The foregoing figures tell the tale of
yesterday's eiectioi in this city. The,
first seven of those in the list of coun- 1
cilmen, H. B. Dunn, W. B, King, E. J.
Shaw, W. A. Remick, J. A. Nettles, C. !
A. Diers and Luke Mc.^ratn, were |
elected. F. Wurzbacher was the
successful randidate forschool director.
The fictory for the citizens' ticket was
almost complete. It lost only one can
didate.
There was much scratching, the ^
stral.ht tickets cast, for councilmen j
being less than 100. The citizens' i
ticket received 52 of these the indepen
dent, 26, and the labor, 14. The citi- '
zens' tic ;et received an average plural
ity of 90 over the independent ticket
and about the same ever the labor
ticket.
The labor party, under the skillful
leadership of Chris Shea, played a very
important pert in the election and came
nearly electing its leader to a place on
the council. He was only 12 votes be
hind Luke McGrath, and eight ahead
of E. M. Culbertson.
Considering the fact that E. J. Shaw
wui on only one ilcket he made what
was probably the most romarkable run
of any of the coucilmanic candidates.
Inter' it In School Conteit
There was a great deal of interest
manifested in the school contest. The
women took a spirited interest in it and
voted to the number of 74. F.B.Wurz
bacher came within four of getting as
many votes as bjth of his competitors.
Cnptulai of thu Battle
While there was no close canvass
made of the towo, the interests of all
three tickets were in competent bands.
N. W. Watson marshalled the forces
for the citizens' party and was wherever
there were "thiDgs doing." H. C.
Bowman, chairman cf the central
committee for the independent party,
was at work all day for his
ticket and he overlooked nothing.
He smiled on everyone and ad
monished them to vot-.i the indepen
dent ticket, "and vote it straight and
often." ChriB Shea managed the des
tinies of the labor party and he man
aged well. He saw that bis following
was infoimed and that it voted.
In Churg" at th-> Poll*
E. A. Murpby, A. McGee and H. D.
Clark were the judges of the election
and F. A. Callarman and H. F. Taylor
clerks. They made an efficient election
board and turned away several who
offered to vote but who could not make
good as to qualifications. Whenever
they were in doubt as to anyone's right
to vote he was promptly challenged.
They countt d the votes quickly, com
pleting their work within about, two
hours after the polls closed.
Vote Was
Though there were no carriages In
use and no organized effort made to get
out a full vote, 385 persons exercised
the right of citizenship. Bad all the
voters responded there would hare
been many more,
The successful candidate; will become
officers of the city as soon as they shall
have taken the oath of office. They
will probably' not do that until aext
Monday night.
