deaY0red to prevent authorized watchers
from entering the booths In one
instance, in the Thru Precinct,
situated opposite 2l3 Mason street,
James MinnehaB attempted 10 enter the
booth and was refused admission, after
showing his card. signed by the Mayor and
the Registrar. he protested and endeav-
ored TO pass the person who acted as door
keeper, but the policeman on duty lost no
tine in taking hand and forcibly eject
ing the citizen. The excuse given when
the matter was inquired into, later on, was
that the booth was already filled and there
was no more room. An Investigation re-
vealed the fact that more than ope-half
the persons within the booth were not in
possession of tickets, and apparently had
no object in view other than supplying
liquid refreshments TO the clerks, judges
and inspectors.
Precinct u, on the northwest corner of
jackson and Leavenworth streets, was the
scene of several wOTdy wars toward the

formed one of the Inspectors that he had

announcing that the sun was booked 70 set

inspector claiming that o'clock was the

not vote, and the booth was securely
locked against allintruders.

and Post. Post aud Powell and $40 Grant
avenue. MahOney during his frequent
| visits did not stop at inQUiring the results
throughout the evening. He took par:lc-
ular pains to inquire the business OF every
visitor to the various booths. and in one
| particular instance, in moment of pas
sion. insisted upon having the booth at

the officers. Most of the occupants we're
supplied with tickets, and the Senator
