A Big Surprise for School
Directors.
The Board Evenly Divided, but the
Republicans Will Still Retain
the Patronage.

There was some difficulty in opening the
vault which contains the election returns
yesterday morning and the canvass on that
account was delayed for over an hour.
When lunch time came only three precincts
had been counted and in the afternoon four
more were added to the list, leaving only
five precincts TO complete the canvass
The great surprise was the defeat OF II.
j. Stafford for School Director. The semi
official returns placed MIN well up in the
procession and 1t was considered as very
improbable that the official count would
prove that he did not get sufficient votes to
place him on the School Board. Very little
attention was given to his fight and when
the tally clerks yesterday morning totalled
up the votes for few Of the School Dlrec-
tors and 1t was learned that Stafford was so
far behind that 1t would be impossible for
him TO catch up in the few precincts un-
counted. good deal of surprise was shown
by those who were looking for patronage
from the new School Board
