Morgan County Democrat. (McConnelsville, Ohio) 1886-1943, 1939-11-23

We will soon finish our term as
member of the county election
board, and had hoped we would fin
ish without recount. (Please note
we are writing before the recount Of
the votes for McConneslville may
or.) We are aware that while Nor
gan county folks have always
fought during a campaign, as soon
as the election was over, they smil-
ed awhile-until another campaign
makes us wonder whether they will
smile this time. Before we enter
upon the recount let us say, know
ing the judges and clerks of pre-
cincts affected, we honestly believe
if we find the count different from
that reported by the said judges
and clerks, it will be a mistake, and
not a breach of trust
Believe Tt Or Not
A farm woman in our territory
informs us they gave the rats and
mice feed, as prescribed by the
authorities. They disappeared for
one night-then came back bringing
all their kin folks, and seemed
much tanner Perhaps they felt they
had found folks who wanted to be
kind to them.
