CdluludCe LOT Guy OllCcS III DuAuCl
was elected, last Tuesday, after one
of the bitterest campaigns ever staged
there. S. F. Snively, Union Labor
candidate for mayor was elected by
a majority of approximately 1000
votes. The Labor candidates for city
commissioners-P. G. Phillips and
Leonidas Merritt-were victorious over
their opponents, who had the united
backing of the so-called good govern
ment club, the ''loyal' soldiers and
sailors committee and the volunteer
workingmen's committee, which were
all used to stir up prejudice and hatred
against the Labor candidates, but to
no avail. The Nonpartisan League
and Socialism came in for their share
of abuse by the milyun percenters who
tried their utmost to defeat the Union
lists. Judges Frank R. Cutting,
Richard Funck and Harry W. tanners
running on the Labor ticket, were also
reelected by handsome majorities.
