(Ihe Press Will this evening receive
bulletins giving the result of the pri-
mary election in California, which
will be displayed for the benefit of
the public.-Editor Press)
That the people of the valley had
far more interest in the presidential
primaries than they had indicated,
was shown by the disposition to get
out to the polls early, and it is be-
lieved that the vote in this county
and throughout the state will be large.
While the voting was free, it was
conducted quietly and with good order.
the presence of women OH the election
boards and among the voters counting
well for an orderly election.
Owing to the fact that but two
marks are made on ballot, it is be-
lieved the count will proceed rapidly
and the result of the election be
known early.
1t is hoped that by 8 or 10 o'clock
it will be definitely known how the
election in the state has resulted.
The vote at / 80 this afternoon had
reached 115, and the indications were
for vote running above 200. This is
far from a normal vote of the town, but
it was select body of thoughtful vot-
ers who were represented.

the tents for polls had not arrived
Workmen were unable to vote early
Redivision of the precincts caused con
fusion, and the vote, therefore is com
paratively light. A greater proportion
of women are voting than of men.
