tickets for all the places have been
filed. This action was taken after the
resignation of all the old officials,
their designations to take effect on
the election of their successors But
after the names of their Successors"
had been filed there was a reversal
of form for some reason and two of
the resigned" decided to "unresign,
while third refused to take it back.
The fourth who had freely announced
his intention of resigning, also chang.
ed his mind, and is included in the
recall. This with the license issue and
the several tickets means that the
average voter in Pierre will have
something to keep him thinking or
busy for the next ten days.

election held here on April 4.


An enormous crowd filled the city
hall Monday night with expectation Of
seeing some excitement among the
councilmen. This, however, did not
materialize and the canvassing OF the
poll books by the canvassing board
went on as quietly as any ordinary
council meeting.
Only at one time did the crowd
breathe relief from the monotony Of
the harmonious poll book canvassing.
This moment, 1t seemed for a time,
might bring up the question as to
whether or not the vote found on the
floor of the Second ward voting place
should be counted, but that was not
even mentioned. Instead Councilman
Kaufman found that one OF the cleo
ton clerks in tallying The votes had
checked six lines instead Of five, but
when this book was compared with its
mate. it was decided an error was
made and both books will be sent to
the county judge.
If the tally on the Second ward book
should prove not to be an error, it
would make the contest for mayor a
tie, the marking being made on Mr..
Coleman's column.
Because one member of the city
council was i'll Tuesday there was no
meeting of the new council. a meet
ing will be held this evening in the
city hall at which time the old coun-
ell will meet to adjourn and the new
council will be sworn in and meet to

new council will meet for regular bust
ness and at this meeting the new COM
mittees will be appointed.
