POLLING HEAVY
VOTE TODAY

Indications point to probably the
heaviest vote in the history of the
city today. Precincts of the Third
ward, as an instance, which or
dinarily run from 10 to Is, had
voted from 20 to so votes up to
noon.
This heavy balloting is in
terpreted as favorable by both
sides. Each sees in 1t a sign that
citizens not accustomed to voting
except on extraordinary occasions
are taking an active interest this
time and this is the vote that will
decide the issue, whichever way 1t
goes. Those most interested look
for close result.
1t looks today as II Pratt work.
ers were devoting their efforts to
cut into the Second ward vote for
their candidate. leaving the other
wards largely to take care Of them
selves. They seem to want these
votes even though the Second has
been designated as dirty"
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1909-05-04
"CROOKED VOTE" SCARE
FALLS FLAT AS USUAL

The wholesale challenging pre-
dicted by the Pratt forces in the
lower end of the Second ward did
not develop today as predicted. At
noon but few challenges had been
entered and most of the voters chal-
lenged were sworn in and voted
There was no excitement or dis
order, and everything was moving
as smoothly as committee meet
ing of Sunday school association
In Burke precinct seven voters
had been challenged at noon and
four of these had been sworn In and
voted. Five challenges had been en-
tered in Barth precinct and none in
Butler.
Young attorneys were used by
both sides in the Second ward to be
in readiness to protect their respec-
tive interests in case any legal
tangles ensued. The lawyers did
not have a very active practice in
the morning hours. A series of ques-
tons was fired at every voted sus-
pected of having intentions Of vot-
ing Tor ONO.

BETS

If one were to take the betting
boards for criterion the result of
todays election has been won and
lost number of times. The bet
ting has been slow and in moderate
SUMS Few bets have been accept
ed above 800, the range being
from 800 to $40. Pratt money at
even bets seemed to be the most
plentiful last night and this morn
ing, but whenever the Pratt offers
became too numerous bunch of
ONO coin came along and wiped off
the excess.
John Heutter the contractor who
has had a good deal of trouble
through the employment of foreign
labor on the Sprague avenue fill
furnished the bulk of the big Pratt
money this morning.
Harry Green, of the Club cafe
was another hacker of Pratt. II is
said that a Occur d'Alene man who
had been reading the Spokesman
Review sent down $4,000 last
night to be placed on Pratt at even
money. He figured that Pratt had
walk-away.
The betting men seem to view
the outcome of the election very
conseryatively. With them the re-
suit seems to be involved in con-
siderable doubt.

SAY AMENDMENTS ARE AT
DISADVANTAGE ONBALLOT

Some objection was heard today
to the manner in which charter
amendments II and 70 are stated
on the ocial ballot. Amendment
II, adopted by the charter commits
sion, is the original amendment
giving the mayor full power to
hire and fire" his board of works
and chief of police and likewise
making the city engineer men,
Der of the board of public works.
Amendment 70 confers more
power on the mayor in way but
does not provide for the engineer
on the board of works.
The two amendments are stated
on the official ballot in way to
make II appear at disadvantage
by making prominent the feature
placing the engineer on the board

of works, according to members of
the charter revision commission to-
day. The Official ballot gives to ~
the title of being the one intended
to onfer more power on the mayor,
whereas it does so only grudging-
ly, as Il is the original amend
ment for this purpose. The state.
ment of the two amendments was
done with the purpose of discredit-
ing II and boosting ~. the amend
ment put forward by the little ring
in the city council, 1t is argued.
The defeat of amendment II will
mean the immediate launching of a
campaign for the Des Moines plan
of government, it is stated, which
might not be bad at all as the re-
vision plan put forward is merely a
clumsy compromise on the commits
sion plan.
