CACHE PRECINCT.

There has been some speculative
comment on the vote cast in Cache
precinct at the recent primary cleo
ton, where Sheriff Nelis and Mr..
Twente received such enormous ma
jorities. What is regarded as signiti
cant is that the vote cast there at
the primary election was very nearly
as large as that cast at the presiden-
tial election OF 1908. In that year
President Taft and all the state Off.
eers received 233 votes In Cache pre-
|cinct, which presumably was the full
strength of the party.
At that time the school census gave
Cache precinct population of 900
Since then there has been great
reduction in the population OF the
precinct There has been a reduc-
ton of one fourth in the school at.
tendance, so that one room in the
public school there is closed; and toe
latest school census shows only GOO
population, or reduction OF one
third.
This reduction is quite in the ma
tural order of things, in view of the
reduction Of the force at the chi,
cago Mill and other plants in the
northern part of the city; and there
was reason TO expect a material re
duction in the voting strength OF
the precinct. And yet 1t appears
from the records that such was no,
the case. There were polled at the
primary election for the candidate
for sheriff 223 votes of which Mr.
Neliis received 204 and Mr.. Roach 10
and there were polled for the candi
dates for school superintendent POI
votes, of which Mr. Twente received
lS6 and Prof. Colt L. In other
words, while the school enrolment
is one-fourth less and the population
is one-third less than 1t was in 1908,
the vote was practically the same.
To account for this some people
assert that a considerable number OF
floating negro voters who could not
make good on registration day were
steered to Cache precinct where they
did not need to make good, but
could be sworn in by some accom-.
modatlng FRIEND" and the opinion
IS expressed that like program win
be followed at the coming election
with respect to all negro voters in
the city who can not get on the
books to qualify for voting here.
