Matter for Thought
Taz Lamb, who's a bear for pol
itcal statistics, has figured out
that 81 per cent of the total reg
iStered Democratic vote in Califor-
MIA was cast for President Roose-

only 80 per cent OF the total regis
tered Democratic vote in Imperial

20 per cent behind the state average
What's bothering Taz is this: Are
the Roosevelt forces fewer here,
didn't they like the tail tied onto
the ticket. or did they figure Roose-
Welt had cinch, anyway, and just
stay home?

BOOM it would make If another
Car hit that one head on.
Not the Same
The neighborhood between Broad
way and Commercial on North
Seventh street isn't the same these
days, now that the bantam rooster
which likes moonlight has ceased
his nocturnal serenades.
Tom Worthington should be
made Governor of Bard. No ona

of that eastern corner of this
county which one official calls
