The lengthy report notes McKinley leads with a large electoral margin as votes come in from multiple states. It cites 208 votes for McKinley and 104 for Bryan, with many states still uncertain. The piece references New York, Ohio, New Jersey and others, plus advertising and print shop notices for the newspaper.
The notice urges immediate purchase of woolen goods as high tariffs will double prices. It warns customers to act now to save money and directs them to E. H W. Johnson & Co for purchases.
Election day passed off quietly in Elgin with the township’s largest poll ever used by registered voters. There were no fights or disputes as locals voted without fear or favor. The notice also urges readers to settle overdue subscriptions, and advertises Elgin Mit products with several prices and a call to place orders at the post office or mill.
