When today's vote battle is finish
ed it will go into history as one of the
batterest fights in the city. All day
long the Sullivan and Harrison fac
tons clashed and as a result States
Atty Moyne and County Judge

Both the Democratic fight between
Sweitzer and Harrison and the Re

were shouting victory. The First ward
