Required Extra Judges.

On account of the sharp contests
which were waged in the First and
Fifth wards, the school board appoint
ed yesterday an extra set OF judges,
for each of these polling places. In
the other wards this was unnecessary,
as the election was quiet and the vote
meagre.
at noon yesterday the board was
importuned to appoint more judges for
the First, but this was protested
against by other voters as being I'M
necessary Later in the afternoon, it
became apparent that the small corps
of judges could not cope successfully
with the immense crowds in the First
and Fifth. and so hasty meeting of
the board was held at which Messrs.
Aft, Woolley Giauque, Dooly, Cotton
and Grant were present. The appoint
ments were, for the First Joseph

In the Fifth Precinct.

The polling place in the Fifth was a
veritable battlefield. At IL o'clock only
a light vote had been polled, and at
that hour the McMaster- Kelson ticket
was away in the lead. Filled with
alarm, if not dismay, the few workers
around the poll abandoned their post
long enough to carry the startling
news to representative citizens of the
precinct. In remarkably short space
of time the alarm had spread from
Main street to the eastern limits and
from Brigham street to Third South.
Up to noon very many of the ardent
friends of education had refused to be-
lieve that w. A. Nelden and Charles
Baldwin were beaten, although they had
been forewarned the evening previous
that the trump" candidates had q fol-
lowing sufficient to win out if the free
school advocates did not come to vote.
By noon host of hustlers such as
Joe COttle, Chris Diehl, Fred Loot
borrow, Tom Patten, Charley Davis, 7.
z. Harper z. H. Parsons, Alex Rob-
ertson. Jake Greenewald and E. D. r.
Thompson appeared upon the scene to
swell the army of workers. and imme-
diately all went to work Systematically
to get out the vote. Meanwhile several
telephone wires were kept hot ordering
livery hacks and private carriages TO
bring the electors to the polling place,
which was nearly in the geographical
center of the precinct. The vehicles
were kept on the jump and soon the
negligent voters came by the scores.
Many women braVed the sleet and mud
to not only cast their ballots but to
help the vote getters rescue the schools
from the impending danger of anti
high school theories. All afternoon and
until the poll closed the voters, rich
and poor, fiocked to the ballot box At
the close 1921 votes had been cast, and
then those who had at the last hour
broken their word of honor with their
fellow citizens by trying to quietly but
determinedly put through ticket SYM
bolical of faith breaking and reaction
airy principles, had deserved an over
whelming defeat for their reward.

Third Ward.

Interest in the school election in the
Third ward was not at a high pitch
yesterday In fact, the apathy of the
voters was the most striking feature
of the election. This is accounted for
on two grounds, first, there was no op-
position whatever to the convention
nominees, w. J. Newman and 0. w.
Moyle. and, second, the weather was
such that the people generally, and es-
pecially the ladies, did not turn out in
numbers, knowing that the result was
fOresone.
The sidewalks around the poll
ing place in the old Sixteenth
ward school house, situated at
the corner of First North and Fourth
West, were covered with mud and
slush, and out of over 1900 registered
voters only about $50 cast their bal
lots. The result was as follows:
w. j. Newman, 351; o. w. Moyle,
$50; scattering, 6.

Notes.
1t was a glorious victory.

A crowd of enthusiastic First ward
ers visited this Office last night and
gave three cheers for The Herald.
The comparatively light vote in the
Second, Third and Fourth wards did
not mean that there was any lack of
interest there; simply that the result
was assured and there was no occasion
for any special effort. The First and
Fifth were the battle grounds and in
the former the contest was one of the
most spirited ever witnessed in the city.
Mr.. Symons had superintendent
Nfillspaughs friends on his back by
openly declaring that he was pledged
to supplant the present superintendent
with DR.. J. e. Talmage for the ad
ministrative head of the public schools.

that any teachers were engaged, in
their ecclesiastical capacity, in distrib
uting the McMaster circulars in his
ward, and he is undoubtedly correct.

IN evidence, but a. C. WINS gave his
services to the cause of the opposition
OF course the main purpose behind the
comblnation-stradd ticket was to &C
complish the election of McMaster and
incidentally to run chances on Kelson
defeating Nelden.
1t was very difficult to keep a pretty
accurate check on the vote as it was
polled. It was like the checking dur
ing the old Liberal-People party days.
George w. Snow was not in sympathy

sincerity IN his motion to make the

As a matter of legal form Australian
voting booths were provided for the
use OF voters, but they were used in
only few instances.
The Fifth's election judges, Thomas
Homer, George I. Odell and CO. Farms
worth, were equal TO the emergency.
An additional corps was appointed,
Jake Greenewald. w. S. Ferris and L.
Roy Mansfield, but they refrained from
qualifying and serving because the
other judges knew how to perform their
duties with speed. However. the latter
three rendered satisfactory service in
other capacities around the polling
place.

that he felt in honor bound to support
the nominees of the convention in
which he took part, and he thought it
was the duty of everyone to down the
boilers.
During the day Mr. McMaSter issued
a circular repudiating the anti-high
school platform that had been made
for him, but the damage had been done,
and his declaration Of friendship to the
cause of free higher education for the
masses was counted as naught.

FIFTH WAR.
w. A. Nelden, Long Term.
Charles Baldwin, Short Term.

To quote the immortal Dan LOTUS,
THE little red school house wiped the
earth with the opposition today.
They turned out by company, by bat
talon, by regiment, by brigade and by
division and gave the anti-high school
folks something they needed. 1t was a
victory ali along the line. from the
river TO the reservation and from the
White bridge TO Waterloo.
Critchlow lambasted the rump candi
date in the First, by a majority of 49,
after as stubborn a contest as was ever
witnessed in this city, and Baldwin and
Nelden got so many votes in the Fifth
that Kelson and AIcNfaster didn't know
they were running. In all the other
wards the regulars were elected prac-
tically without opposition.
The lads and lassies who are now
about ready to enter the High school
can rest their juvenile souls in peace, for
that institution will run this year and
the next and the next, and so on
through the years. It is doubtful, after
the drubbing the other fellows got yes
terday, il they will attempt another
assault on this great American insti-
tuition.
IN some OF lhe wards, DdlllculdIlV
the First and Fifth the feeling was
more than bitter and reminded one of
the old conditions, before the division
on party lines. It was Gentle and Nor
mon, Tor the most part, unfortunately,
although the candidates elected were
not placed there by Gentle votes alone.
Many members of the dominant church
stood b. the choice of the mass con-
MENTIONS, and were roundly abused for
their action by many of those who are
ordinarily their friends.
The lesson taught by the two cleo
tons, the city and the city school, is,
in the opinion of a great many, a val
liable one. and is to the effect that it is
far safer TO rely on partisan politics in
the choosing % officials than to adopt
nOn-partsan methods. Several gentle
men, of both factions, expressed them
selves in this manner yesterday. The
abandonment of party niles in elections
tends, in their judgment, to bring back
q lot of the old time bitterness, which
everyone thought was ended. 1t would
seem that a great deal Of the feeling
which was manifested yesterday would
have been avoided had the battle been
on party lines and not as laid down.

In the Fourth Precinct.

The votes in the Fourth were cast
slowly and steadily Because of the
general understanding that there
would be no opposition to the conven-
ton ticket. the voters were apathetic
to surprising degree. The inclemency
of the weather and the remoteness of
the polling place from the precincts
center of population deferred many
from casting their ballots. The total
vote polled was very light, only 1913.
By reason of the fact that the conyen-
ton candidates, Nat NJ. Brigham and
Richard W. Young, were satisfactory
to the mass of citizens in the Fourth,
the voting went along tremendously
and without any special incident. In
fact, the voting was practically unani
nous for the candidates who are
pledged to maintain the high standard
of efficiency of the public schools, in
Guiding the High school, A few voters
were a little apprehensive late in the
day that a sneak ticket would be
sprung and backed by a large reserve
force Of voters, but the fear was
groundless. The people of the Fourth
demonstrated that they are not of the
kind to break faith and precipitate a
conflict that would probably result det-
rimentally to the best interests of the
cause of free education. There were

This over-crowded condition of the pen-
tentiaries Will no doubt secure that
prompt action which necessity requires.
The methods of relief suggested are
% the erection of another penitentiary;
(9 enlargement of existing penitentia-
rieS, or
go such modification of existing laws as
to require counties to keep criminals con-
victed of minor ottenses in their respective
jais.
The construction of a new penitentiary
and preparing it for occupancy would re-
quire from three to five years time, and
would probably cost from two millions
to three millions of dollars.
Enlargement of the present Institutions,
while not estimated to cost so much as
a new establishment, would require proOa
bly, as much time in construction, while
the concentration and increase of the
convict population in single institution,
it is generally admitted, would be a serious
detrment.
A glance a the official statistics shows
that crime is increasing a a more rapid
ratio than our population, and it is well
to consider whether the state shall adopt
the practice OF erecting AN additional
prison at large expense at stated inter-
walls, or inaugurate a policy of utilizing
the county prisons or some of them for
such purpose. The latter suggestion in

present prison facilities, neither method
is possible to the extent required.
Your attention is directed to the urgent
necessity for another state hospital for
