The glorious orb of day speedily
dispelled the clinging mists and re-
vealed the populace already gather
ed in the forum, excitedly debating
the vital issues of the day, and spec
ulating on why the saloons were
closed at eight o'clock when voting
was not to commence till eleven.
That's the fault of the city at
torney," said Mayor Scheble, ''he got
off wrong on it. After he advised 1t
of course the police had no choice,
so they went around and nailed up
the gin mills
Thus it came to pass that for three
unnecessary hours the fountains of
| joyous oil were closed to a thirsty
world, and many went to the polls
comparatively sober who might
otherwise have been in a happier
mood.
| Incidents of the Day.
The voting began at eleven, but
for an hour Or more before that time
numerous factional knots Of anna
teur and professional politicians loi-
tered about the sunny street corners
and settled the questions at stake,
to their own satisfaction at least.
Interest centred in the mayoralty
candidates., one or the other of
whom could occasionally be discern
ed on the horizon, in tow of or being
passively towed by an adherent.
Mayor Scheble was particularly
active; in fact, the present mayor
has allowed no alfalfa to sprout be-
meath his pedal extremities for some
time past.
A closed cab, the only living speci-
men of it's kind in captivity in We
natchee, was driven around by Gel
latly admirers, collecting supporters
of his candidacy. Flambuoyant
streamers decorated either side of
the cab, bearing the following NOR
sells of good advice:
"The People Want Gellatly."
and
Boost Wenatchee by Voting for
| Gellatly."
| OF the SIS voters who are regis
tered it is probable that not more
than four-fifths of that number will
show up today and vote.
| Yet the impression seems to pre-
vail that as between the two repub-
iican candidates, Gellatly and Sche-
BILE, that the former is to poll the
strongest vote.
If, for example, 500 votes in all
aio cast, probably so or 60 of these
WI, go to Fuller, the candidate of
the Peoples party, and the remain
ing 440 or $50 will be divided be-
tween Gellatly. and Scheble, in the
ratio of ESQ to 200. This is how
the wise ones figure it out, but as
, it is sometimes the unexpected which
happens the results may be mate
rally different AS the Daily World
goes to press at $3.50 it will not be
possible to publish in advance any
accurate prophesies as to how it's
going-tomorrow, this time, every
one will know.
How Fuller Feels.
| o. B. Fuller, candidate for mayor
on the Peoples ticket, said this
morning when seen by representa-
| tive of the Daily World: "Of course,
/ we are in this fight to win, and if
the majority of the people want us
we will win. Personally, feel like
this about it: In business way, |
should be much better off if entirely
out of public Office, and for this rea-
son l shall be a decidedly cheerful
loser if the election goes against u.s..
I am leaving it entirely to the peo-
Pile; I shall not and have not en-
deavored any electioneering, have
given away no cigars and shaken no

Gellatly's chances are more favora-

Fuller to Leave Council.
II shall hand in my resignation
tonight, continued Mr.. Fuller, "as
