The film was furnished by the

Justin folk missed the program

Neither man in each race re-

judge.
Jost was elected by a wide ma-
jority, receiving 1,943 votes.
The 3,996 heavy vote Tuesday
fell only four short of a predicted
4,000 votes made early Tuesday
by Election Judge Smith, and reg-
istered a better-than-500-vote mar-
gin over the previous heaviest
city-election vote on record.

were standing in line when the
polls closed at 7 p.m. were brought
in and allowed to vote. I
