From the way things look at present. SAYS
the Ware Union, the dry men seem to have
the advantage in Ware county. cat Way
cross the vote will be close, but we are in
clined TO the belief that the wet men will
carry this precinct by a small majority
Waresooro will give the dry ticket a biz
majority. Glenmore will give the dry
ticket good majority. Manor will be
pretty equally divided, but we think that
the wet uen will have a small majority
there. The vote at Wildwood will be divided
between three candidates, as Rev. Davis
the third party candidate, will get several
votes at that point, but it is thought that
the dry ticket will run ahead there. Bra
CANA will vote almost sohdly for the wet
ticket. Both sides claim a good support al
each or the other precincts but we have
had an opportunity Of seeing but few of the
citizens from the districts not mentioned.
and cannot form any opinion as to how the
vote stands. The ideas given above are
FORMED after talking with men OF both sides.
