OEbS VOTE

Mayor Moore today appeared
smiling and Joyous over the out
look of the election and said that
indications pointed to success for
the republicans all along the
line.
This is republican weather.
said the mayor, and you can look
for a rousing republican victory
everywhere. AS a man and an
American Mr., Bryan is most ad.
mirable citizen, but the people will
never have sufficient confidence In
him to elect him president"
Asked If it was not possible that
the labor support Of Bryan and
the vast army OF the unemployed
might possibly secure his election,
Mayor Moore said:
1.-THE bulk OF the dissatisfied and
unemployed labor vote in my
opinion, will go to Debs. would
not be greatly surprised If the so
cialists ypolled between 100000 and
1000, 900 votes.

Chief Rice Gets Mixed and
Allows an Hour
Overtime.

Police Chief Rice made mis-
take in his election orders this
morning. The poll hours are from
in the morning until at night.
The chiefs orders to. saloonmen
were that they should close only
between in the morning and Z at
night. Regarding this the chief
said this morning when his atten-
tion was drawn to the matter: Il
got my information from the city
clerk, but understand now that he
gave ME the hours in the country
precincts. Very little liquor was
sold this morning
However, | have rescinded my
order and the saloons will not be
allowed to open before s when the
polls close"
Deputy Prosecutor Pugh said
: "Offhand | would say that the
saloon hours must be the same as
the polling hours. However, l do
not think the election will be in
validated in the least .
Although it was possible this
morning for criminally inclined
persons to purchase whisky for
voters and lead them directly from
saloons to the polling places, II is
not believed this was done. In the
second ward several polling places
are located within few doors of
saloons.
Private attorneys consulted in
the matter do not consider that
the opening of saloons for an hour
this morning while voting was in
progress does not affect the valid
ity of the election.
1t is held that the saloonkeepers
are liable to prosecution, however,
II the city cares to prosecute.
