INTERURBAN ELECTION BEING HELD TODAY

Not Half the Vote in at Two O’Clock —Both Sides Claiming Victory. The Marion township election for the purpose of voting a 2 per cent tax in aid of the construction of the Lafayette and Northwestern Railroad is being held today in Rensselaer. The election is passing off quietly and the indications are that a full vote will not be polled. Up to 2 o’clock this afternoon not half the vote had been polled. Both sides are claiming a victory, but no one can forecast the result. If the election carries it will be by a smaller vote than in previous elections. The opponents of the subsidy are doing all the work and are active in trying to make votes against the subsidy. The chances are in favor of the subsidy carrying.
