Father Wardwell who will be Sc years
old Dec. 5th., voted the straight repub.
lican ticket. His first presidential vote
was cast for John P. Hale the ''free soil"
candidate who ran against the first Har-
rison in 1910. He has voted for every
anti-slavery and republican presidential
nominee ever since except for two elect
ions while living in the territory olDako-
ia which had no presidential vote.
BY the courtesy of the Northwestern
Telephone Co. the election returns for
this county were received at very early
hour after the votes were counted on
Tuesday evening. By IL o'clock enough
had been received to indicate the elect
ion of all republican county officials ex-
cept two. by large majorities and that
these two were also probably elected by
smaller n1ajorities. The returns from
the country at 'arge were received by
telegraph and by seven or eight O'Clock
we knew that Roosevelt was the winner
by largely increased vote over Parker.

The figures are peculiar to say the
leart. They certainly don't cut much
figure politically and also show that the

husbands. The other peculiar thing is
that they seem to have voted neighbor-

tons.
