sioner It. A. Watson as legal assist

cording to an opinion the supremo
court handed down today. Incident
ally Justice Hurnctt, who wrote tho
opinion, flayed Commissioner Watson
for attempting to employ legal as
sistance. Justice Uurnett declared that the
attorney general and tho district at
torneys aro proper officers to give
legal asslstanco or advice to all stato
officers, and if other assistance In
this line is employed It must be done
out ot the individual's own pocket.
The actiou was brought on a wrly

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.
