LOCAL ELECTION NEWS

The election in Oroville passed of
quietly. Very little electiOneering wa!
done for individual candidates. All is
sues we're lost sight of in the contes
between the vets and dries. TIL,
day was cloudy, dark and threatening
but no rain fell. The vote was far be
low what was generally expected. Ou
Of a total registration in Oroville towr
Of 2S7 only 227 votes were cast. The
total for the entire precinct, includ
ing the territory outside of the towr
was 267. The tickets were very badly
cut up, making counting slow and te
dious The only surprise was the vote
on governor. The impression pre-
yailed that Hay would carry the pre-.
cinct by a good majority, but Lister
lead him by Z votes. To the credit Of
the people it can be stated that Hodge
received only 16 votes. Only about
one-third of the voters expressed
themselves one way or the other or
the amendments, although all of then
received large majority of such votes
q we're cast. The socialist vote was
much lighter in this precinct than was
expected. The following is the full
vote Of the precinct that may be filed
away for future reference:
