In WaIkervle. 4
In Walkervilc not a few of the pre-
cincts experienced considerable difficulty
in counting the ballots, and the heavy
scratching done in almost every quarter
made it particularly arduors task for
the election clerks. Perhaps none of the
precincts had more trouble in making the
count than did the First in Walkeryile
A good idea of the strenuous life led
by the election clerks in the hill pre-
cnct is evidenced in eloquent terms by
the remark let drop by Jerry Mccarthy,
who served in that capacity:
Il would rather fight IS rounds any day
without training than to count ballots
again" said the Wakervllc pct. IF
anybody ever suggests such a thing to
me again, I'll take immediate steps to ar
range fight with Bob Fitzsimmons or
adopt some other easy and painless
method OF committing suicide
Jerry and his associates who officiated
in the First precinct had troubles OF their
own all day yesterday, and are glad that
the election is over and that they can
now eat square meal without feeling
that they are wasting valuable time.
Both the amendment TO the constitution
concerning the term Of Office Of county
commissioners and the proposition to bond
the county for $a5o,ooo to erect hall of
records were overwhelmingly defeated in
Silver Bow county.
Wide Range in Pluralities.
There was wide range in the fusonists'
pluralities on the legislative ticket, Pat
Mullins leading his ticket with 400 more
votes than O'Brien, who led the democratic
ticket Lynch, at the tail end Of the ticket.
had still ego votes more than OBrien, with
precincts favorable to the fusionists to be
heard from.
Miss Cassie Laird, the democratic nomi.
nee for county superintendent of schools,
had been keeping close to the fusion can
didate during the morning hours, when the
latter commenced to forge ahead. 1t looks
as if Miss Loughrin's majority would be
between so and 200.
Pat May had about the same number Of
votes more than his opponent for admins
traitor with indications of an increased plu-
ralty.
