town asking if anyone has seen the

All were missing yesterday
when Mrs. Margaret Waltho, the
250-pound lady mayor, and the
coundlmen gathered bs city hall
to make the off;-jt count and cer
tify the election.
Abont SOtt votes bad been cast
for mayor,, city clerk, city attor

absentee ballots kept in another
place. '
Five precince chairmen saade an
unofficial count on election night
and then turned over me votes and

see him today to tell him the
story and ask if they should have
another primary or go right into
the general election on the basis
of the nnofflcial count.
"We looked through all the elec

that would : cover this; Osborn
said. "The closest thing to ft was
one about stuffing toe ballot box
and taking ballots oat of it. But
there was nothing abont somebody
stealing all the votes and the poO

The good burgher used to sell
his sizzling delicacies from a
stand, thoughtfully lending each
customer white cotton gloves so
he could eat has frankfurter with
out burning or soiling his fingers.
This practice, Herr Feuchtwanger
