Now that the election is over
let US lay politics aside and put
forth all the strength wehave for
the up-building of the country
from Maine TO California. Much
bad bloc has shown up during
the campaign and some of it has
been split. The result of the
election is not satisfactory to all.
Let the minority join with the
majority to build up the coun-

THE COUNTY DEMOCRATIC,
All the Candidates are Elected
by n Good Majority,

All the Candidates are Elected
by Good Majority.
We have not been able to get
the exact vote of all the precincts
but can give very near the cor
rect figures in most cases.
For Sheriff, Markham re-
csived 1856 votes, Neal 1917,
making a majority for Mark
ham of G39.
For Legislature. Mr.. Frank
Fuller received 1927 votes, Mr..
Massey, l44O, giving Mr.. Fuller
a majority of 1s7. We have
not been able to ascertain the
exact vote cast for Settle and
Williams, but it is thought that
Williams has carried the coun.
ty by a small majority.
Cleveland carries the county
by a good majority-the exact
figures will be given as soon as
the returns are complete.
Mr.. Weaver received $50
votes in the county.
Gov. Cars election in the
State is a certainty. The par.
tial returns from this county
bring the votes cast for the two
men near q tie. Furches, repub.
lican candidate for Governor,
may fall a little behind.
Exum, Third party candidate
for Governor, received 1873 votes
in the county and he is elected
to stay on his goat farm.
We were unable TO get the
vote Of the Prohibition party
but when the returns are all in
we will give a tabulated state.
ment Of the whole.
Williams majority in the
county over Settle is about $50
and there is no doubt about hi
election in the district.
