lranted is DelnB manifested IN the
Democratic primary in Paducah to-
day. The polls opened at O'Clock
and no delays were occasioned, all
election officers being on hand Bal
loting started out fast. Buggies and
automobiles are being Noverworked
carrying voters to the polls. Many
tickets" have been printed, instruct
ling voters "who is who" The mu-
|nicipal ownership ticket is one and
Ia late ticket is gotten out by the sa-
loon element known as the open
ticket. meaning candidates are for
an open town.
Yesterday the cnmax was reached,
and last night many persons were on
the street until late hour discuss
ing politics. At the Illinois Central
shops yesterday candidates entered
into spirited debate, and speeches
were made by outsiders not running
for Office. No trouble was reported,
but as a precaution policemen were
stationed in many portions of the
city on special duty to prevent any
trouble that might brew.
Saloons are all closed.
The total Democratic registration
in the city is 9 100 in round num-
hers.
The party is voting for candidates
for mayor, city attorney, city treas
urer. city clerk. city engineer, tax
assessor. city jailer. five aldermen,
seven councilmen and eight school
trustees.
AT noon over half the vote was
polled. There was much challeng-
ing, but no disorder. All three of
the candidates for mayor we're claim
ing the victory. Col. Potter had no
organization out. but both Davis
and Harrison workers were busy all
the time.

Vehicles Are Busy.
The election today has been
somewhat akin to the election days
of yore. The candidates buggles. with
an energetic. eloquent silver tongued
worker in each vehicle, were feat
ure of elections many years ago, or
until their use was prohibited by
law. Today, however. the streets
have been thronged with them, and
every available horse and rig of any
description has been pressed into
service. In former days the vehicles
had great cards attached to the side
indicating in whose interest they
we're being used. but. these tell-tale
features are lacking today. There is
no dlsputing the fact that they serve
to get out the voters. and are appre-
ciated by them.

and unable to register At II o'clock
a total of SO certificates had been is
sued by County Clerk Hiram smed-
Hey.
