How much were you and your asso-

In the Third Ward Of st. Louis. Mr..
cowherd was credited with 1,542 votes and
Mr.. Ball with 81. In 1906. upon the same
at the general election, Judge
Noodson, who polled the highest vote upon

.179 votes. A canvass OF this ward by

Governor Folk, showed that not more
