DECKERITES WON.
Ring Douned Beautifully
in the Eighth
Ward.

In spite of overwhelming odds and
obstacles placed before them by the Re
publican ward bosses, the machine forces
We're downed good and hard in the Eighth.
This ward the home of Chairman Edward
Woolley of the Republican County Com
snittee repudiated the ring and elected
fourteen committeeman who are pledged
10 clean politics.
The blow came like a death knell to the
machine leaders. They realized that the
ward was lost to them and they were
shorn of all their power. The master Of
the field, is George w. Decker. who as
pires to be chairman of the County Com
mttee. His chances are not SO bad.
Edward Woolley and John H. Weastell
are dethroned from their exalted position
OF ward leaders. BY the victory, the
Deckerites captured the ward association,
the controlling body of the ward.
The fight was close. 1t was fought and
contested every minute of the two hours
allotted to the voters to cast their ballots
And it was fought out on lines laid down
by the ring leaders. Several times the
regulars refused to allow the Deckerites
possession of the enrolment books, des-
pite the fact that the money was put up
to play for copies of them in conformity
with the provisions of the constitution
Some time ago the Ward Association
passed resolution favoring separate
primaries. Subsequently the machine
men got together and rescinded this reso-
luton and passed one favoring joint prim-
aries. This trick was condemned At the
Ward Association meeting Monday night,
John H Weastell moved that one ticket
be prepared and voted for throughout the
ward. The vote should then be canvassed
in the rooms of the Wanser Club and the
results ascertained there. A protest was
raised, but it went through. Now the
Deckerites are pleased that it was so de-
cided, for instead of running at the sep
arate primaries they were enabled to
carry the ward
The First, Second, Third and Fourth
precincts were joined and the polling
place was at No. 151 Monticello avenue.
The Seventh, Eighth and Tenth precincts
were also merged into one and the vote
recorded at No. 4s Ege avenue. The Fifth,
Sixth and Ninth precincts were separate
As far as can be learned the only evi-
dence of row was at the polling place
presided over BY John H. Weastell. Here
