There Were IA Spoiled Ballots, 10 Of Which Were
For the "Dys" The Vote in Full---1o Make
it Hot For "Blind Tigers"


xade today among the temperance
forces over the result of the election
held yesterday.
As result of that election. the
saloons in the little Peach city up
the valley must quit business on Fri
day, April 10. and Palisade will be-
come a dry town
The saloons of Palisade are fitted
with handsome fixtures and are mod
srz in their appointments, and the
SSloonists will lost quite heavily
from a material standpoint as a re-
suIt of the election.
The result of the election is no
surprise TO a great many people who
have closely watched the campaign.
The vote polled was the heaviest
for any eelction. The vote was as
Follows:
The Winning Ticket.
The peoples ticket
r. M. Echternack, mayor. 80. .143
J. q. Best, trustee years. -. 139
q. M. Hand. trustee 2 years. :. 139

p Bower, trustee 2 years. 49,. .101
M- G. Creighton, trustee 2 years. 1O1
yohn ]. jenkins, trustee Q years. 100
1ohn Wilson, trustee 1 year. 81
Mayor-elect Echternacks majority
IS AZ. which is, indeed healthy
majority in proportion to the vote
r25t.
There were IA spoiled ballots, 10
1S which, had they been legal. would
hnve been for the dry ticket and A
would have been for the wet ticket.
The fact that the temperance or
anti-saloon people were not allowed
s0 put their ticket on the ballot, ow-
ing to failure to comply with all
nf the details of the election lay
while a great disadvantage, had but
little effect on the result In fact.
some Palisade people declare that
when the temperance ticket was
raied off the ballot merely because
of technical error. the action
caused many people to resolve to
vote the anti-saloon ticket who
would otherwise have voted the tick
al that stood for licensed saloons.
Those people who desired to vote
the ant-saloon ticket were instruct
ed by workers for the anti-saloon
ticket just how to mark out the
names of the candidates on the 9TH
or ticket, the only ticket printed on
the ballot, and to write in the names
OF the men on the anti-saloon ticket.
The instructions proved successful
AND the only printed ticket on the
ballot. the wet ticket, went down to
defeat.
The 10 spoiled ballots that were
glst by voters desiring TO vote the
anti-saloon ticket, We're illegal be-
cause the voters of those ballots,
while writing in the names of the
snti-saloon candidates, had failed to
scratch out the names of the wet
SScket candidates.
The temperance people held big
SOilification meeting last night at
FaRisade.
The men elected to Office in Pali-
xaGe are well known residents OF
that section of the valley and will
probably make most satisfactory Of
6ciaIs.
The reform element of Palisade is
~Aetermined that Palisade shall be
free from blind tigers and blind pigs
during the reign of prohibition there.
II is said a big fund will be raised
eD prosecute any person or persons
selected in selling liquor Illegally in
Pzlisade.
