not printed, sent us correction" of the Cub
crnatoria vote Of Waldo county as published
in last weeks journal. We reported falling
off of II in the Prohibition vote of the county,
but the committee say we omitted the Prohibi-
ton vote of in Unity, and that the falling off
in the county is only five votes. We had two
returns from Unity and neither gave any votes
for Gushing in that town, and of course we re-
ported none. With the correction comes a
complimentary mention of "Prof. +. w. Cow

county," The three committeeman conclude
a. follows: ''We fully realize that the strong
support he rendered enabled us to Hold the
