City Elections.

y
passed off quietly, but with
considerable enthusiasm and
activity on the part of the diff
ferent candidates and their
friends. AS in all elections
everybody was disappointed in
some particular, but in the main
the men elected are generally
satisfactory, and if they all work
to improve the civic conditions
of the city they will have the
unanimous endorsement and sup
port of the people.
The new mayor of the city will
be Chester V. Smith, one of the
most active and progressive
citizens in the city. AS sample
of his energy we have only to
look at the opening of Second
street to the Santa Fe shops, a
work he started, superintended
and finished, working with a
shovel day after day with the
laborers employed. This work
he undertook as private citizen,
and raised the funds by sub
scription. A man of this caliber
is bound to make a competent
and efficient mayor.
The members of the council to
work with Mr.. Smith will be A.
E. Gillard, E. F. Matthews, Louie
Phillips, G. M. Service, C. C.
Easley and Geo. Rickle. With
the exception of Mr.. Gillard all
are new members, but they will
make good working force to
support the mayor in his con-
structive policies for the improve
ment of Winslow.
The only sharp contest was
over the position of city marshal,
and the result was in doubt until
the vote was counted out. The
present incumbent F. M. Dunham
was reelected over C. w. Harp
by a vote of 346 to 317.
For street commissioner N. s.
Bailey won out by a vote of 356,
as, against 293 cast for D. E.
Hanks.
Another sharp skirmish was
over the office Of city clerk, the
contestants being w. ]. Grocer,
the present incumbent, and Ada
Ehlen. 1t was a good-natured
struggle among the friends of
the candidates, but Mr.. Crozer's
experience and competent ser
vice was his strong card, and he
won by a handsome majority
over his fair young opponent.
Mr.. Grocer thinks he was in
hard luck to be the only candi-
date who had a lady as a contest
ant, especially as he is sucn a
gallant young man, and so bash
full and modest in his demeanor
toward all the fair sex.
The election is over. Now let
the new officials get together to
work for a better and cleaner
city, cleaning out the few re-
naming rotten holes, and initiate
and carry through to, completion
some of the many civic improve
ments SO sadly needed.
Fresh Elsinore honey. Try it.
Greater food value in honey
than cereals.
Mr.. B. Armstrong and family
left Wednesday for Gallup where
they will make their future
home.
Mrs. M. G. Philyaw returned
Monday from a visit with her
husband who is at present work
ing in Ashfork.
The Needles Nugget says the
man who gets mad at what the
newspaper says about him should
return thanks three times a day
for what that newspaper knew
about him and suppressed.
