Otto Ecksteiu Meets Him in the Field
Of Contest For Legislative Horors
and Lays Him Out-Rule Adopted
That Voters Must be Registered
Did 1.-THE Delegates.

Otto Eckstein defeated Joe Henley
in the First ward last evening by ma
jority of 50.
1t was considered a waterloo by the
Henley forces as bets were offered at
in the ward.
Promptly at o'clock the forces of
both sides were in the field drawn up
against each othe,dn battle array.
The first test OF strength was in the
organization of the primary election
board. Frank oliver as committeeman
claimed the right to organize the board
and this claim was stoutly resisted
by Mr.. Henleys side. Mr.. Oliver then
proposed 10 submit it to the voters pres
ent and after some discussion it was
agreed that each side elect a,3udge and
that the two elected should name the
third man. This was done and Mr..
Ecksteins friends had the board.
This done. Mr. Oliver used some
clever tactics in having a rule passed
that none be allowed TO cast a ballot
but registered voters of the ward. The
register book or copy of il, was pro-
cured and the rule was strictly adhered
to. Mr.. Henley presented to the vo-
tiers the following list of delegates and

Frank oliver led the contest for
Eckstein and Frank Burt led for Hen
ley. 1t was as pretty a fight for a dele
cation as has ever been made in the
first ward. Both sides fought hard but
in good humor and there was not jar
Or an unpleasant word uttered on eth
er side. This is the way il went for
three solid hours and when the polls
closed Henley's chiefs acknowledged
Ecksteins success. Neither side, how
ever. had any idea that the majority
would be so great.
In the sixth ward there was but one
ticket in the field and that one is said
to be favorable to John Kelley, for rep
resentative. At any rate they will go
