posed on John Buxton. for first de-

cided stand in favor OF the election

tinue the same high standard that
has characterized the Durant Public

There has been some question as
to the right of the women voting but
casting out all of the women's votes
the election will still have a clear ma
jority OF 230 votes. There are 1913
votes cast by the male voters of the
city, which is over the number re-
quired by law to be cast in an cleo
tion Of that character.
