 An Easy Winner

didates and to take the dissatisfied vote from some of the candidates on the Citizen ticket.
 The vote was much lighter than was expected. Out of a total registration of over five hundred there were 4O6 ballots cast for councilmen and two women votes for school director. Will liam Geddes heads the winners with 27l votes which would have given him a comfortable majority had ey- cry vote been cast that was register ed. Indeed every candidate on the Citizen ticket has a gooG safe majority of all the votes cast.
 Willis E. Nowen was safely elected 10 succeed himself as a member of the Juneau School Board. At no time was there any serious menace to his re.election.-the returns show that Mir. Nowen received 15S votes more than any competitor.
 Strange as it may seem. the newly enfranchised sex were not out in strong numbers although under the old law they are entitled to vote at school elections-two votes only were cast for member of the school board by the women of Juneau at yesterdays election. The new law granting full elective franchise does not go into effect until ninety days from the date of Governor Clark's signing of the bill.
