WAYNE COUNTY GIVES C, O,P,
MAJORITY OF 1,105 VOTES;
TOTAL VOTE STANDS 1926

This fact is further emphasized
by comparing the votes cast for con
gressman, throughout the county, last
Tuesday and two years ago.
In 1914 the combined vote for the
Republican and Progressive congress
sional candidates was 6,721, the Dem.
ocratic candidate, Finly H.. Gray, re.
ceiving 1922. The combined G.. o. P
and Moose vote that year was 3,429 in
excess of the vote cast for Gray.
The election this week gave Com
stock, the Republican congressional
candidate, a majority of only 1,205
over Gray.
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1916-11-09

In the Wayne county election Tues
day there were total Of 1880 votes
for the presidential eiectors-at-iarge ap-
pearing at the head Of each the six
tickets, this figure representing the
maximum vote cast in the county. It
represents an increase Of 1878 over
the total vote in 1914 when the various
candidates for secretary OF state re-
ceived 1926 votes In Wayne county.
The complete official returns show
Wayne county gave plurality OF 1,105
6,112, Wilson, 5,o07.
In the contest for the long term SEN
atorship New defeated Kern by 1,164.
The vote was New, 1896; Kern, 1882.
In the contest for the, short term
senatorship Watson defeated Taggart
by 973
Wayne county gave Goodrich, in the
gubernatoriaI contest, a majority OF
912 over Adair. The vote was Good
rich, 5,s71; Adair, 1859.
The total vote cast in Wayne coun-
ty for the first elector-at-large of tach
of the six parties follows:
NCPuDASdAs O,AAN, DSAAOSAOI, c,oo'S
Progressive, AZ; Prohibition, 303; So
cialist, 292; Socialist Labor, S3.
The returns in the presidential con-
test show that the Republicans only
carried the thirty-o one precincts of the
city of Richmond by a plurality of
Al. The vote was: Wilson, 2,724;
Hughes, 3,135.
The thirty-four. precincts in the
county outside of Richmond gave
Hughes plurality of 694 over Wilson.
The vote in these precincts was:
Hughes, 1871; Wilson, 1888.
There were only II more votes cast
In the precincts outside Of Richmond
than cast in the city's thirty-one pre-.
cincts.
Two years ago the combined Repub-
lican and Progressive vote for secre-
tary of state in the city of Richmond
exceeded the vote cast for the Demo
cratic candidate for that office by
1,874. In that contest there were 1900
votes cast, or $50 less votes, cast last
Tuesday in this city in the presidential
contest.
A comparison of the votes cast last
Tuesday and in the 1914 election
shows that the Republicans failed to
get the bulk of the former Progress
sive vote as had been anticipated, for
the Republican plurality last Tues
day in the city election was, as stat
ed. only AL over the Democrats.
