Though I don't think they would be much advantage to me as I don't want to back up a team every time I go to town. I left my coal ail at the farm and walked home from there getting a ride from the Winking Hill from Billy Watson. It was rather late when I got the chores all done and as I was tired I didn't do anything all evening but snooze. I didn't go out to vote today as I had no way of getting there except walking and I didn't consider the election important enough to warrant that much exercise. Kent and Roy are aspirants for the reeves chair and though I would have supported Reg Kent had I voted I don't think it makes much difference. Micheal was in to see dad, soliciting his vote and using the argument that he strayed "to home".
