cratic executive committee has de-
| clared Mr.. John b. Marshall the nomi-
nee the party for mayor of Green
Vile by majority OF six votes over
his opponent.
The election was held on Tuesday
and the unofficial returns showed Mar
shall to have by majority Of six
votes There are many rumors OF
confusion at the boxes and of throw
Ing out of votes for irregularity, and
representation Of Mr.. Webb asked for
a full recount of all the votes cast
The committee acceded to this re-
quest, and although the vote was
changed considerably in some of the
boxes, and the total number decreased,
1t so happended that after all had been
figured up and some challenged votes
counted. Mr.. Marshall was still found
to have a lead of six votes.
The committee threw out 147 bal
lots on account Of Irregularities. For
the satisfaction of their followers rep
resentatiyes cf the candidates made
count of these ballots and found that
had they been counted in the official
returns Mr.. Marshall would heve re-
ceived a majority of sixteen instead
of six. There was talk of contest,
but both parties now express their
entire satisfaction at the result.
A second primary will be held Tues
day to select number of the police
commission for the "short" or two
year term. The second race lies be-
twwen c. Frank Grandy and j. C.
Mccall, who stood third and fourth,
neither getting quite a majority,
Messrs w. T. Bull and e. e. Johnson
were elected Tuesday for the "long"
or four-year terms on the board.
The only other second race neces-
sary is that to decide upon an alder
man from Ward /, Messrs Stephen
King and r. M. Dacus standing high
est in the results of the election for
this place.
The race for mayor and for the po-
lice commission have been among the
warmest ever held here.

the commissioner to remove him.
At the interview this morning Por-
ter told his plumbing inspector that his
services would no longer be required

service.
Some of the charges Porter is hold
ing in reserve in case he needs them

has kept Failor in fear of losing his
license. and has compelled him to do
