HEAD THE TICKET
Tuesday Not. 7th was genuine
democratic weather according to
the old Missourians. Either rainy
or snowy weather forecasts demo
cratic Tictory in their political cal
enders. In the Nome district
deep snow drifts and a lively wind
blowing prevented many voters
from arriving from the hills, but
in the city teams flnecombed the
community and brought out a tre
mendous vote, over four hundred
being polled.
Politicians were a busy lot on .
this day, both men and women work j
ed from early morning until late!
at night distributing literature and
assisting their adherants to reach
the polls. It is many years since
such a large vote was registered in
; the city of Nome and Is entirely due
to the extraordinary effort made to
carry the election.
•*Vhe City Hall was filled with ci*.
eitement thruout the open hours for
voting, each voter was scruitinized
and mental reservations made as to
how he oj she would vote. A spec
ial policeman was near at hand to
see that no one violated the law
relative to electioneering within a
prescribed area and also to be at
hand in case any other law was
violated. The statement has many
times been made by Nome residents
that we are the most peaceable
community in the United States and
we live up to our reputation. At
no time was it necessary to curb
unnecessary exuberance or quell
any disturbance.
The polls closed at 7 p. in. and
after eating dinner the election
judges and clerks settled down to
a hard night's work. In this elec
tion there was a Special Ballot for
Women for or against sitting as
jurors and required much more
than ordinary vrork for the judges
in counting the returns. With out
intermission the Judges and clerks
worked until after 2 o’clock Wed
nesday morning before the final
vote was counted. *

lican candidate Fred M. Ayer a

Dick Raelson and Andy Nylen car
ried by comfortable majorities.
John A. Wilson heads the legisla
tive ticket in .Nome by 41.
In the Special Ballot for Women
to act as jurors, 90 votes were cast
with 41 for and 36 against, with 13
blanks. Assuming that the blanks
were cast by those who were oppos
ed to the measure the result would
indicate that the majority of wom
en who went to the polls were op
posed to acting as jurors.

each received 11 votes for Road
’Commissioners, their names having
been written in on the ballot.
