ran away ahead but Martin overhaul ed him and got in by 35 votes. The results were posted in several places in the city and interested crowds look ed on as the returns came in one after the other The big surprise seemed to be the manner in which Myers ran ahead of Noon. This is accounted for in some quarters by the fact that some who were supposed to be sup- porting Noon caused a loss Of votes from those who would have supported him, while his supposed supporters m many cases turned him down at the last moment for some reason which is not very clear. Quite a little money changed hands but the amount was probably not as great as it was reported and in some cases the bet ting was nothing but politics"
