One Vote Only.
City Attorney Charles L. Page said
last night In answer to q question Of a
member of tho Board Of Aldermen, that
Mr.. d. l.. Toney, now a member of the
Council from the Second Ward, would
only have to receive one vote in order to
be elected to the unexpircd term in the
Assembly, to which he was elected by
the Council.
HE is the only candidate Of the six
who are running. who filed notice that
he was running for the unexpired term
in the Assembly, and for this reason he
will have to receive only one vote to
be elected" said the city attorney. y
Mr.. Toney, therefore, occupies a
unique position in the political world of
the city He was chosen by the joint
session of the Council to fill the unex
pired term Of Mr.. A. j. Daffron, who
moved from the Second Ward Mr.. DAT
from held the long term, and was there
fore entitled to his seat in the Assembly
q, N~,,,;-
nally and G.. l.. Petit held the short
terms and their terms in office expired
with this election. Both are running
for reelection And along with them
are Nessrs. Welsh Campbell and CAL
lagher. But neither Of these filed n no
tice with Clerk Duval that he was
candidate for the unexpired term. And
Mr.. Toney placed this notice in his APP
plication. Thereby hangs the tall.
That there will be a fight on the ques-
ton there is no doubt In the event that
Mr.. Toney does not receive as many
votes as any one Of the first three
Counting the Ballots.
The Electoral Board of Manchester met
