Theo. G. Nelson's Statement.
Theodore G.. Nelson, secre-
tary of the Independent Voters
association issued the following
personal statement:
ITO one who has been in the
front trenches in six successive
elections in which the issues
have been practically the same,
there is naturally much salts
faction in yesterdays event.
1.-THE Inauguration Of the new
state officials is evidence of the
fact that a majority Of the voters
have at last decided to support the
program and candidates that have
been espoused by the Independent
voters of the state. The long drawn
;ampaign has been both intense and
interesting.
The future OF the Independent
cause and the welfare Of Uur state
now rests largely upon the should
ers of our state officials. They will
have only a very few months in
which to do the many important
things that should be done before
there will DC another election, it is
therefore proper that every citizen
who has the welfare Of the state at
heart, should give them every 90
operation even to the extent OF
sacrificing personal interest"

Theodore G.. Nelson
