Dry Forces Win a Grand Victory in Tues
days Election
Pile up Majority of 25 in Favor of o-Lcense City, One
of the Biggest Votes Cast Since City Was
Organized.

In one of the hottest elections ever
witnessed in this city the saloons OF
Washburn were voted out Tuesday,
the vote being 289 against license and
goa for license. 1t was a grand
victory for the dry" forces and was
an indication that their strength has
been growing since the election a
year ago.
Although the election was hotly
contested by both sides, yet it was
cleanly conducted, and there is nc
reason why there should be sore
spots OH either sides. Naturally
neither side likes defeat but every
one should be good losers.
The interest in the contest was
interesting. From the opening oi
the polls until the close there was a
steady string of voters in line to vote
and the vote piled up until a total
of 557 was reached. This was the
largest vote cast in the city since it
was organized.
During the entire day the wet"
forces were confident while the dry
forces waited patiently for the result,
knowing there would be surprise in
store for someone. 1t came when the
ballots for the first ward were counted
and it was found that the drys'
had made tremendous gains over the
vote of year previous, the vets
having majority of only 9 votes.
The 'drys" also made gains in the
second ward, which was considered
the wet wad of the city, but the
hopes of the vets again began
raising when the vote of the third
ward was announced and it was
learned that the "drys'' failed to
make the gains expected in this ward.
But the fourth ward came to the
rescue again with vote of nearly
three to one and the vets" who
were anxiously waiting for results,
left the polls, knowing that their de-
feat was certain. When the fifth
ward was reached the "drys" again
made great gains and carried that

Edwin Bryan, alderman from the
lst ward, was elected Mayor of the
city of Washburn in Tuesdays S elec-
ton over Charles p. Lysager and
Hiram Hansen. The vote was as
follows: Bryan 274. Lysager 215
and Hansen "a. The Lysager fol-
lowers believe that with Hansen in
the field the chances of their candi-
date winning was lessened because
the votes given to Hansen were taken
from the Lysager vote. Lysager had
the backing of the anti-saloon league
forces while Bryan's candidacy was
supported by the followers of the
wet element.

To Tide the City Over Unit
Tax Collecting Time
This Year.

Since the city has gone dry we
have learned of a number OF
men who have signified their willing
ness to make advances of money to
the city to tide them over until tax
collecting time come next year, il
this becomes necessary.
For years the city has been run
during the summer months on the
license money which comes i'm in July
and naturally the council figured or
this this year but the saloons have
been voted out and this amount will
not be forthcoming on July lst and
this will leave shortage of funds in
the general fund.
One gentleman has offered to adj
vance 81 900 to ths cilss If it can be
legally done and others have signified
their willingness to advance amounts
ranging from $25 to $500 to tide the
city over.
The men of the city are going tc
take an interest in the city IS affairs
from this time on and if this is done
we will have better city government.
These men who have offered to
advance money to the city are to be
congratulated for their public spirit
edness. Their action is commend
able.

ward by majority of seven votes.
In the sixth ward the vets carried
and when the totals were reached it
was found that the "drys" had
majority for the entire city of twenty
five votes.
The time for great rejoicing by the
dry" forces had now come and they
took advantage by cheering over the
result. Mothers, who had their
attention centered on the battle for
days and weeks, on bended knees
offered up prayer for the great
victory and hundreds of people were
made happy.
The Times has enjoyed being en-
gagged in this battle for we knew we
were in the right and even had we
suffered defeat in the present contest.
we should have gone on with de-
termination to win at the succeeding
election. We have endeavored to be
fair in our articles dealing on this all
important question, touching on the
business and its effects upon the in
dividual and leaving out personalities.
In the first of the campaign when
the saloon men learned that we were
on the dry side there was an attempt
made to start boycott by few of
the saloon men but this was not
carried far and we are willing to for
give and forget. Dozens and dozens
ofpeople have congratulated us upon
our stand and have given us encour-
agement while others have shown
their appreciation by subscribing for
the papers. Many letters have also
been received from outside persons,
many of whom were entire strangers,
offering encouraging words.
The Times expects to continue to
take stand on questions of import
ance and we do not wish persons to
feel that because we do this we are
after anyone's scalp in particular.
We shall always endeavor to be fair
in our articles dealing with public
questions.

one. M. H. Robinson, the present

col, Grey 121.
