Indications are that the vote In
the democratic primary election to
morrow will lie the heaviest In tho
history of primary elections in Ashe
villc. There Is keener Interest mani
fested among the democrats this year
than for years past; there is a greater
reaistration old ami new than ever
before, and, in the meantime, the
friends of each and every candidate
are on the alert anil determined to in
duce to the polls Just us many voters
as posBlble.
Throughout the city today there has I
been little discussed snve tne primary
election tomorrow. The candidates
for nomination and the friends of the
candidates have worked like bees all j
day, und, it Is evident, this work wil!
continue until the polls close at 8
o'clock tomorrow evening.
The polls will open at 1 o'clock to
morrow afternoon and remain open
nntll 8 o'clock In the evening. Every
democrat registered for the primary
is entitled to vote and notwithstanding
some talk of fraudulent registration
and fraudulent voting during tho past
quarter of a century in the fifth pre
cinct or nny other precinct and that
private detectives have been employed
to watch the alleged fraudulent vot
ers, the friend? of the candidates re
main unterrtlied and, it Is expected,
the full strength will be polled at
practically all the vet ing places.
The primary ticket thut will be pre
sented to the voters tomorrow after
noon at 1 o'clock will contain the
following names.
