eMging not more than onc.half the
registration recorded. This may be ae'
counted for, as far ~ the city pre-
cincts are concerned from the lack OF
interest in the election oyershadowed as
il was by the haleful news from san
Francisco that has poured In upon the
electors here during the past three days
and the same is true Of Seaside, where
scarcely half OF the registration was
represented at the polls and this. TO.
gether with the fact that the election
occurred during busy hours Of the day
and the newness of the electoral pur'
po~c, must stand sponsor for the radical
falling off in the representative vote OF
these important bailiwicks, There is
likelihood OF the remaining twenty
showing results more closely approx.
mating the sum OF registration in the
country, where there was less TO dis.
tract the interest Of the voter and
where fuller ballot was cast. and
which may, in some instances, affect
the totals presented in this partial re-
port,

hand the Astorian will offer its readers
