The fiercest battle Of the polls" that
has ever taken place in Rocky Ford was

a dandy! From the minute that the polls

school until the 20. Yea! o. Yea! The

furious, a total Of ! l65 votes being cast
in that time, but little over three hours.
The campaign was as ably conducted
as any fight between political parties. 4
house to house Canvass OF the district
had been made by both the Kellogg and
Wiley factions and each had apPortioned
sections Of the battle ground to true and
tried adheren:s; each had their central
headquarters from which to draw the

closest observer the result was in doubt
until the vote was counted. Then il was
