ADAMS COUNTY REMAINS 6REEN Giving Each Candidate A Pluralty Os Over Two Thousand

Never in the history of polities in Adams county were the returns so slow In coming in. It was 9 o'clock before the first returns came In and then only the vote for president was given. By 12 o’clock, however, the vote for president,'governor and the state ticket had been received and enough from the eounty ticket to ascertain that the democrats had remained loyal in this old green spot. As a result it is known that the pluralities this year will exceed the two thousand mark, breaking all previous records. This fact was due of course to the fact that the republican vote was light and that it was divided nearly equally. There was not much difference In the votes /or the various candidates and scents to have been but little split among the democrats. Beveridge ran ahead ol Roosevelt slightly in this county, but not as much as was expected by manv .Mr. Ellingham and Judge Erwin, on the state ticket, were each given a handsome vote, and John Adair kept his usual lead. The vote for president in Adams county follows .Middle .Monroe AVllsou, 79. Taft. 27. Rosetelt, 2.
