the inevitable complement of electing
public officials, cast its record break

Contrasted to the lawlessness that

was recorded. Even Morris Eller' 5

as any staid suburb.

One More Winning and Cup
Stays At FrOid.

Livestock Judging Contest held near

become an annual event in which high
schools Of this county participate.
The recent contest attracted 81 en-
tries from four schools and is the
largest enrolment yet recorded. Each
school is allowed to enter as many
contestants as wish to take part, but
the total of the three highest con-
testants from each school is cOnsid-
cred the team score.

computed automatically.

porary possession of a cup provided

three successive years. F'roid now
has won the cup twice and BrocktoT

Der 18th, says;
Governor Erickson's remarkable
race in the face of an overwhelming
republican presidential vote in Mon
tana. continued to hold interest in
belated returns Wednesday night
from Tuesdays election. With 1885,
600 votes tabulated, the governor, a
democrat, was holding a majority of
hut zoo votes less than Hoover, whose
lead had mounted to 81 ,564.
Belated returns found Miss Eliza

Superintendent of schools, heading
both tickets in the offices below the
govemorship.
The Dourquin- Foot race for attor-
nev general developed into the closest
affair, but even that was not spirit

As the complete returns on many

cincts reported on the commissions
proposition, it was favored by a me
iortiv of 5000. but there was no wa
TO figure which way the remainin
reports would affect the measure.
See Saw on Prohibition Initiative
A see-sawing marked the status
the prohibition initiative. For a tin
it looked as if the measure would

reversed. With less than half of Il
precincts heard from, opponents
the amendment had a slight lead.
