Much speculation as to the
outcome of the city election
greeted the News reporter as
he snooped around trying to
“get a line” on the intricate
machinery sthat makes the
wheels go around to determine
who shall occupy our public
offices.
At 3:15 p. m. this afternoon
only 357 votes had been polled,
this indication pointing not to
a lack of interest but to a con-
scientious spirit that often finds
its way into community elec-
tions.
The reporter met several
who had “gone fishing” and
others seemed too busy to re-
member the lure of the poll.
• All the candidates could be
seen frequently on the square
meeting friends and taking
jokes thrust at them good-nat-
uredly.
No one will know the results
until after the polls close at
7 o’clock tonight. Until this
time everybody is winning.
