Election day in Grand Junction
dawned clear and crisp, following
light and refreshing snow that fell
during the night. The snow was
gone by am Occasionally clouds
would obscure the sun; but, for the
most part, the day has been fine from
a weather standpoint. 1t has been
cool and there has been quite brisk
wind.
1t was soon apparent that the peo-
ple OF Grand junction would be astir
very early in the day that was to
bring forth the result of the bitterest
and most exciting municipal cam
paign this city has witnessed in
many years. The polls We're to open
at am, but at each of the polling
places some moments before that
hour many voters were gathered.
anxious to register their choice early
in the day. There was nothing un-
usual about the opening of any OF
the polls. All the judges were on
hand and each party had its author
lied workers or challengers present.
1t was made plain early in the day
that the regulation providing that
there should be no lettering by men
or women who had voted or did not
intend to vote, within the 1O0-foot
limit of each polling place, would be
rigidly enforced. There was police
officer to enforce this regulation at
each voting place.
II was apparent that the early
hours would witness the recording
of an extremely heavy vote.
All day long automobiles, car
riages, buggies and other vehicles
have been racing up and down the
streets. carrying the men and women
~. ..I, ,,ar ~ had
big array of autos and carriages,
all manned by enthusiastic workers.
1t is safe to say that but few people
in the city entitled to a vote have
not had every opportunity of getting
to the polls and registering that vote.
The carriages and autos have been
decorated with banners and legends
of various description.
The big parade at o'clock by the
anti-saloon people was the greatest
demonstration of the day.
Later in the forenoon the Grand
junction band moved along the street
riding in a big wagon and dispensing
fine music. The banners on the wag-
on urged the people to vote for the
Citizens & Taxpayers League ticket.
Music by the Indian band and sew
eral other features of a more or less
demonstrative nature occurred at in
tervals during the day
Many of the anti-saloon people
who were anxiously and eagerly
looking for trouble at some of the
polling places were sorely disap-
pointed. It was apparent early in
the day that the election would be
a lively one, but would be conducted
in fair manner and would be char
acterized by but few startling feat
ures.
