lzed and ready for business In fact Mrs. Colodyry was at the polling place five minutes before the polls were opened. Her precipitateness was accounted for by the fact that she was to leave for Tucson on the SIX o'clock Southern Pacific train and she went on that train but it did not go at six o'clock. It was held that Mrs Colodny might cast i her vote
 The voters of the first ward had been impressed with the necessity of prompt and steady action if all or even considerable part of the vote was to be cast and almost from the beginning there was a steady stream of voters reaching out into the street, sometimes across the middle of it.
 The form of the register made the voting slow. It was a time consum- ing task to find the names and numbers of the voters. The names were under the proper first initial hut after that all attempts at alpha betical arrangement had been aban- doned. Often as much as a minute was consumed in looking for a name Though there had been no lull in the voting up to ten o'clock. only about 300 votes had been cast. Then a double shift was put on, two lines of voters were formed and business proceeded with greater expedition Two thirds of the vote was cast in , the afternoon
 The good government league work CTS were the more active in this i ward with the result that the earlier vote favored it's candidates. There was not the slightest disorder about the polls. There was much earnest ness but no expression of i'll humor because of differences of opinion re- Parding the qualifications of can didates

 It was early seen by the voters and officials in the second ward
 that so great was the influx of
 voters at the polls. and so wide
 spread the interest there. that a great difficulty was about to be experienc- i cd in getting all the willing voters in. The condition was put up with

 Attorney Prescott was sent for to see if some arrangement could moi
 he made whereby more than ono
 person could be voted at a time.
 Then it was decided to open tht two doors wide into the board O
 trade rooms and to run two lines bN
 the clerks up to the inspector. Thi!
 was done and the names divided a!
 to letters of the alphabet. Quicker
 progress was made this way so tha

SPEED NOW A GREAT FACTOR
Modsrnized Baseball Uses Faster Play
Than Was the Case In Earlier
Days Of the Game.

1t Is in the base stealing department
that the biggest difference between the
old.time ball players and the present
generation Is found. A comparison be.
tween the figures Of 20 years ago and
now shows a remarkable falling of.
In 1856 In the National league three
men stole more than so bases. Harry
Stovey led the American association
with So steals. In 1887 Stovey broke all
records stealing LAB bases. Arlie
Latham was close second with lag.
In the National league Johnny Ward
led with 10 steals, the late Jimmy
Fogarty being second with 1902. In
1883 Stovey made a record that will
hardly be touched. He stole 1S6 bases.
