While the vote was not nearly so heavy as last year, it was somewhat better than in other sections of the county. If you could have had the worry of election night and the day after when the vote remained unasually close, pos- sibly the “stay-at-home” whose vote might have made the election more safe for Turpin, would have wanted to vote for him. Local Politics With the special congressional elec- tion over, several persons about town are beginning to think of our coming school director election. Around the corner the opinion is very strong for an entirely different board insofar as the old directors who aspire for reelection this fall are con- cerned. While they do not have any- thing against the two old directors whose terms expire, they feel that pos- sibly if two persons, whose names have not .been advocated up to this time, would consent to. .run pos- sibly this feeling which is threatening to develop into factionalism would subside, that the town could unite on electing two persons to the school board who would not listen to either side of the present existing members, but give to our school district a fair and impartial administration. Election Has Light Vote, Locally After experiencing such a heavy vote as was polled last fall, the local election board members took it easy with the exception of the last two hours on election day. The vote was fairly good, but very light in compari- son with last fall. Several women and a number of men about town volun-’ teered their services and donated cars which helped considerable- in getting out the vote that was polled.
