Doolittle of Grayslake, the first precinet of Avon, goes the honor of being the first to supply election returns. At seven o'ciock Mr. Doo little supplied the vote on president in his precinct. To precinet No. 4 in Waukegan, the armory. goes the credit for being the first precinet to supply complete re-- turns. These returmns came in about 7:20 o'clock. far in advance nf other precinets. The. judges in this pre-- cinct were: John T. Mohan, Dr. Per-- cival Pearce and Rev. Howard Gan-- ster. . MANY QUEER RECQUESTS ' While the big majority of people were interested in the results of the state and national elaction, there were a few whose thoughts were not taken up entirely by the election. For example one man called up while election returns were at red hot heat and wanted to know the present value of the Zmerican dollar as compared to pre--war standards. The Sun supplied him with the infor-- mation. A few minutes later another man called up and wanted to know the present value of Public Service stock. The clerk was obliged to "pass the buck" to Manager "Ted" Blech of the Public Service company. At three o'clock -- Tuesday -- after-- noon, two hours before the polis closed, one woman called up the Sun and inauired how the election was gzoin=@. The clerk explained that not having clairvoyancy powers she was unable to prognosticate results. And the woman at the other erd of the. wirs seemed surprised. | CRAHAM CARRIES PRECINCT "Tom" Graham of Long Lake, dem-- ociratic candidate for the state legis-- lature has the satisfaction of know-- ing that he is a mighty popular man in his own precinet, Grant 1. for he carried it by an overwhelming magt:r- ity. He obtained 1,009 votes in this precinect as compared to 8 votes for Weiss, 72 for Francis, 74 for Jack-- son and 12 for Hayes. M VOTE FALLS OFF One of the surprising features of the election in Waukegan and Lake County was the fact that in practical-- Iy every precinct the vote was con-- siderably smaller than it was at the primary. Some attribute this to the fact that the primary brought several contests in the county ticket which heiped to bring out the vote but why the presidential ands state issue should not have been sufficient to bring out an equaly large vote is not explained. In some precincts, how-- ever, the vote was considerably larg er than at the primary. Comparison of figures shows that William F. Weiss, Lake County Representative in Legislature Re--elected by Huge Majority. Francis and Jackson Also Winners. -- ANOTHER VICTOR yyat the ratio being almost ten to WIN§ Unofficial Lake County Vote at Election N@;4, 1924 NEWPORT ANTIOCH GRANT LAKE VILLA AVON _ WARREN WAUKEGAN SHIELDS BENTON FREMONT, WAUCONOA CUBA ELA VERNON W. DEERFIELO LIBERTYVILLE DEERFIELD in a majority of the local. precinets the total vote cast at the election was much smaller than the number -- of electors on the poll books. In one precinct the number who voted was nearly 200 less than the poll books ed to the large crowd which remain-- ed in front of the office throughout the evening. An enlarged force of clerks in the Sun office were on duty at the telephones and supplied infor-- mation to thousands. The Sun also supplied complete returns . to the Academy theatre so that patrons were able to witness the show and at the same time keep fully fosted on the election. _' showed International News Service sup-- plied the Sun with complete detailed returns of the national and state elec-- tion. These returns were megaphon-- SsUN'S BULLETIN SERVICE. The Daily Sun has receive many compliments over-- the manner in which returns were given to the 'pub- tic. The Sun's new bulletin board, ordered specially for the puTpose, was the largest and most comprehen-- sive ever seen in the city. This was lighted briiliantly by searchlights which had been placed on the oppo-- site side of the street. BIG VOTE EOR WEISS > W. F. Weiss duplicated the feat of "Tom" Grabam in carrying his own precinct by._a decisive vote. In the first.-- precinet in -- Waukegan. Mr. Weiss' own precinect, he recived 1,039 votes as against 370 for Francis, 323 for Jackson, 179 for Craham and 13 for Hayes. . some RETURNS ARE SLOW The Sun has had much difficulty in recent years in getting election re-- turns from the Deerfield and Shields precincts on the same night of the election. and this one was no excep-- tion. There were a fow faithful ones however who deserve particular cred-- Jt and praise. G. L Vetter stuck to his post through the night and got the returns to the Sun as soon as pos-- sible. He telephoned the results at |::3o o'clock this morning. Supervisor J. J. Kelly, of Lake Forest, also stuck to the guns and sent in the results 'tro'm Shields No. 5, lorg after mid-- night. TOTAL John Horen, editor of the Antioch News, was another who stayed up most of the night, rounding up both precinets in Antioch by 3 a. m. THE LIGHTED BULLETINS The Sun is grateful to the Public Service Company for its assistance in lighting the $un builetin boards. On Friday the Sun suggested to man-- ager Blech that some extra lights would help the public read the bulle-- tina more easily in front of the Sam office. "It shall be" said Mr. Blech--and inside of ten minutes he had a man down to see what was wanted. Flood lights from across the street . were suggested and a man was sent to Evanston to bring up two/ huge reflec-- tors with high--powered voltage. They were Installed in' tha attic over Sar-- gent's hardware store and when darkness came on dn the evening, they sent a flood of light across the street to the Sun ofice which trans formed night into day--and . the crowds were able to see the bulletina as never befors. And so, in bebait of the Sun and the public, the Sun thanks the Public Service Company for its cooperation and quick re sponse. And the same with the Chicago Telephone Company. Manager Judd asked Iif extra phones were needed but as there are four trunk lines i the Sun office, it was felt that tho; could handle the reports, BUT, the phone girls were on the job most diligently and gave the public and the Sun election: compllera most ox-- cellent service all evening and far Into_ the: night.

Carl Grant of Deerfleld No. 5, likewise rendered good service in keeping Lake county to the front in election returns. x _A woman called the Sun about 6 o'clock this morning and asked "How did State's Attorney Smith come out?" Justices Wilfred Hall and Louis K. Ekstrand were appointed by' County Clerk Lew A. Hendée on the election tanvassing board. It is expected that the canvast will be completed Thurs-- day. It was the same in the 3rd precinct where the judges kept, an alinight vigil. Assistant Supervisor Ira Hold-- ridge was through with the count in time to go home for breakfast, and then come downtown to buy a morB-- ing paper. / = _ balloting were given as the for the increase. Hairry Hoyt, clerk in the .7th, who. has known the vote there for a num-- ber= of years, declares that the "splits" were greater at this election than ever before, and that candidates on every party received a 'knifeing' from party supporters. This. work was so well disorganized however, that the effect of it could not be nod« ticed to any greal extent. Local interest in the election did not center a@hbout national politics but rather in the state. The crowds took it as a forgone conclusion that Coolidge would win handily. ---- ELECTION S81DE--LIGHTS (Continued from page one) se03 16517) 2805 17446 2172}167/53] COOLIDGE WINS (Continued from Page One.) _ Of the five states that were still con-- omtnmeeinntnitinnmmmayertoiorntition im mommecomomeme, [ SiUGTCG GOUDtSULE~tHHS > TDOFIMDE, ~tWO Utah, Vermont, Washington, West Vir.| W&re considered 'doubtful as between ginia, Wyoming.

To old party leaders this spell-- ed a reaffirmation of that political maxim that "labor cannot be delivered en bloc by its leaders." The American Federation of Labor did this year what it has never before attempted to do-- endorse a particular candidate and get behind him--and the result was a greatly increased popular vote for that candidate, but by no stretch of imag» ination, solid labor voting. * 'The results disclosed too, that La-- [Wl knife was two--edged, that in-- IM of well night wrecking the Re-- publican party, as did Roosevelt's pro-- gressive candidacy, he cut about even-- }ly into both old parties. _ 198 213 347 20 the Indeperdent ticket as solidly as its leaders had hoped. In the East, he hurt the@Detuocrats far more than he did the, Republicans by taking away the normal Democratic labor vote which Wilson always relied on. This was evidenced particularly in such industrial states as Rhode Is-- land and New Jersey. 20 t In the West La Follette hurt the Re-- publicans more than the Democrats. He took his own state, Wisconsin, en-- tirely out of the Republican electoral column, and he cut "heavily into such normally Republican states as Minne-- sota, Wyoming, Iowa and the two Da-- kotas. The future of the La Follette--Inde pendement movement was the subject of keen speculation today wherever politi¢ians were gathered for post--mor-- tems,. It was La Follette's hope to roll up a tremendous popular yote to form the nucleus of a new and permanent third party in , America npolitics.
