Second Ward Contest.
In the Second ward the contest for the
American cOunCilmanic nominations took
the form Of a straight fight between
BransfOTd and Lippman supporters. Llpp-
man had fewer delegates than the BranS-
ford people had conceded him.
Councilman z. 6. ODOnnell and Cap
tain c. II. Reed, both strong BTans1ord
men, were nominated for the council and
Councilman George H. RaybOuld and E
c. Allen, both Lippman men, were de-
feated by a decisive vote.
There We're indications that Llppman
was losing his delegates. An example or
formerly a Lippman man, placed Captain
c. H. Reed, a BransfOrd man, IN noml-
nation for the council.
The first contest was between Council
men +. @. O'DOnnen and George H.
RaybOuld. Each councilman wished to be
selected for the long term The BranS-
ford men were for O'DOnneu and the
Lippman men for RaybOuld- Mr.. y Don
nell received 81 votes and Mr.. RaybOuld
%. This appears to be about the way the
Second ward will divide its vote between
Bransford and LIppman.
For the short term the candidates were
{. II. Reed, E. @ Allen and George H.
RsybOuld. Mr.. Reed received q votes
Mr.. Allen, "a, and Mr.. Raybould, %.
