The result was complete surprise 10
the Republicans for while they con-
ceded the mayor they at least eA-
pected to carry the majority OF the
wards.
4 large vote was pollcd IN al the

quiet. In ward i've the biggest vote
for years was cast. Wards one, two,
six and seven went solidly Demo-
cratic and wards three four and five

solidly Republican. II was expected
that Finnemorc would poll major
;ty Of abou. 80 but the returns ga &c
