TEN PER CENT
VOTE RECORDED
AT 2 O'CLOCK

Slightly more than 10 per cent of
the voters of THE city had visited
the polls at . o'clock this after
noon to east ballots in the primary
election today, the main battle of
! interest to the valley being that
! between S. 2. Williams and Vaughn
y. Thompson for the office of su-
perior court judge.
; The total vote at that time was
| 30S out of a registration of 2,34O.
This would indicate that the to-
! tai vote will approximate TOout one
quarter of the total registration.
Indications were to the effect that
the afternoon voting would be
slow but it was expected that bal
loting would pick up again between
! 5 and : o'clock
Reports from outlying districts
were to the effect that in Brawley
/ the best turnout would be realized
due to the contest between George
R. Buffers and Henry l.. jackson
| for supervisor.
There was no indication that any
write-in campaigns of any nature
would be attempted in this city.
The only other contest of interest
to the valley is that between DR..
J {. d. Ball and Nelson T. Edwards
for the office OF state senator.
While Thompson supporters were
/ still confident of victory for the
present Judge in the superior court
! race it was believed that the light
vote would prove favorable to VII
| liams' chance. Several rally meet
ings for the two candidates were
/ held last night.
