Fhe contest for district Judge is
also very uncertain as We go to press,
| it being impossible to procure any
thing like complete returns from the
various counties of the district, but
lthe returns received indicate Judge
Springer is reelected by a substan-

Atty. Taylor Of Waukon. Houck car
ries Winneshiek county over Taylor
by 519, with all but two precincts
reported, and Taylor carries ALA
makee by about 1,lOO, according to
reports. 1t will probably require re-
turns from all counties to determine
the result, which seem to indicate at

Judge Springer received 1872 votes

Public Opinion:
Election returns greatly delayed
throughout the country. Republicans

presentatives. Senate is democratic
by reduced majority. Mccormick OF
Illinois and Capper of Kansas (re-.
pubIican) elected United States Sera-

feats Henry Ford by over sixty thors-
and. Republicans claim Harding
elected governor in Iowa by thirty
thousand. Entire Iowa republican

but intense interest in the outcome
throughout the entire country. Will

of democratic congress and assail-
ling the republicans in congress, and
Hays prompt and stinging reply
struck home and solidified the re-
publicans as probably nothing else
could have done, and as result
thousands of republicans voted the
straight ticket who otherwise In
tended to do differently. The result
nationally is an increased number OF
Republicans in both the national
house and senate, the republicans
claiming the reversal of the national
house Of representatives from a de-
mocratic majority Of six to the re-
Ipublican majority Of ten.
In Iowa the result on governor Is
very much in doubt as We go to
press, both sides claiming victory
by majorities Of not more than ten
thousand. Porter, tho democratic
candidate for governor. personally a
very popular man. polled strons
democratic vote. and also the vote OF
many foreign-born citizens of the
state. who opposed Govern HardinS
on account of his proclamation
against speaking foreign language
in the state.

by the democrats of Iowa for the con-
gressional elections in the second,
