School Bonds Carry
Almost Unanimously
Out of $40 Votes But 35 Were
Against-Liberal Will Spend
1921, 900 For Buildings.

The election Wednesday was quiet
enough as the saying goes, but when
the votes were counted in the even
ing it was learned that the largest
vote ever cast in special election
had been cast.
In the three wards of the city and
in the attached territory precinct
545 votes were polled, sos of these
being favorable, and 35 against.
The vote by precincts was as fol
lows:
|. First Ward-124 for; 4 against.
y Second Ward-215 for; 10
against
Third Ward-146 for; 15 against
Attached Territory-2O for; none
against
There was some doubt in the minds
of lot of people as to whether or
not the proposition would carry. The
report gained circulation that some
of the people of South Liberal were
dissatisfied with the location of the
building and would oppose the issue.
However, the fact that there were
less votes against in this precinct
than in any other would indicate that
the people of the south part of the
city are really patriotic and did their
duty accordingly. The fact the peo-
pie over there acted so nicely in the
matter is going to have lot of in
fuence in the location of buildings
and will assure them a suitable
building at the earliest opportunity.
Sentiment right now is strong for
the location of school on the south
side.
The strong favorable vote is just
another indication of the manner in
which Liberal does things. Every
body realized that the issuance of
these bonds would mean higher taxes,
but they also knew that without the
additional buildings Liberal would be
at big disadvantage from school
standpoint, and there are mighty
{w people in Liberal who are not
fkerested enough in keeping Liberal
to the front enough to make some
personal sacrifice in order to do so.
The slogan now is "Make Liberal
a school town." and the additional
buildings will go long way to make
this possible.
You can't find better town than
Liberal, more wide-awake or progress
sive and this is the reason that it is
the largest and best town for over a
hundred miles in every direction.
You folks on the outside watch
Liberal grow. Us folks here are so
busy making her grow that we
/. haven't time to do much watching.

Roy Celebrates

Although Roy did not even think
of celebrating the Fourth until Sun
day evening, purse was raised in a
little while that made possible a pro-
gram of races and sports which, added
to the ball games, made the day one
of the best celebrations in years. The
crowd was not so large as would have
been present had it been advertised
ahead, but it was fine anyway.
The forenoon was spent in resting
up save for the Junior ball game,
but the afternoon was crowded to the
limit with exciting diversion.
Following the ball game the COM
mittee with Bill Johnson at the head
took charge of racing. While the
ponies were getting ready, number
of minor events were pulled on the
ball park.
A race for boys under years was
won by little Robert Brashears, with
Johnny Weisdorfer a tie and second
on second trial.
Alvin Farley won the race for boys
under 12 with Harold Young as sec
ond.
In the 16tyear-old class Orville
Bailey won with Alvin Hammock sec
ond.
In the girls race Clyde Young
blood won with Edna Wade a close
second.
Several novelty races were staged,
with boys who enjoyed the fun more
than the purses.
In the young mems race there were
several fast ones. Some favorite To-
cal sprinters were surprised by Mr..
E. McNutt, a brother to Prof. Ora
hams wife, who loped across ahead of
all the local talent in hundred
yards. "Pinkey" got second by a
hairs breadth ahead of the field.
In the 250-yd cow-pony race,
George Rays dun horse ridden by
Miss Louise Kennedy won first and

Cox for President
Roosevelt, Vice.

On the 44th ballot at San Fran
cisco, James M. Cox, Governor
Of Ohio, was nominated for Pres
ident on the Democratic ticket.
Franklin D Roosevelt was cho
sen unanimously as candidate for
Vice President.
It is too soon after the blow to
risk an opinion but it is apparent
there are as many democrats dis
appointed as there were republi-
cans displeased with the nomi-
nation of Harding.
The hopeful sign is that few of
the intelligent people of the US.
are deceived by the sham battles
but know the sinister force be-
hind the scenes and they will, in
due time drag it to the light.
In the meantime, its Just as
well to trot along peacably be-
tween your party traces till the
general revolt comes and then be
ready to do things.
