I suppose that may have been why it was that in Mariposa the results came out at first in such a conflicting way . Perhaps that was how it was that the first reports showed that Edward Drone the Independent candidate was certain to win . You should have seen how the excitement grew upon the streets when the news was circulated . In the big rallies and meetings of the Liberals and Conservatives , everybody had pretty well forgotten all about Drone , and when the news got round at about four o'clock that the Drone vote was carrying the poll , the people were simply astounded . Not that they were not pleased . On the contrary . They were delighted .
