WILL NOT TAKE ADVANTAGE
Mayor of East GaIesbnrg Refuses to Hold
Office a second Year Under New Law

At last a politician has becE found
who i conscientious enough not to
force himself upon the people unless
he knows that he Is their choice. and
the village of East GalcSburg lays
claim to this man in no other than
the mayor of their village, John Shep-
ard.
Mayor Shepard Is member of the
citizens party. and when he was elect
ed "a year ago it was supposed that
he was elected for one year only. La
ter il was learned that 10y q law made
previous 10 the election by the state
legislature. the presidents of village
boards shall hold office for the fern
IF two years. and. as i natural TO
upPoSe. it was thought that Mayor
shepard would grasp at the opPor-
tunity TO remain in office.
The village board was given sur
prise few days ago. however. by Mr.
shepard rendering his resignation on
the ground that he was elected a. the
people supposed for only one year.
The board considered the resignation
and then refused to accept IL. Mr.
shepard still refused 10 serve longer
unless the people should elect him IN
legal election, and il now on the
peoples ticket taking his chances
against another candidate.

The election of officers was novel
ana somewhat exciting feature of the
evening. The Australian ballot sys-
tenn WAS enforced. There were two
tickets on the official ballot. which

mittee. The contest. though a close
one, was not marked by any special
disturbance at the polls. The Mug
WumpcrS ticket was elected. with one
exception, that the vice president was
elected by the Greenbaclcrs. The Off
cial count showed tie vote for see

esSary that a second ballot he taken
for these officers. The election re
suited a follows:
