-
ferred to put in their crops to going
to the polls. ..a
Senator LaFoilette secured his
heaviest vote in the twenty-first dis
trict, where he polled 4,163 votes. In
Fulton county, LaFollette secured
more votes than Taft. OF the fourteen
counties which have SO far. reported as
carried by Taft one-half Of them are
democratic s.:cngholds. where the r.
publican vote was very light.
The exact vote in the democratic
preferential contest Is not known but
reports from 1876 precincts out OF
1912 in the state indicate that Har-
mon has received 1900 votes to VIII.
son 10.779, in those precincts, while
Clark received 40 and Bryan 1855.
Adams county, where more than
1850 voters were disfranchised
year ago for selling their votes, gave
Col. Roosevelt majority of nearly
200. 81 ....,
President Taft carried his home dis
tricts, the first and second. Gov. Har-
mon, who lives in the same city with
1.-The president, Cincinnati carried the
