THE PRECINCT MEETINGS

1t is a remarkable testimony-if one were
needed to the loyalty and faith of the farm
ers in their organization that on Saturday Jan.
81, more than twelve hundred precinct meetings
were held in the state, despite one of the worst
blizzard that We have had this season.
We venture the assertion that no such high
percentage OF attendance could be secured in
the cities and villages of the state where the
farmers enemies are thickest-to any political
or party gathering, were the weather as severe
as it was on January 81. This is also considering
that the town dweller will have blocks to go.
where the farmer will go miles.
It is inspiring to read some of the letters that
come in, giving accounts of the meetings, held
out in some lonesome school house, buried in a
smother of snow, and of how the members
struggled over obliterated roadways to get
there. Several speak of using skis and snow
shoes to get to the meeting place! These men
faced a blizzard out of the north that most of
US, hid comfortably behind solid walls and be-
side warm fires, felt and complained about.
What set them out to face the elements on a
rampage? Just a principle-an idea-a hope.A
dream, the enemy calls it. It was the same sort
of a dream that made Paul, the Apostle and the
early Christians face shipwreck, hostile mobs,
jailings, stripes and destitution-the dream of
a benefit to mankind
In some sparcely settled regions of the state
no meetings were held. The snow-borne wind

of finding shelter, should the way be lost. These
men now have appealed to the National Execu-
tive Committee and asked that another day be
set, Saturday, Feb. 81, as a day upon which
they may meet and elect their delegates to
county convention and the precinct committee

artistic dances, snappy sketches and
superior vocalization- Jimmy Wall,
principal comedian, was all that the

second with 762 votes each, and
Brady, the fourth member of the sue
cessful quartet, had 701 votes.
sam G. Westcott and Lee Hovey,
the defeated candidates for mayor,
ran in the order named. Westcott
polled 2S7 altogether and his highest
vote came in the fifth ward. Hoyey
! totaled 1913 votes.
In the council ticket, Mccormick
was next highest to the four success
full candidates with 535 votes. Aiken
with 467, Glasgow with $50 and Kelly
with 2l0 shows how the votes were
distributed.
Plenty of Work Ahead.
Hemmys strength showed UP in
every precinct in the city. He ran
consistently in every ward. Hickey
and Overton were tied for second
place on the ticket with the same
number of votes.t Overton made a
consistent race, to judge from the
way the votes were polled for him in
every ward. Brady's big strength
was in the fifth and second wards.
The scattering of the vote among the
eight council aspirtants makes it
plain that considerable work will be
done in the next two weeks to pick
up the vote.
The Craig and Rovane vote is in
teresting. Craig led Rovane by a
large majority in the first, and Ro
vane returned the compliment in the
second, Rovane's own ward. In the
third ward Rovane made a strong
effort to cut under Craig's vote, but
Craig led. In the fourth, Rovane was
the leader, as he was in the fifth. He
led by small vote in the sixth and
Craig topped him by two in the sew
enth. Thirteen votes is all that
separates the two candidates in the
totals.
Much Interest Shown.
For coming at the close Of such a
quiet campaign, the interest in the
voting was intense. The returns
first began coming in about a quar-.
ter to eight o'clock. The Gate City
office was Acrowded from then until
the final bell was struck when the
third ward reported. The seventh
was the first to report complete re-
turns. The fifth reported the vote
on mayor, and the rest of the wards
followed in close order. The first,
then the second, fourth, sixth and
third, in this order.
The Gate City was disappointed
last night in not being able to get
the equipment to show the returns
on the screen in front of the office
as usual Arrangements are made,
however, to display the result two
weeks from last night, and unless
something unforeseen occurs, the
election crowd will & not be disap-
pointed. 4s
The office was packed to the doors
last night with the election fans,
who stayed on the job until the final
fisvres were in. Several OF the cam
didates were in the crowd.
