Show Election Proves Quiet in Gunnison With one of the most delightful fall days and with the spirit of patriotism j predominating, Gunnison came forth on election day and voted. Never in ' the history of the city has such a ' large vote been polled, 483 ballots ' having been cast. District No. 1 with a registration of 347, cast 273 votes, j In district two, there was a registra-! tion of 282, and in this precinct 210 votes were cast. Fayette, won the honors at voting. In that district 97 voters had registered, regis-tered, and when the votes had been tallied it was found that 96 of the 97 had voted. In Centerfield there were registered 317 and the finals showed that 262 had voted. Axtell voters were also loyal and out of 105 i-egis-trations 98 went to the polls and cast a vote for their candidates. Throughout the election was quiet and at the polls there was peace and quiet. In no instance, as far as can be learned, there was never - a challenge chal-lenge and neither party in the city maintained representatives to question ques-tion the rights of the voters. Soon after the polls closed the citizens cit-izens gathered at the Kozi where arrangements ar-rangements had been maintained to receive the state and natioal election returns. Early reports gave evidence of the overwhelming majority scored j during the day for Coolidge and j Dawes. Many, however, remained un- j til the wee hours of Wednesday morn- j ing, hoping to hear the results of the state and county. Due to the scratch-1 ing of so many tickets in all sections the counting was delayed and it was not until late yesterday that the finals were given. There was no evidence of "Johnnie Barleycorn" and there was the absence ab-sence of the young Americans on the street, and altogether the election in Gunnison was extremely quiet. |
