various precincts.

| The heaviest vote was being cast in
| the first and second precincts. The
| second precinct is in Holiday territory
| but quite number of Green voters
here was 81. The election board was
composed of two Green men and three
for Holiday; the first precinct showed
ma jority of members for Green. The
third and fourth precincts had election
boards composed by Green supporters.
The First ward showed that Holli-
day secured the election boards in the
first and second precincts. Green had
the fourth precinct and a compromise
was effected with reference to the
third.
The vote is not coming in fast in
these precincts with the exception of
the second.
Snyder Is Satisfied.
"I am entirely satisfied with the way
things look so far said Frank Snyder
manager for Green. I'VE are getting
our vote as good as can be expected
though the weather is hampering US
in getting the women to the polls. We
have heavy woman registration and
if we can induce them to go out we
will win. We have the promise of II
rigs and automobiles. but some of
these have failed to show up. We
haven't as much money to spend as
the opposition and for that reason we
depend upon private people for car
riages.''

Joseph Griley, manager for Holiday.
Everything has come out as we pre-
dicted it would. Holiday will carry
the Second ward by 1900"
Holiday has about 40 livery rigs
engaged in addition to a number be-
longing to others. The campaign is
costing close to $4,000 for Holiday,
and his men claim he is putting up
every cent of it himself
The mayoralty fight has swallowed
every other interest. A very hot fight
is on over the nomination of a MEM
ber of school board from the Second
between George Smith and w. H
present incumbent. The hght
is apparently going against Wilson.
Women Vote in Third.
In the Second precinct of the Third
at 2 o'clock over so per cent of a vote
IF 25S were women votes with a heavy
for Green. Every precinct in
he Third ward has been organized for
Green and the outlook is that Green
will have a heavier majority in his |
own ward than Holiday has in his.
The Fifth ward shows one precinct |
organized for Green, a close fight of |
y to So on the second and a loss of |
he third by As to 81 to Holiday. The |
First and Second precincts will go for |
Green. The Third has never been |
counted upon.
The First precinct IS solid for Green |
n the Sixth ward. while the Second !
precinct in the same ward. Swendson's
lome precinct, was organized by his
riends.
There was no disorder attending any
# the organization of precinct cleo
ion boards and the day passed off
luietly.
The fight between Charles Spencer
md F. G.. Drenning for city attorney
s aside from councilmen contests. the
most interesting. Both claim the vic
ory. and the result>is in doubt.
Fred NipDs, councilman from the
Third ward, will undoubtedly be re-
nominated over H. B. Howard. How
rd has some support among the
oung people.
c. W. Horn, councilman in the
Fourth ward, is having fight on his
lands with c. B. Hypes. The First
yard fight still shows well for the
omination of w. NJ. Van Ness for
member of the city council. No con-
ests exist in the Second or Fifth
Yards.
In the Sixth ward D. F. Stanley and
=. F. McClatchey are making ar in
fight for council with the
ormer in the lead. T. NJ Euwer is
third candidate.
The polls do not close until this
vening.
