vote was out in the city, I'm the town
ships and in the villages. Voters
passed by the polls but refused to go
i'm and cast their ballots. Many de-
clared openly that they would not

INSERT
Election officials report that many
ballots We're thrown out. Some had
crosses at the top, the electors in
tending to vote straight tickets but
such was impossible. Others soiled
their ballots by writing humorous
comment above the names of candi-
dates and many ballots were marked
only for one, two or three candidates.
Much surprise was expressed over
| the vote received by Senator Char
les Dick, who received about two
third of the vote polled by the Re-
publican party in the county. One
Republican in Fourth ward A voted
for Jim Allen for United States
| Senator.

! they believe the primary will even
tually become very popular with the
people here. They say that it is the
fairest way TO nominate candidates
and that when once the electors be-
come accustomed to the primary they
will turn out far better. 1t Is

they have nominated a strong ticke
and are confident of success thii
fall. There is n general trend to-
ward things. Democratic and ths
leaders look for a glorious victor,
at election time. Defeated candi
dates have some consolation--the.

whom they ran. There are no sor,

elect the winners.
