COON AGAIN MAYOR.
Attempt Made to Defeat Councilmen
at Port Townsend.

PORT TOWNSEND, Dec. 9.-The
city election held here brought out but
a small vote, there being only one
ticket in the field An attempt was
made during the late hours of the af-
ternoon to beat the candidates of the
citizens convention for councilmen
from the second and fourth wards.
Messrs NJ. Gerson and l. Katz. This
work was carried on very quietly and
many of the voters of these wards
were not aware of what was going on.
The vote polled by this faction was
brought out late and was evidently in
tended to take the regular candidates
unawares. The move was blocked
during, the last hour before the polls
closed by the bringing out of stay-at-
homes who voted the regular ticket.
Printed stickers were employed by the
dissatisfied faction.
The ticket elected, which is the
same as that nominated by the recent
citizens convention, follows: Charles
E. Coon mayor; A. w. Buddress, city
attorney; A. F. Learned, city clerk; L.
T. Seavey, health officer; P. Mutty,
councilman at-large; T. J. Tanner,
councilman for the first ward; M. Ger
son, councilman, second ward, and l.
Katz, councilman, fourth ward.
