HOPES VOTING STRENGTH

On the occasion of the AsSocia-
ton of Bankers, Group No. 6,
which met at Hope this week,
Mr. Allen Winham of Texarkana
responded to the address of vel
come by Hon. Steve Carrigan Jr.
In his address Mr.. Winham laud-
ed Hope to- the skies saying,
among other things. that he had
been informed that at the last
census Hope had 400 inhabi-
tants, and the best part of it all
was that they were all males, as
at a recent election County seat
they polled ,. 200 votes; he said
Hope was a great town, the great
est on earth.
Mr.. Winham either did not
know, or neglected TO mention
the fact that at a general election
held just thirty days after the
county seat farce they polled
about $50 votes 1t is certainly
a great town that, with 400 pop
ulation, can poll ?, 700 votes. This
2 would mean a town the greater
part of whose inhabitants are
males, and adult males at that.
But what became of these adult
males in the next thirty days
Where. oh where did they go:
Where are they now?
Wonderful town; great ambu-
latory population. Wonder when
the balance of those 2,7OO males
will get back to Hope? Perhaps
it was one of those am bulatory
males that came back after the
poll books to be used as a prece
dent at another county seat cleo
ton.
