northwest cannot cut them away, the
Independents are victorious in the
4 spectacular fight that terminated at
the ballot box .5s. S5

ma jority for the independents of not
less than $500. Itstands this morn
ing at 5,O44 The precincts not re-
ported went for the league last year
by about 500. They may do so a.
gain, but the trend of voting is all
the other way and Cass may wind
up with a final majority of 400. Il
!. is an increase sof from 4, !, SO O0stO ~ 700
over last year, when, % 'Gonnor left
fCass with 8 3,O25 to the good.
