Good Work Done.
There never was much better or
ganization nor more effective work IN
getting out voters, than was shown in
Mondays efforts by both the republic
can and democratic city committees.
Checkers stationed at their headquar-
tiers kept careful tabs on those VINO
had voted and those who had not anu
every effort was made to get every
man to the polls. So effectively was
this done that it was claimed as early
as o'clock, an hour before the polls
closed, that all but three voters reg
istered in the fourth ward had been
to the polls.
Both republicans and democrats had
big fleets of automobiles at their dis
posal and there was much scurrying OF
the machines about town, in accord
ance with instructions from headquar-
in. The use of most of the machines
was proffered by party workers anx-
ious to land in office the candidates
of their party.
1t was admitted by party workers
who have followed city elections close
ly since the Incorporation of Putnam
as city that there was never more
closely fought contest than that of
Monday, with both parties expectant
of winning control of the city govern
ment right up to the close of the polls.
