The following is the result of the
township elections held Tuesday, so
far as we are able to ascertain today:
MADISON LAKE-President, w FL
Allyn; trustees, t B Murtaugh, L
Pitcher, VIM Durrin; clerk. E w
Blanding; Treasurer, III S Lewis; JUS
tice, Frank Haskell. The vote on
licence was As for and 4S against. Two
tickets were in the field, and lO2 votes
were cast. The principal con-
test was over the Justice of the
peace. Frank Haskell ran on
the Campbell ticket, and Mr..
McCray on the anti-Campbell ticket.
1t is said to have been the plan of the
ants to have elected Mr. McCray, who
does not have the residence qualifica-
tion to hold the office, and let Julius
Reinsburg continue to hold
the office. No trouble occurred
at the election, and no attempt
was made to serve warrants.
The saloon keepers turned in and
worked hard with the church people
against license. The object of this Is
said to be to deprive the village of the
$500 license fee which each saloon
pays. The village will ostensibly be
'dry'' hereafter.
