organization Republicans are convinced that the primary will be a professional politicians’ affair, with little- attraction for the man in the street, who isn't up on the various slates. See Small Vote

This, of course, works to lhe advantage of the organization, whose chieftains are optimistically predicting that the total Marion county vote won't exceed 70,000. Another hopeful factor, say the party bosses, is that this time the “antis” don’t have the vote-pulling power of an army general in their favor since Mayor Tyndall's name isn't on the primary slate. .

Austin said that George Steiner,

father of five of the pupils, doubted the story at first, but, he, too, was convinced. “As the rancher was 'questioning his own children right after

one ‘visitation,’ some of the others stepped into another section of e schoolroom and began tossing coal at him,” Austin said, “Another pupil grasped: a ‘long stick and gently prodded the coal bucket into action, giving it a side-to-side tilting? effect that Steiner claimed only ghosts could perpetrate. “When the story of the jumping coal and other stories began to ‘get stale,” Austin said, “the children fabricated the madman.
