As returns
Nelson came in, Nelson
built an early lead in Holt coun
ty which eventually mounted to
nearly a thousand votes. This
proved too much for Jungman to
overcome, although Jungman was
victor in Rock Keya Paha coun

‘National Affairs'
Talk Topic—
The Chamber of Commerce
will meet at noon Friday, instead
of next Tuesday, and bear J. W.
Morrison, of Huron, S. D., assist
ant manager of the northwest dis
trict of the U. S. Chamber of
Commerce.
Morrison will speak on “Na
tional Affairs.”
O’Neill firms will remain open
on Armistice day.
» uia-nmers are scratching their
heads.
They’re trying to recall when,
in Holt’s colorful past, there’s
been a more dramatic finish in
three or four different political
races than in Tuesday’s general
election.
After the polls closed at 8 o’
clock Tuesday night, the lobby
and offices of the courthouse were
teeming with people. Smoke was
reminiscent of a London fog,
chatter was unending.
It was 10 o’clock Tuesday night
before the first returns began to
filter in. By 2:30 a. m., Wednes
day, it became apparent that only
16 out of Holt's 42 voting jfre
| cincts were going to report during
the night. Then, Wednesday morn
ing came the photo finishes in at
least three close races.
In several voting places in O'
Neill the election clerks had to
scrape the bottom of the barrel
for ballots, because the supply
was practically exhausted. Of
ficials said, however, no voters
were turned away,
The three principal chases were
j for the offices of sheriff, treasur
fer and assessor. There were oth
ers, too, but these three over
shadowed all others.
Mail and disabled votes, which
won’t be counted until the can
| vassing board convenes next
Monday, might alter the outcomes
[ in one or two of these races.
According to unofficial totals
j from all 42 precincts (but exclud
ing 40 to 50 absentee and disabled
ballots), here are the final stand
ings:
For sheriff: Leo S. Tomjack, of
O'Neill (Democrat), 2,797; A. B.
Hubbard of O’Neill (Republican
incumbent), 2,766.
For treasurer: J. Eld Hancock,
of O'Neill (Republican incumb
ent), 2,765; James J. Mullen, of
O’Neill (Democrat), 2,743.
For assessor: William F. Wefso,
of Atkinson (Republican), 2,861;
Tom Sullivan, of O’Neill (Demo
crat), 2,470.
