Clark Howell Is a Close Third
IN the Race for Governor
In this County.

The Observer obtained the
above result in taking a straw
vote on the candidates for gov.
ernor. A ballot box was pre-
pared yesterday afternoons sealed
and an opening made in the top.
Every citizen met. or found in
his place of business was given
an Opportunity to write his bal
lot secretly and deposit in the
box. The ballot box was taken
in the court house this morning
while the democrat mass meeting
was in session and every one
present was given the chance of
voting. Absolute impartiality
was observed and we believe the
vote to be pretty safeindicatiou
of the strength Of the candi-
dates.
A large number of people re-
fused to vote at ali. Some said
thssK2d not given the race for
governor much thought and was
not prepared to vote. 1t is prob
able that not more than two
thirds the people voted to whom
the opportunity was given, which
indicates that there is lots of
work to be done here by the cam
didates. This was Especially
true of the people from the count
ry. Most of them manifested
very slight familiarity with the
race for governor.

Half year had elapsed since Smith

AN ERROR IN JUDGMENT

1t is lamentable fact-but one not
wholly devoid of humorous possibility
-that spotless rectitude, through
some wanton trick or irresponsible
chance, sometimes finds itself sailing
under false colors.
There is an elderly gentleman, pro-
fesscr in a Western university, who
is a paragon of all virtues, great apd
small. Even in such matter as diet
rigid absteminousness is observed by
him. His achievements in his line of
work, excellent in themselves, are the
more noteworthy by having been ac-
complished notwithstanding his deli
cate eyesight. To his intimates it is
also well known that the professor, in
earlier years, displayed remarkable
will power in overcoming defect of
speech, which recurs now only in
moments of extreme perturbation.
The excellent professor was return
ing home at early dawn one day. soon
after college opened, from the bedside
of a sick friend. AS he proceeded hast

One night last June Smith dropped

San Francisco. The next morning, as
he thought. he awoke in a strange
room. Rubbing his eyes, he gazed
about him. 1t was 4 sordid room, un-

Consolidated Lease (the stock in which Company is now
selling at rs cents after only six weeks work) on the north
and the Kalfus lease producing from $4,000 to $4,000 per
day, and the Bradbury lease, producing from $4,000 to $4,000
per day, on the south. On the southwest is the ~Ish-Sheets
Combination lease producing from $4,000 to $4,000 per day,

from $4,000 to $4,000 per day and the famous Hayes-Mon-

Any shot may take us in the pay ore that is giving up
such fabulous riches to the stockholders Of the Frances-Mo-

We have one of the choicest blocks Of the great MO-
HAWK bonanza. AS you see we are surrounded completely
by paying leases, and these rich ore shoots can be traced d.
rectly into our ground. And we have until July LIST, 1907, in
which to take out the gold.
This stock, which we offer at 80 cents a share, will
share in the wonderful advances that have been scored
by our neighbors. There is no better investment in the West
