The complete, though unofficial, precinct by precinct table shows Stockman winning the supervisor race in every precinct as the official counts await final confirmation. The results reflect a spirited contest and indicate broad support for Stockman.
The table shows voters crossed party lines as Republicans backed Democrats and Democrats backed Republicans in places, with Cummins leading at 2,635 votes and Phillips at 1,380. McDonald led the Democratic list with 2,354 votes. Butler had 1,159 and Cowles beat Kunz 627 in their contest. A cold day drew a large turnout amid lingering fears of winter.
About sixty Algona citizens traveled to Humboldt for games on a fine Saturday. Humboldt’s team won the northern contest 27 to 4 and the high school basketball game ended 49 to 0 as Humboldt’s players impressed the visitors. A banquet at Unity church fostered cordial ties, though sleet and snow hindered returns. The hospitality left a lasting impression and cemented friendships between the towns.
A.B. Cummins received a New York chamber of commerce invitation to respond to a banquet toast on November 19. He accepted, and will prepare manuscript remarks on The Present Prosperity of the Republic, What Are the Essentials to its Continuance, for printing. The invitation is notable for its selectivity.
