ing of Candidates and Leaders

guests OF Chairman Palmer Of the state
central committe and after a substantial

ONE MINUTE.

Within one minute after the close of
the voting in the ninth precinct the re-
suit of the ballot.ng of that precinct for
president was known and one minute
later was being discussed in the
Courier Office and in republican head
quarters. BY eight o'clock one hour
after the polls closed the judges and
clerks had completed their work and
were on their way home.
With this quick, snappy and salts
factory work the results of the other
precincts make a most dreary compare

supervisors room where the machine
performed it's work. the judges had
their straight ballots counted some
where about 3 o'clock. They then sat
down to a long dreary struggle with
the balance of the poll which ended
about $3.50 o'clock in the morning.
Authorized by Supervisors.
1t will be remembered that the board
of supervisors had authorized by reso-
luton the use of the voting machine
in the third ward in addition to the
regular Australian method, but the
judges took 1t upon themselves to re-
fuse to allow the use of the machine.
The examination of the poll books
and the records of the balloting with
the ballots defaced and thrown out in
these two precincts will perhaps prove
interesting when the official count is
made on Monday.
