ELECTION RETURNS
 BRING JOY AND GRIEF
 TO WARREN DISTRICT
Some Decide to Move Away from State - Others Sure They will Have to Continue Working.


 craze residents of the Warren District Gin fact the composite resident of the region) will still have to work for his ham and" today as we'll as any future days, appears conceded in face of the election returns.
 This is merely to dispel any doubt | which might finger in the minds of many people in the Warren District that the election of Hughes would put them out of business or. vice versa, that the election of Woodrow Wilson would put stop to prosper ous conditions. Either candidate promised little toward lifting the bur den of work from anyone's shoulders.
 Yesterday morning there was crepe on Brewery Gulch. Nose Green had his satchel packed and was ready to go south or north.
 Other warm admirers of Governor Hunt were considering little bit of everything in retaliation. Yesterday evening when it became apparent that Cochise County's majority would swing the election for the Governor, Greens clothes went back in the dresser, his smile returned and he de- cided to stick around" little while Last night Brewery Gulch was light ed up and there were smiles in plenty It looked like a big night. End of Counting Bisbee 1 and Lowell, proper, fin ished counting their ballots yesterday Bisbee finished about 12 o'clock and Lowell about ? o'clock. Bisbee 2 fin ished about o'clock yesterday morn ing. Two precincts in Douglas, Nos. and 6, finished early yesterday morning.
 Owing to this congested condition in the polling precincts the correct vote was not to be had until yester day afternoon with any degree of ac- curacy. After the Warren District and Douglas had completed the count it was comparatively easy to forecast majorities in this county.
 Hard Shedding
 Those in Bisbee, and in every other part of every other state in the coun- try, who casually call up the local newspaper office and shoot, Flows the lection going?" at the receiving end of the telephone do not appre- ciate that they are asking a question which, up until late last night, could be answered, to a certainty, only by the Divinity. That parsonage, during election time, is exceedingly busy and has little time to answer telephones.
 With a separate long distance con- nection in the Review office from Tuesday until yesterday, which was manned by a receiver at all times night and day for forty eight hours, the office force and several extra at taches were more than occupied.
 Gathering News Difficult
 The local phone was busy every minute of the day and night. The doubt which existed as to the final outcome in both state and national contests put premium on informa- tion. It was slow to come in to the Review office and consequently calls multiplied
 Gathering returns from county pre- cincts and from city precincts is difficult undertaking. But for the aid given by the Mountain States Tele- phone and Telegraph Company it would be practically impossible. with out resorting to the mails. Even with wires it is necessary to get some of the precincts by mail.
 A. w. Howe of Tombstone, who is better acquainted in Cochise county than any other, man, handles the gath ering of the returns for the Review. Before the election, forms are sent to every precinct with the election sup plies. Like forms are kept in the Re- view office and when a precinct is through counting it's vote the inspec- tor or some official of election is re- quested. in advance. to telephone that information to the Review. In many instances it has to be relayed through Benson, or through Tombstone or through Douglas. This further com Dlicates the work and renders it liable to some inaccuracies. These, how ever, are reduced to a minimum
 In The Office
 With people surging through the office of the newspaper and with crowds waiting outside for informa- tion the returns are tabulated This involves great effort and much pa tience. Each candidate and each pre- cinct has a particular space on a large cardboard and from this the fin al votes are compiled, as they come in to the office. This list is. in turn. sent to the composing room. where the returns are tabulated again into type.
 The Result
 After all is over the crowds in the office. and out. disappear. Interest goes down and normal returns both in the newspaper office and on the streets.
 Thank the Lord elections come but
