History of Elections.
In this list may be found an account of every election held in Pocahontas county from the date of its organization in 1859 until the fall of 1903. It in- cludes the names of the candidates, shows the political party they represented and the number of votes they received. This list therefore shows the relative strength of the various political parties in different years. The last column shows the majority the successful candidate received.
In this list the following abbreviations are used: R. for republican; D. for democrat; Ind. for independent; Proh. for prohibition; Soc. for socialist; Peo. for people's party; G. for greenback; Nat. for national.
