other nation wide poll on president
report from headquarters yesterday.
Up to that time in the nation Hard
ing had polled 158,063 votes in the
north and Cox 5,494. In the south
Mr.. Cox received 42,1O7 and Harding
24,428. Mr.. Harding according to the
poll will get, including, eight votes in
the south total of 364 electoral votes
while Mr.. Cox is only credited with
the 1877 votes in the solid south. Ac-
cording to the poll Missouri, West
Virginia and Kentucky are running
close between the two candidates, in
Missouria there only being about 40
votes difference and it may be that
Harding will take some of these
states away from Cox. In North Da-
kota the votes stand Harding 1888,
Cox 1853. ~ .-l

NAL School foot bridge at the end of
Fifth avenue south, was condemned
and regarded as unsafe for passage.
During the last few weeks, the state
administration had had this bridge
thoroughly repaired, new supports
placed under it and the approaches
fixed up in good shape, and now that
bridge will stand most any kind of
weight that you might want to put on
tin other words it is now safe and
solid, which will be not only pleasing
to the Normal School officials and stu
dents but to all who have occasion to
use this bridge.
