This Ia a positive fact. but whether this
fact was the cause Of changing the polling

Ali OF them are candidates for the mayor

ocratic ticket and the third on the repub-
lican ticket. Heretofore they have cast
their ballots in an improvised booth In g
barber shop on Park avenue, a few doors
north OF Mr.. Breen's home and on a LOT
which at the rear joins the residence LOT
of Mayor Dahlman. Today the polling
place is in a barn in the rear OF 152;
Georgia avenue, 0as block west of Colone
~Berryman's home.
Colonel Bergman was the first mar tc
| vote in the Second precinct of the Seventh
ward, the battle-ground OF the present sam
paign. He announced with great glee thai
he voted for Ed. p. Bergman for the
| democratic nomination for mayor. His
vote was cast at 1910. Fifty minutes Later
4 HiEzoner dropped his ballot in the box
and told the judges and clerks and a few
others standing aroundi
"rhls is the. kind of a fellow l am: ]

vote for someone else myself"
Mr.. Breen voted later in the afternoon.
One of the judges in this precinct is
Frank Planck, employed by the city as a
bookkeeper in the office of the city comp
troller. Democratic political ethics did moi
deter him from accepting an appointment

BIDS TO FINISH BRANDEIS
THEATER EXCAVATION ASKED
Proposals VIII soon he Called For
and Work Resumed with
ViaOr.

Architect John Lstenser is preparing to
call for bids for completing the excava-
ton for the Brandeis theater and office
building TO be erected at Seventeenth and
Douglas streets. The work will begin
within a short time. Letting of building
contracts will follow.
A large part OF the excavation has been
completed for the office building, but the
excavation for the theater could not be
done until plans for the building were
completed. The theater part of the build
ing will require a deeper excavation than
the office building and Mr.. Latenser has
been working with some architects who
make a speciality Of theater designing.
These plans ave been completed now and
the excavation work can proceed.
Emil Brandeis, who has active charge of
the building operations, is in Egypt. He
will return the last of April and work on
the building will be pushed as rapidly as
possible.
