Evening Republican, Volume 18, Number 260, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 3 November 1914 — ELECTION PASSES OFF VERY QUIETLY [ARTICLE]

ELECTION PASSES OFF VERY QUIETLY

Magnificent Day Should Bring Out Large Percent of Registrations Count Will Be Slow. Today is another magnificent day and the result should be a large per cent of the registered vote. The election in Rensselaer seems to be passing off in the usually quiet manner. Guesses on the result-are being made and The Republican here publishes a guess on the county ticket. It was figured out by several Monday night and represents the consensus of opinion of members of the three leading parties. The order only is given. Look this over tomorrow and see how nearly it is right. Congress, Wood, Peterson, Ade. Representative, Hays, Wood, Kinney. Judge, Hanley, Darroch, Rogers. Prosecutor, Tuteur, Hess. Foresman. . Clerk, ePrkins, Maloney, McCurtain. Treasurer, Hoover, (May, Halstead. Auditor, Hammond, Sayers, Eb more. Sheriff, McColly, Culp, Kolhoff. Coroner, Rainier, Johnson, Sauser. Assessor, Thornton, Postill, Thomas. Surveyor, Hobbs, Bostwick, Gamble. Commissioner First District, Marble, Fisher, Morehouse. Commissioner Third District, Washburn, Welch, Hensler. It was agreed that Hammond and Sayers would be very close; also that Postill would push Thornton and Thomas, and that Hugh Gairible would get a large vote in Rensselaer and Would posslbly be second or even better. In commissioner of the third district Charles Welch may defeat James Washburn, the democratic candidate. Of course, it is all guess work, but In the arrangements is the opinion of several who have Miad their ears to the ground and who think they know a thing or two about the way the votes are going. Since there are five ballots the voting is slow and the counting will be very much slower. It will probably be near morning before the result in Jasper county can be definitely learned. Returns frqm the east will begin coming in, probably, soon after 6 o’clock, andjihe usually large crowd will probably loaf at the court house, where the county returns will be tabulated.
