When the next issue Of the HERALD is
given to the public the battle Of the ballots
win be in full blast, and it will be one of the
most vigorous and determined elections held
in the town for many years. Ever hour,
day and night, now seems to be devoted to
work by one or the other Of the parties to
the election and little outside of politics is
discussed anywhere. Politicians are continu-
ally running from one place to another and
button-holing on the street has become so
frequent as to almost pass unnoticed.
From present appearances there will be a
big vote polled tomorrow, but it viii not be-
gin to show itself until the afternoon, as all
the colieries will be operated in the morn
ing The working time has been so arranged
for this week as to make three three-quarter
days, and yet allow half day for election
purposes. To-day the collieries started up at
z a. m. and quit at A15 p. m. Tomorrow
they will work from a. m. until noon, and
on Wednesday they will work from a. m.
until 4;15 p m.
new Democratic dodge was discovered
to-day. The information comes from a re-
liable source. In order to manufacture
voters the Democrats to-day secured large
number of tax receipts signed by an ex-Tax
Collector, but dated so as to bring them
within the two-year limit. The Republicans
and Citizens will no doubt watch for these
slips Of paper at the polls tomorrow.
The number of overseers and watchers at
the polls will be greater than at any time
since the introduction of the Bakor ballot
law All the political parties have had APP
pointments made and with the election
board appointed officials and voters in the
respective polling places there will be no
room for the curious, or others having no
business in the places.
