A crowd estimated to number over
three thousand gathered in front OF
the Star Herald Office Tuesday night
to get the returns as they were deliver
ed to us. BY three O'Clock, when all
but five townships were In, there were
still several hundred enthusiastic citi-
zens watching our bulletin board and
waiting for the next news. All through
the night and until noon Wednesday
when the votes were all in and the
totals being added up the crowd hung
on and when the final vote was an
nounced, great was the clamor ana
dark was the billOwing smoke that
arose from the pile of burning hats.
We were very fortunate in having an
organized force over the county that
enabled us to get a report on most Of
the townships as soon as they were
counted. Two or three townships were
not phoned in. however. we received
them Wednesday morning when the
ballots were brought i'm. We wish to
thank our friends who helped in get
ting in the returns and TO assure them
that we will be always anxious to
serve them as well as they served us.
The vote this year in Randolph
county was not so heavy as two years
ago. only little over 5000 votes being
polled. Over $500 were polled two
years ago
Three county races were so h0tly
contested that the final results were
not certain until almost all Of the
townships were I'm. The race between
W. II. Phipps and Myrt Walrond was
neck and neck all night with Phipps
holding a slight lead throughout. For
assessor, Frank Byrd and VIII Timer
ran close race all night, Timer spring
ing well into the lead in the last few
reports. In the sheriff's race Perrin
held slight lead from the first, with
Spikes and Baker running close be-
hind. In all three of these contests
the vote was close but not close enough
to require recount.

returns for state, district and county
Offices as polled In Randolph county.

plete, with the exception Of the un-
contested Offices. The vote for state
