Fifth Ward.
FIRST PRECINCT,

This is Metcalf's own ward. At the First
precinct at 3:15 o'clock Dawson was 25
ahead. Murray was scratched and Sanborn
supposed to be considerably ahead. There
were several solid Republicans peddling tick
cts with Dawson leading the list, and the rest
tailed out with the Republicans candidates.
The High school bonds were out of
favor here again. Messrs. Schefer,
Barden and II. G. James we're getting in
their work. Capt. Lee was also around
strong for the right, as YVES Capt. Rhodes.
Joe Spiel was doing the persuasive to some
Faderland friends, who we're tagging in the
discharge of their duty. No excitement.
SECOND PRECINCT.
This is Metcalf's own precinct Aid.
smythe, H. A. Castle, Ed Rice, Jr., James
Smith, Jr., Aid. Belote, and a few
others, were around lighting up the gloom,
so to speak Alta o'clock 1924 votes had been
polled, forty three affidavits helping out the
number. Dawson was declared ahead in
Metcalf's own precinct. Brennan was said
to elected over Belote, and Castle was sup
posed to be ahead of Rice, school inspector,
as Mr.. Castle, who proposed to
be trick horse in the
gubernatorial race-hear him talk, see him
aspire and perspire-was doing the gallant
in bringing the ladies forward calamity to
vote for him as school inspector. He'd get
'em to the polls, get their votes and then
drop them. Then Officer DeCorsey would
do the urbane and get the ladies out of the
crowd with all the gallantry becoming a
French gentleman. Everybody was serene
all day and not a particle of excitement
f3o1% bov Tho
suit was sad blow to Castles hopes, as he
had counted on being modestly endorsed.
Sicth Ward.
There was more interest taken in the
election here than anywhere else in the city.
A big crowd was around the polls, and not a
minute elapsed without vote being handed
in. The interest seemed to center in the
fight between the opponents for
good nature and high good
humor prevailed all day. The affair, in its
excitement, somewhat resembled Methodist
love feast. Voters were rushed up, and
lively electioneering was the order of the
day on all sides. There wasn't the symptom
of a f1are-up during the whole day. An cleo
pioneering dodge was tried by Minea's
friends, which. Aid. Mccarthy
got on to- at once and
exposed. Tickets were being peddled with
the full Democratic tickets, excepting j. G.
McCarthy's name and substituting for it.
Minea. Challenges we're quite plenty all
day, and affidavit votes piled up above the
ffties. About S o'clock, just before the polls
were closed, there was considerable hasty
voting done, and loud shouts for the
laggards to come up and do their duty.
The election was orderly throughout.
