EVERY WARD FOR DUNN.

EVERY WARD FOR DUNN. WiIlinantie's Mayor Reelected for the 1 Fourth Successive Term-Ma iority of 26+Democrats Elect Their Entire City Ticket-controi Board of Alder I men.
 Tn biennial city election was held | in Willimantic Monday and Daniel F. | Dunn, candidate for the fourth suc- l cessive time for mayor, was elected by l the overwhelming majority of 264. car i, rytng every ward in the city. i The democrats also have elected the l entire city ticket from top to bottom, 1 two of the three aldermen at large and 1 aldermen in the First and dJThird wards, 1 thus securing control of the board by | 43. The contest for alderman in the l Fourth ward was very close, William 1 r. Clark defeating Jean J. Oldershaw, | the democratic candidate. by only 1 seven votes. Frank R. Jackson, repub- llcan, won out in the Second ward over Leo l.. Thompson, democrat. by 39 votes, which is If votes more than Jay l M. Shepard secured in 1909. ] The surprise of the day was the big change in the First ward Two years 1 ago c. c. Case. republican, carried the ward by 26 majority, while this year 1 David F. Ahern, democrat, carried the l ward by 26 votes.
 In the Third ward D. B. O'Connor, 1 democrat, had a. majority of 161 over his opponent, and that is a larger ma jority than two years ago, when the somewhat light vote cast there this year is taken into consideration. City Clerk and Treasurer A. C. Scripture was returned a winner by exactly the same total majority as Mayor Dunn, 264, as against major ity of 214 two years ago against his same republican opponent, John B. Ed garton-
 F. L. Powell. republican candidate <.S& cyEl wi 5nfa n Snow in the Second ward by one vote and by six votes in the Fourth ward, but the latter had a majority of 49 cf 165 in the Third ward. making his total majority POT against ma ajority Of 73 over Marvin W. Hall two years ago.
 The polls were c~c~ca promptly in all wards ct -l0sed at O O'clOck Noi ]. Int dur ing the e; of the weather of in tereSt by = repub- licanS. T. he vot- ing was md was kept up qp. the close of the polls.
 City and ward Committees were hard at work all day, but the much talked Of Boosters" did not seem to have the requisite power to boost as predicted end therefore the democrats are high ly elated as well as not a few republi- cans who accorded the democratic nominees many votes, as will appear by the various tabulations in the sev- eral wards.
 That Danny Dunn was again wanted for mayor cannot be disputed. and now that he has the board there can be no complaint in many quarters.
 The sad defeat of the republicans generally is nothing to be surprised at and was predicted by many of their own party early in the day.
 The Second ward was the first ward r.. Ea 61a d fT,d Inc the First third, and the Fourth last.
 Town Clerk and Treasurer Frank P Fenton, the moderator in the Second ward, declared the final and tabulated the various ward moderators reported to him.
