The contest was marked by the best of
feeling. The election was, in the. main.
honestly conducted and but few sores
are left on the Democratic body polite in
New Castle county. The close vote in
many instances evidences the interest
taken in the selection Of men for place

The interesting fight here was on the
representative branch. The candidates
were j. Harvey Spruance, the we'll known
young pharmacist, and William L.
Kurtz, equally well-known as rising
young journalist of this city. Both men
were popular and polled large votes. Mr.
Spruance however, was in the
field several weeks before Mr. Kurtz
thought of becoming a candidate. AS
consequence his fences were all up and
strongly defended before Mr.. Kurtz be-
gan his assault upon them. This gave
Mr.. Spruance a majority of BAT, in a total
vote of of A 63j. Mr. Spruance received
2, 1856 votes and Mr.. Kurtz 2, 1870
Spruance received his best support in
the Second Third, Fourth, Tenth and
Twelfth wards. In the Tenth he re-
ceived 660 votes against 1913
Kurtz was particularly strong in the
First, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth,
Ninth and Eleventh wards, but allowed
Spruance to beat him in the Fourth
which was his own ward The
Tenth ward told the tale, however, and
Spruance evidently knew where Demo
Gratis grew and voted for man who was
