Tumi rvnrrnrn DICTATOR mrtiUAriblLU I1MUII TtLtUIIUPI Only Half of Registered Vote Cast Up to 2 o'clock Many Voters Are Sworn In by Workers Total Vote Expected ic Reach 1500. Out of 1037 votes registered for the city election, 8S8 had voted up to two o'clock this afternoon In tho three wards as follews: First cl, 2fil. Second ward, 391. and Third ward. 230. Of these figure It Is cs tltnatcd that one-third were sworn In by workers. Tho heavy .resldcno and regularly registered voto w!!! bo cast between now and tho closing of the polls. Tho busiest place was tho room where tho registration boaru was in session, It being crowded, prin cipally with citizens waiting to act as witnesses. Tho corrupt piactlco act is being observed more In tho form than tho practice. ' Hrlght sunshiny weather brought out the voters early, though not as heavily as expected. In the Third ward for tho first two hours, a voto a minute was recorded. Up to noon in the second where the heat of the fight Is hottest, a lull came at noon, after a busy morning. A feature ot the morning was the heavy women vote, and the number that were sworn In. The polls will closo at five o'clock, and the rcsuHsvhouldi.b,krown-by six o'clock. That tho entire election may bo void is a contention raised today as the ticket as printed by City Itccordor Foss contains tho title "Citizens Ticket" as a label after the candi dates of tho business men, which Is alleged a violation ot chapter 108 of the laws ot 1913, defining a political party. If tho ballot was Invalidated by this provision, the entire ticket would bo thrown out, except In tho case of the recall election. whcrt so party names are attached. MAKYSVILLK, Cal Jan. 13.
