ward caucus where the men Want to be
pverg careful Each elector signed his
ballot and these ballots We're preserved.
Also each selector signed all the different
returns and the records and put his
name on each of the envelopes. In fact
each elector signed his name about a
dozen times. The holding Of the elec-
ton VAS Witnessed By nearly all the
state officers. deputies and. clerks and
lby a delega tion from the East Des
NIoines high school. The election " as
Unanimous and the entire vote showed
mot the existence Of a democrat or pro-
Ehibitionist in the whole electorate OF
