Gently that made the most awful
slaughter of prices" and the biggest
fire sale ever engineered, look like
plain highway robbery.
Morris found business dull and to
sharpen 1t he marked down things so
low that it was "a shame to take them
away at prices asked. From this en-
terprlsing merchant you could buy a
suit just like Reggie Vanderbilt wears
for S3.9S-'uster' to sell for $500. hon
est" or, a green necktie, like Rookie
Teller wears when he plays golf" for
nine cents.
And still the gilded youth north of
the Harlem river passed by upon the
other side, and the clothing dummies in
front of the store slept peacefully.
"Oh, very WELL" said Mr.. Jacobson,
eff can't sell 'em I'll give 'em away"
and with this he pulled in the first man
who came along and presented him
with pair of check trousers
Cost me $2.67 a leg, that's what they

his eyes, but take 'em away. son, take
'em away, and tell every one where you

To make long story short, inside of
two minutes, there was a crowd of

PRIMARY COUNT
WILL EE SLOW
DOUBTFUL " EVEN CITY PRE-
cINCTS WILL BE IN BEFORE
TWELVE HOURS.

Deputy Prosecuting Attorney John
H. Mcdonald, in reply to an inquiry,
has received from the attorney gen.
eral an opinion that only one ballot box
is required in each precinct Tor the
primary election and the ballots of re-
publicans and democrats alike will be
|. poked through the same slit. The ball
lots are to be placed in the same box.
as provided by Section 10 of the pri-
mary law, which says that as soon as
the polls are closed the judges and in
spectors shall Immediately open the
boxes and bunch the tickets cast for
each party in separate piles, and shall
then fasten each pile together
AS soon as the tickets have been
separated, the count is to be made, the
ballots for each party 60 be counted
separately, and the record kept on the
tally sheet provided by the county
auditor The tally sheets shall be so
kept that they will show the number
of votes received, and shall also show
the number of first and second choice
votes received and the total number
of votes received by each candidate.
Counting Will Be Slow.
In view of the fact that there are
81 names on the republican ballot, and
about half as many on the democratic
ballot, it is expected that the returns
will be extremely slow in coming in.
The polls will close at o'clock next
Tuesday night, and a conservative es-
innate is to the effect that the count
ing will not be completed before OF
8 o'clock next morning
The necessity for a count of the sec
ond choice votes will aid materially in
making the counting of the ballots a
tedious and long drawn-ou piece of
work.
In more ways than one is the pri-
mary election a ponderous affair, as
Arthur Jones, clerk of the board Of
county commissioners, can testify. He
has been busy for the past week get
ing the necessary articles for the cleo
ton, and has found that the new pri-
mary election is no snap.
In addition to preparing the boxes.
labelling, tagging and sending them out,
he has had to prepare all the instruc-
tions, stationery and other necessities
for the polling, all of which had to be
segregated into different piles for each
precinct. Among other things, each
precinct will get a poll box. poll books,
a plat OF the precinct, general election
laws, primary election laws, election
vouchers, notices to those not voting,
instructions to voters and duplicate
samples of these, stationery, ballots
and sample ballots and envelopes for
the return of rejected ballots, unof-
fetal returns, election returns, primary
election returns. election vouchers,
democratic ballots and republican bal
lots.
