the Republican nominee for coroner

don in the Second. Fourth, Fifth,
Seventh. Eighth and Cache precincts
The belief is that DR.. Gordon was
traded off for Fmnie with the negro
voters

der was chosen central committeeman
over Prof. Snyder.
The Democrats cast a very small
vote throughout the city. only 40 in
the First ward and II in the Sixth,
They had no contest on except over
member of the legislature between
Egpy and Proctor which did not de-
velop much feeling at the polls.
In some of the wards the chal-
lengers were very active, especially
in the Sixth where some of the old |
were made to swear in their |
votes. among them Alderman Cannon
Jailer Lutz and seevral others. among |
them one who has been a Republican |
over 30 years.
Edward J. Maley was chosen a cen
trial committeeman for the Republi- |
cans in the First ward.
