New Richmond, Wis.-Election is over.
and William E. AIcNally is elected mayor
by 50 majority. 1t was one of the hard
est fought municipal elections held in
this city for many years. The Citizens

democrats, while the other was a straight
Republican ticket. 1t is needless to say
that hard work was done on both sides.

the officials-elect will give as good an
administration as the present one has.
