man that approached the polls In
either of the five wards of the city
this morning. At an early hour
candidates and their friends were at
work. 1t is impossible to get an
ideas to the result until the vote is
counted and the probabilities are
that the count will not be finished
until the wee sma' hours of Sunday
morning. The polls close at 6
o'clock sharp and the count will be-
gin at once. At O'Clock the ward
meetings will be held and delegates
elected to the county convention.
In the contest for governor Coch.
ran and Stone are never mentioned.
Lanham is strong and Culberson
finds good following. Mccall
has received some support and often
can be found Reagan ticket. The
race seems to be between Culberson
and Lanham.

serenely swatching the contest and
speaks confidently.

between Crane and Henry. Fuller

out of 100 "don't care" how they
vote.
For United States senator, Chiffon
is scratched often. Different names
are substituted, and many do not
vote at all.
The race between Pendleton and
Moore is dark. A Milan county
delegation working for Moore is
receiving assistance from Bell
county men who came here to fight
the present Incumbent. Pendleton
is not without friends, however,
and many influences are being
brought to bear to get him vote.
For district judge it is impossi-
