Neck and neck down the home-
stretch they thundered, while the pal
pitating crowds in the grand stand
hung breathless over the balustrade,
too engrossed even to cheer, the only
sounds breaking the silence being the
drone of the tellers and an OCCASION
al staccato when some onlooker shift
ed and took fresh hold on his chew
ing gum.
Thus the shade of General Lew
Wallace, special correspondent for
The Sun, wrote at midnight Monday
of the count of the ballots in the
Flagstaff councilmanic and mayoral-
ty race.
In our humdrum terrestrial manner,
had we been writing it, we would
have said that the race between the
three leading candidates was close
and exciting throughout, with first
one and then another leading; and
with a couple other close fights for
second and third place among the
runnerS-up.
But General Lew was whlz of
race writer, and The Sun, in beating
all contemporaries by getting his ex-
elusive services for this track event,
scored a Knockout.
The vote was heavy-heaviest yet
in city election-th though none of the
candidates especially extended them
selves to get votes and some of them
not at all. But TAO votes had been
cast when the polls at city hall closed
at six o'clock Monday evening. The
vote two years ago, the last preced-
ing election, was 708, which was the
record up to that time.
Though there was no real contest,
the high standing of all of the II
candidates was responsible for the
heavy vote, each having many friends
and admirers who wanted to see him
land in the first division.
