of better turnout to the primaries
secured results. We hope our earnest
oNNOSdSs VI dttcHudHCt at the DOilS
at the regular election will be equal
ly fruitful. The late primaries must
have taught many that the voters
have the power if they will but ex-
ercise it. Every voter should resolve
now to be out November 4th. Attend
to your own most important business
Hire your own officials.
A nomination in which all our peo-
pie had great interest was that of the
candidate for State Senator from the
Eleventh District, comprising Delta
and Gunnison counties Delta having
so many more votes than Gunnison,
made it rather a hard fight for the
local man, but he won with 227 ma
jority. Gunnison gave him 450 ma
jority and Delta only gave their man
little more than 200. Three small
precincts are to come in yet but
cannot change the result if they gave
them all to Dr. Ferris opponent. If
elected, and we feel sure he will be,
this district will have the ablest SEN
ator it has ever had
