good roads, especially here, directly
east of Mead one and one-half
miles. which will be safe in say.
ing Is one OF the worst pieces of

grain over this road have to daily
haul wagon loads OF manure to All,

1t at all.
Furthermore. MIR. Lewis was in
formed last spring OF the condition
OF this road. Now II there is anv
road that needs convict labor this

able beet haulers to avoid being
stuck there for half day or ali
night as has been the case.
In conclusion wish to say that
we advocate good roads for all

The fourth week of the New York
Herald's poll, published Sunday,
Oct. 20. showed Woodrow Wilson
holding the big lead indicated by
that papers earlier canvasses, while
the drift that had begun to move
from Roosevelt to Taft was not ma
terially checked by the attempt on
Col. Roosevelt's life.
The total of 205.332 votes can
vassed by The Herald were divid-

The Herald is polling 33 out OF
the 81 "debatable" states outside
the "solid south. Its returns indi-
cate that Wilson will carry IS out
of the SO, with Roosevelt running
second and Taft third in 21 OF
them, and Taft second and Roose-
welt third in the remaining five.
In the five states where The
Herald straw ballot indicates thai
Roosevelt Ia now the favorite, and
in the two states indicating Taft
in the lead, Wilson is invariably
the second choice. Democrats do
not by any means concede the bet
tie lost in any one of these seven
states, although these early straw
votes point to small pluralities for
Taft or Roosevelt.
A striking feature of the result,
and one which The Herald did not
feature In its analyses. is the dis
position of the electoral vote on the
basis of the indicated pluralities. III
Gov. Wilson should carry only the
rs states which the Herald covers
indicates he will carry. he would
have 312 electoral votes. or 46 more
than he needs. The eleven South
ern States are certain to give him
1925 more. and four Northern ana
Western States not polled by The
Herald would. with their IS, bring
his total up to 45-leAving 100 to
