The situation in Memphis is the same
as in other portions of the state. Not
half the voters are even registered, Not
a tenth of them have paid their poll

In nanv wards and country precincts
no boxes or blank ballots had even
been sent to the polling places at noon
Thursday. The board of election com
missioners did appoint the necessary
number Of election Officers. but APP
parently' few Of those appointed are

TO the board, was on duty in the of
fices in the courthouse, where at moor
about half the ballot boxes had moi
been called for. There are 9e election
precincts in the city and county, Onls
S2 boxes had been sent out, Six coun-
Try district boxes were still in the Of
flee.
Where the polls we're opened in tht
city, the vote could only he described
as scattering. In some wards no vote
at all had been cast at noon.
