the contests for school inspectors. In
spite of the bitter opposition OF the
Martfndale machine, Frederic Cowley
looks a sure winner In the Sixth ward
and Eden Small will bury Walter
GIL In the Third. In the eighth pre-
cinct of the Third ward, the home
precinct OF both Small and Gill, the
indications are that the former Will
win about two to one.
In the eighth precinct OF the Sixth,
where Cowley and Charbonneau both
live, the former will receive large
majority Even Charbonneau admits
this. The machine will probably carry
the first four precincts, all below
Grand River-ave.. but the Cowley
people claim all north OF that thor
oughfare In the district north OF
Grand River, there are approximately
400 more men registered than In the.
first four precincts, and the chances
are that Cowley will carry every one
of the precincts from the fifth up.
Women for charbonneau.
There are about 700 women voters
registered in the ward. The majority
of these are in the lower precincts
and will support Charbonneau. The
women. however, did not turn out in
any, great number during the morning
hours, but we're more in evidence in
the afternoon.
In the eighth precinct, at $780, a
total of GO votes had been recorded
and all the booths we're filed In the
ninth Of the Fourth. where the voting
is usually slow, 80 votes were re-
ceived In the first hour. The seven.i
OF the Third had SO votes at o'clock,
but In these precincts, too, the actlv'
ity was greater later in the day.
The presence OF brace of detec-
tives In the third OF the Third led
to some speculation. One report was
that they had been detailed to the
precinct at the request OF one of the
judicial candidates just to keep an
eye on things.
There were but few workers in evi.
dence in the early hours.
Nichols Hustles for Machine.
In the seventh precinct OF the Seven
teenth ward, The Times found Princl-
pal Arthur Nichols, of the Lillibridge
school, who admitted unhesitatlngly,
even proudly, that he had put a sub.
stitute at the school for the day SO
that he might get out and hustle for
Albert Kunz I'm the Seventeenth and
Charbonneau In the Sixth While he
loudly sounded KunZ's praises, the
booths were full of voters who could
not help but hear him. The chairman
of the board was evidently a KunZ
man also for he took no eogniZanco
OF the law which excludes workers
from the booths.
At IL o'clock. 100 votes out of q
total OF l ,354 registered. had been cast
i'm this precinct Nichols was positive
that 50 of the l20 were for Kunz and
declared that KunZ would carry the
precinct by about Eve TO one. Nichols
was seen TO approach one old man
Just before the latter entered the
booth to vote and speak TO him.
When the voter met Nichols outside
later he said he had voted for Kunz
The contest between Kunz and Cur
It's G.. Began, the Municipal league
candidate. was rather close In the
fourth district OF the Seventeenth The
odds favor Kunz's election.
Scott Hunter, the antl-administra-
ton candidate in the Fifth ward. is
giving Caspar Snitgen q hard fight
FUu 10 ODobl' ut
tons are that Hunter will carry all
except the first. fifth and sixth pre-
cincts.
Eastern Time in Favor.
Sentiment seemed 20 favor the
adoption of Eastern standard time. IN
several precincts more daylight" talk
was heard. The majority of the voters
also seemed inclined to approve the
bill increasing the citys bonding limit
from TO per cent. The probabili-
ties are that IL will carry.
None of the voters seemed TO under
stond the real purport OF the proposed
constitutional amendment with refer
ence to the distribution of primary
school money and few had the pa
tience to read II through. The vote
on this will be small. for many OF the
voters ignored II entirely, leaving the
ballot In the booth.
