Party leaders on both sides COM
pie,ed arrangements last night where
by workers and automobiles were Sc
cured for service in bringing 10 the
polls AL slow or tardy voters. The
election here gives every indication
of being one of the most closely con-
tested races in years and more ac-
tivity among party leaders has been
shown during this campaign than was
manifested in the presidential cleo
ton of 1920. Evidence OF this lies in
the fact that this district was one OF
the few in the State which increased
it's registration total over that OF 1920.
There are IS more persons registered
for the election today than there were
in 1920. which is accounted for by the
number OF women who registered this
year who refused 10 register two
years ago.
