ELECTION SURPRISE.
During the campaign republicans
boasted that the re-election of Philip H,
Meyer, for Co. Commissioner was impos.
sible. They boldly proclaimed that he
was marked for defeat. To their disap.
polntmeut, Mr, Meyer polled the largest
vote of any, Mr. Meyer made a good
record and the public appreciated his
efforts.
The defeat of Mr. Hampton was the
surprise, The general impression was
that he would lead, He is a good man
and the county had need for his services,
PATTON'S thousands defeated Heinle
for senator. Heinle was faithful and
true to the interests of the people, but
had no money to throw into the cam.
paign. To this stage has it come that
the rich are overriding honest men, and
the machine g2ts a senator whose only
strength lay in the money he had to do
his work.
