There is no doubt about the fact |
hat Harrington has had a town
lection. When the smoke of battle
feared away the total number of
Otes cast was 722, which is rec
rd brtaker. Last year some over
we hundred were cast. The work.
rs on both sides were out in force
nd since the polls closed there is
much talk of Irregularities in the
lection and there is some talk that
he defeated candidates may contest
he election. In the first place it was
eported that the judges were hand
licked and previous to the election
lany of the candidates objected to
heir serving. but they served de-
pite the objections. Many colOred
oters were rushed to the polls and
nyone who had not paid taxes were
to display a tax receipt.
Iany questioned the fact that tax
eceiDts of recent date were legal.
till other charges are being pressed
lat at least one resident of Mary
md voted at the election.
The biggest howl came when they
.arted to count out the votes. 1t has
ways been customary to allow in
rested workers and candidates to
ssemble in the election room while
le votes are counted. Councilman
NTH who was not up for re-elec-
on, but was one of the active work.
IS, seemed to have a special privil-
ye in being allowed in the election
,om. Joshua Smith, another active
orker in behalf of one of the cOun-
Imam candidates, had special re-
rived seat. Yet on the other hand
is reported that Councilman Smith
'dered candidate w. E. West out OF
e election room. Councilman Nor
5 up for reelection had a key and
ltered the election room when he /,
eased. One citizen made the state
ent that the Ware organization in ,,
were pikers against
e machine controlling the local
ection.
