Win by Large Vote
at Lincoln Election

Lincoln, May by a margin OF
only 1919 votes Mayor John E.
Miller of Lincoln was reelected to
that position in the election Tues
day. He was closely pursued by
former mayor Frank Zehrung, who
polled 1886 votes to Mayor Miller's
1855. Frank M. Coffey, former
state labor, commissioner, who had
the backing of the labor unions, APP
peared to have a sure place on the
commission when the returns were
half in, but the big resident pre-
cincts cut down his lead from third
place to seventh with 4,l47 votes,
only 1S9 votes below Zehrung and
38S below Mayor Miller.
The surprise Of the election was
the ease with which the opposition
drove back the forces of the Sun
day theater proposition. 1t was
pretty we'll known that the OPP
ponents of open theaters on Sun
day were somewhat afraid of the
result, but when the returns were
half in the result was shown to be
favorable to the antics and the
end of the count showed the ma
jority against Sunday theaters to be
2,043, there being 1921 votes in
favor and 1894 against.
The women appeared to be more
interested in the election than the
men.

ried strong.
