anticipated by all who were in touch
with the conditions of affairs and
public sentiment. The election ol
DIR. w. w. Zimmerman fol-
mayor is no surprise. ~ had
expected it, except the doctor himself
who was somewhat doubtful OF tbs re-
suit when he saw the extremely light

in the contest to go out and vote,
gathered around the places whore the

with eagerness the coming IN OF the
| figures. There was some anxiety on
the part of those who are accustomed
to grow panicky at the last moment,
lest by some strange turn of the public
whim, or by reason of the light vote,
| Zimmerman chances were below par,
and lest some other of the two e4ndi-
dates should slide in by such acctdont.
Abbott was invariably picked ~ the
winner in case Zimmerman should fail
| to reach the goal.

PEELED all doubts, as they did IN the

popular doctor sounded bigger and
