That is the result of Tuesdays cleo.
ton In. n nutshell.
Election day throughout was one oi
the most quiet. Not thing occurred
out of the ordinary and in tho even.
ing, the streets were de,erted early
There was no iollincation and even
the man who insists upon giving
vent TO his enthusiasm by yelling him
self hoarse waA conspicuous nv his
absence. All was serene and few ueo.
pie seemed TO know tnat nuytnin;;
out of the ordinary had taken place
or was taking place.
A few faithful ones fingered about
the different places where returns
wero being received. but tbey were
very modest. a niece ,,f as,,,pish,nc

whistle or a few ''Wnat do you think
Of that?" Ie
RETURNS Slow 10 Yr.unI
For awhile during the early part OF
the evening IL app >lrad from the way
the count was proceeding and the re.
turns were being sent into headuuar-
ters that an all niynt vigil would
not be necessary ana those wht. I'm
gered saw visions of downy beds into
which they hoped 10 repose nor later
than midnight, but one or two rre.
cincts hanging fire csusel tho visions
to vanish and old sol 1vas neening
over the eastern ,horiz)n pefors the
last precinct hal .eporred aud the
final totals wero nladr.
1t was generally conceded all dur
ing the campaign that the apathy
which characterized 1t would continue
until election day and a large vote
was not expected, but there is no
way of telling just how large a vote
Eas out at the pools. The returns
showed that in some precincts. q num-
ber Of persons voted for the head of
the ticket and no others. while in
other sections, men cast their ballots
for all candidates except the heads
of the ticket so that 1t becomes i'm
possible TO tell how many votes were
cast.
Setter Wins by 308
The general apathy which chara-
cterized the whole campaign contin-
ued to the last and there were ,a,y
who would venture a prediction as
to the outcome of the fight for mayor.
Dr Setter made some very phenom-
eaal gains in some parts of the city
ana when the total was made, IL
was discovered that ne had secured
q majority OF 36S.
Ja Oh! You Elliott!
The most spectacular race was
made by Harry s. Elliott for city
auditor Mr.. Elliott accomplished a
feat which was probably never ,ac-
complished before and will not be
eaualed in years to come. Not a
single precinct In the city, but was
carried by the young Democrat In his
tace for reelection.
me race between John Himmeger
and Elmer 7. Boyd was little more
exciting, but Mr.. Boyd won out with
handsome majority of 476.
Claude ID. Walters was elected by
majority of 401 and for the next two
years he will have charge OF the
funds of the city. The vote given Mr..
Walters is a very handsome compli-
ment to his way of transactng the
business of his office during his first
term.
ID. L. Stouffer and Earl T. Smart
gave the watchers n very pretty race
for president of council and for n
time 1t seemed that 1t was any mans
race. Mr. Smart, the Republican can
didate, came out in the stretch with
seventy-three votes to the good.
Council Democratic.
In the race for councllmen and
councilmen-at-large the Democrats
secured the best of the argument and
the new council will be Democratic
in complexion. William Ullom from
the First Ward and j. j. Rudolph
from the Second Ward were elected
