The Glenwood post., 1912-09-14

The election of last Tuesday was
while the newspapers have done theit
part toward enlightening the people amd
while county clerks throughout the
state have issued Instructions TO voters
advising them how to proceed to vote
under the new primary law, many bal
lots were spoiled and many Others
proved that the voter was confused and
did not know how TO proceed.
The provision of the law confining
voters to candidates of one party ana
preventing democrats from voting for
republican friends and vice versa
proved great disappointment to many
who have been known as Independent
voters and have formed the habit of
going outside their own party to oc
casionally help personal friend. IN
one Of the Glenwood precincts one of
the voters made many crosses on both
ballots and because the judges would
not allow him to vote both ballots tore
them both to shreds and rushed out
in huff. In the same precinct lady
voter deposited in the discard box
the ballot she had marked and tine mis-
take WAS not discovered until she un-
dertook to vote the unmarked ballot.
In the four Glenwood precincts
the vote was about As per cent OF
the registration and 50 per cent of the
vote Ton governor two years ago, bu:
in the country precincts the vote is
much lighter than that. For the most
part in this county very little interes.
was taken in the election, especially
among the republicans, due, no doubt,
to the lack of opposition among desig.
mated candidates. With the democrats
it was little differc-., a nvely scrap
developing in the Offices Of sheriff,
treasurer, clerk and recorder and as.
SCISSOR. The Napier -Drach Glenwood
machine went down the line strong for
Baxter, Selhorst, Howard and Nc
Guirk and they won out on all except
Howard and his defeat was both Il
surprise and disappointment to the
bunch.
With the republicans there were only
two offices for which the contest was
considered seriously if indeed such was
the case with these. Anyway the battle

publicans were concerned
