sHULER TICKET DEFEATS
THE BIG CORPORATIONS
WEsTERFELD WINS BY NOSE;
WATER BOND ISSUE CARRIE;

Ration, N. NJ, April 5.-Dr. J.. j.
Shuler, Democratic mayor Of Ration,
was reelected yesterday, defeating
DR.. w. s.. Connect, his Republican OPP
ponent, by $40 votes. DR.. Shuler's vic
tory was won in the face Of the most
strenuous opposition of the Van Hout-
en-Springer interests, admittedly the
most powerful Republican interests
in Colfax county, which are princi-
pally concerned in the electric light
and power plant here. The re-elec-
ton of Shuler undoubtedly means
that Ration will add a municipal light
ing and power plant to its. other mu-
nicipally owned public utilities.
The entire Democratic ticket, with
the exception of the alderman from
the Fourth, or native, ward. was
elected, and the new council will
stand seven Democrats to n Repub-
lican. The election was a complete
Endorsement Of DR.. Shuler's munich
pal ownership administration.
Yesterdays vote was the heaviest
ever cast in Ration, a total of LIZA
voted. The greatest number
of votes cast two years ago, when
Shuler was elected over McAuliffe,
was 935.
