was over, there would be surcease

was out importuning his friends; ir-

in his favor. Adopting the saying
that "the early bird catches the

them are yet dazed over the unex-

was the peculiar candidate of the

had answered and that he would
sweep the country No wonder they
were dazed for few hours after the
convincing returns came in. Who
could have thought the American peo-

minds on election day fn, going from
their home to the polls. But they did.

Many Ballots Are Thrown Out Be-
cause Of Misunderstanding When
Voter Improperly Marked
the Ticket.
lam A DIMIKRATn
one Man Despalrs Of Selecting Forty
Candidates Out Of Ono Hun
bred and FIFTY and
Writes Intentions.

Improper udIhiuS VI Inc SOdllOCS re-
suited In q number OF votes being
cast out by the election judges in
this city. Almost every conceivable
mistake was made that would invali-
date the ballot.
It seems that the people, cannot for
ret that the old method OF voting in
which the circle was used to mark
straight tickets is not now in use. AL
though probably not more than one
sixth Of tho ballots were voted
straight the absence OF the circle is
blamed for most OF the spoiled ones.
Some men would put cross oppo-
site only the names of the presiden-
tial candidates and then mark the
county ticket; some would vote for
only the first two presidential cleo
tors in the list and several were mark
ed for only one candidate.
There was much scratching espe-
cially in the county ticket. OF course,
the majority of the voters who sup
ported the progressive candidates also
voted for the county tickets and this
added to the confusion.
IAN Dfmlkrat."
To the second ward goes the honor
for the most unique vote. One man
evidently despairing Of penetrating
the intricacies OF the ballot, simply
wrote at the top, "am dimil1rat."
His intention was all right but his
intended vote goes for naught. An
other man placed a cross opposite
every name on the ballot. One man
voted the progressive ticket from top
to bottom including the county where
there were no candidates.
The old circle method was abolish
ed few years ago to make it easier
for the independent voter to cast his
support for men OF different parties.
Whether or not that had any effect
cannot be told, but there was more
general breaking away of party lines
than ever before in this county.
The Short Ballot.
~
It is certain that the principle Of
the short ballot gained many advo-
Gates in this city yesterday. 1t is re
markable that men Of intelligence
say they We're puzzled and had to
study the ballot before they could
properly cast their vote.
Advocacy of the voting machine
was also heard last night by people
anxious for returns from this county.
In Burlington where the machines
We're used the results were pretty
well determined by eleven o'clock.
The first cost of the voting machine
Is great but the maintenance is al
most nothing and in the eastern states
they are regarded as essential, es-
pecially In the cities. However, in
several places machines have been
abandoned and the old system again
put In use.

lief work done among the poor by the
Christian church this year was wide
spread and many times what had been
done before.
The ladies' societies each earned
nearly a thousand dollars during the
year or total of nearly two thousand
for both. Mrs. George SIiger is presi-
dent of the Deborah society and Mrs.
