Kaymond  Miller's  Run
And speaking of the election, the most remarkable result of the day was the ran of Mr. Miller for Trus¬ tee. .Mr. Miller did not ask for any votes; he figured that if his neigh¬ bors wanted him they would say so. anil that he would give them the be.-;'. he had—and he will—and the vote showed the confidence they had in this one of our citizens whb was entirely without a record on which to gage his work.
The conditions with Mr. Pearsall were different in that there was an active campaign against him on the part of certain groups, which made an active campaign necessary and he go', "some vote."
The "\»riter must admit that he ex¬ pected a much larger vote for Mr. Be¬ dell, judgini; by results in previous el¬ ections.
