enough to keep the horses from over
sweating themselves, it was n perfect
day for the city election and prompt
~ at s o'clock Il. III. in the 20 precinct
polling places, the presiding officers,
Lheir clerks and the special policemen
were on hand and assumed their du-
les. Each of the three party workers
had their hacks ready and started out
after voters, many of whom, hOwey-
n walked to the polls and voted ear
" before they went to their places OF
business.
In the city Ill was quiet and very
| little business was done. Even the
saloons more generally observed the
behests of the Texas Legislature and
| remained closed and there was little
drunkenness seen at the pools or on
the streets.
As an election day. as far as eX-
element went. it was a failure. the
"hurrah" element being decidedly at
4 disadvantage. The voters Went
quietly To the polls cast their votes
without any pulling and hauling by
ward strikers and voted secretly as
hest suited them At some pools the
Judges or clerks had early decided not
70 allow voters to come into the polls
with ready made slips or tickets in
their pockets TO guide them in making
IN their ballots. but later they learn
ri that they could not prevent this
and SO admitted all such qualified
voters.
At o'clock p. m. the Lights report
RS visited each of the polling places III
mccession and found that an unusual
" light vote is being pOlled so far lor
he day. and the heavy vote VIII De
,ollcd this afternoon. if pOlled at all:
WHY this is so can not be accounted
for except that voters put off voting
until after noon.
