THE ELECTION IN
HENDERSONV|[IE.

After the great crowds and
excitement Of the previous day,
it seemed really quiet on election
day. There was earnest, steady
but quiet work from the time
the polls We're opened until the
close, but everybody kept in
good hunor, and there were no
serious clashes.
At night a jolly. good-natl1red
crowd gathered at the Hotel
Gates, where the returns were
received. Early in the night it
was evident that Taft had been
elected, and the interest was
centered on the race for. Con-
gress from this district. Craw-
ford and Grant ran neck and
neck, and the closing reports
left the result in doubt.
The election of the county
ticket being conceded, it was
given but little attention.

The Day Before Election.

Last Monday, the day before

and Locke Craig spoke at the
court house to a big audience.
The town was full of people of
different politics but the day
passed off quietly.
