Voting throughout tho city and
county atarted off In a brlak manner,
Indicating a heavy vote. The elec
tion commlHHioner said ho believed
the vote in Omaha will run ahead of
the Iat city election vote, which was
nearly 21,000, The preparation of
ballots is necessarily n(ow, owing to
the many candidates from which to
make selections.
"I know It took me ten minutes to
cant my ballot, and J was quite
familiar with the candidates," re
marked Ilnrry G. Counsman.
E, A. Hon son stopped to vote at
Fortieth and Farnam streets at 0;15,
tut after malting a whllo and ob
serving the line of waiting men he
decided to return later In the day,
lark of rarllltlea.
Criticism waa made of the lack of
voting facilities provided at most of
the polling places. Four booths
were not regarded as sufficient when
It Is considered that many remain
from ten to fifteen inlnuteg in their
booths. At 11 o'clock the election
commisHloner said ho yma endeavor
ing to get more booths to the voting
placeH, as he admitted he received
many complaints of Inadequate
facilities.
Another oversight of tha election com
mlsloner waa failure to aend water board
ballot to South Omaha precinct. When
this waa discovered by one of the elec
tion board an automobile was rushed
out with tha missing ballots, but not in
time to accommodate some of the early
voters. One explanation of this mistake
waa the statement that perhaps the elec
tion commissioner forgot that Fotith
Omaha, had been merged Into Orcator
Omaha.
Home claimed they had registered, but
the reglstraUon bad not barn entered
upon tho bonk sent to the election
hoards. Home of the complainant did
