house, where large crowds assembled
to hear not only the local election news,
but to hear the reading of associated
press dispatches from over the states,
which were taken of the wire here and
messages sent to the opera house every
twenty N inutes Thus it was that the
people IN GoOdland on election night
had almost as good advantages to be up
TO date on the latest news as had the
people in the large cities of the United
States; and they knew before they went
home that night-if straws show which

Meanwhile the reports from the city
and county precincts kept coming in.
The vote showed clearly for Roosevelt
in this county, but for local candidates
it was capricious and told another tale.
Grant precinct, for example, on county
treasurer gave Smith, the republican,
so votes and Crawford, democrat, H.;
on county superintendent it reversed it
self and gave Edwards, republican, only
90, but gave Phillips, democrat, 70

his fate until the big vote from the
large precincts came in.
The voting strength of the county
may be judged from the number Of
votes cast for representative, county
treasurer and sheriff: Total votes cast
| for representative, both candidates, was
10; for treasurer, 773, and for sheriff
] ia. The total vote for the other Offices
graded down from this.
This election in Sherman county gives
| both parties encouragement and a clutch
of political power for future contests.
The democrats landed eight men and
| the republicans FIVE. The biennial cleo
ton law in this state provides for the
