GEORGE NJ. FISHER, REPUBLICAN,,
is ELECTED MAYOR OF THE CITY
Other Officials at Head Of Republican Ticket Are Elected
But City Council Is Lost to Democrats bya
Narrow Margin Of One Vote

Sparks OF his hard fought victory, but
Republican officials will give Mr. Sparks
able assistance in resisting any Demo-
crate effort TO go behind the face OF the
returns.
Harry r. Smiths election to Council
from the Eleventh ward returns him to
that body for the eighth consecutive time.
His majority is a reduced one. an indi-
cation that he is not so popular among
the workers in his ward as heretofore. Mr..
Smith has made an excellent official, how
ever.
Thomas e. Postles enjoys the distinction
Of being the first colored man to be
elected to Council
The retiring City Council stands ten
Democrats and three Republicans; the
new body will have seven Democrats and
six Republicans.
The new Republicans are Nlessrs. Blaine,
Sparks, Simmons Postles and Morris.
The two new Democrats in Council will
be Joseph McCafferty, Charles NJ. zebley
The Prohibition vote shows an increase
Of less than ten over two years ago, when
it was 60 for the mayoralty nominee
The total vote polled was 12,239 as COM
pared with total vote Of 9,777 polled two
years ago
An examination Of the returns of the
last election shows that had the Republi'
can vote been united at that tiine the can.
didate for mayor would have received a
vote OF 5,299, or 1O22 fewer votes than
given George NJ. Fisher yesterday. Mayor
Fahey received a total vote Of 1850 and
won by a majority Of $50 votes.
Mr.. Whiteman's vote Of Saturday to-
tailed 5siS. These figures indicate either
that each party has added many voters
to its rank since the last city campaign,
or that little or no apathy characterized
the respective party voters OH Saturday.
The former belief is the more generally
accepted
