There were 1863 straight Republican
ballots cast and SO straight Democratic
ballots, so it will be seen that the eraser
was quite freely used. Mr. Warmers
friends expected him to poll a heavy
vote, but the most sanguine OF them
did not dream of his invading the terri
tory of his opponent to the extent he
actually did. The vote on treasurer
more clearly shows the rela
tive strength of the two parties than
any other on the list Both candidates
are first.class men, and in making his
choice the voter would he guided solely
by his party affiliation.
