November 29 was the date fired for receiving bills against the county except those of the supervisors and for stationery.

1200 of the $469.18 He Used Went to County Committee— Robert E. Gregg's Election Cost Him $149.60 — Judge Carter Won on $172.77. Up to last night only a small num­

ber of Lewis county candidates in the recent election had filed their list of expenses incurred in promoting their campaign. Those heard from included C. Fred Boshart, the Re­publican nominee for member of assembly, who expended a total of $469.18. Of this sum $200 went to the county Republican committee. Robert E. Gregg, the Democratic candidate who defeated Mr. Boshart, turned the trick at a cost of $149.60.

Milton Carter used $172.77 in suc­cessfully promoting his candidacy for county judge and surrogate. Burton H. Loucks, his Democratic opponent, paid out $25 and William B. Breen, who sought Judge Carter's berth on the Prohibition ticket, expended $42.65.

The Herald-Democrat's great Dun-lay Pony Contest has begun. The spirit of the many contestants in the different districts is in keeping with the spirit of the American people— they know what they want and they go after it. It is surprising to note the results of the energetic efforts of these boys and girls. Already they are turning in subscriptions and se­curing votes. This week's issue con­tains the names of the candidates, only, as there are many other boys and girls who wish to enter but whom the Dunlap representative has not yet • met and who have not yet signed as contestants.

Mr. Miller, from the "Dunlap Farm in Ohio, has been here all week in launching the eontest. He wants to see each candidate personally before he leaves, the first of next week. If you haven't met Mr. Miller yet, try to come into the office sometime this week. He will give you some sug­gestions.
