OLD PRATT war ENDS
Mayor Defeated Recall-C1ty Light
ing Caused 1t All.

Pratt. Kan. Nov. 13.-Probably the
hottest contested election ever held in
this city was held Tuesday when the
recall of Mayor ]. X. Hupp failed by
two votes. The war has ragged for the
past six months and began when Mayor
Hupp and the commissioners passed an
ordinance giving the Pratt Light & Ice
company q franchise with prices that
were far above the prevailing prices in
other cities of the same size. The
referendum was used and the PROPOSE
ton was defeated by an overwhelming
majority. Later the city voted bonds
for the erection of a municipal light
plant and Mayor Hupp appeared un-
friendly to the project. His actions at
that time seemingly did not look good
to several, for soon a petition was cir
culated for his recall and the great
battle was on. Mayor Hupp is a dis
tant relative of ]. B. Hupp. president
of the Pratt Light & Ice company and
it was thought by those backing the
recall movement that this fact would
not allow him to act with good prudence
and fairness to the city when they were
building a plant that would have war
with the present plant to the finish.
Mayor Hupp has been connected with
the city government in some way for
the past 20 years and has always been
considered a good and efficient officers.
The election was followed by some
loud and long demonstrations by the
Hupp followers which made one think
of the old Populist times when cleo
tons were exciting
