nesday evening when two candidates
| were put through the third degree. But
they, the candidates, never squealed as
| is so often the case when the police
authorities administered that degree

While election day was very quiet
the day after was pretty lively one
with people clamoring for news. II
was one occasion after general cleo
| tion that the victors did not rub it in
Democrats generaly acted as though
they expected just what happened
while republicans were inclined tc
feel sympathy for their old time op-
ponents because the defeat was sc
overwhelming. The third party people
who expected to sweep the state were
so dazed that they had nothing to say
Election day was about as quiet a:
a Sunday. None of the parties had any
organization, and there was not the
usual logging for votes. The weather
was clear and bright which resulted
in getting out pretty full vote. There
were no surprises developed in thu
lOroville precincts, although Webster
friends were somewhat disappointed
that he did not receive larger vote
However, considering the many ele
ments opposed to him it may be con
sidered strongly in his favor that h
carried the three precincts at all. Out
side of Precinct No. the third part,
'made very poor showing.
