test without any sore spots or
grievance. am for the enllre ticket
as nominated and especially do I
want my friends to rally to the sup
port of my successful opponent, Mr..

is good one, worthy the support of
good people and ask those friends
who sought to nominate me to give
to my successful opponent and the
ticket the same active support that
they rendered me in the primary and
old Lafayette will elect her entire
ticket by a majority that win put al
rest all doubts about her being
solidly democratic.

Can't Give More than 81. 50.

A number of the men who we're
judges in the recent primary election
have been kicking because the Coun-
ty court allowed them only 81. so per
day for their services. Section 1912
of the election laws states that nc
more than that amount shall be
paid. Hence if the court allowed
more it would be in violation of the
law.

jumping off the track, she attempted
to run ahead Of the train. The en-
gineer was unable to stop the train
