Money for air
is Allowed

President Charles j. Sadler, of the
State Fair Association, was in this
city yesterday and secured the state
appropriation for the state fair which
was held up for several months by
the state board of examiners, owing
to strict noncompliance with the law
OF 1903 on the question OF state fairs
1t appears there is joker in the act
OF 1908, placed there by a Carsonite
SO 1t is said, and the terms of the
act have never been fully carried out
by the state fair board, not deeming
1t necessary to do so. There was
some objection this time and a de-
mand that the act be carried out but
after holding up the appropriation for
several months the amount was H.
nally allowed.

900 majority for Bryan and Kern,
Ohio and Indiana are sure. We will
carry most of the other doubtful stat
es and in addition will carry some
states that are not claimed. All that
is now needed is to poll our full vote

To-day has been a strenuous one
for the local candidates and both
sides have been working since early
this morning. Rigs and autos have
been flying about getting IN the tard,
voters and out into the country where
voters are employed and who would
have been unable to get ID the polls
without this aid. Not a thing has
been left undOne by either side in
to-days contest and it is certainly a
case where to the victor belongs the
spoils. Whoever are successful in
the county fight deserves his reward
as the contest has been a close and
hard fought one.
1t is an impOssibility to forecast
the result of the vote cast to-day at
this time. although ali sides acknowl
ledge that the outlook is favorable
for Democracy. The hardest fought
fight has been for Sheriff and even
though the Republican candidate has
had the backing of powerful infiuen-
ces it is not believed that Ed Regan
can be defeated in Ormsby County.
This is all here is to it at the
present time and t he rest can be told
when he votes are counted. Until
then it is a gamble and about an even
chance lor all.
