INTENSE INTEREST IN
BATTLE Of BALLOTS

Column by a Small
Majority.

ed to the House.

When the polls opened at seven
o'clock Tuesday, it was evident that
a large vote would bepolled through
out the county. Interest was at
fever heat, and every worker at the
polls gave to his favorite candidate
his best effort. While interest ran
high, but little disorder was had.
and the election was conducted
quietly.
The greater interest was centered
in the gubernatorial candidates,
and it was to this that the fight of
the day was directed. The several
candidates for State House officers
had but little attention paid them
so far as discussion and electioneer-
ing went, and no forecasts were
even made as to the winning can
didates for these places so far as
Cobb's vote was concerned.
More interest, however, was
manifested in the races for the Leg
islature, and the friends of the
candidates busted themselves in
behalf of their favorites.
Mr.. John P. Cheney led the
ticket for representative, followed
by Mr. J. P. York, these two being
the nominees. Both gentlemen
are we'll known throughout the
county, and have been identified,
more or less, with its politics.
This will be the first term for both
in the general assembly. and their
friends predict a record for them
that will be approved by their
constituents.
All candidates for the uncontest-
ed offices received practically the

.HOOPING UP
PANAMA FAIR

San Francisco has begun to whoop
up the Panama Pacific international
Exposition, proposed to be held in the
Coast metropolis in 1915.
Governor Frear has received a let
ter from the exposition promotion
management, which is stated in it's
conclusion to be "a definite announce
ment of intention to carry out the
stupendous project.
The information is given that an in
corporated company was formed In
1906 to handle the enterprise Five
million dollars will be subscribed by
San Francisco for the exposition. 1t
is expected that the Legislature Of
California will appropriate $2,5OO,OOO
and the counties of the State an equal
amount, making a grand total of ten
millions from California. Mention is
also made of the fact that the first
bill introduced at the present session
of Congress was one by Representa-
tive Kahn of California to appropriate
S5,000,00O as the national contribution
to the fair.
AS soon as San Francisco is FULLY
pledged to it's quota, the letter says,
the governors and legislatures of all
the states will be memoriaized to par
ticipate in the event.
This will be an exposition in which
Hawaii ought to make the greatest
display it has ever attempted the

Don't Be Discouraged.

In the street of Life, says par
able, walking in the darkness Of the
shadow, hungry old Satan was out
hunting with his dogs, the little
imps of human weakness.
A man came walking through
Lies street.
Satan said to the little devil. with
bitter face: go. get him for me. "
Quickly the imp crossed the street,
silently and lightly hoped to the
mans shoulder. Close to his ear be
whispered:
You are discouraged"
No said the man IT am not dis
couraged."
You are discouraged"
The man replied this time: Il dc
not think I am.
Louder and more decidedly the lit
tie imp said again: Il tell you you
are discouraged"
The man dropped his heap and re-
piled: Well. suppose | am"
The imp hoped back to Satan,
and said. proudly; Il have got him
he is discouraged"
Another man passed. Again Ole
Satan said: Get him for me-"
The proud little demon Of discour,
agement repeated his tactics.
The first time that he said, "Yol
are discouraged, the man replied
emphatically, No.
The third time he said II am moi
discouraged. You lie.
The man walked down the street
his head up. going toward the light.
The imp of encouragement return.
ed to his master crestfallen.
II couldn't get him. Three times
| told him he was discouraged. The
third time he called me liar. and
that discouraged me.
