M. B. Beard and A. U. Lux, prominent citizens of Wolcott, were here today to do what they could toward carrying the interurban election. These gentlemen are very much interested in seeing the road built, as they realize it will mean much toward the upbuilding of this section. Another petition is being circulated in West Point township, White county, for another election, where the subsidy was defeated a few weeks ago by four votes, and the friends of the road feel confident that if another election is held that the subsidy will carry.
