cases, said the ballots were good as
the intentions of the voters appar-
emily were of the best.
Early indications last night were
that all four aldermanic positions
would be filled by Democrats, but
reports from the sixth ward about
3 o'clock this morning showed AL
derman Reidy leading by a sufficient
majority in n poll to discount the
lead secured by his opponent, John
Kozusko, in the other -four polls.
The election of Mr.. Calvin was
| generally conceded soon after the
reports from the various polls COM
menced to come in, showing Alder
man-at-large John N. Wester run
ming behind in many of the districts
while his margin was small in the
polls where he was expected to Sc
cure his greatest vote. When the
last returns had been received, how
ever, it looked as though there was
a possibility of the Republican be-
ing reelected. The complete city
vote shows Calvin a winner by nine,
votes.

by III votes. Waters carried the
first poll of his ward by four votes,
the second by eighty-three and the
third by eighty-four.' An unusual
feature of the second ward voting
was the large number of "cuts"
given Waters by Democrats and al

Tooker by Republicans. Ballot al
ter ballot was counted on which a
straight ticket was voted with the
exception of alderman, this one vote
being cast for the alderman on the
opposite party.

ing a 201 majority there. Alderman
