FARGO, N. D., April 4-James Ken
nedy is in the saddle in municipal affairs
A. l.. Wall, whom he supported for mayor
won out over j. A. Johnson today by
80. The total vote was 2,225. the largest
ever cast in a municipal campaign, and the
majority was the smallest a mayor ever
received. The campaign was the most ex-
cltlng In a dozen years and every point
was bitterly contested. Kennedys victory
means that he will be able to control
county affairs on local nominations and
will also dictate delegations to the state
conventions. As he is supporting Con-
gresham Spalding, it means that gentle
mans return to Washington.
Aside from the mayoralty results, the
victory OF Socialist candidates for alder
men in the Sixth ward was the greatest
surprise. Treasurer Mitchell won out
over Roberts; Col Geary defeated Cole
for police magistrates; Martin Ryan had
no opposition for city justice, and the
aIdermanic elections resulted in victories
1or Stewart in the First, Early In the
second, Lewis in the Third, Emory in the
Fourth, Stern in the Fifth and Mills in
the Sixth. The council is with Wall.
