In fact many did not seem to know or care that an election was being held at all, while others would walk straight past the polls and did not take interest enough to stop and vote. And this too at what should be considered one of the most important elections held. The following ib the vote reoeived bv the different candidates: For Supreme Court--Bonjanita R. Sheldon, 175 votes.
