Turpin’s Victory
_ It was predicted in this column last
week that this great section in and
about Dallas would be largely instru-
mental in electing Dr. Turpin to office
if the citizens would get out and vote.
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.
