LIVELY SCHOOL ELECTION
Red Hot Cotest Between Rival
Candidates for Director
and Clerk
A. Mckenzie Elected Over
Z. I. Drake Morris Jones
Defeats Watrous
The Women Take a Hand in
the Battle of the Ballots.
A Large Vote

As a rule a school election is a tame
and uninteresting affair, but a lively
exception to this rule was witnessed in
this city yesterday in the hot contest
resulting in the election of Alexander
Mckenzie director, and Morris Jones
clerk of school district No. 4. The con-
test drew to the polls 532 voters, the
largest vote ever polled at a school cleo
ton in the district. Many sovereigns
who felt no interest. in educational
matters, took IA hand in the fight. Last
year only q votes were cast, and at the
recent school bond election only l27
voted.
When the polls opened there was no
indication Of a sharp contest. Indeed,
it is not probable that over one-half of
the 532 who voted had any thought of
going to the polls in the morning or
then knew who the candidates were.
The polls opened at ! o'clock. Alexan-
der Mckenzie and II. f. Drake were
the rival candidates for director to sue
ceed George NJ. SoRelle, and George II.
WatrOus and Morris Jones were the
candidates for clerk Of the board.
Early in the afternoon the rival can
didates let people vote just about as
they pleased, but as the voting pro-
ceeded, each candidate began to harden
in his determination not to be beaten.
Voting became livelier as the afternoon
wore away and the scene about the
N Of
school, where the battle Of the ballots
was fought, became more animated.
Hacks were employed to bring in the
voters whose interest i'm the fight was
not sufficient TO make them walk up
the long hill in the sun. The great |
majority of the voting was done after |
5 o'clock. As the hour Of closing the |
polls approached, the activity increased |
and nearly every bus, hack and car
riage in the city was hurrying to and |
from the polls.
For the first time i'm the history of
Fairhaven the ladies voted and their |
presence at the polls was novel fea-
ture of the election. Mrs. Lizzie |
Hodges and Mrs. Della Blankenship |
were the first ladies to deposit their
ballots, early i'm the afternoon, encour-
aged by their example, about seventy
five women voted during the day.
There are many good stories told
about the experience of the ladies at
the polls. The best one is on Alderman
He was leaving no stone
i'm his efforts to secure the
election of Drake Seeing lady tim
idly approaching the ballot box he po-
litely stepped up and proceeded to cleo
tiOneer her to vote for his candidate.
There was an awkward pause, when he
was informed that the lady was Mrs.
When the votes were counted the
following result Of the balloting was
known.

A. Mclean, one of the pioneers Of
Fairhaven and late master mechanic
of the Fairhaven and Southern rail-

surprise last evening. The employees of
the road made him present of a hand
some silver service rs token of the
high estimation in which he is held by
them, aud to show ther regards for him
personally, and their appreciation as
well of his past management. 1t is
safe to say that the gift was a costly one,
for railroad boys do nothing by halves.
Mr.. Mclean retires from the position

uncertain manner to his great

The commissioner Of immigration
has unearthed a great fraud that is be.
ing perpetrated on the holders Of Da<
kota farm mortgages in the eastern
states by designing parties, which, il
not checked, will certainly result in
permanent and serious injury to the
interests Of the state and the holders
of the securities. The plan is to get
from the mortgage holder descrip-
tion of the land covered by his mort
gage and then have it examined and il
found to be good to offer to the holder
10 to Is per cent. Of the face value for
an assignment. Then is submitted
very highly colored statement Of the
privations Of this section and the
worthlessness of the securities in gem
eral. One case is cited where party
sold a mortgage amounting to about
500 to one of these sharks for $50
and many others where persons accep.
ted the offer, and declare they never
again would hold anything in the state.
