Notes On Election.
The weather has been ideal for an
election.
Every Judge and clerk reported on
time at the polling places this morn
ing.
A lady is one of the officials at
nearly every voting place in the city
today. .
At very few times during the day
were there large crowds at any of
the polling places.
The voting was pretty slow in near
ly every ward during the early fore
noon hours. The heaviest vote was
polled between IL and 5 o'clock.
Nothing like the excitement that
prevailed on election day last April
has prevailed today. Todays cleo
tion has been a mild affair from this
standpoint compared with the April
election. There have been few quar-
rels.
The. "honk honk' of a dozen or
more autos that has characterized
every election in the city for years
and the racing of score or more of
carriages up and down the streets,
were not in evidence today to any
appreciable extent
Many people predict that the total
vote in today's election will not be
within 1900 of the total vote of the
April election. Less than 500 votes
had been polled in all wards up to the
noon hour. Not to exceed 1000 or
100 votes are likely to be polled be-
tween noon and seven O'Clock this
evening.
At nearly every voting place this
morning people were heard complain
Ing about the lack of regulation
sample ballots. 1t seems that the
church leaders have been well sup
piled but few sample ballots were to
be found at any of the polling places.

Stirring Base Ball Career

Henry Clay Pulliam was a native OF

1869. He was city editor OF the Louis

that time was president of the Louisville
base ball club. This acquaintance ripened
into warm friendship and later Pulliam
was made secretary of the Louisville base
ball club by Dreyfuss. Subsequently he
was elected to the assembly in 1897, in

Both official and frontier reports leave
little doubt that the workmen's organiZa-

made common cause in Old Catalonia and
that thus far they have had the best of
the situation. The withdrawal of troops
