The campaign is over and the uomi-

been named While the campaign
that has just closed has been an ard

OF them worked hard as is evidenc.
ed by the close margin by which the
successful ones received their nomi.
nation, the fight was not without a
humorou side at times.
An esp.,i"lIy good story is told on
Arthur Walcott who was one of the
car 'idates for county judge, while,
ma.ing his canvass friend ' Judge
Walcott stated that one day while
the judge was making house to
house canvass in the rural districts
and while in the neighborhuod of Lone
Grove or some other inland town near
there he hitched his horse and started
in the yard mp to the house. When
nearing the front steps dog which
very much resembled a bull dog and
whose choice article of food is the
seat OF pair Of trousers came around
the house barking and snarling. Judge
Walcott is not afraid Of the members
Of the canine family, but this particu
lar dog was Of very vicious disppsi-
tion, and the judge concluded that
discretion was the better part of val.
or and proceeded not to stand on his
going but beat a hasty retreat at once
for his buggy. While the Judge was
making his race for the buggy. the
lady Of the house came to the front
door. having been attracted there by
the bark of the dog, and yelled, what
are you running for? The judge yell
ed back at her, at the same time
throwing a bunch of his cards, saying.
"My name is Arthur Wallcott and
am running for county Judge, get
your husband to vote for me-"
\ number of candidates are at pres
ent figuring out. how they were de-
feated. and especially by such a close
vote. The race for district clerk was
hard fought from the beginning. with
what seemed to be a race between
Mulkoy and Warren, with no thought
that Vernon would be a factor in the
race. Every time that Warren got
hold Of subject whose vote he could
not secure, he would work on him To
vote for Vernon, and whenever Mul.
key got hold of voter whose suffrage
he thought would 20 tO Warren he
proceeded to do some electioneering
for MIR. Vernon who was making his

nomination

stated that somewhere in the neigh
