The second choice votes in these FIVE
precincts will have some effect upon the
city judge. inasmuch as there is a total
of 1872 of these votes to be distributed
on aldermen at large there are 167
second choice votes to be distributed
and what the effect of this distribution
will be is very difficult to predict

choice votes properly returned from the
second ward. The second choice votes
now available in the fifth ward viii not
affect the nomination of Carlson. neither
will the second choice votes in the sev-
