more or less Chan one grand farce. In
Medina village the vote was so badly
split up that election clerks after fill
ing up their tally sheets with names
of those. who received one, two or
three votes, were forced to tabulate
the balance under the heading of
scattering votes, which ran as high as
855 in one precinct. The result in
sWadsworth was but little better, sew
seral Of the candidates being elected
on both tickets.
Up to noon Tuesday but four votes
had been cast in Precinct G, Medina
village, while B and A could boast of
but a few more.
After dinner Republican voters be-
gan to register a little more freely
but the apathy which had hold of the
Democrats would not be shaken off. In
one precinct it was stated that the
Democrats had a sample ticket posted
but when the votes were counted the
staggering total Of three was posted
on the board. .-
Il In the Republican contest for mayor
Hartzog beat Warner two to one, due
Ito the advantage of having his name
printed on the ballot.
In many instances there were two
or more candidates tied for various
Offices. In case all seek the office the
board of elections will settle the dis
pute. At Wadsworth where several
men We're nominated on both tickets,
they are allowed the privilege of
choosing the ticket upon which they
