ELECTION EASY
Citizens Ticket Had No 0pposi-
tion in Dodge City.
SCHOOL BONDS CARRIED.
Vote Was Light on Account OF
Being No Contest For
Any Office.

About the largest majority a ticket
can be carried by, is the complete
vote cast and without any opposition
appearing.
That is the kind Of an election the
happy peaceful family known as
Dodge City had last Tuesday. The
Citizens ticket was voted as a matter
Of form. no opposition showing up in
any Of the wards, at least not more
than stray vote or two, such as
might be expected in any case.
The school bond proposition car
ried unanimously in all Of the wards,
with practically the same vote as
given the candidates for council and
members Of the Board Of Education
on the Citizens ticket.
The vote was extremely light, as it
was sure to be without a contest Of
any kind. In the First ward J. 81.
Miller received II votes for council
man, Mr.. Gingrich, for member Of
school board l5, and II votes were
cast for the school bonds. DR.. Mil
ton for councilman received 81, votes
in the Second ward, Mr.. Coolidge
for school board member 81, and
there were 70 for, and 4 against the
bonds. In the Third ward T. e..
Traynor, for councilman received 80
votes, Mr.. Coffey for member Of the
school board 85. There were 80 for,
and II against the bonds. The
Fourth ward vote was: A. B. Reeves,
for member school board, 36; P. NJ.
incl for councilman 39; for the
bonds 81.
The large number who on account
Of being no contests neglected to vote,
should see to it that they register at
once, il they desire to vote on the
Waterworks bonds proposition at the
special election on April 10. All
who did not vote Tuesday have lost
their registration, and they must
register at once or they canLot vote
at the Waterworks bond election.

Regular Monthly Meeting Held Last Night.
Resolution For Commission Form Of
Government.

The people Of Dodge City should
post themselves thoroughly on the
matter Of adopting the commission
form Of government for this city. The
matter seems sure Of coming up, and
it will have TO be settled one way or
other. At first thought this paper
would say that the commission form
Of government would be better II the
commissioners were good business
men, and worse than the present
system il they we're not good men.
tits q matter Of vital import to the
town, perhaps, and it should be we'll
thought over before we take the step
or decide to not take it. It is q ques-
ton which has two sides to it and
both sides should be considered. In
a town Of this size the commissioners
would receive but q small salary,
which would not be an object to the
kind Of men that should fill the po-
sitions. Perhaps just enough salary
to be an attraction to the kind that
could not successfully handle city
affairs. The commission form Of
government could not be adopted for
a year, in any case, and there is plen-
ty Of time to consider it well.
At last nights meeting Of the
council q resolution was passed, that
il is the sense Of the council that the
best interests Of Dodge City will be
served by adopting the commission
form Of government, SO that the mat
ter is practically brought up for set

It seems settled that the commits

for the Howell Cimarron short cut
road, and it appears to be equally
certain that the people Of that part
OF the county and the Dodge City
people will attend to having the road

Toward the east side Of the county
the graders are already at work on

that Ford county will do it's part in
establishing the new Santa Fe Trail
