their primary yesterday and nominated
candidates for the various municipal
offices. The ticket selected by the
party is a strong one in every respect
and bids fair to achieve success at the
election TO be held early in April. The
polls were open from l p. N. until Z
p. m. and the vote cast was as large,
| if not little larger, than upon any
previous similar occasion. The con-
tests for Council in the Second, Third
and Fourth wards and for Recorder
| and Street Commissioner were lively
and interesting, each candidate striv-
ing to get out as large a vote as pos
sible. The votes polled in the Sec
| ond and Fourth ward were exception
ally large and the First ward made a
rather good showing. Joseph F. Ward
and George w. Furbee are candidates
for Mayor and Marshal respectively
and Samuel Munas and Joseph Lubic
as candidates for Council in the First
ward, had no opposition and therefore
comparatively little interest was man
ifested as far as these offices were
concerned.

Higgins won out, securing 255 votes,
against his opponent, Maurice Fender
CAST, who received 126 votes. The
