Both factions worked very hard throughout the day as was attested by the remarkably large vote which WAT boiled, l, ,116 out of l, ,4So
 The present incumbent of the office did very much to bring about his own election. sending out some time ago a personal letter Of appeal to all the poters asidng them for their support in order Chat he would be saved from poIit1eal annfhi1ation and to vindtcate him ln the eyes Of the community
