received 48, 500; Johnston, SO, 1884;
Longino, 1882 and Collins, 49,
l41. This gives Russell a lead
of 11,815. The combined in
dependent vote was 81, J53, or a
plurality of 6,754 and gain in
four years of 80, 1929 votes.
RusselPs strength is 16, 1884 votes
less than it was in 1915 and ID, :
sol less than the head of his
fractional ticket. Johnston run
9,011 votes behind the head of
his fractional ticket in 1915. Of
this gain to the independents
73.1 per cent comes from the
Russell faction, while only 1853
per cent of it comes from the
Johnston faction. To win, John
ston must carry 60.3 per cent of
the independent vote. The
question is, Can he do it?"

The Political Situation

The first primary election is
now a matter of history. The
voters are now turning their
attention to the h o m e
stretch in deciding who
shall preside over the destinies
of the state for the next four
years. One thing is finally set
tied, that is that we are to have
four more years of boss rule in
state affairs, the leading candi-
dates for governor being Lee
Russell and Oscar Johnston, the
favorites of the two bosses. 1t
is now up to the independent
voter to decide between these
two men as their best judgment
dictates. Let every man study
the situation and vote for the
best interest Of the state as his
,wn conscience dictates.
OF the whole vote cast Russell

OkOlOna's Status in the Road
Bond Issue

While things are going, Okolo-
ma wants little something and
she is going to say SO.
But in wanting this little she
is not, and cannot be accused Of
selfish motives, as the following
facts will bear out.
The statement of facts we ex-
pect to make will bear out our
assertion that what we demand
or ask for, is not only, not sell
fish, but in the face of what she
has done along the lines of road
building and repairing for the
balance of the District, her
position might be, more properly
called altruistic.
The first proposition is, (that

cIudes the territory of the Third.

of Okolona and Egypt, which
came under the Road District
law some years ago. approx

and about IL miles resurfaced.
Of this total Bond issue, Okolona
has and will pay half, of this
total mileage. OkOlona has got

The recent Bond issue of One

the case may be, which has been
voted on under Section l and 2
Chapter 1T Sheet Acts of 1916
and which specifically states that
mo methods, or manner, of work
ing roads in any previous laws
bearing on working and building
roads is repealed or modified in
any particular, | understand is
to be applied on about Is Miles
of road in the Phelps neighbor-
hood, and also about II Miles of
the Burlington Highway from
County line to County line.
The Road in the Phelps Com
munity to be rocked and surfac-
ed and the road along the High
way to be resurfaced.
We are glad indeed that the
people in that neighborhood ere
to have rock road. They need
it; and we are just as glad that
the people in other parts of the
district have good roads. To
show the people we are glad,
Okolona has and will pay just
half the cost of these roads to
put them down, and she pays
about $l200.00 Communication tax
to work dirt roads in the District
of which she does not get a cent
herself, and also contribute /
mill tax for road up keep on
roads out side.
The way Okolona pays half of
this money for road construction
is the fact that half of the
assessed valuation of property is
4 Oko Iona, anu Of course it fol-
lows tnaC we pay half the taxes
Tor the liquidation Of Bonds and
interest thereon.
Now under the law, which |
will quote later, we are
under the proposed project of
resurfacing Burlington Highway
entitled to the resurfacing of all
Of Church Street and Main
Street from the School House to
the Depot. Chapter 1863 Sec. 6of
the sheet acts of 1916 reads as
follows:
Each town or village situated
in the Road District organized
under the provisions of this act,
shall be a part of said district
and all property therein situated
shall be subject to taxation as
other property in the district.
The Road Commissioners may
work any street or streets of
said town or village that may
constitute a link or part of one
Of the public roads in said dis
trict, and may also work or as
sst in working any street of |
said town or village that may |
lead from one of the public roads |
of the said district to the ship
ping point, Depot or Depots in
said Town"
AS has been stated, Okolona
and this Supervisors District No.

the Road district several years
ago.
1t was under this section and
Laws of 1914 that we got the
