Show Campaign For City Posts Brisk As Election Nears i Incumbents Tell of Achievements; Achieve-ments; Opponents Appeal For Support Quickening interest in the municipal election on Tuesday, November 4, is reflected in the registration of 62 new voters in district No. 334 and 88 in district dis-trict No. 335 on registration dates October 14 and 28. This is no inconsiderable in-considerable number when it is remembered the total number of voters in the book in district 334 is 791 and in district 335 there Jen 1 : : 1-1 . Y, ... are uju engiuie voters, negisirars, Mrs. Ellis Boren of lower Bingham Bing-ham and Mrs. J. J. Doyle of upper up-per Bingham, say that there are a number listed in both districts known to have their residences elsewhere or who for other reasons rea-sons will not exercise their voting vot-ing privileges. Addition of the new names, persons who have registered for the purpose of voting in the municipal mu-nicipal election, takes on significance signifi-cance as a respectable percentage percent-age when it is considered that in the municipal election of 1937, the last in which two parties contested con-tested for city control, there were 1157 votes cast, 625 in district 334 and 532 in district 335. Experienced local politicians estimate that the number of ballots bal-lots cast in this election will be less than the heated election of 1937. Voting in the two districts is always heavier in a presidential presiden-tial election. In 1940 there were 1352 ballots cast, 678 in district 334 and 674 in district 335.
