The combination OF April Fool
weather dished up by Uncle Sans
fCrecaster ih Detroit and the quies-
cent attitude OF the public generally
in the spring campaign thar ended
today. resulted in an extremely light
vote being cast thruout the city UP
tn noon Monday.
Early afternoon voting was not
much heavier. AM the yaWning
board members In the booths kept
up their spirits by saying. Wait un-
I'll evening. Then the vote will come
out" The polls Will be orcn until
. o'clock and this fact kept many
from getting their ballots in before
starting the days work. Even the
lusy workers for the candidates
saved most OF their energy for the
evening hours.
From indications early this after.
noon the politicians who are inter
Csted In Tie size of the vote cast
were doping It out that the total for
IhC city would approximate $4,000.
THIS was based on the assumption
that not more than half the total
vote would be in by O'Clock
There was very little friction At
the polling booths The most diff
Guilty was experienced with men
who wanted their ballots marked for
them and who brought in Irinted
lists which they wished 10 have
voted. Tho law reads that when a
voter asks 10 have his ballot mark
cd for him. the inspector shall read

the names Of the various candidates
and the voter shall say which candi-
date be wants TO vote for.
ChAllengers in many cases held
that presenting a printed slate did
not conform TO the law and that the
voter would have To announce his
choice In each instance. The argu-
ments invariably wound up by call
