There is every promise that, in spite
of the heat that has characterized the
campaign the election will be a quiet
one. But it will be most earnestly
fought until the hour for the closing
of the polls. The Republican managers,
it is said, have engaged about sixty
hacks and automobiles to haul voters
to the polls. and the other side will
have runners and their vehicles out
likewise. And so the streets should
begin to buzz at an early hour. 1t is
not anticipated that there will be much
delay in counting the vote, and from
the fact that the polls are to close at
p. m. the result should be known by
midnight-aIthough the returns from all
the outside precincts will probably not
be in by that time.
The Board of Registration will be in
session all day at the Capitol Build
ing, and will arrange for transfers and
see that all electors who are entitled to
vote under the law get what is due
them. But there will be no new regis
trations, and a man whose name is
not on the lists will not get a vote.
Sheriff Henry has issued an order
closing the saloons during the hours
that the polls are open.
