Cast Nome In
Gen. Election
Yesterday’s general election, de
spite a rainy gusty day. brought
out the largest number of voters
in Nome precinct in recent years.
The election insofar as Nome was
concerned was hotly contested,
with numerous cars placed at
the disposal of the voters, which
no doubt assisted materially in
producing such a good sized vote.
Both political parties and nu
merous friends of the various
contestants toiled early and late
on behalf of their favorites.
Little Creefk precinct, four mil
es from town also produced a size
able vote.
Returns have arrived during
the day from nine of the twenty
two Second Division precincts,
and the tabulations appear in
this issue of the Nugget.
These tabulations will be
ed to as additional returns
in—this for the convenience ai,u
information of our subscribers.
It should be remembered that
these published election results
are not official—they are merely
transmitted to the reading public
as received by telegram from the
outlying districts, and it will
doubtless require several weeks
before the official result of yes
terday’s election becomes known.
The result on the liquor refer
endum from the ten voting pre
cincts, including Nome, is 347 for
and 447 against.
