flcials insisted that the noise of the
clicking keys indicated that there
was much scratching, Of two or
three candidates in the north SIDE
precincts.

ficials reported the voting heavy
and straight. This is normally
Democratic territory.
No trouble of serious nature at
tended the opening of the polls at
6 a. m, nor the early hours of vot-
ing. There were a few cases of
stuck machines and failure of pre-
cinct officials to understand in
structions, but the county election
board, Ira M. Holmes, James E.
Deery and George o. Hutsell, ironed
out the trouble rapidly.
The board had headquarters at
the courthouse, from which the
election commissioners sped to the
scenes of difficulties in fast auto
mobiles, driven by deputy sheriffs.
Women Vote Heavy
AS has been true of the last few
elections, women we're turning out
as promptly and in as large num-
berS as men in most sections of the
county.

pected this afternoon, after house
hold duties were attended to, al
though nearly as many women as
men were in line during the hours
before the men had to go to fac
tories and offices this morning.
AS usual the evidences of organi-
cation were greater around Repub-
lcan thin Democratic county head
quarters, although Democrats APP
peared to be in better shape than
for many years.
George V. Coffin, boss of the Sew
enth district, was running things at
Republican headquarters in the X.

by able and active lieutenants,
among them Wayne " Zimmerman,
county secretary, and John Royse,
the latter having charge of the di-
rection of 800 automobiles with
which disabled voters were hauled
to the polls.
Prosecutor William H. Remy,
deputies and lawyers from both
Republican and Democratic ranks
awaited reports of fraud at the
prosecutors office.

to prosecute vigorously anyone
caught intimidating voters, repeat
ing or attempting to vote when not
authorized by legal residence.
He stated that his agents were
keeping a particular watch on the
wards were suspicious activities were
reported in the primary.
