SALT RIVER BULLETIN

Salt River had high stage of
water, but even this was not enough
to float the candidate boat. so it
rains today.
"Bill" Street and Izetta Brown
started to run off together, but bill"
did out-run that other candidate,
Ixetta, and left her far IN the rear. so
"Biil" goes on his journey alone
Howard Price was bomharded
from all sides and has finally given
up the Fort. So Jack ,Rinehart is
not alone on the great Salt River
liner. s
Some fear is expressed that the
Salt River boat will be wrecked. and
a halt is made to have recount for
the sake of a few candidates.
Passage up Salt River is hard to
make at this time, yet some cur
iosity seekers have passports to
leave on the first boat. A few bobb-
ed-haired women are in the crowd.
Rev. Champ was scheduled as chap
lain on the Salt River liner. but is
detained on account of being can
didate for the fall election.
Fly Simpson will act as police
judge on the Salt River Flyer and
viii collect the costs in advance.
Taylor George told Corder Jen-
leins that he beat his man but that
Dayton Stemple received the NOM
ination for Prosecuting Attorney.
Troy Hardman is hard man to
defeat thinks Ed, Baker.
If the candidates for Sheriff only
had known how close the vote would
be, there would have been some King
Richards sayings, my kingdom for
