MCPHERSON.
Mcpherson. KAN April S.-The city
election passed off very quietly a large
vote being polled. There was no es-
pecial issue, both candidates stood for
law and order and it was largely q
question of personality and the ap-
pointees of Mayor Cottingham that Gre
ated any interest. Besides there has
been aa organization known as the law
and order or temperance element in
control of the city's affairs for years
and all opposition to their candidates
had been inapprOpriately and wrong
fully dubbed the wet candidates This
state of affairs had become monotonous
and Wearisome in the extreme and
there seemed to be a concerted action
to rebuke these so-called reformers.
1t was this together with the unpop
ularity of some of the appointees of the
present mayor, Cottingham that caused
his defeat at yesterdays election by
William J. Krehbeil of the Mcpherson
Republican by a majority of III votes.
Mr.. Krehbiel carried three out of four
wards in the city
