He was never afraid to undertake

Jealous fellow workers suspected

CITY NEWS.

The merchants who use the col.
umns Of the newspapers most fire.
quently are the merchants whose
stores present the greatest activity.
The newspapers which carry the
largest amount of advertising are the
newspapers with the largest and best
circulation. The cities which attract
the largest trade from the widest
area are those cities whose merch-
ants persistently and aggressive'v
and literally patronize the newspa-
pears. People come where they are
invited and trade where they get the
best treatment Keokuk merchants
are courteous and offer values that
are admittedly the equal and in many
instances better than many other
cities.

1StoAO =
In every ward excepting the fourth,
the balloting this election was more
brisk than in the primary two years
ago. The suffrage amendment, the
contest between Thorne and Kennedy,
and the fiesht on the country tickets
for Legislature and board Of supepi-
visors has something to do with the
increase IN tho vote, 1t is felt.
ASK Only Suffrage BALLOT.
In some Of the wards the voters are
demanding only the suffrage amend
ment ballot, which they have right
TO do under q ruling from the attor-
ney generals ONCE. These voters
are tabulated as non-partisan voters
and vote for supreme court justices
on q separate ballot as we'll as voting
the suffrage ballot. In all of the poll
ing places the suffrage ballot is being
kept In a separate box from the other
ballots.
There IL considerable changing OF
party reported from most Of the pre-
cincts. This Is felt to be due 20 the
wish OF many of the voters to cast
their ballot for Harding, for governor
on the republican ticket. Many Of
them are changing their party afnlia.
tions for other reasons than this, and
they arc being sworn by the Judges
OF election to the usual AFFIDAVIT.
Il IL expected that in the most OF
the precincts, the fourth, second,
sixth and seventh, at least, a large
percentage Of the votes will be cast
between six and eight O'Clock tonight.
There is no chance that any den-
mite returns will be available before
tomorrow some time. The length OF
the ticket and the evident size OF the
vote precludes any possibility Of any
thing like an early count.
