were the amusement of the eve
ning. While D. C. Ilhoden has been
beaten for the ofllce of sheriff, he
has one tiling to be mighty
thankful for, and that is for the
vole he received at home. It dem
onstrates that he is well thought
of in the community where he lias
lived all his life. Where he has
dealt with neighbors and friends
and gained the friendship of all
by his honest and square dealings
Can all the elected candidates say
as much? Look at their home
vole and decide for yourself
When a man carries his hotm
precincts like Don C. Ilhoden did
with the larger portion of the
vote going to his opponent being
the result of some personal mat
tcr and not the duties of the of
lice considered, and from his own
party at that, he certainly has
grounds to feel proud. We be
lieve that for the present. Cass
County has lost the services of
good man for sheriff, but it can
not be said that old Fast and
West Rock Bluffs did not do her
share, especially among Mr
Hhoden's republican friends.
