The work Of the police at the various
precincts throughout the city was thor
ough and intelligent. Despite the fact
that there We're more voters than ever
before in primary and more chances
for heated arguments. because Of tho
hard fights that were waged, there were
no difficulties that required police force
to Q,lell. y policeman was detailed at
each precinct. and he remained there un-
til the last vote had been cast No ar
rests were made for disorder at the polls.
and the ..forty-foot limit rule was strict
" enforced.
The activity. of the police and their con-.
slant presence may have acted as a
balm. and kept down possible disorder.
especially in wards wfe-e strong fights
were on between candidates. The police
deserve credit for the peaceful conduct
