CLOSELY CONTESTED
RACES END WITHOUT
RAN COR; LOSERS
CONSIDER INVITATION
To TURNER FALLS
(By lRedyns)

Now that the primary election is Il
thing of the past, every one of the
defeated candidates i'm Tuesdays bat
tie Of ballots are preparing TO go
back to work WITHOUT any sore spots
to mar their serenity.
At the courthouse today where the
most of them assembled to await re-
turns. from the county election board,
they We're al discussing the INVITA-
ton of Robert f. Scivally to visit
Turner Falls for a few days and think
things over, and many expressed their
intention of doing so.
The race between some Of the an
didates developed into a very close
situation, and the result hung in the
balance for "A long time, the success
full ones heaved Il sigh Of relief when
the result was made known official
ly, and the defeated ones took their
medicine gracefully.
The race for sheriff was a surprise
Ito many of the seasoned politicians
who could not figure by any man
ner Of computing that Akers would
run third on the ticket, and when
the raturns began to show that he
was in that position, could lot be-
lieve 1t possible. They attribute many
causes to this condition, but most
Of Their guesses We're so widely scat
tered that it is up to each individual
to figure it out to suit himself.
Jesse Lasley was another surprise
in the court clerks race. Many peo-
pie had never seen the young man,
but cast their ballot in his favor at
the request of his friends who We're
active in his behalf ever since he
made the announcement.
Mrs. Mcintyre got off to a late
start but conducted n whirlwind cam
piien that came near putting her
over the top, and the vote received
by her is one to be proud Of. Had
she made an earlier start and been
.tble to appear before the people the
differently.
Mrs. Zaneis for county superintend-
ent. conducted a vigorous campaign,
and won out in Il race that developed
considerable interest toward the close.
In the county commissioners race,
the second district, in which Pierce
won, was the most holly contested.
with three men entered it was n
hard thing to guess who the winner
would he, all three candidates made
practically a house to house canvas
Of their district, and the result was
in doubt until after the last ballot
had been cast.
In the first district Commissioner
Young was incapacitated from making
a personal campaign on accoun Of u
serious accident and had to depend
upon the work Of his friends to help
him out. Had he been able to par
ticipate actively the result might
have been different.
IN the third district, Taylor made
an active campaign and his extensive
acquaintance in the oil field districts
was a factor that helped pile up n
substantial majority over his oppo-
nent, although Mclaughlin, a young
man unknown to many Of the voters
in his district made a good showing.
The total vote in the county was
another surprise. II was estimated be
fore the election hat 5000 votes
would probably be cast, but the total
as shown by the returns, makes II
nearly 1000 above that number.

THREAT Of WAR

TOObTA|N CONFIRMATION

London, Aug. 5.-Statements printed
by extremist newspapers here that
Great Britain has threatened to de.
clare war against soviet Russia If
the bolshevikt advance into Poland.
is not halted, have not been confirmed
in authoritative quarters.
While it is generally agreed the al
lies are taking an emphatic stand
upon the terms sent by Earl Curzon,
British secretary of state for foreign
affairs to George Tchitcherin. boz.
sheviki foreign minister, on July 90,
in which he stated that If the soviet
government made war upon Polish
people the allies would assist the
Poles, nothing reliable is known which
would justify the assumption that
such assistance would take the form
Of a declaration of war.
In military quarters here, the view is
taken that the allied principal wea.
pom against the b%olsheviki, if il is
decided TO oppose them. will be the
blockade, and that the Poles will, if
possible, be given supplies. DOUBT
is expressed however. as to the pos
sibility of conveying supplies to the
Polish army. in the event that the
bolsheviki capture Warsaw and close
he corridor leading from Poland to
Danzig. In this case, a blockade.
might be the only means of helping
Poland.
The military situation relative To
the bolsheviki and Polish armies con
tinues somewhat obscure. A Berlin
report received here would seem
to indicate soviet troops have reached
a point about 80 miles from the outer
Notifications of Russia. The report
however, has not been confirmed and
in fact disagrees with some other
dispatches,
