BUTLER CHOSEN MAYOR
CASE FOR MARSHAL
Fourth Ward Alderman Only
Run-Off-Results Generally
Decisive.

Brookhaven's first municipal pri-
mary held yesterday will go down
in history as being the Quietest af-
fair of the kind ever held here. The
voters generally seemed to be apa-
thetic in the matter which extended
right on up to the day before the
election and even then those who
manifested any interest, other than
the candidates themselves, had a
rather luke-warm spell of it, influ-
enced no doubt by the general dis
regard of what was going to take
place.
While the general outward appear
ance- was rather cold the figures
shown of the number who voted
proved that there was an undercur-
rent that influenced many to have
their say in who will be the city's
officers for two years commencing
next January, the total vote running
up to nearly 700-a high water mark
in such an event and which
fact helps to prove that the late CEN
sus figures as given out by the gov
ernment are undoubtedly wrong.
The election is ended for the city

Clyde Day will have a run-off in the
fourth ward for alderman. While
Farrell led the ticket in that ward he
failed by 1S votes to get the required
number that would have nominated
him over both opponents.
The majorities generally were con-
spicuously decisive in character, ex-
cept that for alderman in the third
ward where r. L. Davis defeated s.
A. Walker by a margin of only nve
votes.
For Chief of Police the present in
cumbent. J. H. Case, made a run
away race of it, Mr.. Case having been
nominated over two opponents, re-
ceiving 100 votes more than both of
them put together.
Present Mayor Butter was again
chosen as the city's chief executive
by majority of 9S votes over Ches-
ter Byrne, now city clerk.
The vote received by all Of the va
rious candidates was as follows:-

Temperature
OF MOTOR NOW
IS CONTROLLED
Columbia Six Has Device for
Automatically Opening
and Closing Shutters Of
Radiator.

In these days OF soaring gasoline
prices motorists are recognizing
even more fully the importance OF
the thermosa,ic temperature control
of the Columbia Six. as an unequaled
fuel saver" say officials of the Peter
son Motor Co, 2427 Farnam street,
new Columbia distributors for Ne
braska and western Iowa territory.
Automatically controlling the
motor temperature is the logical way
to conserve gasoline" they point
out, for il does not necessitate cut
ting down the mixture to such an
extent power is sacrificed"
The motor temperature OF the
Columbia Six is controlled by shut
tiers in the front of the radiator.
They are opened and closed auto
matically by a thermostat, keeping
the motor temperature practically
constant. about $50 degrees, winter
and summer. Opening OF the shut
iers whenever the motor tenpera-
ture exceeds $50 allows rush OF
air to cool the motor. In winter no
hood cover is needed, the closed
shutters keeping the motor warm
while the car is not in operation.
New Columbia models will be
shown dealers and prospective pur-
chasers this week at the auto show
and the Peterson Co. salesrooms.
