 The Major has always delighted himself in kidding about the ballot job which he himself only missed by the skin of his teeth when the contract awarded and many times has asked when expected to retire and live in and contentment the proceeds.
 But while the Major kids wrestle frantically with job of the cahre that has sent many otherwise vir print into the internal regions and with each succeeding candidate for precinct committeeman. chances of drawing a halo and harp get simmer.

How much do you know!
 Here's sample:
 If you new building there certain improve ments yon could have made had you been the architect or the builder
 The man who lays new pavement doesn't do 1t just right. You point the defects and tell him how 1t should be done.
 If the village dads pass ordinance you tear II into Slreads and lay bare it's glaIing inconsistencies.
 If the school board adopts set of books you know of another set that would be far better.

While showing some signs of fatigue Mir. Ward is by no means overcome and expresses con fidence that he is due to receive the endorsement Of his party voters in the primary election.

Hutchison is a candidate for re-elec- tion to the office of county recorder, hut has no opponent in the demo cratic primary. After the primary he will make a campaign of the county. meeting his friends and voters in all parts of the county.
