COTTONWOOD SPRINGS, Nov. 10
Well, the election Is over and we still
live, but where are we at? But say,
didn't the Republicans wallop US
bad? We could tell the readers Of the
LEDGER how 1t happened, but LIES
too short, and We will let 1t go at that.
We still have Tom Roden, Rufus
Jackson and Cottonwood Springs to
cling to. Just watch us Democrats in
1908. Billie Bryan will be elected
president and we will be Mexlco's
next postmaster, and the country will
be redeemed and happiness and pros
perity will reign throughout this
broad land OF ours. Just watch US do
'em up.
Owing to weather and some Of the
boys being about half sick the LEDGER
typos did not take their outing Sun
day, but VEIN go In a body Thanksgiv-
ing day. A hand.out and other good
things will be given the boys by Col.
Frank Sannebeck, the Dermody Bros,
Paul Weber, Major John R. Luckie
and Dr.. Marks. The above gentle
men are always doing something for
sweet charity's sake and never have
yet turned a LEDGER printers face to
the wall and they never will.
