VOLUME XXXVI
STRAW VOTE
SAYS COUNTY
Is FOR ERR —
719 Per Cent of
Ballots Saturday
Are Democratic
Marshall county will cast about
the same vote for Roosevelt and
Dewey on November 7 that the
same voters cast for Roosevelt and
Willkie four years ago on the basis
of a straw vote taken on the streets
of Mad! Saturday afternoon
In taking the straw ballot every
effort was made to get a true cross-
section of the county
Out of the 117 votes cast Satur-
day 84 were for Roosevelt and 33
were for Dewey Reduced to per-
centages this gives Dewey 281 per
cent of the total votes cast
In the general election four years
ago Roosevelt received 2723 votes
In Marshall county to 1032 for
Winkle which gave Willkie 274 per
cent of the total votes cast
The drift of 7 per cent to the
republicans indicated by the straw
vote was not as much as had been
generally expected by persons who
have been watching the political
scene
Voters have practically kill made
up their minds exactly for whom
they will vote and most of them
are very outspoken on the subject
While the straw voting was by sec-
ret ballot many of the "voters"
were willing to let everybody know
how they were marking their bal-
lot and showed it around to by-
standers before dropping it into the
box
2378 Bales of
Cotton Ginned
More Pickers Are
Badly Needed
Marshall county's three gins had
handled 2378 bales of cotton from
this year's crop up to Wednesday
evening
Choctaw gin at Madill had gin-
ned 938 Frost Gin 825 and Choc-
taw Gin at Kingston 615
Fred Cole Kingston gin manager
said cotton was coming in slower
there and that some fields had been
picked clean He said there is no
great need of more pickers there
Madill gins and Dale Ozment
county agent reported that 11111117
fields near Madill and in various
parts of the county had not had a
picker in them Cotton pickers
are badly needed The longer cot-
ton stays in the field the more its
quality runs down
Mr Ozment said the experimental
plot of de-foliated cotton owned by
Truman Cobb near Lebanon was
still in good shape The leaves kill-
ed by a new chemical have dropped
off and the bolls are bleached white
and are kept dry because they are
not shaded by leaves
Mr Ozment says the county's cot-
ton yield will run far above the
state average perhaps at one-half
bale to the acre
