AT the polls Monday an unusual fea-
ture was introduced when workers for
MT. brewster were In evidence with
pockets full of small cards printed in
various bright colors, signed by G. l..

votes majority for Brewster.
Many of the Brewster supporters
claimed that many Democrats went to
the polls and, enrolling as Republicans,
voted Tor harrington, thus cutting
down their anticipated lead. On the
other hand, some of the voters in SYM
pathy with Harrington seemed to think
quite the opposite.

less neutral in the election seemed to
think that there were but few Demo-
Gratis went to the polls except to vote
the Democratic ticket, and their senti-
ment seems to be substantiated by the

candidate for mayor. polled over 1900
votes, while the total Republican vote
