As shown above, there were few
changes as the result OF the primary cleo
ton in Manchester yesterday COM
puratlvely full vote was cast or an eligl-
Bile list Of 47O, the total vote cast was
400. For the mayoralty 400 votes were
cast, indicating that there were Just seven
scratches for that ticket.
Everything went off quietly and both
Alderman Bnrrett and Councilman Nun
nally accepted their defeat as gracefully
as they could under the circumstances.
The defeat Of both these gentlemen
came as a surprise to their supporters.
1t was almost a foregone conclusion that
Mr. Jones would be chosen from the
First Ward, and the fight seemed con-
centrated on Mr.. Nunnally. who lost by
SIX votes. Mr.. Jones, who was not en-
dorsed by any but his friends, won out,
and headed the First Ward ticket.
Mr. Petit, in the Second Ward. had the
full combination against him. He was
the only incumbent out for reelection,
and succeeded in pulling through. despite
the strong opposition. The principal right
against him was that he was a non
property holder He and his friends arc
very proud of his signal victory.
