Difficulty in Distinguishing
Meaning of “ Yer* and
VNo” Experienced
Despite the* fact that election
day wan preceded by two holidays,
a fairly * representative vote was
being polled today at the two vot
ing places od the qneetion of
whether the conetruction of the
dam should be postponed or
whether It should be started as
previously planned.
At the library, 185 had voted
at 8 o ’clock this afternoon, while
the elty hall voting judges report
ed 188 had expressed their choice
at that hbur.
Considerable difficulty wen en
countered by many of The voters
distinguishing what yes and no
meant on The ballot. At the library
they had posted a sign. Yes, is
^gainst the dam; No is for the
«lam. At the city hall they had
posted a sign: 100 is for postpone
ment; 101 is against postpone
ment. The judges reported many
had veted contrary to their wishes
until the meaning of the yes and
no was explained to them.
Voting continues until 8 o’clock
tonight.
