is my opinion
"a large number Of Democrats fav-
ored the election Of Mr.. Emery be-
lieving his platform to be for the best
interests of Ottumwa. Our central
committee was well organized and
worked hard for success and we had a
large number of enthusiastic workers
at the polls. But the results show
that the majority Of the voters are in
favor of wide open" town and this
fact is especially endorsed by the vote
shown in the First ward, which made
