The vote polled for Mayor at the Demo.
cratic primaries amounted to 100, while
that for City Solicitor was 1884, or about
700 more than was polled for Mayor. The
president of City Council was the lightest
being 1895, which was within two Of be.
ing 1000 less than that put in the ballot
boxes for City Solicitor and over 400 less
than that polled for Mayor. The total
vote for City Treasurer was about 300 more
than that pollod for Mayor and about 800
less than that put in for City Solicitor.
There is some discrepancy in the vote
which was pOlled for City Solicitor and
for Mayor. Perhaps some Of the boys voted
twice for these two officers. The Repub.
hcaus have more voters registered than
the Democrats, and by united party, the
Republicans will sweep everything before
