SOCIALISTS CAUSING SCARE (Continued from page 1.) both 'Mr. Walden and .Mr. Rayburn are claiming ylctory. A I Jcli t Vote. During the morning hours voting was extremely slow, but when It was noised about that socialists were quietly and unostentatiously casting a large and solid vote, the otherwise lukewarm politician began to , look about for himself. The very evident result of the premature publlclty to the activity on the part of the socialist, was that the polling places began to dhow more signs of life. Compared with former elections at 3 o'clock tl.ls afternoon, the vote Is light; However, there la yet time to land a big vote be- fore the time of closing the polls to night. The mayoralty race Is quiet except in that phase mentioned. If a custom ary vote Is cast, it is hardly- possible that A. M. Paul can overcome the so cialist minority and score a victor.'. Mr. Sheak Is credited with running neck and neck with Williamson in -.e Fourth ward, drawing even more pub lic uttention than the fight between Walden and Rayburn. F. L. Meyers and A. V. Andrews oi tho Third and Second wards, respect ively, are conceded to be winners over their socialistic opponents. Even at a lato hour this afternoon the Inde pendents are alarmed at the apparent ly solid socialist vote that has been cast. But while the Fourth ward Is said to be Just a little off color", the recent ly-made law Is being closely observed. Occasionally the rule may have been broken in all parts of the city, but on the whole the public and candidates alike hnve refrained from open at tempts at winning votes ou the day of election.
