MR.. FRENZEL TRIUMPHANT
He Succeeds in Electing His Own Men
as Members of the School Board.
Russo in the Fourth. Roth in the Seventh and
Adam in the Eighth Is the Way 1t Stands
Men Voted Fraudulently.

Never In the history of Indianapolis has
an election for school commissioners called
out so large a vote as that of yesterday.
Usually elections for this important Office
caused little interest, and it is not infre-
quen:Iy the case that q single aspirant ap-
pears who Is elected without opposition,
and by only two or three score of votes. 9
The contests in the three districts in
which elections were held yesterday were
exceedingly warm. In the Seventh district
the candidates were Mr.. Buddenbaum, who
appeared for reelection, who was opposed
by Mr. Roth, who was recognized
as one of the three candidates In
whose success John P. Frenzel has more
than q passing interest. The Roth ad-
herents were out In full force and vigor.
The Seventh district school-yard and side
walks swsrmed with patriots with Roth
tickets, while numerous vehicles were en-
gagged in bringing the Roth voters to the
poll
A similar state of affairs prevailed in the
Eighth district where Charles Adam, q
young man brought out, it is understood. in
Mr.. FrenzePs interest, opposed f. L. Will
Jams, who appeared for reelection to a
position In which he has given good
service. In this district the brewery
and saloon men were exceedingly
active. working for Mr.. Adam,
and early in the day Mr.. Williams was of

but that the wagons had picked up voters
wherever they could lind them. 1t was
useless to challenge any vote, and every
ballot presented went into the box.
The Fourth district had three candidates,
and from the interest taken in the election
any one not otherwise informed would
have supposed full county ticket was in
the field Three candidates appeared, Mr..
Denny and Mr.. Mauer, both Of whom are
Republicans, and Henry Russo. the last
named . well-known Democratic politician
and who was given out TO DO the choice Of
MIR. Frenzel for the position. A number of
well-known Democratic workers from 9TH
or school districts were on hand TO as
those was Albert Sahm. of the Second
ward, who appeared to have charge Of the
Russo forces. Several spirited disputes oc-
Cured during the day In this district, one
of them resulting In a knock-down: There
ives large colored vote, most of which
went TO Mr.. Mauer. The trouble in
this district appeared to be in q
superfuity OF Republican candidates, and
while the contest between Mr.. Mauer and
Mr.. Denny was conducted in q good
humored way thcre seemed to be no easy
road by which either could retire to leave
the other to face Mr.. Russo and the From
eel influence alone.
As was to have been expected, Mr.. Fren-
Zefs candidate in each district was
elected. In the Fourth district q total of
1880 votes were cast, of which Henry Russo
received 7O5; Henry Mauer 40, and Samuel
Denny 1G5. kusse was elected. In the
Eighth district frenZel made his influence
felt and the result was the election of
Charles Adam. The total vote cast was
1,oS2, of which Adam received !, 22S, and +.
G. Williams, the present memb Der. 654.
In the Seventh district Roth was also
elected, defeating MIR. Buddenbaum for re-
election. Roth received 537 votes and Bud
denbaum 200 out of q total of 736
