for anY ONCE other than that OF town
representative. and the interest in
these gentlemen Was light In Dor
set . little local enthusiasm was
seh0wn for the local candidate for
sherin, Burr D Phillips polling a
vote Of 67 TO the other candidate &C.
The vote 10 both place was exceed
ingly light. although Of about the
same size al az the primaries Of two
years ago. Two hundred thirty-four
votes were polled In Manchester from
a check list containing 1.2t6 names
Dorset did about as well with 1873
persons from a list OF 500 eXercis-
ing their right OF suffrage.
The contest for representative
from Manchester had been a matter
OF some talk. and there had been a
wide difference OF opinion as regard
ed the strength OF the opposing can
didates. r. Burr Gleason on the Re
publican ticket and WILDER G. Bebee
on the Democratic side But all the
interest was shown before the ballot
ing. for there was scarcely half
dozen In the hall TO hear the result
of the voting. after the boxes had
been turned. The count showed that
Mr.. Gleason had 155 votes in his
party and Mr. Bebee "a votes In his,
while the former had two votes in
the Democratic ballot and the latter
had 2s Republican votes cast for
him These however. do not give
them added strength In the party
primary, but simply shows their rel
ative strength. The Republican can
didate polled l57 votes to the Demo
Gratis So. There were three scatter
ing and IL defective votes
There seems 20 be good deal of
Misunderstanding In regard TO vot-
ing in the primaries. Many were the
complaints made about having to de-
clare your party befor- entering the
polls. and one or two would not vote
because they had TO declare their
party preference.
