The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1910-11-08

strong Democratic majority would be returned from this district. Attorney HalIen. Democrafic candidate for Judge of Probate, appeared to be gain than he was losing from the work of Patrick Roland. the malcontent who failed of appointment as policeman.
 Seventh District.
 Here another Democratic majority was surely seen to be rolling up. Out Jf the total of 1406 voters ih the dis trict. 673 had registered their will at 12:4O o'clock, and the number had been increased to 693 at 1 o'clock, mot quite as large as usual, but as in other dis tricts, Democratic weather and Demo- and the defection plainly fell upon the Republicans.
 Eighth District.
 Total of voters, 1O26 At 12:45 about 512 of these had cast their votes and the total swelled to 793 shortly after 1 o'clock. The vote was pretty much the same as in former years and spoke we'll for the returning of a Democratic majority from the district.
 Ninth District.
 Out of 2,223 voters here, 1900 had voted at 1 o'clock. The total was be- hind that of former years. Later in the afternoon the vote was fully 35O behind that of former years, and it looked as though the normal Republi- can majority from this district was to be cut down to a very low figure or ut terly wiped away. Democratic work CTS were most enthusiastic. declaring that their party men were turning out in full force, whereas the Republicans were as scarce as white crows.
 Tenth District.
 The Democrats were very confident of carrying this district today, from the. indications at the noon hour. Ou of a total registration of 1,476 in the district, 896 had. voted at 1:30. This number represented a heavy prepou- derance of Democrats and as in the other districts of the city the Repub- licans were encountering the greatest difficulty in arousing any enthusiasm among the voters of their party. The vote at 2:10 was 970.
 Eleventh District.
 Democratic Chairman Cassidy was jubilant at 1:3O over the showing made by his district up to that time 691 votes having been cast out of q total of 1,085. The Democratic work CTS everywhere met with the mos' enthusiastic response from the party members while the Republicans were colder than the snow that was fall ing. Indications pointed to very heavy Democratic vote and very light Republican one, with the Social ists an unknown quantity.
 Twelfth District.
 In the first precinct of the Twelfth district 627 votes out of a total regis tration of 976 had been cast at 7 o'clock In the second precinct ol this district the total vote at o'clock was 865 out of 1886. Democratic workers in each precinct reported the most overwhelming signs of a party victory while the Republicans seemed discouraged and blue. It appeared that not only the weather kept the Republicans from turning out but dis gust with the nominees, particularly the poor showing of the G. O. P. In the first precinct at o'clock the Democratic ticket was leading the Republican by at least 80 votes.
 Every indication, with the exception of the unknown Socialist vote, point ed this afternoon to a great victory in Bridgeport for Baldwin. The only question hinges on the size of the Socialist vote The popularity of Hunter with the working people as- suming such large proportions as was shown by the immense crowds which flocked to hear him may have influ- enced a number of men ordinarily counted in one of the two big parties to cast their vote for him.
 At a late hour this afternoon the Democratic chairmen in the various districts knew that the voters of Dem- ocratic 1eanings had turned out prac- tically en-masse; the only question remaining was-did they all vote a straight ticket or did some of them favor the Socialist nominee? It was the guess of shrewd observers around the city this afternoon that Baldwin and Hunter shared the voting and a Goodwin majority in Bridgeport seem ed to be out of the question. Repub- lican workers everywhere admit that their party vote has not turned out and the Republican voters displayed the most strongly independent tenden- cies selecting either Baldwin or Hunt CT for the head of the ticket and ir hundreds of instances slicing the Re- publican nominees right down the
