BIG REPUBLIcAN VICTORY

|
which have come in from the election
Tuesday the result IS one of the
| largest Republican victories in the
! history of the state and nation Be
fore midnight Tuesday messages were
| received stating that democratic head
quarters conceded the election of Sen
ator Harding for president and that
Governor Cox has carried only few
of the southern states. Governor Al
len and the entire republican ticket
has been elected in Kansas. Com
gresesman Hays B. White has been
reelected over Judge Ruppenthal who
was a strong candidate
In the county affairs there were
three contests around which interest
centered, that of the preventative
sheriff and county treasurer III. F.
Kline was reelected over J. NJ. Rinker
by a majority of sixty-nine votes.
Rinker showed his strength in the out
lying districts while Kline carried his
majority more than overcoming the
lead obtained by Rinker elsewhere.
In the contest for the county treas
urer F. B. Acre the democrat candi-
date won over 0. B. KessIer, of Col
lyer, by eighty-two votes; James D.
Glenn, of Collyer township, was
elected sheriff over A. L. Fox by a !.
majority of seventy-five votes
Glenn was the only American Legion
candidate on the ticket and won a
good many votes in his favor on that
account. There were other cand1-
dates who had opposition but those
elected received such large major1-
ties that it can hardly be called p
contest. To Miss Edith Shaw, repub-
lican candidate for register of deeds,
belongs the honor of receiving the
largest majority of any of the candi-
dates on the ticket, having won over
her opponent by 671 votes. Miss
ElIzabe Mccall, candidate for coun-
ty superintendent has the second
highest standing having been elected
by a naajority of 544, while C II. |
Benson leads in third place with 496
votes to the good Another interesting
feature is the fact that Senator Hard
ing carried the county by 824 votes |
and Governor Allen by 624. 1t seems
that Governor Allen did not hold up |
in popularity with the head of the |
ticket for there were three more dem |
ocrat and socialist votes cast for gov
ernor than were cast for president |
and Mr.. Allen lacked 200 hundred of |
gettig all the republican votes which /
were cast. The same number OF I
democrats and socialists voted for |
their candidates for United States
senator as voted for president, 455. I
Senator Curtis also ran behind the |
head of the ticket by over two hundred /
votes Herewith is pubI1sned the /
totals of the complete returns as re-
-eived at the office of the county /
