Halls winning by a majority of 3 votes.
There was also contests in two districts
for road overseer IN one Frank Christie
defeated j. j. Fisher by a few votes
and in the other there was a tie between
Mr.. Godfrey and Mr.. Mr.. Mcleod
which vas settled by lot in favor of Nc
Leod. Considerable bad feeling has
been raised and charges and counter
charges made. Threats of a contested
election are made on tho grounds that
the judges exceeded their authority by
entering booths without being asked to
do so by the voters, that minors aliens
and non residents were allowed to vote.
AS to the action of the judges entering
booths %unlawfully We do not know but
certain it is that minors and aliens and
non-residents voted and while it pro-
badly did not change the result it is
a common practice in Wales and should
be discouraged at future elections. Both
Mr.. Halls and Mr.. Schneider are fine
fellows and personal friends and their
popularity WAS attested by the close race
they run and Mr.. Halls no doubt owes
his election to the fact that his support
ers we're better organized. Mr.. Schneider
has proven himself a good loser and here
is hoping we all forget the "scrap."
