These are the precincts where
there is any material strength in
the saloon vote. Fawcett carried
a few of them where, the labor
ing element was strong enough to
overbalance the straight saloon
contingent, but Seymour carried
most of them and the dive district
he had easily.
Barth caught a large slice of
saloon support in one or two pre-
cincts where he had personal
friends among the saloon men who
worked hard for him.
