COSTS OF COUNTY
ELECTION RUN
HIGH

With the county election only
ten weeks away, the political
scene in Dickinson is becoming
more active. Up to this time both
parties have concentrated on or
ganization work, with special ref
erence to the qualification of vot
ers. That work will not end until
the final registration day on Oct.
9Th
But even now the appeal to the
voters is getting under way. Cam
paign literature is making its app
pearance, and the candidates are
stirring. They are going into the
homes to tell their stories and
are also attending country church
es, family reunions, and funeral
services. Bill McFa1l is directing
the Republican campaign, while
Wilson E. Counts is in charge of
the Democratic effort
From conventions to election
day, the scramble for offices in
this county literally amounts to a
race, and the cost to each candi-
date is plenty. Paying poll taxes
alone probably requires at least
$4,000 from both parties. Then
the matters of currying favor and
getting the vote to the polls takes
a heavy toll from the pocketbooks
and bank accounts,
Outstanding in the campaign
talk is that the Democrats will
try to have 1900 absentee votes in
the bag by election day and that
the Republicans plan to flood Ger
tain precincts with money on cleo
ton day.

military known as Aunt Nan, died

a pleasing personality and had
an unusual number of friends.

BASEBALL SEASON
CLOSES IN BLAZE
OF GLORY
BY CLAUDE SHORTT

A large crowd gathered at the
Playground last Saturday night to
witness the last baseball game OF
the season on the home grounds.
The crowd expected victory and
was not disappointed. Lefty Peter
son was on the mound and was
chiefly responsible for winning
the game to the tune Of 7 to 3.
The return game at Dixiana
was also a win for Clintwood'
Iron Man Fuller, otherwise
known as the Old Master, got
credit for this one. The ClintWood
batters went on a hitting spree
early in the game and put the
contest on ice. Final score: Clint
wood Z, Dixiana 2.
Your reporter adds that he has
enjoyed reporting the games and
hopes the fans have enjoyed the
writings. The baseball season is
now thing of history and could
have been better if the players
had started to fight earlier in the
season Sport interest will now
shift from the diamond to the
gridiron, where the mighty Green
Wave of Dickinson Memorial
High School will do its stuff. I
shall try to entertain you with
a game-by-game account of the
football season. Later, when the
cleats and helmets are put away,
