Fought Measures

\ # . 3
The conservative wing of the anti
Townley forces fought the program
measures of the |. V. A. most bitterly
and the election laws most intensely
of all as direct drive against the
Republican and Democratic parties
and as far as the rest of the program
went the conservative wing felt that
it compromised with socialism in so
far as mills and elevators a rural
credits banks and more bond issues
were concerned. ~
Not enough returns have come in to
determine the fate of the initiated
laws and constitutional amendments.
What meagre returns as have been
tabulated at this time indicate that
opposition to the /. V. A. program was
centered mostly against the election
laws.
What votes the I. v A. lost in FORM
er Independent strongholds was due,
it is said, to the opposition to the
program and to some of the men iden-
titled with the campaign who had been
Al lately prominent in league cir
cles.
Fall Behind Nestos Vote
That little Of this feeling attached
personally to r. A. Nestos is reflected
in the final vote to some extent, for
the laws probably will not receive the
endorsement that Nestos seems sure
OF getting at this writing.
County after county which gave
Nestos majority in several instances
rejected the primary laws or gave
them much poorer endorsement than
they did the l. V. A. candidates.
The Tribune is printing in another
column table of the vote on meas
ures so far as returns have been re-
celved. While the returns are too
meagre even to wager a guess, politi-
clans feel that the primary laws have
at least been defeated, while there is
serious question as to some Of the
others. Only complete returns prob
ably will decide their fate.
