CITY ELECTION.

Our city election is over and most
of US feel inclined to rejoice that
another won't happen again for at
least two years. BY that time most
Of US will have recovered from the
battle scars OF the recent campaign.
The municipal ownership advocates
won by very small majorities, %
small. indeed. that there 10 NO special
reason for them to indulge In pro-
life and prolonged Growing, but a.
majority Of one is as good a. . mil
lion. the rest Of US will have to be
content. and acquiesce In Bryan's
pronouncemetn. Let thepeopleru
We have. had an exhibition Of this
doctrine In national affairs during
the past two years. We have acqui-
esced in everything that has been
done at Washington. d. c., during
that time. because we had to, and We
hope the programme Of the munich
pal ownership advocates during the
next two years will meet with the
same approval Of the people Of this
community that the national admin
istration Of affairs has since the
democracy has been in power.
The Taxpayers' put up q vigorous,
clean fight throughout the campaisn,
and have NO regrets. They would
put up the same kind Of fight and
utilize the same methods II the op-
portunity was presented to them to-
morrow. The personnel Of the tick
ct was first-class. and with ono or
two exceptions the same thing can be
said Of the personnel Of the Citizens
Ticket. Eliminating the difference
OF opinion as to whether municipal
ownership Of an electric light plant
was the wisest course for this COM
munity to pursue at the present
time. you could depend upon II from
the character OF the men who were
running on both sides. that the very
best interests Of La Junta would be
conserved no matter which ticket
was elected.
La Junta was q very wet town ON
election day-figuratively. metaphor
ically and actually. Jupiter Pluvius
was on the Job throughout the live
long day. and In the afternoon virtu-
ally flooded the town. but this did
not deter either side from makInR he
roic effort TO get M many voters m
possible 10 the polls. Only about thir-
ty-cight per cent OF the vote register
ed was polled In the three wards. and
about sixty-eisht per cent OF the tax
payers registered exercised their priv
iiese Of voting either for or against
the bond Issue. The taxpayers elect
ed both Of their candidates In the
First ward. and In the second ward
Draper and Iialbcrg were tied. tho
former winning In the drawing by
lots which took place at the city hall
yesterday morning. when the official
count Of the vote was made. In tho
third ward both Of the candidates on
the Citizens Ticket were elected.
Mayor Lamb was elected 10 succeed
himself by = big majority. carrying
every ward In the city. The story Of
the official vote Of the election. which
tells the'story In detail viii be found

STIRRED By EVANGELISM.

The special evangelistic meetings
that have been conducted by the uu-
ion OF local churches for the last two
weeks. have gained in interest and
attendance from the start and have
now become the most notable move
ment Of the kind held in the city for
some time. II not In the history OF
the community. The entire seating
capacity OF the new Methodist
church has been occupied by the lat
est services and even the afternoon
services have comfortably filled
the auditorium. The splendid spir-
It Of fellowship among the local
churches and pastors. making one
community of Christian spirit and
association. has had much to do with
the stirring of the heart OF the pop.
ulace. Though 4 stranger was call
ed to the leadership. the evident tit.
ness and ability Of the leader, grows
with the days.
DR.. C. A. Ridley. OF Atlanta, Ca,
preacher. lecturer. author. and man
among men. has had the great COM
panies with him from the beginning,
and grows on his hearers - the days
90 on. II will Be exceedingly un.
fortunate for any who allow this
special session Of religious instruc-
tion and revival 70 pass by without
availing themselves Of the privilege
and opportunity Of hearing this re-
markable leader while serving our
city's highest and best interests.
This coming Sunday will be
great day and will mean such crowds
that those needing more comfortable
seating had better come early to any
Of the services. At s:ts .. m. at
the Methodist church. there will be
a union meeting Of the four Sunday
schools. the pupils meeting = few
minutes early At their own churches
and coming accompanied BY their
teachers 10 ~ to preserve better or
der. The primary departments Of
the various schools will meet in their
own churches and will not be expect
ed to participate In the union SER
vice. This service Will be dismissed
at l0:lo O'Clock 40 - 70 allow the
assembly Of the adult congregation
at the regular morning church hour
ALL four congregations uniting and
DR.. Ridley to preach.
At , O'Clock In the Presbyterian
church. will be held another mass
meeting for men. Last Sunday the
response was excellent. but this Sun
day ought 70 crowd the place. Al
the same hour a meeting for the
young men Of the high school and
others will be held In the Methodist
church aud will be under the mag.
netic aud effective leadership of Mr..
Kennedy. the state secretary Of Y.
N. c. A. work for boys.
A. $50 p. m. the union young
peoples meeting In the Methodist
church will be held. with Mr.. Ken
nedy leading. and all our young poo
pie ought 20 get 70 this service. AZ
7:30 o'clock the great evangelistic
service under the leadership Of Or.
Ridley. This will be the greatest
day for christianity that our city
has known aud ought to have . grip
on all hearts.
