DEMOCRATS GAIN
TWO COUNCIL SEATS
Now Have Ten Members in
| Governing Body

| Although the republicans carr1ed '''o
oi+,v elections Yesterday by g majority
of 500 votes. the democrats succeeu00
in having two more candidates electeo
tn the common council. The folio" Sfo
| Of Woodrow Wilson will now have IL
m EN- bers in the council, whereas PRIOR
to the election they had eight Inc
republicans still control the council.
G.. Q. P. Loses In Fifth.
With the exception of the fifth ward
vary, little interest was manifested In
the voting, it being an off year. In
that ward, which is normally demo-
cratic, the republicans made a, great
fight for supremacy The outcome OF
the balloting in this ward was uncer-
tain all day, each party claiming to
have control. When the votes were
counted the result indicated that the
c. o. P. had lost by only 40 votes.
The fact that this is an off year and
that very little interest was taken in
the balloting is apparent by the fact
that the socialists, prohibition:cts and
other parties failed to place a ticket
in the field. The recent action of the
common council in refusing to appro-
pirate $1,000 to welcome home the
heroes of the Yankee division, Is re-
flected in the votes and shows that the
people of New Britain desented the
action.
Charles P. Wainwright, democrat
will continue on the board OF select
men, having received II more votes
than his running mate, +. j. MURRAY.
Lewis w. Lawyer led his running
mate Arvid Nero, by II votes. James
w. Farrell, democrat, is the only can
