PUTNAM

Senator Archibald Macdonald was re-
elected mayor OF Putnam at Mondays b.
ennlal election, again being named by
the people Of the city as It's chief execu-
tive, ar Office in which he has previous
ly made highly creditable record. SEN

or. running as republican candi ate
and without democratic opponent or a
rival OF any other political faith.
As was inevitable under the circun1-
stances with which the city election was
surrounded following the party caucuses
last month, Victor ChapdeIaine, unupposed
candidate for alderTnan-at-large, and al
OF the other candidates for the common
council were elected.
The election was free Of that lively at
mosphere that marks such occasfens when
there are sharp contests for preference
from the voters, but this did not deter
| many from going through the motions 0
voting.

the common council during the two years
| beginning with January--f1ve republics
and four democrats making Up that body.
| Senator Macdonald, now mayor-ele-t,
has had no particular ambition Co again
| be the mayor Of Putnam but yielded to
desired that he become candidates. The
pressure upon him began to be exerted
| as long ago as last summer. following the
| annual town meeting in October, he con-
scented again to allow the use of his name
| by the republican party IN order that h
! might serve in a period during which 4
| is hoped to eradicate some Of the unpleas-
| ant things that have made their i1nprs So
