From the Lawrence Daily World for Aug. 11, 1908: “The case of a man who agreed to sell his vote to a local candidate in the latest election has had his hearing continued. : A big local celebration for W.R. Stubbs, Republican nominee for governor, will be held at his residence west of town. : A severe electric storm here last night had many on edge and put many telephones out of commission throughout the county. “
