We want everybody to tell just
what he thinks of the matter, no
difference whether his vote accords
with the majority sent in or not.
The total is not so large yet that it
tells much of 4 story, except as it
shows a drift Of the feeling. Il
may easily be that those who think
differently have so far refrained
from voting, or have just neglected
it up to this time.
Do not fail to send In your vote.
You may neglect it until it is too
late to have it counted. It will have
an important bearing on the cam
paign, if a sufficient number Of
voters express. their sentiments to
show really how this county stands
on the matter.
