Verdigris Precinct Vote StiJI In The Limelight Following is an editorial from the Omaha World-Herald of Thurs day morning, December 19, 1940, headline and all: Not So Funny Now The ease of Verdigris precinct begins to be not funny. Verdigris, you will remember, is the Knox county precinct, whose vote in the November election didn’t get counted right off. It took a supreme court decision to open the ballot box containing the Verdigris returns. The state canvassing board was in such hot haste that it couldn’t wait on the Verdigris returns. It went ahead and declared Harry Swanson elected secretary of state without them. Now that fever of haste seems to have abated. The ballot box has been opened, the Verdigris returns have been certified, and the canvass ing board has included them in the official count for president. But it is in no hurry to consider them in the contest for secretary of state. Maybe they w'on’t be considered at all. Maybe the whole thing will go before the legislature. At this point the matter be comes un-funny. The canvassing board has a job bo do—the official certification of all election returns. That job has been done as regards the election for president. It has been done as regards other offices, includ ing secretary of state, and will not be done until the returns from Verdigris precinct are included in the official count. It is almost inconceivable that in this day and age the canvassing board would have the effrontery to count Verdigris precinct in one contest and not in another, wheth er the outcome of any election were affected or not For the present, most people will prefer to think that this is merely a case of slow Hess and delay. . But if the delay continues much longer they will hegin to think otherwise. The Wsp'W- Herald editor is not very well posted in. the geography of his state, as Verdigris precinct is in Holt county 'and not Knox. , „ * J -7 | CHRISTMAS | i DANCE I i Stuart Auditorium | I MAXINE COTTON AND ORCHESTRA | _ • I i { WEDNESDAY } XMAS NIGHT ! _ { Admission 20c — Dance 20c| CHRISTMAS LOANS It takes money. . . . yes, lots of money. ... to cover your shopping list thoroughly, perhaps a lot more than you anticipated.

Mrs. Hazel Hibbs was also winner of high prize in playing “Nuts to Crack,” w’hile Mrs. Gene Mudloff, a visitor, won low prize. The ladies displayed their skill in “Tieing Neckties,”! and other games. Candy and pea- j nuts were served to winners, also loosers, in these games. During the afternoon, one of our visitors .Mrs. O. O. Newman, re ceived word of her son, Clifford’s operation, and the ladies all ex pressed their wishes for his speedy recovery.
