THE CITY
The election in Crystal Falls city
last Monday was a very tame affair.
owing to the fact that the result had
been determined at the primaries held
the Wednesday previous.
There were close to 300 votes polled
but only 2l5 show mp in the tally be-
cause Of the action of the voters In
splitting their tickets even though
there was no opposition.
Webb lead the city ticket with w.
X. Dawson next. The Republican
state ticket, as usual. lead by a big
majority.
The amendments did not fare as
well, owing doubtless to the fact
that but very small proportion of the
voters understood them They all
carried maiorities for the affirmative
but in the LIST Ward the proposition
TO allow the teaching Of trades in the
states prison was defeated by small
majority.
The result in the city is AZ follows:
