AT 3:30 o'clock this after noon the vote for both sides is about even. The antis are holding their own in third and fourth both big "commis sion" precincts. The chances are that they will gain largely in the sixth and they have al ready gained about 10 votes in the first. The second is about an even break, with probably slight odds for commission.

Both sides are put ting up ft hard fight, the com mission advocates and, the anti commission people have fine or ganizations and it is one side pittied strongly against the other. Many of the repubh cans as, was ' predicted, are supporting commission govern meiit. ' Many of the business houses and all of the banks were closed during the morning hours and there were plenty of workers at the poll 8 for, both sides. The largest vote so far was cast in the third precinct with a ma jority of 90 in favor of commrs sion government. Practically all the voters are casting open halots and it is remarkably easy to ascertain the strength cast. The first, fifth and sixth pre cincts are giving big majorities against the commission form; the second is an even draw, while the third and fourth are giving the -big majorities for commission government.

A strong campaign wns waged but It was recognised early In the day that the opposition had the best of the fight. They had perfected a strong organization, although backed by rep-1 resentutlve men, was helpless when it came to getting out the vote. The election wa full of personalities and to a certain extent there was a sharp drawing of the Daniels and anti-Daniels lines. The commission advocates attribute the defeat of their measure to the fact that the legislature elim inated from the Kalelgh charter the Initiative and referendum and left the grantllng of franchise a at present, except by the thr commissioner In stead of the eight members of the board of aldermen. The opposition contended that th modification of the Kalelgh charter abolishing ward lines, and while giv ing each ward a representative on the Mme of my friends have besought me board, electing him by the city whole, would give to Raleigh a much better government than the proposed commission form.
