1895 Cast Ballots in
City Primary Yesterday
Ruh0 Necessary in Races for Mayor Chief Of Police and
City Clerk Surprises for Some While Others Would
Have Been Amazed Had ii Been Otherwise

INTEREST STRONG BUT OF QUIET
VARIETY.
The public interest in the main
for the contested offices, since it was
settled definitely several weeks ago
as to the dates the primary would
be held and all of the entries had
been decided has been of the strong
but very quiet variety. The result
Of the ballots surprised some while
others would have been surprised
had 1t not happened as it did. Large
numbers of persons generally accus-
toned to 'feel the publics pulse" be-
fore such contests and to be able to
make reasonably good forecasts con-
fessed before yesterdays election
that they were at sea as to results,
This was on account of the extreme
reticence Of the average voter who
kept his choice to himself, few know
ing as yet how anybody voted.
ELECTION GOOD HUMoRED-AN-
OTHER ONE TO COME.
Not a single untoward or unpleas-
ant incident occurred during election
day to mar its community spirit"
Even the defeated candidates took
their medicine without making a.
wry face-most of them even in the
best kind of humor, apparently.
The second primary will be held
next Tuesday to decide finally who
will fill the offices. The contested
places will have as entries as a re-
suit of the election yesterday: T. M.
Smylie and r. S. Butler for Mayor;
John w. Boone and j. H. Case for.
chief of police; Mrs. lyme Daughtry
Nixon and w. Claude Williams for
City Clerk.
VOTING WAS BRISK ALL DAY.
The voting place at the City Hall
was scene of animated interest all
day long or until the polls closed.
The addition of the large number of
lady voters to the lists, and the mex
perience of some of them taking ad-
ditional time made the line of wait
ers as long as 40 on occasions. The
clerks were extremely busy and it
took up time now and then to ex-
plain why citizen could not vote
when her or his name could not be
found on the registration books.
A suggestion that is meeting with
favor for future elections is that sep
arate voting places be used in each
ward.

The biggest boobs in American bu-
siness today are the hero-worship-

think afterwards. They take a man
at his apparent value when they see

or read about him when only his vfr-
tues and best accomplishments are
emphasized.
