and by ..one p. %. good vote was
polled. Many voters were unable to
vote the ballot intelligently without

and a large vote was polled. The
numerous county candidates having
made a long campaign, succeeded in
getting out most OF their friends. On

candidate in the 2nd and 4th COM
missioner district.
