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.

Christmas decorations, and a
sumptuous dinner was partaken of
at noon.
Christmas carols were sung,
then after a brief business meeting
the afternoon was spent in play
ing games under the direction of
our president, Mrs. C. V. Cole, as
sisted by Mrs. Hazel Hibbs and
Mrs. Chas. Russell. Sides were
chosen, and the green side won
more games than the red side.
The poinsetta telegrams were
very amusing. In playing Santa
and his gift, Mrs. Hibbs w'm the
gift piize, and Mrs. Floyd Revell
won the Santa. 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.
The last thing on the program
was the exchange of Christmas
gifts, and at the end of a most
enjoyable day the ladies departed
for their homes, each regretting
that our Christmas comes but once
a year,
