Mr.. Flanagan opened the show OF

CON AHERN's ELECTORAL VOTE

SSN ~ @S-S WIN. =.
A great deal has been said about
the electoral vote received by Con
Ahern in the election in 1904. The
Roosevelt electors received an aver
age plurality over the Parker electors
of 1857, and an average majority OF
1905, over all opponents.
Con Ahern received 1884 votes and
Jas. l.. Butler $3.50 making a differ
ence of only IA votes.
Con Ahern received 66 votes more
than Butler in Humboldt, Lander,
Lyon. Ormsby, Storey and Washoe
Counties. Butler received So more
votes than Ahern in Douglas, Esmer-
aida, Eureka, Lincoln. Nye and White
Pine Counties.
Churchill and Elko gave each the
same vote.
1t has been stated that owing to
the large vote, Con Ahern received,
owing to his popularity, he was al
lowed to carry the vote of this State
to Washington.
We fail to see where his popularity
came in.

Poultry Show
DEC. 8, 9, 10 AND II, 1eos-PRoF. s.
T. CAMPBELL, OF MANS
FIELD, O., JUDGE.

The Fairmont Poultry and Pet Stock
Association will hold its annual show,
Dec. sth to 18th, 1908. The association
has secured Prof. s. T. Campbell, of
Mansfield, Ohio, to Judge the show.
Mr.. Campbell is a member of the exec
utive board Of the American Poultry
Association and has had twenty years
experience mating, judging and breed
ing poultry. He is devoting all his
time to poultry interests, judging and
poultry institute work, in which he is
deservedly popular. At present he is
engaged at the Ohio State University
instructing the class in poultry cul-
ture. A special feature of the show
will be a lecture by Prof. Campbell on
poultry culture, this proving to be one
of the best features in connection with
a show. Many of the local fanciers
already have the chicks matched with
which they expect to win some OF the
blue ribbons next winter. The interest
taken indicates that the show will be
large and successful.
