of six on their city ticket yesterday,
out lost the most important Office, that
of mayor. Mr.. Carey being elected by
small majority. Mr.. McGrin. demo-
cratic, was also elected alderman in
the second ward. Of the city officers
the republicans elected, solicitor, w.
M. McLennan; treasurer, c. L. Voss;
assessor, A. J. Bond: and to the coun-
Gil George o. Davis from the irst ward
and j. G. Wygant from the third ward.
The coming council will therefore re-
main as before, five republicans and
one democrat. We regret sincerely
that two such young men of sterling in
tegrity and business ability were the
victims of the campaign. We do not
agree with some who profess to believe
that the election OF Mr.. Carey means
wide open town. We believe that Mr.
Carey will give the city fair and hon
est administration. While we hoped
to see Mr.. jackson elected we have
never felt for one moment that the in
terests of the city would be jeopardized
by the election of Mr. Carey, and our
only surprise was that he should allow
the use of his name as against so
worthy an opponent. The vote of con-
idence which the people gave to Mr..
Burch must be hattering to that gentle
mans self-esteem. Mr. A. j. Bond
was elected assessor by large MAORI
ty, due not only to personal following,
but also to the fact that the Bulletin,
without the knowledge or consent of
Mr.. Branaka, practically withdrew
This was most unprecedented thing
as Mr.. Branaka after having accepted
the nomination at the hands Of his
party was certainly entitled to the fair
support of the party organ whether he
happened to be employed by the demo-
cratic editor or not.
We believe that Messrs Davis and
Wygant will prove valuable men on
the council and will be credit to
themselves and to their constituents.
MIR. Phillip Lochmiller did not have
a fair opportunity in the second ward
A large element of the voters of that
ward wished the election of Mr. Cary.
1t was agreed that they should support
| McGrin ia return for his frit nds' earn
est work for their favorite for mayor.
For this reason many who would under
other circumstances have preferred Mr.
Lochmiller voted the straight demo-
cratic ticket.
Those interested N the liquor traffic
Carey, but we wish to give them credit
for making their fight open and
above all board For our own part we
have no criticism save for those upon
whom the republicans had just claim
on account of party favors heretofore
extended to them. We have never
known one instance where such tactics
have been OF permanent benefit to those
employing them. AS might be expected
the democrats of the city have already
sent forth their shouts of self applause
and claim this is a great partisan
victory. IL certainly will have the
effect of strengthening the democratic
organization in this city and should be
a source for thoughtful consideration
on the part of those republicans who
go to caucus and assist in making the
nominations and then desert their
nominee.
We sincerely trust that Mr.. Carey
may give to the city a thoroughly good
administration and we pledge to
him our support for every measure for
the good of the people and for the up
building of our town. There is plenty
of work for us all without the rancor
of partisan politics entering in and for
such purposes the REVIEW will be as
loyal in it's support of Mr. Ca ey
as it would have been in it's support of
Mr.. jackson had he been elected.
