The two candidates named above
for mayor and the eight for commits
sioners will be the ones who will
have their names printed upon the
official ballot in alphabetical order
at the regular municipal election Of
Tuesday. April i5.
II will depend upon the result or
that election who will be the man
selected as mayor and the four who
shall be the commissioners under
the Commission Form OF Municipal
Government.
This elimination or Sitting pro-
cess came as d result of the election
of yesterday
II was remarkable in many ways
1.-THE qnietness. general observance
Of the laws and orderly proceedings
attending the election
A great surprise was the big ma
jority obtained by Walter II. Wood
over his nearest competitor In the
race, when 1t was expected that
having entered the race as late as
Sunday he had but brief oppor-
tunity to perfect an organization
and yet could make such brilliant
showing.
Many thought that Davis would
poll much larger vote which
would have been drawn from the
ranks of the Wood adherents.
Late In the afternoon, just before
the close OF the polls. it was gencr.
ally conceded that Wood would poll
a larger vote than any OF the others.
There was an absence OF the feel
ing of rancour so often seen in elee-
tions. everybody seemed to be will
ing to accept the verdict of the cleo
tion without a murmur.
Naturally the adherents OF Wood
were jubilant last night over the
victory attained by their Knight
Errant' promising to perfect an or
ganization within the next two
weeks and never cease laboring I'm
the cause Of good government under
the able leadership of the man they
love. esteem and admire.
The battle was fairly fought and
fairly won by the people.
Women Deeply Interested.
The Power Behind the Throne
the good women of Cairo were as
deeply interested in the battle of
ballots that ragged at the polls yes
terday as any man in the city. In
their sympathies were
strongly arrayed upon the side Of
he Young LoehInyar" who vali-
lntly donned the armuor of just
'ause and entered the lists to battle

DEADLOCK MAY
Hold FOR WEEKS
Dunno Says He Still Stands for the
Election Of Lewis and
Sherman.

Springfield, H., March With
the return to Springfield today of
Governor Dunno and other state Of
ticials who attended the Inaugural
tion at Washington, the Illinois
capital again busted itself with the
senatorial deadlock.
Governor Dunno asserted he still
stands by his original statement in
which he advocated the election OF
Lewis and Sherman.
when Mr. McCombs comes to
Springfield this week ! believe he
will come to the same conclusion, +"
said the Governor. President
Wilson's reported statement favor
ing my plan following our confer
ence was buncombe. The President
was noncommittal regarding the
Illinois situation.
AS far AS | am concerned ! can
see no change in the situation .
Colonel Lewis Is Ill in New York
City and will not be able to return
to Springfield for at least a week.
There was an undercurrent of be-
lief that the senatorial question
would remain unsettled for several
weeks and perhaps until after the
close of the special session of Con-
gress at Washington. Some Demo-
Gratis, with an attitude of aiding
the national Congress at any cost,
were urging no election in order
that the Senate might not be i'm
periled by the,probable election or
Republican.
What effect the appointments
which Governor Dunno is expected
to make this week will have on the
senatorship was matter of con-
lecture today. 1t was thought.
however. that the Governor could
exercise much influence by judicial
distribution of the state pllms.
