club women and others all through
the campaign.

the campaign.
Taking the Sheriff's and County
Clerks races, which perhaps held
more interest than the others, as
basis, and in which there appears
to have been the heaviest vote cast,
more than ten thousand votes were
cast in the county Saturday. As
was to be expected in so large
field of candidates the result
brought some distinct surprises to
the general public in nearly all the
races, and some keen disappoint-
ment to the aspirants who went
down in defeat, and to their friends
and supporters who stood so Loyalty
by them. But, as everybody knows,
these incidents are parts of the game
of politics.
The returns were received at THE
NEWS Office, and tabulated on 4
large bulletin board lpla0ed in front
of the show window. A dense
crowd of interested and eager people
lined the sidewalk in front of THE
NEWS Office from the time the first
figures were marked up until the
last return was in, and the crowd
departed, each happy or depressed,
according to the way he had voted.
But all good Democrats are ready to
do their duty and give their loyal
support to the nominees at the No
vember election, which is as it should
be.
The results, which are best noted
in the election table published in
this issue, were as follows:
Pearce Patton, for County Clerk,
led the ticket, with total of 1911
as against 1649 for J. B. Caywood,
his opponent, his majority being
1852. For Sheriff, M. Peale Collier
defeated his opponent, R. Ed. Bed
ford, by a majority of SIT. For
Jailer, James E. Taylor, won out in
a field of six candidates, Ed Herrip,
John T. Maher, Spence Menifee.
Jos. A. Smith, w. o. Butler, by 649.
For Tax Commissioner, Benz Wood
ford, Jr., was successful over his op-
ponents, John J. Redmon and Joe B.
Smith, with lead of 500. The fol-
lowing were nominated without op-
position: Robt. L. Stout, Circuit
Judge; Victor Bradley, Common
wealth's Attorney; VIM. H. Webb,
Circuit Clerk; David D. Cline,
County Attorney; George Batterton,
County Judge; James H. Thompson,
Representative; Henry S. Caywood,
State Senator; Rudolph Davis, Cor
oner; Frank P. Lowry, Magistrate.
The contest for city Offices, those
of Mayor and Councilmen, overshad-
owed slightly by the Sheriff's and
Clerks races was spirited, result
ing as follows: E. B. January, 795;
John Merringer, $50, D. c. Parrish,
531, F. E. Nelson, 70, J. w. Brown,
81. For Councilmen the following
were nominated by the totals set op-
posite their respective names: First

For the first time in history the
White House at Washington is de-
livering a direct message to the poor
and needy of America thru the Sal
walton Army, when the Christmas bells
ring out this year. In a brief but i'm
pressive signed statement, President
Harding is about to thank the poor
for their patience and optimism in
most difficult crisis, at the same time
announcing to them the return of ma
tional prosperity.
An outstanding feature of the presi-
dents special Christmas message to
the poverty stricken, is a line in which
he thanks the distracted poor, the idle
and all unfortunates for having kept
good order in this country during tho
ordeal of a great commercial and in
dustrial depression. The president
thereupon lifts the curtain on an ap
preaching better times. His message
reads:
Thru the medium of the Salvation
Army, which thruCut its history has
been peculiarly useful and helpful,
want to send word of Christmas
greeting to those unfortunates for
whom the Salvation Army has &C
complished so much.
II think We may confidently hope
and believe that the most difficult
part of that period of industrial ana
economic depression which followed
the war is now past, and that from
this time forward conditions will inn
prove.
'It has been an occasion of great
satisfaction to me, that turnout this
distressing period. there has been
manifested all over the country so
splendid a spirit of understanding and
good citizenship. I am sure that do
not eXaggerate when 1 say that l be-
lieve in no other country would such
splendid order and Uniform good con-
duct have prevailed among the people
at large. during a time which involved
such difficult living conditions for
great nultitudes of people. It is be-
cause our people have shown such
fortitude, such high civic idealism
that we are so soon emerging from the
distress and difficulties of this pc
riod
