DRYS ARE SATISFIED
Gain In Vote Is Encouraging to
the Prohibitionists. g..

The water wagon people are quite
we'll pleased over the results of the re-
cent election. The returns that are
coming into state headquarters at 0s-
kaloosa show an average gain of 20
per cent over the 1910 vote for COVER
no., or 25 per cent gain over the vote
of 1908. The daily papers are credit
ing the "drys" with gain of so per
cent, but Secretary Taynton says this
is too high. Owing to lateness in get
ting started, some inharmony among
the party leaders and the double-cross-
ling of the gubernatorial candidate by
the Anti-Saloon League, who mark
ed him as wet" and unfavorable to
advance legislation and at the same
time endorsed one of the old party can
didates, the leaders were not looking
for any great gain and would not have
been surprised at an actual loss but
the favorable results make them hap
lpy and ready to take up future work
with vigor and enthusiasm. Some
points have shown an unusual gain
in dry votes. Oelwein gives Chain
SO votes this year against % two years
ago; Danville "a, against 81 two
years ago; Newton 46, against % last
election, and Henry county gives a
total of 17S, against 81 four years ago,
with one candidate receiving 542. The
candidate for governor was cut" in a
number of places where the A. S. l..
is influential, but hIr. Jones personal
popularity and aggressiveness in cam,
paigning sent him ahead of the ticket
in so many places that he will aver
age up if not surpass the vote of the
rest of the ticket. The totals from
80 precincts and two full county votes
Indicate a gain of about one-third, but
this will be above the average as the
reports are from the most active cen
tiers.
The plans for future work have al
ready been outlined and will begin
with a state conference at Oskaloosa
on Friday and Saturday. Nov. 29 and

Gently as to old age, and the getting
up of his weekly letter, as it never
fails to appear. While our friends
grammar may be like the writer's,
not up to date in every respect, his
letter contains the spice of the news
from his town gotten up in way
that Is highly commendable. and the
Herald readers there should be proud
OF him and render all the assistance
they can by telling him of the do

that this old newspaper veteran may
