Their candidates went dov. n - to defeat, In f ueh a w ay as to piove conclusively that the-other side was all powerful. George. A. Fuller of Kden. named for the house of representatives, was conceded to do the anti-liquor candl date, and he was next to the lo.wesl ' man w hen the first ballot was counted, count-ed, remaining the lowest until the last ballot He was nominated by an Eden man and seconded by those who are In sympathy with the Betterment League movement.
