Republican leaders assert that the ma
tOrity OF this class Of voters gave their
support to Elliott. He was the popu-
lar choice of the business men of the
county and the great bulk OF the far
mer vote also went to him.
The result in Henry county was one
OF the surprises Of the election. That
county, with normal Republican
majority Of from 900 to 1000 gave Ell
lott majority Of approximately L.
400. Rush county also greatly in
creased its Republican vote, giving
Elliott 7e3 majority although the nor
NAL Republican majority in that
county is approximately 500.
Hancock = Surprise.
Democratic leaders were greatly
surprised over the results in Hancock
county. the home of Mr.. Strickland.
They had figured Strickland would
carry that county by over 1000 ma
jority, but Strickland's majority was
cut down to $50.
Representative Elliott carried his
home county GIT, which Is approx
mately 100 above the normal Repub-
lican majority. 1t is stated that ev-
lican, even rock-ribbed Democratic
Waterloo township. which had never
gone Republican before in it's history.
The Democratic majorities in both
Franklin and Shelby counties were
considerably reduced. Elliott's ma
jority in Union, 231. is approximately
the normal Republican majority in
that county.
