Reach of Neutrality-suspicious. For
the Election and School Business
Attended to-Another Meeting. z
The board of education last evening
wrestled with the problem of arranging
for the satisfactory conduct of the
school election next Wednesday. There
was no friction until it came to the
question of providing more than one
polling place in the Second municipal
! ward or precinct. Then the contentious
were spirited and tinged with bitter
ness. The proposition to designate a
second voting place in the Sixth ward
meeting house in addition to the poll
ing place at the oregon Short Line
building on West Temple street, was
finally modified by providing for three
polling places in the Second municipal
| precinct one of the two new places to
be at the Fifth ward meeting house,
and the other extra or third, to be near
Third West streets. The board Will
meet at noon today to designate the
| places of voting in the Second and to
name election judges for the three
polls. During the discussion Mr.. Whit
ney gave it out cold that there would be
a contest in the First precinct against
candidate Critchlow, the mass conven-
tons nominee on election day. The
proposition TO compromise on three
polling places for the Second was made
by Mr., Newman. 1t was carried,

! Newman and Whitney voting for it,
and Wilson, Bamberger and Nelden
against it.

ton agreed upon are as follows:

After the contest over the prepara-
lions for the election had been settled,
Mr.. Critchlow had the clerk read the
resolution proposed by Mrs. Alice Mer-
rill Horne and adopted at the Third

engaged this year who was not a resi-
dent of Salt Lake, but the committee
