"Be at the polls early" was well
needed by the voters today, though
Of the five precincts the Fourth
takes the prize In this respect.
Three O'Clock saw the first man
take his position at the Twentieth
Ward schoolhouse. Fifteen minutes
later another came, and by 4 O'Clock
quite a number had assembled. At
the other precincts the voters began
to show themselves between 4 and
a. m, and when the hour for open
ing the polls-7:ii-arrived, there
was a large crowd ut each precinct.
In the night slight quantity Of
snow fell, and again, after am,
the storm resumed. The electors
tramped about and shook themselves
considerably to keep warm. This
took some effort, even on the part Of
those who were well clad, for the
snow was wet, and the air chilly.
Everybody, however, seemed i'm
excellent humor, and determined TO
avoid anything Of an unpleasant
nature.
When tile Voting commenced the
men came in their order In the lines
that were formei. In the Fourth
Precinct it was a long time before
those who were on the ground early
deposited their ballots, but finally
the crowd cleared and the new
corners had n chance. Hon. John
T. Caine was early there, and was
challenged on the ground Of poly
gamy. An inquiry was had aud
the challenge denied, so he
cast his ballot for the Peoples
candidates. There were very few
''Liberals'' at the Twentieth Ward
until later hour, but there was a
great deal ofchsllenging, and many
Peoples Party men found that their
names had been removed or left of
the judges list, though they had
never received notice OF any kind.
In the First Precihct, the vOt-
ing also began heavy, and
the parties were not far
from even In their representation.
Here also il was found that host
of names Of members Of the Peoples
Party were stricken of, with no re-
dress. At 2:30 there were lll7 votes
cast.
In the Second Precinct during the
morning hours there appeared 4
majority of Liberals but the
Peoples mcn were out in force.
Like the other precincts, names Of
Peoples voters were left oil here,
without notice. Some Of these
voters managed 10 get their names
replaced, while others did not.

The arrangements for preserving
order at the election were good. The
polling places were fenced of by
ropes, and all traffic on that side Of
the street stopped, except for officers,
challengers and voters. Policemen
and deputy marshals were present
to adm preserving the peace should
il become necessary.
There was no court held today,
but the court room had n big au-
lience. There were about 100 men
who wore badges which indicated
that they were deputy marshals.
These were Marshal Parsons re

In the Second Precinct one Of
