The vote was one of the largest

demonstrated the fact that although
much interest was manlIest it was
done quietly. A total of 1775 votes
were polled in the four precincts,
the vote in the first precinct being
the largest and totaling 522.
Steve Banovetz, Jr. in the polit-

He polled a total of 999 ballots.

the most popular of the stories by
the famous author and has played
to capacity audiences all over the
country. In it he reaches the peak
of: his art. 1t is sane of the few
stories of the ola west that has
really cut place for itself in the
hearts of the American people.
It is estimated that over twenty
millions have read. and re-read his
story during the past few years.
The enthusiasm of the audiences to
which the picture has been shown
has stamped 1t as one of the great
est of pictures. Harold Bell Wright
says himself: 'It is as wrote it.
The characters shown are the char
acters I created in my story and the
country shown is the Arizona of my
novel. have nothing but praise
for the achievement" When an
author can put his own stamp of
unqualified approval ON picture
one may rest assured that it will be
well worth seeing.
The story itself is laid in Arizona.
Here much of the same' grandeur
and the glory of the old west is UNI
folded in the story of man who
proved himself a man clear through.
Daring, courage and romance blend
here to make it one of the most

The session was of the Minnesota
