ARE Congratulated
Members of the Republican
City Committee Did Their
Work Well.
ALL RULES ARE OBSERVED

Congratulations yere Sbswsred on
the members Of Republican city
committee today. for the succsssful
way the election was conducted. II
was characterized as the cleanest
election ever held in the city. and the
fairest and sQuarest to all candidates
concerned.
At none OF the voting precincts waa
there any trouble whatsoever. nj.
though. owing to the bitterness of the
campaign, 1t was believed by the pub.
lie. that trouble might occur In Ger
tain districts. No laws Of the commit.
tee were violated during the entire
day. One of the most pleasing fea-
lures Of the day was the fact that all
the poles closed at o'clock without
any disturbance over voting late ar.
rivals. The committee had ruled that
the polls be closed ut this hour wheth.
any one was In line or not. It dem
onstrated to the voters that II was
just rs easy to vote early n to vote
late.
The committee by ruling that NO
rigs could be used. except for the In.
dividual use of the candidates. saved
the candidates q large expense and II
is probable that this will be made z
permanent ruling, In the future.
