The vote on the constitutional amend

all three Of them. Only half of those
who voted took the trouble to express
their wishes in this regard

The vote WAS very light When the m
rortancc OF the offices to be illled ana
the Nigor nf the campaigning are taken
into consideration.
Roughly estimated. 22.Ooo votes were
polled. This is about 40 per cent.
vote. In the last presidential election
there were @l.Ooo votes cast TWO years
ago. in the Barnett-Ereasy fight for
state treasurer the total vote was lS,ooo.
This latter was an unusually small
,ote.

,lic balloting was close, but the Repub-
licans We're more hopeful by the fact
,hat the large Republican wards such
as the Ninth. Seventeenth and Fifth
'ast comparatively good sized votes.
However. when the report of how these
votes We're divided commenced To come
N hopefuncss gave way to serious
anxiety.

Costello was in the lead by "A couple of
Hundred, with slight possibility OF Jones
heading him off.
