Record Vote Predicted
A record vote of between 1880
and 1900 is predicted by party
leaders here tomorrow, as un-
precedented interest is being shown
in the election and both sides will
make unusual efforts to bring out
the largest possible pcrcentable of
the towns 2,3oo voters. The repub-
lieans will establish headquarters in
the town clerks office and. with
fleet of Is cars at their command,
will be prepared to bring to the
polling place all voters who wish
transportation. The democratic
party will take possession of the
fremen's rooms in thes Town hall
and will have a squadron of at least
half q dozen automobiles to bring
Its sympathizers to the voting places.
Party leaders tend to concur IN
the opinion that the republicans will
carry Plainville. but they disagree
radically on the size of the ma iority,
q. 0. p. adherents are claiming that
they will win a majority of from 500
to 1000. while the democrats insist
that the plurality will be not more
than 400. The two sides will make
a great fight for votes here in order
that the difference between the to-
tails may be used by their partieA in
the state wide battle.
Because Of the large number of
voters expected. a step has been
taken to speed up tie checking at
the polls. Persons whose last names
beginning with letters from A to X
will check at the left hand table and
those whose names start with the
letters from l. to at the right
hand one. Housewives have been
asked to assist by voting during the
morning or afternoon instead of the
rush hours in the early morning and
between IL and l o'clock. when the
factory workers will be crowding the
machines.
The polls will open at q. m. and
close at 6 p. m. BY Moderator John
f. Lambs ruling. all who have been
checked at the latter hour may vote.
