former Mayor Dan o. Head by a ma
of the city landslided it for Joachim
proclaiming in no uncertain terms that
he was their "favorite son. The
majorities of Joachim in the sixth,
seventh and eighth wards were of a
staggering nature and the former
mayor saw when the returns from these
wards came in that he had lost the
battle to go back to the Office of head
executive of the city. Over in the
eighth ward, which was conceded to
Joachim the first count for the day
was made and it showed that the north
side man was leading by a majority of
314 votes; the lead of Joachim IN his
trip to the bridge was increased by
more than 200 more in the seventh,
& hos. ard 81 1acf.s,.. and the
sixth ward piled it up until it was over
the 600 mark. The Joachim forces
were not satisfied with sweeping the
north side of the city and the lead for
Joachim was almost as pronounced in
the fifth ward on the west side Of the
city and he ran just a little ahead in
the fourth and ninth wards.
The surprise of the evening for
the friends of the former mayor
came early when the returns from
the third ward came drifting in.
These showed only half hundred
majority for Head and he had been
expected to carry this ward by at
least two hundred votes.
The first ward came in as the cham
pion ward for the former mayor, he
carrying both of the precincts by
large majority over the north side
alderman and getting close to 300 ma
jority in the ward. The other Head
wards were the second end third.
The fifth ward proved bit of a dis
appointment to the Head forces and
the big vote cast for Joachim in this
ward was a surprise.
It was complete victory for that
portion which is north of the river
as practically all of the elective of
fees of the city were filed by men
who are known as "North Siders. -
George Harrington had such big
majority for city clerk that it was
hardly thought necessary to count it.
George Lauer defeated Herbert Thomey
for treasurer; John w. Stevens won
from James Tobin for assessor, and
Charles Turnock slipped in with the
majority for justice of the peace.
Turnock was the only south side
man elected
There was not great deal of cele
brating in the carly part of the even
ing, but towards morning the friends
of the mayor-elect were cheering for
" Honus" all over the north side and
there were celebrations of the same
nature over on the west side.
The usual ability to run in both the
north and south wards was shown by
Assessor John w. Stevens and he kept
his opponent, Tobin, humping all the
time and got away with a top heavy
majority. The large vote for George
Fl. Iauer was something Of a surprise.
He not only carried the north wards
by big majority but he got MAORI
ties IN many of the south wards and
his victory over Thoney was made
certain early in the evening.
The hot fights for aldermen in many
Of the wards brought almost as much
interest as the vote for mayor and
other city officials In the first ward
George Roberts showed his ability to
come back for his fourth term and he
defeated Joseph w. Tully by
majority of sixteen votes. In this ward
Fred Murdoch won hard fight, de-
feating Adolph Burg, one of the old
veterans of The County Board, by
majority around the forty mark.
In the second ward liner Turkelson,
the Sheridan Road grocer, defeated
John Sershon, an old member of the
counciI in the aldermanic race. There
