Mr. Byrne realiated and knocked his assailant down. Air. E. de Valera spent polling day in his constituency—Clare. Air. AV. T. Cosgrave returned to Dublin from Cork, escorted by members of the Free State Army in an armoured car. There was some intimidation of Cosgraveit.es in the coutry districts; also a considerable number of impersonations of voters, while there were occasional attempts to put Cosgraveite motor-cars out of action by spreading nails on the road, but generally a day of heavy polling concluded with unexpected peacefulness.
