In that primary about 1b42 votes
were cast, while the registration
shows 4l66 votes in Paducah, or 2614
which were not cast for this ticket, or
both primary tickets put together
Hence unless 1542 10 q majority over
'26l4, this ticket was not nominated
py a majority "of good citizens" nor
even Q majority of Democrats, as
Mayor Yeiser received $50 out of 1910
registered Democratic votes, leaving
1880 Democratic votes he and the
ticket didn't get
Here is another gem of purest ray
serene:
"The Democratic ticket represents
the expression Of the will Of the repu.
table people Of this community, al
most to q man."
We 90 not know what is considered
"the will of the reputable people of
the community, but we do know that
this immaculate Democratic ticket re-
ceived less than 1000 votes out OF the
1910 Democrats registered, and less
than 1000 of the total 4l66 votes
registered by all parties in the last
registration. In other words, Mayor
Yeiser did receive about $50 Demo-
cratic votes, but did not receive 1880
other Democratic votes, and did not
receive 1886 votes of the total voting
population of Paducah. Some of the
other candidates received only few
hundred votes of the 1910 now regis
tered by their party. Hence II they
are the choice of the majority of their
own party even, it 10 rather difficult
to understand how they dgure 1t out,
when none of them got anyways near
half the party vote.
But here is another dazzling jewel
in the News. Democrats crown Of i'm.
