Yesterday the official count of the votes
cast in this county at the recent election
was completed, after two days Of the
hardest work the clerk says he has ever
done.
The heaviest vote cast was that on con.
gresham, the total being S,521. This is
less than the total vote cast two years
ago for president by l,70l. What has be-
come of these missing votes is a question
that remains unanswered. Some allege
LDat they went to the Cherokee strip dur

exodus from the district To the strip,
nevertheless they did not go
from here. for the census taken
last spring showed no decrease
In the population of the county. The
Democrats claim the shortage occurred by
reason of the stay at home Democratic
vote, and to prove this they cite the fact
hat while Overmeyer got only 79S votes
this year, Charlie Mossbscher got 1900
votes three years ago, when the last
straight Democratic ticket was in the
field. The PoDulists al-o claim a stay Al
