thing the Chinese in America cannot

is why the police and courts should

POLITICAL NOTES.

Nearly all of the successful candidates
were surprised at the size Of their ma
Jointly. q. :. s 81. = s a &
Az far as We have learned the election
in the different districts passed of
harmoniously. r. y -.s'.. +. "
There were SO votes polled at Grand
Narals Tuesday. At the last election
there we're IS.
A number of voters in this county
changed their politics between tho pri-
mary and general elections.
With one exception every candidate
on the county ticket received majority
in his own precinct, and IN most cases
it was handsome one.
Wednesday and Thursday were anx-
ious days for the candidates for treas
urer. Jones led Jackson by sixteen
votes until Tofte was heard from and
relieved the suspense.
Now that the election is over tho
Ratchet should be buried. Give tho
other fellow the right you claim your
self, the right to support the candidate
who for any reason you think you
should.
The reports from the state show that
Van SAINT has been reelected governor
by about forty thousand, that all the
Republican congressman except Fletcher
have been elected, he being defeated by
John Lind. In this district Bede was
elected by about four thousand majority
over Fay.
Last week We said that We should en-
deavor this week to tell howit happened
upon undertaking the job we find that
it is beyond US and will merely tell what
happened. We give in another column
full returns on the county ticket and
the vote for governor on the state ticket.
The vote on the balance of the state
ticket being about the same as that for
governor.

There have been epochs nj which rid

awakening. Such an epoch there was
at the first glimmering Of new intel

In the roll Of Anglo-Latin poets. He
left Il nsidcrable number Of eniGmas

been repeatedly printed.
Aldhem died in 1909. Before his
