Hourly blasts on the whistle at the
electric station notified the electorate
that an election was in progress
throughout the day but the principal
explanation Of the large vote for a
city election was the intensive work
done by Legionnaires and other
friends Of the memorial building
project. So far as could be learned
no one was actively at work against
the proposal.
Motor cars. manned by Legion
naires. were busy throughout the day
carrying voters to the polls and plans
were announced at Legion campaign
headquarters to redouble their ef-
forts during the afternoon. Those
who could give time this morning did
so. Others worked only during the
afternoon and some were on the Job
all day.
ut certainly looks good" said H. J.
Kamplin. chairman of the legion
committee. THE people are turning
out in good shape and reports from
our workers In every precinct indicate
that We will carry the election by q
handsome majority. It will be q bic
