| Tomorrow is election day-and the
election will be held under the new
election laws recently ground out by
the state legislature. This is the rul-
i ing of City Attorney Dreaming in spite
of the fact that all preparations had
been made for the election under the
old law.
There are two changes in the new
law which will make a noticeable effect
upon the public and the election clerks
| and judges. The first and most i'm
portant is that the polls will open at
| 6 o'clock in the morning and close at
| Z o'clock in the evening. The new law
gives the voters one hour more. This
! is a great convenience to the voter
who is not able to vote before he goes
| to work in the morning or during his
lunch hour. 1t gives a man a chance
| to leave work and vote before dinner
! in the evening. Election Commission
| er Captain C. N. Titus was very anxi
Gus that this get before the eyes of
| the public.
| The other important clause in the
new law does not make much differ
ence with the public at large but it
| does effect the judges and the clerks.
| Instead of the customary two dollars
| day they are now due to receive three
| dollars per day. This is a very good
who has to work half the night on the
returns.
| The polling places have been used in
the legal columns of the State journal
for some time and they will be used
tonight. A glance is this department
of the paper will settle this point. Now
all there is to do is to vote.
Everything points toward a very
peaceful election. The Democrats have
been able to place their convention

those who know it is said that the re-
suit of the primary will stand good.
]. J. Lannan, who is running for coun-
Gilman in the Second ward against
Republican, G. V. Adamson, expects 10
win out-and he is expected to. Mr..
Lannan has been one of the strongest
men in the city council for the last
two years and even the Republicans
will concede his rights.
Endorse Mayor Green.
The Ministerial Union in it's meeting
this morning instructed its committee
on public morals (Charles M. Sheldon,
F. L. Hayes and c. B. Zook) to call
the attention of voters to the election
tomorrow and urge them to go to the
ipolls The union has endorsed Mayor
Green's administration because it has
stood for law and order and good bust
ness management. 1t is the duty OF
the citizens to support this kind of an
administration. Don't stay at home
because lne eieCtlOh ili@y seem -

Tim Donovan for marshal of the city
court is putting up great hght
against the man reelected at the pri-
maries, Captain ]. I. Wlntrode. Inn
Donovan had the hard luck to be in
the primary race when there were four
others running and he declares that
his votes were split-but he intends to
get all of them now. Captain Win
trode has been marshal of the court
for a number of years and his Repub-
