STEADY VOTING IN
LOCAL ELECTION
Over 1850 Votes Cast Up to

Half Total
NO SLACKENING

Only Local Contest Is Over Town Repre-

mobiles Estimated that as Many
Women as Men Come to Polls.

Voting in the presidential election be-
gan in BrattleborO promptly at o'clock
this morning, and at 1.30 o'clock this
afternoon about 1850 persons had voted,
which was more than 800 in excess of
the total vote cast for president up to
) O'Clock, the hour of closing, four years
ago.
There are about 5000 names on the
check list. the names of men exceeding
those of women by a few hundred. The
1850 cast up to 100 was something over
one-half the total. At noon four years
ago over 900 had been cast.
Constable Chauncey l. Knapp, who is
in charge of the election, opened the
polls with only the {ormaIity of an
nouncing at o'clock that the polls were
open for the reception of ballots. Not

the ballOtIng has been steady, the booths
on both sides of Festival hall being full
al the time.
Through the noon hour there was no
tagging, nor was there any perceptible
slackening of business during the rain
which began falling about l O'Clock and
continued about II minutes.
For purposes of comparison it is in
teresting to note that in 1916 the total
presidential vote for the two leading
candidates was 1888 and for town rep
reseRtative, including five scattering, l.
$40, for all day. Today's increase of
course is due to the enfranchisement of
women. and while there are more names
OF men than women on tile check list,
up to l o'clock it was estimated that
az many women had voted as men.
The only local contest is over town
