vtded as follows, the vote given being that cast
for governor: e.-: ...'
Republican, es,5e1; democratic, 24,772; social.

pressed that Notwithstanding the great increase
in population the past two years, the total
vote this year will fall below loo, 900, and that
the republicans will not poll anywhere near
"
that farmers are so busy with threshing and
other fall work is given as reason why the
vote cast next month will fall short of that OF
two years ago. ts-5's; 'rt'
vote is fully as great If not greater than that
cast two years ago. - When the voters of the
various counties take into consideration thai
