VOTE FOR COUNTY

The Socialist vote reveals the fact
tina had that party had candidate
for school superintendent Miss Young

doubt. 1t is apparent from study
of the vote. that many Socialists vor

Miss Young received her full party
strength. This is shown by the fac,
that Congressman Hogg, whose plu-
rality was so over his Democratic op.
ponent, received less than Miss
Young. Secretary of State Cowie
whose plurality was Sc, received 23
votes less than Miss Young. Miss
Young received nine more votes than
DR.. Lackey, still the latter was elect
ed by 35 over his popular Democratic
opponent. Again, Miss Young receiv'
ed only one vote less than Mr.. Cos

plurality respectively. But all those
mentioned had Socialistic opponents
except Miss Young and TO this one
fact alone Miss Young owes her de-
feat. This Is simply mentioned to show
that Miss Young was not turned down
by her party, but rather ran ahead Of
the regular Republican vote givA the
state ticket as a whole, for which she
has reason to feel proud. Again. Miss
