WHO WILL GET
THE TH|MBLE 2
Primary Did Not Settle May
orally Question.
FRANK STRONACH LEADS
Citizens Organization Has Probably Cap ured
Nine Of the Sixteen Aldermen Wilson
City Clerk and Lumsden Tax
Collector.
Who win get the thimble?

Collector.
Who viii get the thimble?
That is still the question, for the city
primary yesterday failed to give anV
candidate for mayor a majority of the
delegates to the convention on Monday,
the 3Oth
Frank stronach received the largest
vote, 511
j. Stanley Wynne was next with 48S.
A. M. Powell, the present mayor, was
third, receiving 400 votes.
Thomas Badger was voted for by Sc
citizens, Charles E. Johnson by 6. A. a.
Thompson, Jos. e. Pogue and w. r.
Dodd got one vote each
According to the rules of the primary
each candidate for mayor, city clerk or
tax collector may appoint one delegate
for every 25 votes east for him, or frac-
tion over II.
The votes cast, as above, gle Stronach
20 delegates, Wynne 10. Powell 16 and
Badger 2. This makes a total of 81 dele
gates. Consequently 20 will be required
to nominate a candidate for mayor.
So it is anybody's fight. 1t may be one
of the three candidates, or it may be an
outsider. Nobody can tell.
AS to the Board of Aldermen at this
early writing it looks as if the Citizens
Organization, or "Reformers," as thew
nine out fthe total of IS.
These are Jas. l. Johnson. John Ward
Lynn Wilder, l.. G. Rogers, r. Red
N M
sibly Fred Habel and A. B. Andrews Jr.
There is some uncertainty about the
last two mentioned, because the returns
nave not yet come in from the Second
Division of the Second Ward. owing TO
a claim that there were more ballots
cast than men voting. 1t was stated that
203 men voted in that precinct. and thar
209 ballots were found in the box fer
aldermen.
For city clerk w. w. Wilson seems To
nave won by a good majority, and the
same may be said of Chas. s. Lumsden
