The ELECTION on THURsDAY.-The
vote on the ratification or rejection
of the Flick Amendment was very
light. The vote in Bath township was
about half out-67 for ratification, none
against There was some mlsunder-
standing as to the manner Of writing
the ticket, in consequence of which
six votes in favor Of ratification, and
three against were thrown out. The
total vote in this county will no. exceed
200 votes. From the returns from the
State at large, we feel safe in announc
ing that the amendment will be ratified
by large majority.-.Noryon Mercury.
A CoxUxDRrM.-Why was it that not
A negro vote was cast in Charlestown
township at the election on Thursday
last
One negro man, a leader among them,
did 90 the polls and make inquiry
as to the effect Of the ratification OF the
Flick Amendment, and when told that
it would give the white man the same
privilege enjoyed by the negro, quietly
withdrew without voting.
There was one colored voter in Us
burn township-none in Arverill.-
Charleston Free Press.
LIGHT VorE.-The vote on the
Flick Amendment, in town, on Thurs
day last, was very light. Three hun
dred and eighty-three votes were cast,
373 for ratification and 10 against rati-
tication. A majority Of the votes cast
in town were by Observation-Disclosures
J"rg Union.
The election, for the ratification or
rejection OF the Flick Amendment,
passed off quietly in this place yester-
day. Moorefield polled large vote in
opposition. We have not received the
figures, nor have we heard from other
precincts in the county, but we believe
Hardy and Pendleton have rejected the
amendment. Full particulars Of the
vote throughout the State will be given
next week.-MoorefeM Advertiser.
Election day passed off quietly in
this township, and quite light vote
was polled.-King,oood Herald.
FROM reports, which we received be-
fore going to press, the Flick was glo,
riously carried. OF the ten townships
of our county, we have the returns for
seven, Parkersburg, Lubbock, Clay, Will,
liams, Tyggart, Walker and Slate, and
the result is majority Of 1916 in favor
of the Flick Amendment, The other
three townships will, in all probability,
swell the majority to 1900.
In our next issue we will give the
names of three gentlemen who voted
in Parkersburg township against the
Flick, and perhaps, will devote a few
more lines TO this subject.-Parkersbrrg
Times
FLICK ELECTION election Of yes
terday was tame, a very few voting, and
among them many politicians Of both
parties. The day being alternately
marked with drilling rain and sun
shine, quite a number Of the suburban
residents were lettering about. The col
ored troops were entrenched strongly in
front of the Court House, and were evil
IDENTIFY much disappointed that there
was so little excitement. This morning
we have authentic news from but the
two precincts about home. In Clark
township there were but 81 votes for
rejection, and 60 for ratification. Coal
gave - votes for rejection, and l6 fol
ratification. 244 votes in ali, and "a
majority against the adoption Of the
amendment. Little effort was made on
either side. The vote cast in this county
will arlly reach thousand, and may
not reach much over halt that number
-ClarksJrg Conservative.
The vote on the Flick Amendment
