The polls were held in the police court room. Just think, a room as fine as any public room in this city; Georgia pine wainscotted, an oak desk on a neat dais for the judge, nice oak chairs for jury and counsel, a side door into the jail with its four steel pens in the center of the big, well lighted, heated and ventilated room, a clerk’s office as nice as a Chicago office with basement 8 feet in the clear, all cemented bottom and dry, walls 12 and '16 inches thick for' partitions, and 22 solid brick for out- side and a council chamber very much larger than ours would be if that old, dark tank rooin was taken in.‘ The contrast between theirs and mus was something of a shock.
