L'nofflclaf at Incomplete report! late
loot night dhowed that Senator Allison had
carried Council Bluffs by a saf majority
over Governor Cummins. Authentic figures
from the country precincts could not be ob
tained last night, although Senator Alli
son's supporters felt confident that ha had
carried Pottawattamie' county.
Unofficial figures geve'AUIson a majority
over Cummina of 29 in the First ward, I
In the First precinct and M in the Second
precinct.
In tho First precinct of the Second ward
, Allison s majority was reported to be 42.
In the First precinct of the Fifth ward
Allison's majority was given as 28.
Owing to the length of the republican
ballot and the fact that the polls did not
close until I o'clock, definite figures from
the city precincts will not be obtainable
until some time this morning.
The successful candidates for the repub
licans nominations for the county offices
will not be known until some time today.
Few Democrats Voto.
There was little If any excitement at any
of the polling places and a comparatively
small vote was cast throughout the city.
There being practically no contests In their
party, the democrats did not generally take
the trouble to go to the polls and conse
quently a-small democratic vote was the
result. It was reported all over the city
that a number of democrats voted the re
publican ticket at least so. far as the sena
torial contest was concerned. The Impres
sion prevailed that these democrats who
asked for and were given republican ballots
voted for Governor Cummins.
, The following shows how few democrats
voted their party ticket yesterday: In the
first precinct of the -Second ward there were
2SS republican ballots cast and only fifty
three democratic. In the second precinct
of the Second wsrd there were 908 ballots
csst, of which only twenty-eight ' wero
democratic.
In the second precinct of the Fifth ward
there were ninety-four republican, twenty
eight democratic and ten socialist ballots
cast. In the third precinct of the Fifth
ward there were ninety-five republican bal
lots and twenty-three democratic. In the
first precinct of the Sixth ward of the 416
ballots cast orjly forty-three were demo
cratic. The republican ballot was an unwieldy
affair and In many of the precincts the
spoiled ballots were numerous. In some
Instances the voter placed a cross against
the named of both Allison and Cummins
and again others voted for the candidates
of both the progressive' and standpatters.
In several Instances the name of but one
candidate for some particular county office
was found to be marked.
Democrats' Openly Vote.
Several democrats made no secret about
voting the republican ticket. In one pre
cinct a well known democrat, whose name
was on the list Df delegates to his party
.county convention, asked for and was given
a republican ballot by the Judges. There
were no challengers in -any of the polling
"Traces and the Judges took the stand that
they were required to hand a voter what
ever ballot he called for. ,
Up to noon the voto In nearly every city
precinct was extremely light, but toward
' evening, and especially during 'the last two
hours, the polls were open things .livened
up somewhat.
All of the candidates, for the republican
nominations for county and townthlp olfl-es
were to be seen working at the different
polls, but there was a noticeable absence
of any undue excitement. There were no
carriages bearing banners of the different
parties or candidates and whatever work
was done waa done more or less under
cover.
Allison carried the city by about 800 and
th Indications are he will have between
6of and COO In the county. Twenty-eight out
of forty-two precincts In the county give
Allison 1.214, Cummins 1.744. Cummins car
ried Avoca by 108. Walnut by 20 and Neola
ty 26. Allison carried 'Oakland by 45 and
Carson by 40. Cummina csrrled only one
precinct in the city of Council Bluffs, the
First of the Sixth, by 16.
Senator Saunders Is renominated by from
too to 1,000 and County Attorney Hess by
from l,0u0 to 1,500.

The weekly government crop bulletin to
day says':
From Monday morning to Friday night
the temperature was considerably above
normal, with frequent and general showers.
The rainfall was excessive, the total for
the week at many stations exceeding the
mommy normal. onunuous rains pre
vented any field work being done until
Saturday, and the loss to crops by washing
and floods will be considerable. A great
deal of corn will have to be replanted and
as a result there Is now nearly as large
an acreage to be planted as there was
two weeks ago. The early planted fields
are becoming very weedy, but the more
favorable conditions which prevailed during
the last two days afforded-an opportunity
.to do aome cultivating on high and well
drained land. All amaii grain, grass, clover
and potatoes nave made rank growth, nut
reports Indicate that the condition is good
except on low land, where the grain Is
