The Dubuque Times-Journal sug-
gests a rule to find out whether the
census, on the one hand, is complete,
or, on the other hand has been stuff
ed It is simply to multiply the Nun
Der Of voters by five. If the result is
considerably above the population re-
ported the census is incomplete; if
considerably below, the census has
been stuffed The I'll. adds.
Taking as basis the vote in 1908
and the ratio Of gain in the number
OF votes from 1900 to 1908. we find
that a city should have in 1910 q Ger
tam number Of voters and popula
.lon five times in excess Of that nun
Der # it reports in 1910 popula
llon SIX times greater than its vote
unless its growth meanwhile has beer
abnormal.

cinct will probably be the courthouse

precinct will probably be the city hall,
but as both places are in the First
ward it will be necessary that polling
places be established in both the
Second and Third wards and another
set of election officers appointed for
them.
The energetic candidate will no
doubt be present with his carriage or
his automobile, and as soon as the
voter casts a ballot at the general
election he will be wheeled away to
cast his ballot in the Second or Third
ward should he live outside of the
First ward.
Never in the history of the city has
the voter been given the privilege of
voting on so many different matters
on the same day, and the election Of
ficers should be we'll informed as to
the conditions and advise the voters

This matter will, no doubt, be

thing will have so emtraveling to do

That Date May Be Declared
General Holiday for
Triplicate Election.

November Sth will have to be de-
clared a holiday in Wenatchee to give
the voters an opportunity to enjoy the
privilege of his franchise to its fullest
extent, as elections on that day will
be numerous and somewhat compli-
Gated.
That date being the date of the
general election, the various county
officers and members of congress will
be elected. At the same time the city
primary election and the local option
election will be held.
The difficulty arises in the fact
that in SO far as the general election
is concerned only two precincts are
recognized, Columbia and Wenatchee.
At the same time the local option
election and the city primary cleo
ton are purely city matters, and the
city is divided into wards for the pur-
pose of voting and for the purpose of
electing councilmen to represent the
different wards.

hibit at Spokane Banquet at Elman-Now in Session

The banquet room of the Elma1|
cafe was filled this noon with emis1
saries from the Spokane Apple Show
and Wenatchee citizens who werd
present to give them greeting. Tho
Spokane men were: E. F. c. Van
Dissell, P. D. Tull. w. N. Day, r. HI
Rice, F. E. Goodall and L. Mclean.
The local men present were as fol

Gellatly, F.. c. Lemon, Mike HoranI
c. E. Owens, D. L. Pratt, w. RI

Farwell.
The party were seated at about
1880 and at the close of the lunch-|
con they adjourned to the Commercial
club rooms, where a discussion of the
relations of Wenatchee and the Ap1
pie Show were to be discussed.
Among the decorations of the ban1
quet tables Wenatchee apples were
prominent. Last years fruit was the
only kind selected. DR.. Blake picked
up one of the apples and handed it to-
Mr. Goodall with the explanation that
it was a perfect specimen of the Del
licious variety. Ira d. Edwards
begged to differ with the doctor,
claiming that it was Winesap.
President Holcomb of the Wenatchee
Fruit Growers association sided in
with DR.. Blake, and soon the whole
table was involved in the discussion
over whether the apple was a Wine
sap or a Delicious. Finally W. T.
Clark picked up the apple, handed it
to Mike Koran, and appealed to him
to decide the question, whereupon the
apple king said Its a Spitzenberg. :"
This statement was greeted with
much laughter. Finally it was sug-
gested to cut the apple open, and
after dividing it into many samples
the vote was the apple was a typical
specimen of the Winesaps which We
natchee claims is the greatest apple
that grows.
The party were taken through the
valley this morning by the Ira D. Ed
wards and w. T. Clark automobiles,
and the men expressed themselves
that never before had they seen such
heavily laden fruit trees.
The discussion will probably be
prolonged all afternoon, but from in
both sides yielding some points.
