THE DAY IN
ESTANCIA
Yesterday was an ideal day for
election, thé weather being more
pleasant than for several days
past The farmers were in town
n f u force and the V)ting whch
began early in the day continued
with very little abatement all
day long. The workers were on
all si les, each one ready with a
sticker for his personal favorite,
and the stickers were used ga
lore. That the counting of the
votes was to be a long drawn P'jt
affair, was shown early 'in the
game by the nurooua stickers
called for on. all sides.
Verv few straight ballots were
cast. Tho inquiries in regard to
the bl'ie ballot showed early that
t vouid carry in the Estancia
prctíirc- by a large majority.
Evidently the people of this pre
cinct do not believe in being hog
tied and double-crossed for the
rest of iheir natural lives.
