of being the banner Progressive
precinct in the most Progressive

now know This precinct claims
the championship belt on the
strength OF their vote at the re-
cent election wherein they gave ev-
cry man on the ticket majority
OF from two to one, to &c to |.
Study these figures: Taft Z: Roose-
welt 90; Frost s, Falconer S4,
Humphrey IL, Landon IS: Hay
.. Hodge 101: Hart 9, Teats 80.
On the county ticket the same ra-

If any other precinct in the state

are ready to take our hats off to
