tives, R. l. Crissey and o. M. Snow was the republican, and R. P. Seymour and Norman Riggs the democrotic candi- dates. The democrats ran MT. Seymour, always before strong republican, and by this thought to defeat MT. Crissey. Some hard work was done on both sides. The vote stood Crissey 142, Snow 154, Seymour 106 and Riggs 92. Every effort was made to defeat MT. Crissey by the democrats, and during the day a split ticket was started with Seymour and Shows names on it, by a young and as- piring republican, ''Poor thing" The remains of his work and with it his hopes for the future were buried at 6 o'clock Tuesday evening without cere- mony. Owing to the force that was brought to bear on Crissey, and hardly any on the rest of the candidates, it was expected that his majority would be small but the majority proves his pop ularity.
