the recent city primary and election.
Early returns indicated that nAscu-
line voters outnumbered the women
by more than three to one In some
precincts, notably those in the First

Little excitement or disorder was

Counting of ballots was no, begun
in most precincts at 10 o'clock this
morning although election officials
were permitted to do so il they chose.
However, because there was only one
proposition TO be voted upon and be-

were made known early.

ing system, Cast tank radiator with
removable core, Stewart vacuum sys-
