Worley will lead Hooper in this
ward by large majority and the
vote here may be close between Wo,-

In the eighth. WoTey and Kahl,
are running close together. Peters
and Showers are probably ten votes
behind them, while Hooper's vote
is thought to be pretty light.
AT this hour il look as If the NAV
orally would go TO Showers by a con
siderable majority, and that Wor-
ley and Kahle are elected on the
Republican ticket. Peters has pol
ed the full Democratic vote, while
Showers has made heavy gains from
the Republican side.
The candidate receiving the high

ton will serve as mayor for four
years and the candidate receiving
the highest number OF votes in
1911 who shall serve two years as
a member of the board of affairs
will then become mayor for the en-.
