pected to Overcome Apathy
Over State Ticket
LARGE REGISTRATION

ord Vote There

Keen interest in fights for various
county offices in Burleigh and other
counties Of North Dakota is expected
TO more than overcome the general
apathy with regard to the state ticket
today and result in much larger
total vote than would ordinarily be
the case with weather conditions such
MS exist today.
A light SNOW fell over this county.
as well as most Of the state, during
last night. This melted during the
forenoon and as a result the country
roads are quite slippery. Because Of
the interest in county politics. how.
ever. it is not believed that the raw
ness of the weather and the muddy
ness of the roads will keep many
from the polls.
