POLLS WILL BE OPEN
FROM 6 A.M. UNTIL 7 P.M.
Returns From Election Will Be Slow,
Owing to Number of Candidates on
the Two Principal Tickets.
The people will today for the first time in Kansas City and throughout Missouri nominate an entire ticket by direct vote at primaries. Polls will be open from 6 o'clock this morning until 7 o'clock this evening, and the balloting will be conducted in accordance with the rules of a regular election. Saloons are to be closed throughout the entire day and until midnight, and there will be no business transacted in the county court house or city hall.
There are so many candidates for the different offices on the Republican and Democratic tickets that the counting of ballots is going to be a slow and laborious undertaking, and it is conceded that the hour will be late before even a speculative conclusion can be reached as to the successful candidates. The election commissioners will not chance a definite hour or date when all the returns from the 168 voting precincts in the city will be in, and the most sanguine of political prophets defer it to as late as Wednesday noon when the last return will be made.
