Why Straw Vote At
Polls Was Postponed

Frederick G.. Mullins, the Democratic
mayoral nominee, said today the rea-
son he used his influence to prevent
the straw ballot being taken at Poll
theatre, yesterday, was that he had
been informed that the Telegram had
made all arrangements to take a bal
lot at the Main street plant of the
Crane Valve Co. yesterday at noon A
large number of ballots had been dis
tributed among the workingmen at the
factory, furnished by the Telegram.
The Telegram agreed to have this bal
lot taken and po1led yesterday and it
was so understood
About IL o'clock yesterday was in
formed said Mr.. Mullins, chat for
reasons not known to me, the vote at
the Crane plant had been called off.
Then after the employees of the fac
tory had arranged to cast their bal
lot, thought that before any other
ballot was taken that day. an OPP
portunity ought to be given to the
Crane people to cast their ballots. So
I stated the circumstances to the man
ager Of Mr.. Polls theatre, who said
that he would postpone the ballot
there to some other evening this week.
