compiled by The Age-Herald early
Wednesday, gave John w. Davis S,lla
votes: Coolidge 1875 votes, the Nation
al Prohibition party 6S votes, and tbs
La Follette-Wheeler party 1,OsO votes.
The prediction forecasts were up
set when the republicans ran far aheat
of the third party ticket at aiRese cs
cry box. The Coolidge vote in the couh
ty was considerably heavier than nat
been expected, while La Foliette.s vote
was much smaller than his local man
ayers had predicted.
Behind In Some Boxes
In dozen or more boxes, John w
Davis. democratic presidential nominee
ran behind the rest of the party ticket
these votes switching: to Coolidge.
]. w. Minor, democratic nominee fol
: the board of education, ran several hun
dred votes behind the ticket at many
boxes. Although J. w. Leggett. Besse
mer jeweler, was not on the ballot ane
had refused to allow the use OF his
name. he received the votes of 642 per
sons who scratched Mr.. Minor. Tht
Ensley district, where Mr.. Minor re
sides, rolled up a large vote for him
however.
Court House Bonds Ahead
The showing made by the court house
bonds furnished one of the outstanding
surprises of the county's vote. Al
though the defeat of this issue had been
widely forecast, it took commanding
lead in the early returns and maintained
II throughout the night. At 2 O'CLOCK
Wednesday, the GO boxes heard from
showed the vote on the court mouse
bonds as follows: For 5,SS7, against
4,K25.
The $5OO,O0O bond issue for Hillmsn
hospital stood: For S,216, against 2,
1853; while the 100000 issue for the
county schools stood For 1851, against
0.80S The amount of the court mouse
bond issue is 81, 500, 900.
All of sthe state amendments wen
over by landslidge, the ratio OF tins
vote being approximately 3 to in theii
favor. The amendment exempting ex
service men from poll tax payments was
the only amendment with a statewide
application, the remainder being local
but vital.
John w. Davis got all of the votes
polled at .,ur boxes in the county. de
lost only seven boxes, six. of these going
to Coolidge and one TO la Toilette. The
most impressive showing of La Toilette
was made at the Acipco commissary
where he defeated Davis by almost Z
