The general election day, Tues.
day, November 6, was quieter in
San Angelo than was ever known
before. Voting was heavier in the
forenoon than it was in the after.
noon, but at no time could it be
called heavy. The count at the
court house at Z O'Clock p. m.
showed total vote of 487, or not
near half of the San Angelo vote
at the primaries last July. Any
information from the eighteen
other boxes in Tom Green county
is vague. But if voting all over
the county was no heavier IN COM
parison than at San Angelo, n
complete tally is hardly worth
while, the vote here. being the
main guage.
The straight Democratic ticket
of course carried all over Tom
Green county. A source of amuse.
ment to crowd of bulletin watch
ers Tuesday night, was u report
from Sherwood stating that D full
Socialist tickets had been voted
there. There were six straight
Socialist ballots cast here. Not a
single report could be secured
Tuesday night from over this
county, with the exception Of II
few giving the standing in the
representative race. The race for
representative of the l02nd dis
trict was the only race in this city
and county that any interest was
taken in, yet this race was ex-
tremely one-slded.

Douma Meets.
TROOPS DISPLAY THEIR FIDELITY
Despite War Against Reds Government
Takes Every Opportunity to Prove IL
Is Absolutely Necessary to Gain a
Promised Reform.

st. Petersburg. Jan. 2.-3 p. m.-
The government strongly woried an
nouncement yesterday that it proposes
to pursue to the bitter end the policy
of putting down he reds" following
on the heels of the crushing of the re,
volt at Moscow, demonstrates the con,
fdence Of Premier Whites government
that it has the ability to complete the
task that 1t has undertaken.
The main cause of this confidence
Is the fidelity displayed by the troops
That the government was uncertain
of how far the extensive propaganda
conducted by the revolutionists in the
army had shaken the loyalty of the
troops is unquestionably but the events
of the last fortnight it seems to be-
lieve have proved completely reassur.
ing on this point.
Despite the rigirous, ruthless fashion
in which the war against the "reds" is
conducted the government is taking
every opportunity by word and act to
try to prove to the public that the
repression of the revolutionists does
not involve the abandonment of the
reform program but that on the CON
trary their suppression is necessary in
order that the new regime may be
realized.
1t was learned today by the Associat.
ed Press through Premier Witte him.
self that last nights report that he was
urging the immediate PRONUNCIATION of
constitution Is incorrect.
Until the douma meets, "said ae,
81 stand firmly on.the manifesto of Oct.
go Not one step in advance nor one
step in the rear will go until the dou
ma assemblies. All the energies of
the government are now consecrated
to the work of making possible the
corvocation of the representatives of
