Cranberry Sauce,
By Dairy Whttlork. Beaver Crossing.
Neb. Red Bide.
I grew In a bog In the eastern part of
this country. My mother was a plant
as large as a strawberry vine. At first
I waa a bud and then I became a blos
som and soon 1 became a green ball and
the sun turned me a dark red color. Some
daya after that I was picked off and
dropped Into a cup. After a day or so
I found mveelf parked Into a large barrel
and the lid was nailed on. and It was
ery dark Inside. We did not know what
happened next, but I think we tooa a
long trip, because we were rolled and
tumbled around. That lasted for days.
Then after that the lid was off and we
saw a man dtp a cup Into the barrel and
1 was with some of my friends. Then
ws were put Into a sack and were carried
somewhere. Soon sfter that I was on
the stove In a pea oooklng. Some hours
later we were In a pretty china dish.
Then a little girl took a spoon and took
me out. Then she ate me for Thanks
giving dinner. She said I tasted good.
This was the end of my story.

It was Thanksgiving. The turkeys
I were walking about proudly. They did
not know that they were to be eaten.
But I. think If they knew it they would
run away. We wanted to eat them for
dinner. So we did not say anything to
them about It. We had company that day.
There were some' children there, too.
So we were having lots of fun. It be

. Rock Bluffg Dinner Party
Rock bluffs Is a quiet llute village In
Case county on the Missouri river. It Is
one of the earliest settlements in the
stats. Its name will always be Joined
to an Important event in Nebraska his
tory, for on the counting pf Its vots de
pended whether Nebraska should come
into the union a republican or a demo
cratic state. And the counting ef its
vote was made to depend on the ballot
boa going to dinner.
At the eloctlun tn June,' 1964, ths people
of Nebraska voted upon ths question
whether Nebraska should become a
state. At the same time they voted for
state officers whom they would have
provided It became a state. Ths repub
licans were in favor of making Ne
brttke a state at once and named David
IJutUr of Fawnee county as candidate
I t governor. The democrats opposed
makiug Nebraska a stats at onoe, and
named J. Sterling Morton of Otoe county
as candidate for governor. The people
were nearly evenly divided and there
was great excitement.
There were no telephones and very few
telegraph line in Nebraska in those
daya. The settlements were scattered
and It took a long time to find out how
the people had voted. When the re
turns came in it waa found that about
I t itKire had voted to have Nebraska
b' cume a state st once than had voted
agUnet It.
A leg-'.iilature also voted for at this
fine, wBlch was to choose two United
states senators, la Rock Bluffs Pre
duct there were cast J07 votes for the
democrats and s9 for the republicans.
With' these votes counted the democrats
would eleot six members of the legisla
ture from- Cass county. Without them
the republicans would elect all six msm-
bers. It was found ' that , ths slectloa
officers who hsd charge of ths ballot
box in Rock Wuffe prsclnct had gone at
noon from the house where the election
was held to a house a mile away to eat
dinner and had taken the ballot bog
with them. The law said that ths ballot
box snould be In sight of the voters on
election day from I o'clock In ths room
ing until o'clock at night. The county
clerk and the men who helped hlia to
canvass ths votes at PlatUmoutb threw
out all the votes from Rock Bluffs pre.
clnot because the ballot box went to
dinner Instead, of staying at ths polls.
This gave the six republican candidates
a majority In Cass county.
When (he legislature met to elect two
United State senators the two repub
lican candidates. John M. Thsyer and
T. W. Tipton, each received votes, and
ths two democratic candidates, J. Ster
ling Morton and A. J. INjppleton, eaoh
reoeived U votes. If the Rock Bluffs
vote had been counted the two demo
crats would have been elected.
There was a great outcry by the demo
crats at the Ume and In the records and
newspapers of those early days you may
still read the hot words spoken and
wniisa aooui in is arrair. Ths men
who fought each other in those fierce
early political battles have nearly all
passed away. Little now remains of the
village of Rck Bluffs. A fsw old houses
only exist on the old site near the Mis
souri river, fix miles from a railroad,
and only a few of the people there now
know the story of the ballot box that
went to dinner and changed the politics
of a stats.
