Show r lARGE BOND MAJORITY Vote in Favor of Issue Nearly Near-ly Two to One I MAJORITY IS SIX HUNDRED The Proposition to Issue Bonds to the Amount of 3250000 Approved by the Tn pnycrs of the City by a Vet l of 1337 to 737 While jthls is aLight a-Light Vote Compared with that Cast at General Elections it Constitutes a Large Majority of the Taxpayers of the City I I The result of the bond election Is considered an evidence of the good sense and business acumen of the taxpayers I tax-payers of the city The proposition to I authorise the Issuance of 250000 In municipal bonds to defray the cost of the improvements to the water system which are either well under way or to be contracted for as expeditiously as possible was carried by a vote of nearly 2 to 1 There were only 2074 votes cast of which 1337 were for the i bonds and 737 against a majority in I favor of bonds of COO That the vote I was > so light Is a matter of regret yet in view of the fact that only taxpayers I taxpay-ers verft permitted to vote the percentage percen-tage of qualilled voters who expressed I their wishes in the matter was larger than would aecm at first sight While II There nra about 15000 voters at an I election for olllcers in tho city a very large proportion of those are not taxpayers j I tax-payers ciualtlcil to vote at a bond election I elec-tion Tne qualification cuts ort probably prob-ably over yOi per cent of the women 1 voters and about the same proportion 1 of young men who reside with their j I parents so Unit practically the vole j yesterday was confined to heads of iamllicH still It was expected to be I larger Only six voting districts out of the I fiftytwo gave a mujorlty against tim I bonds One of these was No i in the I First precinct one No 35 in the Fourth and four Nos 33 31 35 and Gin I G-in the Third where Arthur Barnes Councilman Fernstvom and Ben T Lloyd live In the Fifth nnd the Second Sec-ond precincts every district went for bondsFRIENDS FRIENDS WERE INACTIVE The friends of the bonding proposition proposi-tion did practically no work believing that the Issue was so plain IL might safely be left entirely with 1 the people Those who stayed away from tilepolls argued that It would carry anyway and as they w I I were quite satiSfIed to have it go that way said that there was no necessity for them to get out and vote Cheap politicians headed by the Herald however were perniciously active They had caused to be struck off a batch of the false statistical I statement published by the Herald on Sunday backed up by a characteristic editorial from that paper At all the polls these lying I leaflets were distributed distribu-ted by men and boys Ben Lloyd was the author and chief executor of that brilliant scheme which however was I productive of little result except In the Third precinct where by the aid of politicians who will sacrltico the good of the people to gain a little party ad vantage the heaviest vote against the bonds was cast A VOTE OF CONFIDENCE As a whole the result of the election is looked upon as a victory for honest business miinmirr < ill j mtintnlno I nffr over the chicanery and tricks of the J petty politicians It Is a vote of con fidence in the administration whIch shows that the people believe there is 110 danger In intrusting the exptiidi lure of the money to the present Mayor and City Council In several of the districts the booths did not arrivi until away late in the afternoon and when the old express man and his onehorse wagon drove up and the allendant proceeded lo un I r load and carry in the booths he was guyed unmercifully by the Judges AvJio had to have some diversion Sio ex press wagon arrived at the Fifth pre cinct at about 5 oclock Take them UAvay we have no use for them shouted the Judges and Mrs A H Little the lady judge seemed to think that putting up booths at that hour WfiS u thing that never would have happened had the mailer not been left to tho sex that cannot even mall a iei ter on lime A noticeable feature of ihe day was I that but few voters were Inclined to conceal the way in which they voted Tile presence of the booths in the dis trIcts n where tlK y werc absent would hac had no other effect as the voters were very free In discussing their votes I and the reasons why they were cast THEY VOTED RIGHT Councilman J J Thomas was one of Srnrivi interested FIrsthis
