An EVEN BREAK,

elected-League Captures Council
Second Primary Necessary.
The Democratic primary election held
in this city last Monday, the 9Th inst, for
the purpose of nominating candidates OF.
the Democratic party for municipal offices,
TO be voted for at the biennial municipal
election scheduled for Saturday, May s,
1911, resulted in an even break between
the Administration and Citizens League
forces, each side having elected nine Off
GERS out of total of twenty. with two
positions to be fought for in a second
primary between representatives of the
two factions.
The election passed off peacefully and
quietly, no disturbance of unpleasant IL
cident Of any kind having occurred to mar
the serenity of the day, and naught but
good feeling and spirit or the friendliest
rivalry having been manifested by the
partisans of either faction.
The first ward poll was located in the
courthouse. the second ward poll in the
municipal markethouse, and the third
ward poll in the Lemann stable building
at the corner of Mississippi and St. Pat
rick streets.
The Administration forces landed the
following candidates: For mayor, Charles
Maurin, for chief of police, Henry Schaff,
Sr.; for treasurer, Jos. N. Gisclard. For al
dermen-Third ward. w. D. Park and E..
G. Wathen. For committeemenS Second
ward, B. j.. Vega; third ward, Gottlieb
Wild; at large, Whitney Comstock and
Adolphe Meter.
The candidates on the Citizens League
ticket who received a majority of votes
over their opponents were as follows:
For clerk, Alfred Landry. For aldermen
First ward, w. j. Leblanc, Frank Milano;
second ward, D. Ohlmeyer, A. j. Schroeder.
For committeemen-First ward, D. B.
Doran, A. v. Templet; second ward, Clin-
ton Chambers; at large. Thomas Blouin.
In the three cornered race for collector
between Robert E. Dill. Y. L. Duffel and
Henry c. Duke, as expected neither Of the
candidates received majority over his
two opponents, and second primary will
be necessary to effect choice between
Dill, Administrations, and Duke, Citizen
League entry This primary viii be held
on Monday, April 3, and will also be par
iicipated in by Justilien Delatte and F. B.
Miller, who tied for member of the Dem
ocratic city committee from the third
ward. Mr.. Delatte is the Administration
candidate for the Office, and Mr. Miller
carries the colors of the Citizens League.
A resume of the vote shows that the
Administration landed the mayor, while
the League captured majority of the
council, electing four OF the six men :
bers of that body. The Administration
candidates for chief of police and treas
urer were successful over their opponents,
whereas the League candidate for clerk
defeated his Administration rival.
In the Democratic city committee the
result is a deadfall, each side having

and Miller, candidates from the third ward,
