Worst Possible weather.
A worse day for an election would
not have been imagined. At no other
primary day in the memory of the
oldest voter had weather beon 30

tion dav in 1896 when william Jen-
nings Bryan made his first race for

It vividly were not willing to say that
the day was as bad as YESTERDAY.

lily.
At each of the eight polling places
Of the city the campaign workers for
the various candidates stood huddled
within the shelter or sought comfort
nearby. When each voter approached,
tho worker would dart out and a hand
full of cards would be pressed upon
him. AS soon as he stepped in the
booth. the workers would withdraw
and await the coming Of the next
voter.
Big Vote Despite Rata.
The big vote in the face of such
conditions was naturally surprise.
But the mavoraltv candidates and the
candidates for ward aldermen exerted
every effort to bring out the full vote.
workers stood about the books con-
tanning the typewriter list Of each
voter in the ward AS a man came
out his name was checked off.
Towards the close of the afternoon
the workers got busy. There were
many unchecked names of voters,
some for this aspirant and some for
that. Each candidate knew who his
friend was and he started Industrious
ly TO get his friends to the poll.
It was discovered early in the morn
ing that the Tyson people had stolen a
march on the Gunter folks The Ty-
son people, 1t was said. had engaged
every public hack in the city. These
hacks were engaged. It was stated twa
weeks ago At any rate. when the
Gunter people tried 70 secure some
hacks, FOR the day they discovered
to their CONSERVATION that the Tyson
people had heen ahead OF Thorn and
that the bet they could do was ia
lire a few independent hacks. They
wore both satisfied with this. how
ever. They engaged some automobiles
and the friends of Mr.. Gunter supplied
him with buggies. The Tyson hacks
meanwhile were running here and there
and bringing to the polls the voters
who were supposed to be friends OF
Mr.. Tyson. Discovering the move OF
the Tyson men the GunteF folks were
determined not to be outdone. All the
automobiles and all the buggies thai
could be secured were rut into active
service and Gunter votsrs were brought
20 the polls as rapidly as possible.
AS a result of this unusual compeu
tion the only men that did not cast
their votes were the sick who were
afraid to venture out in such bad
weather, although a CONVEYANCE was
1t their doors. To this competition Is
attributed the large vote OF yesterday.

that a more quiet. peaceful election

was decided that any man who had q

There was some confusion due to
the fact that $50 voters had been reg
