Forest City's Caucus

The caucus election on Tuesday
was quiet affair, tho there was
one or two declaimers who didn't
quite understand why the new law
let Democrat have charge of a
ballot box, and also why it per-
mi,ted the same name to appear
on two factional tickets.
The board of judges were made
up of Messrs. j. p. Brehl, /. T.
Timberlake (Rep.) and M. a.
Comeau Dem. The Prohibs.
were evidently waiting for the full
fillment of the prophecy that the
''last shall he first as only one
lone individual took the trouble to
look around for prohib. booth
and ballot box.
The Crawford or insurgent tick
ct led the field, as follows:
II. f. Gates. l5. +. b. Congdon.
1G; r. b. Ellis, Is; G. S. Joscelyn,
II; l. Timberlake, II.
The Stalwart,:
ID. J. Mckay, II; W. Ripley.
Is; jeff Sage, II; II. f. Gates, II:
I. ID. Reed, l2;
''Scattering:" A. LaPlant, 1.
One feature of the Law was en-.
tirely overlooked and that was the
election of precinct chairman
and clerk by each party.
The Democratic ticket received
but three votes. which was rathe,
mixed. AS we understood MIR
NJ. A. Comeau will be the delegate
elect.
