Monday was quiet election day all
over the county Several contests were
on but in rhe main they were OF the
quiet order and no over excitement ex-
listed anywhere.
In Crystal Falls city the attention
was centered on the third ward where
Hugo Koepeke was running against
Irving II. jackson on slips. Mr.. Koe-
peke made good run in the primary
and his friends figured that that ac-
complishment would give him prestige
enough in the election to win out on.
Tney figured wrong. though. for the
electors came ont in much larger mum
bers than at the primary and the ex-
cess all went TO Jackson. Out OF 40
votes Mr.. Koepeke got 55. two more
than he did in the primary.
At Amasa there was hotly contested
election between Captain jacobson and
Harry Morrison. Mr.. Morrison won
out the vote being Morrison 95. Jacob
son 81. John Wormwood won for clerk
and Chris Rowe for treasurer
The biggest contest. as measured by
the vote polled. was in Stambaugh
township where Il. T. Coe and Victor

son in.law Of j. s. Wall and had the
support Of the oliver Iron Mining com
pany. Mr.. Coe Is close friend Of w.
H. Jobe, superintendent Of the Verona

interests in the township, some taking
one side some the other.

= In Iron River township the contest
was between Arthur w. Quirt and Leon
Johnson. Mr.. Johnson is q new man
to the political field. Mr.. Quirt was
the candidate on the democratic ticket
for sheriff last fall Mr.. Quirt proved
to have larger support in Iron River
than Mr.. johnson and won out handily.
In Mansfield township opposition de-
veloped TO John Mason who was the
nominee for teasurer. Four votes
were cast against him. One OF the
arguments advanced against Mr.. Ma
son was that he was seeking too much.
After the election was over Mr..
Mason called a number of the voters in
to the Office and said to them: "boys,
| appreciate the courtesy you have
shown me today. There has been some
objection made 10 me on the ground
that an asking too much perhaps
am asking great deal But, you
know that have been deputy treas
urer right along here in this township
and my only purpose in taking the
Office was To get away from that de
putyship. Now. tell you what I'll
do with you. Every year have di-
vided the receipts from the Office with
the treasurer This year will pay
over TO committee you may sele't,
the same amount that would have
paid TO the treasurer, had one been
elected. and that committee may use
that money for ANY charitable purpose
IL sees tt. II you see widow whom
you think needs all OF it give II TO her
OF divide it up Just as You see tit. /"
Mr.. Mason's offer left an excellent
feeling and could we'll be emulated all
over.
