additional supply Of ballots was nee
essary. Little interest was taken in
the election by women and few bal

The total vote cast in each Of the
various precincts at 3 o'clock this

purpose. Telephones may be used
ut intervals when returns are not be-
ing sent over them. To be sure lis

Such abundant opportunities hav-
ing been made for the general dis
tribution of the news, The ARGUS
office will be closed. but the returns
will be received and bulletins dis
played in the windows at frequent
intervals. In this way the greatest
possible number may be accommo.
