VILLAGE ELECTION
Princeton Village Remains in "Dry'
Column as Result of the Action
of Voters Tuesday,.
T.. S. Neumann Chosen for President
of COuncil---Three New Trus-
tees Are Elected. T.

The annual village election last
Tuesday passed off quietly, although
a heavy vote was cast. Princeton
remains in the ''dry" column as
result of the action of the voters.
and an entire new council, with the
exception of Recorder Hatch, who
had no opposition, was elected.
A total of 1913 ballots were cast on
the proposition of license or no
license, and the contest was rather
close. When the count was COM
pleted it was found that POP voters
were against license, while 1872 went
on record as being in favor of the
granting of same. Four of the bal
lots were blank, and 2 ballots were
taken out by the judges before count
started, as it was found that there
were 400 ballots in the box-2 more
than there should have been. Prince
ton voters have now gone on record
two times as being in favor of a
"dry'' town, and the various fac
tions should forget their differences
and work for bigger and better
Princeton.
There we're two tickets in the field
for village officers. One carried G.
S. Neumann at it's head for president
of the council, and G. H. GottWerth,
Frank Henschel and Henry Newbert
for COunCilmen. The other one was
headed by NJ. L. Wheeler, and W.
Fl. Miller, T. J. Kaliher and ~.
Orton we're the candidates for coun-
cilmen. This latter ticket was the
old council. with the exception of
Orion, who went on in place of D.
A. McRea, who had positively re-
fused to serve again. The ticket
headed by Neumann won, although
the race between Wheeler and him
was extremely close, and was not de-
cided until the last ballot was
counted. Neumann received l9S
votes to 1876 for Wheeler. For coun-
cilmen G. Fl. Gottwerth received, POP
votes, Frank Hencshel 200, Henry
Newbert 1919. W. H. Miller 1913, A.
j. Orton $50 and 7. J. Kaliher III.
All the candidates were level-headed
business men capable of administer
ng the affairs of the village in a
satisfactory manner. However, the
voters have made their choice, and
the incoming administration should
have the cooperation of ALL
Recorder Hatch, Treasurer Herd
liska and Assessor Howard had no
opposition, and all received a SUBJ
stantial vote. Hatch was credited
with 1856 votes, Herdliska with 1872,
and Howard received 372.
For justice of the peace Oscar Stark
and NJ. NJ. Stroeter opposed each
other, and the race was spirited
one. The former secured the ''plum'
by vote of 100 to 1872.
A total of 403 ballots were cast for
village officers--5 more than on the
license question. ~.
Clifton Cravens acted as clerk of
election, and f. G. Cater and o. B.
Newton were the judges, and all at
tended to their duties in a commend
able manner. The count on license
was completed at about O'Clock,
and the village count was completed
a few minutes after O'Clock.
