DEMOCRATIC VOTE FOR ,rHgs|
eovERNoR-6RADLEY Is The
CHOICE OF REPUBLICANS. 81

Bradley is leading In the strona-
" Republican precincts Of the a
city; Warner In the Democratic
precincts.
That Is the general conclusion
as result Of canvass OF q large
number Of the city precincts made
by The Times Tuesday morning.
There are fewer workers at the
booths than usual at caucuses and
primaries.
The vote will apparently be II
smaller than was anticipated and
may not reach an average Of 100
Republican votes to the precinct.
A peculiar fact Is that the silk
stocking" precincts are casting a
big vote az the others. A
A misunderstanding Of the law
by precinct boards caused many
disputes. The city clerk and cor.
poratlon counsel were frequently
called upon for opinions.
Warner men who were chair.
men Of precinct boards refused 70
recognize chaIIenoers and witness
cards which were Issued by the
city committee to Bradley men.
State officeholders are most conspics
uous in the primaries which are be-
ing held throughout Michigan today
This is particularly true In Detroit
where the Warner hustlers, for the
most part. are men who are enjoying
Jobs under the governor and who are
for him while drawing pay
from the state.
The edict to the jobholders Is said
to have gone out Saturday in strong
language from the Warner camp, the
OF losing their fat berths
standing out before them as they
chase frantically up and down the
wards for tbird-term votes.
In the first precinct Of the Eleventh
ward, Theodore Dompier was appoints
ed Bradley witness, but he was or
dered out OF the booth when he re-

Dompier refused to leave the booth,
OKeefe called policeman
to have him put out, After a lengthy
argument Dompier stepped out of the
booth, but secured a chair and took
a position at the door, from whare be
challenged several Warner votes.
