daily, despite the fact that part of
the time the weather interferred,
being rainy and threatening a por-
ton OF the time. Mansfield gave
all she promised and more, too, and
the crowds were well pleased with
the attractions provided for their
entertainment and amusement.
An affair like this is worth all it
costs and more. When people can
come here and see what really is
produced in the Ozarks, it is the
very, best proof that we are there

While we did not accomplish all that
we hoped. the early returns indicate
that our vote has really increased
over that OF last fall The strength
OF the party Is indicated by the vote

still greater but for frauds In Grano

polls were closed at : o'clock in the

deprived thousands OF Progressive
workingmen and miners OF their

Every effort was made by the old
parties to cut into our strength. One
method was 10 put several local
tickets In the field. In some places
n labor ticket was organized to draw
strength from us; some times a So
called citizens ticket was also placed

iniure us while trying TO hold their
own strength. But every act of this
nature merely serves to strengthen
us. The fair-minded people OF Michi-

Another cause Of our defeat was
