No. precinct voting was in the Office of
T. Y ostrander on Columbia street, be-
tween Second and Third. There was a
large crowd around the booth all day, from
the postoffice corner 10 Third street, but all
were quietly disposed until about ) O'Clock.
Just then Percy Goldstone, Hebrew re-
porter on the Journal. came along and got
into an alteration with young man who
charged him with calling ss hoodluns the
men who tried 10 quiet William McArdte,
Democrat, who made adisturbance at the
Arnnory Monday evening while Governor
Ferry was speaking. Goidstone said he
took notes a; the meeting, but the affair
Was written in the ofs.ce-he didn't do it.
/ High words followed and these led TO
blows, which resulted in Goldstone being
knocked against the postoffice and then
against a stand on the outside OF the side
walk. The contestants were parted and
/ the young man went away. Goldstone
said If be could find him he would have
him arrested. This Was the only disturb
ance during the afternoon.

Ii was estimated that precinct No. 1 would
| poll about 700 votes. At 80 p. M. there
were SIS votes in. at 3 O'Clock there were
( f5S and at lis there had been zoo votes
east. The general opinion seemed To he
| that the whole Republican state ticket
| would carry, that Stratton would have a
| small majority. and that 0strander and
| Mcleod might be elected. As for the rest
/ OF the legislative ticket. the opinion was
| expressed that IL would be badly mixed.
| Little eanvsssing was done, and not q
| few had marked their tickets at home AMI

| up not tn change. One Democrat was
heard 10 say they expected the Republi-
| cans to win. bat would put them TO all the
trouble possible by swapping votes, and in
that way stand q show To get in some men
on the legislative ticket.
Mrs. NJ. T.. Haudsaker and Mrs. Park
hurst spent the day braveiy canvassing
voters to mark for prohibition, no matter
what their ticket. and not few we're asked
to support woman suffrage. Mrs. Hand
saker handed in the only woman's vote
east. but Il was not deposited in the ballot
boz.
