CITY PRIMARY ELECTION
PROPOSITION is PASSED

The proposition for having cand-
dates for city Offices nominated by
primary election instead of the con.
vention system, carried by great ma
jority yesterday, there being 104S votes
for the proposition and only 19l
against It, The caucuses and conven-
tions held previous TO this years cleo
tions, We're consequently the last TO be
held under the former system, as the
primary method will become effective
for next years nominations. The move
ment to bring about this result was
inaugurated last January by Leo r.
Ebertoski, one of the candidates for
the Republican nomination for justice.
who withdrew, however, before the
convention. A petition was circulated
by Mr.. Ebertoski asking that the ques-
ton of nominating mayor clerk
treasurer, justice of the peace, super
visor. alderman and constable be sub
mitted to a vote of the people and it
was extensively signed, although con-
siderable opposition was manifested in
some quarters.
The result of the election shows that
public sentiment is now overwhelming
ly in favor of the primary method and
the caucus is now thing of the past
in local politics.
The primary school apportionment
amendment TO the constitution carried
in Hancock by a vote of $50 to 1870,
good sized majorities being given in all
four wards
The new city council will take office
April 10, with three new Republican
members elected yesterday. Messrs
Larsen, Ojala and Bran, two Citizens
party members. ONeill and Payne. the
latter holding over. and two hold-over
Republicans. Hosking and Payne, the
latter having been elected a year ago
on the Republican ticket for a two
year term.
When the result became known last
night the successful candidates We're
serenaded at their homes by the Qun-
cy band. and Quincy street was illum-
mated with red fire. The crowds on the
street to hear the election returns was
the largest ever seen at a local cleo
ton, owing to the great interest taken
in the judicial election as well as in
the city campaign.
Discussion has already arisen as to
probable appointees, the offices to be
filled being a city attorney, city en-
gineer, health officer. chief of police,
night watchmen street commissioner,
water works engineer members of
board of review, member of the board
of public works and chief of the fire
department. The general opinion,
however, is that there will be very
few, if any, changes.
