away for the elephant IN the east.
In the afternoon the voting fell
off to some extent and estimates
were that the total vote in the city
would be about the same as in the
primary. Few expected it to run
more than that figure. The guesses
on the total for the city ranged from
1000 to 1900. The average guess for
the entire county was 2500.
From start to finish the ballotiny
was carried through in a quiet man
