primary election, but if for any reason said notice shall not
be given in the manner herein prescribed, such failure shall
not invalidate this Act or prevent its taking effect, if ap-
proved. If it shall appear from the returns of said election
that a majority of the voters voting thereon have voted for
the Act, then said Act shall be deemed to have been ap-
proved, and shall thereupon become in full force and effect;
