In one of the closest election con-
tests ever known to the voters OF
Great Falls, Louis Newman was
elected to the office of mayor, yes
terday. with a total vote Of 1885
while D. j. Ryan. the Citizens
labor candidate ran second with 1902
votes, and A. H. Gray, the nominee
of the republican party, was third
with 1882.
The democrats elected two alder
men to the city council, the repuh-
iicans named two and the citizens
labor party landed one, taking the
Fifth ward. The aldermen elected
give the democrats four in the new
council which will come into office
in May, the republicans will shave
five, a loss of one to the repub-
Iicans, and the citizens labor will
have one, gain of one for that
party.
The membership Of the new council
by wards will be as follows: First ward.
G. Il. Hubbard and H. r. Stevens, re-
publicans; Second ward, George L.
Booth, republican, and Bernard Joyce,
democrat; Third ward, A. J. Sullivan and
George Grover, republicans; Fourth
ward, George Stanley and r. r. John
Harry A. Sheppard, democrat, and John

How the Wards Went.
Mayor-elect Newman carried the First
ward and was second in the Second
ward, while Mr.. Gray carried the Fourth
ward and was second in the Third ward.
Mr. Ryan carried the Second, Third and
Fifth wards. Mr.. Newman carried every
precinct in the First ward, two of the
four in the Second ward, one in the
Third ward, and one precinct In the
Fourth ward while he tied the 10th
precinct with Mr.. Gray, that being the
home precinct of the latter. Mr.. Ryan
carried 10 Of the 21 precincts. The table
shows exactly the results in every pre-
cinct of the city.
The voters returned W. p. Wren to
be treasurer and that gives him extra
excuse to celebrate his birthday which
occurs today. He received 1895, the
high vote of the election. while Frank
j. Parker got 1901 and James i. keir-
men 1890. Mr.. Wren who will start his

obtaining 1247 votes to 116S votes for
=. r. Marsh, the democratic candidate
and 957 for Marlin Wilson, the citizens
labor nominee. John Craig, running as
an independent, got scattering vote all
over the city and while the total was

CRITICAL STAGE On PEACE AGAIN
of Americans Would
Not Amaze Paris Much;
Lloyd George N0,v I'LL.

Paris, April 7.-tBy The Asso-
Ciated Press.)-The peace confer
ence has apparently reached the
turning point between definite and
speedy results and further pro-
longed delay. The Indications today
were toward action, but new doubts
began to appear as TO whether the
desired results could be accomplish
ed within fortnight, as Premier
Lloyd George and Colonel House
have predicted.
Extreme tension was evident, as
a result of today's discussions, and
ii is believed that another critical
stage has been reached. One of the
responsible authorities associated
with President Wilson said that he
would not be surprised If American
participation was brought to an
early close If the delays were car
ried much further.
The council Of four was to have met

WILSON CALLS
HIS STEAMER:
MAY LEAVE IF
PEACE DELAYS

Paris, April 7.-(By The Associat-
ed Press ).-Presdent Wilson's order
that the United States transport
George Washington proceed imme-
diatety to a French port aroused much
comment and are construed by some
officials as preliminary to a deter
mined move to force an agreement at
an early date by the peace confer
eace.
One report was current that the
president had delivered an uitimatum,
to the effect that he would Withdraw
from the conference unless an agree
ment was reached within 43 hours.
1t is confidently asserted by those
close to the president that he did not
contemplate any such action, but the
same authorities declare the president
questions at issue and it is believed
his determination to adhere to this
position is fixed.
The summoning of the George
Washington will place the president in
such position, it is pointed out, that
he cannot be embarrassed by having
to wait for the transport should the
time come when he might wish, owing
to failure of the peace delegates TO
agree or display unwarranted delay In
findina a settlement of the peace
question, to Withdraw from the dis
cussi0ns.
The belief is common that Pres
ident Wilson will not hesitate to take
definite action If deadlock is actually
reached.
If, however, the council of four suc-
ceeds in reaching an adjustment, and
the presence of President Wilson for
a longer time is deemed advisable,
the George Washington would be
available for the transport of troops
to the homeland and would then be
ready to return at later date for the
presidential party.

fit above the most Of cotton production
The fundamental purpose of the
American Cotton Association is to brin!
together into one great solid unit the
cotton farmers and their allied and de-
pendent business interests, for the main
purpose of bringing the South's cotton
growers into an era Of continued pros
perity and happy contentment with the
great industry in which they are en-
gagged, Success means an emancipated
South in all lines of business and pro-
! LESSONS, and regeneration of the rural
urban and city life Of the Cotton States.
1t will mean rehabilitated rural homes
filled with the comforts. necessities and
Injuries of life. Better schools, no
Iilliteracy, splendid public highways,
good churches aud higher and bet

will mean the creation Of an attractive
environment and tiresile on the farm
which will keep the country boys and
girls at home and check the present
movement from the farm to town and
city.
The platform Of the American Cotton
Association is big enough for every
patriotic Southerner to stand upon and

possible cooperation and support. The
Farmers Union members know these
things to be just what tehy are also
striving for, and hence the active CO.

can there be perfect success in any
