According to reports received from
Edmore that :enterprising little city
rolled up a nice vote for the Republi-
can candidate, Burtness, at Tuesdays
election. There were only four votes
for Bangs. This shows the sentiment
in that town and demonstrates their
unity, when a nearly solid Republican
vote is cast in a community where
there are a large number of good De
mocrats. Had the rest of the district
done as well there would have been a
directly opposite result to this cleo
ton. We take off our hat to Edmore
and it's public spirited citizens.

trifle too noisy to suit the officers and
he was taken in. This is a very good
showing for in years past circus day
always meant a busy n at the police
station.
