 | hual town election, the polls in the old town building on Church street will be open from a. m. until p. m. There are but two tickets in the efild, republican and democratic. Judge Frank H. Foss
 has been chosen moderator and it has been decided that the votes of women will l be placed in the same ballot box with those Of the men. Election officials are | being appointed and it is certain that wo- l men will get their share of the selections
 Last year the vote was 1898 for the men | and 2e9 for the women, total of 2,167 but this year, with the law allowing wo- en voters of school questions to vote 8 full ticket, the number will doubtless be increased to avor 2.500. there are some six
 hudred women eligible to cast their bal. lots. Scratched ballots will figure sreat. ly in today's election if Windhan lives up to tradition In 1919 the republicans
 received 75S straight ballots, the demo.
 sats 52 and 455 were scratched. The final result of the election was known ~at 1915 last year. but with the added mum Der of votes the final results will natural ly be greatly delayed.
