TUESDAYS election was the quietest
in the history of Martinsburg. Not
drunk or fight was there on the
streets to disturb the almost sunday
,calm-indeed many people in town
didn't know it was election dag at all.
Another feature of the election was
the remarkably light vote cast, TAX
ing the vote on the bond issue as
basfs for calculation, there w.re only
315 vote cast out OF total OF from
1000 to 2100 votes in the city or
little more than one-sixth Of the total
vote.
or course. there could be no doubt
AS to the result on school commits
sioners as botn parti.s had nominated
the same candidates.
But the new school bond Issue was
quite another thing. 1t was the
storm center, so to speak. If there
was any activity at all about the cleo
ton, it was among those who were
opposed to this measure devised as 1t
was for the betterment of the public
schools OF Martinsburg. But even
they went rather quietly about their
work, so that there was not very
much outspoken opposition to the
bond issue after all.
II Is noteworthy fact that the
bond issue carried in every precinct
out of the ten, save alone in the 7th,
(5th ward) where 1t lost in vote OF
z to and where also. the lightest
vote In the city was Cast
AS might have been expected, the
third ward showed up handsomely on
the bond question-in fact, 1t is the
banner ward in town In this regard
The second and third precincts are in
this ward and what the voters down
there did was a plenty. the vote stand
ing ~ for and 70 against. In the third
precinct only one vote was cast
against the<bond issue. 1t may be
stated here that the proposed new
school building is to be erected in
this ward.
AS noted in another column in this
paper, the bond issue carried by a
vote Of 221 to "a, giving clear ma
jorfty of 80 over three-fifths OF the
total vote. as required by law.
This result must be very gratifying

Notes.

So far as the weather was concern
ed. it was pretty nearly an ideal day
for election.
1t will be noticed Mr. Whetzel re-
ceived the highest vote for school
commissioner. namely 500.
Many people here last night mani
tested far deeper interest in the
general election in Maryland than
they did in the municipal in Martins
burg. Perhaps they thought there
was more at stake.
The heaviest vote was polled in the
second ward, the total being los for
Mr. Whetzel and only a couple less
for the other two school commissions
ers.
The bond issue had a close call in
the fifth ward. the proposition carry
ing there by the narrow margin Of
one vote.

word for death. But 1t began as a gen.

seeming much less harsh to the Ro.

desire to soften the idea. Passed
