Fifth Ward.

today. The curbstone caucuses and the
button hclihg ere over. This is the day
when all men are given practical illus
tration Of their equality. The poor mans
vote counts as much as the rich mans.
Under the Australian system it is inn
possible to accurately tell how the vote
stands but very good idea can be gotten,
however, by close observation.
From all appearances, the Democrats
have reason to feel entirely satisfied with
the way the battle has progressed up to
the time of going to press.
The total vote will be n large one and
the chances are in favor Of Mr.. Carroll's
election today. At any rate he will lead
White.
The Sherman vote is coming mostly
from the dissatisfied Republicans but the
indications are that it will not amount to
much anyway.
Below are reports from the various
wards:
In this ward the voting was about on
the average with former elections. The
Democrats came out we'll during the fore
noon-a little better than last year.
At II O'Clock 80 votes had been cast
and the estimate was: 167 Republican
and 143 Democratic. 1t was impossible to
tell how many were Sherman votes. The
Republicans are making the same old
fight. Mayor Goodwin, Alderman
Tiepke and Candidate White are
spending the greater portion OF their time
there.
Headquarters were established in Daniel
Livingston's barn where telephone was
put in yesterday. All the teams are de-
spatched from there. Mayor Goodwin is
acting as head gunner and "little Tip" is
working, but how, remains to be seen.
The Democrats are pulling together and
have number OF teams bringing voters.
They thought they had polled a very good
vote for the forenoon.
During the dinner hour there was a
rush and the Democrats forged ahead, but
Republicans pushed them very close dur

to press it was about an even thing.
