The Birmingham age-herald., 1904-11-22
Result of the Police Commission Race Appears in Doubt and Second Primary Will be Necessary to
 Name the Members of Board.
Large Majority in Favor of Placing the Names of City Officials on the Regular Ballot in Fu-
 ture Primaries.

Eighth ward there was intense excite ment around the polling place. Up to two days before the primary Alderman Gray did not know that he had opposition and had made no canvass of his ward. MT. Cooper's vote was a great surprise even to his friends as he had but two days in which to begin and end a campaign. His name was not printed on the ticket and had to be written on by the voter.
 MT. Gray Makes Statement. Mr Gray last night gave out the fol- lowing statement
 T wish to thank all of the voters of the Eighth ward for the very cordial sup port given me yesterday Not knowing that I had any opposition until the Sat urday before the election, l was not able to even ask my friends to help me. Therefore, 1t was all the more appreciated that all stood by me. In the future, as in the past, I am the alderman for the whole ward and when I can serve any one I shall take pleasure in doing so." In the Sixth ward it was nip and tuck all day between Chambers and Fulghum, but the later finally won by thirteen votes.
 Following Is the vote by wards, at some of which the managers and clerks did
