ing of the Second Ward for up
wards of three hours on election

closing of the polls by Burris' di-
rection, cost William H. Cook, the
sitting Republican councilman for
the ward, his denomination, for
which he was defeated by Captain
S. B. Atkins. On the other hand,
it is claimed that the Cook sup
porters were rallying Democrats
to his support and the polls were
closed to secure fair play. Atkins
