The weekly times-record. (Valley City, N.D.) 1912-1922, 1922-04-06
while The Park Board Candidates
Go Right Along With Him.
Messrs. Hesch, In The First, H. n.
Walker, In The Second, Ole Knud-
son, In The Third, And Emil Field
man, In The Fourth, Are Elected
Aldermen.

With the sun shining bright in our
old North Dakota city, the voters
went out good and strong yesterday
to cast their ballots for a mayor,
park board, alderman, city treasur-
-er, police magistrate and city JUS
tice. The issue was clearly defined
all along the line the two candidates
for mayor having been tried by the
people and the emphatic endorsement
accorded Mayor Bonhus must make
that gentleman feel that his efforts
for the city were appreciated. Then
again it was demonstrated that you
cannot go out on campaign of re-
venge and get by with 1.-THE chief
of police issue being a large factor
in the big majority secured by Mayor
Bonhus yesterday. The people be-
lieve in square dealing and so declar-
ed by their votes yesterday. The
election of Messrs. Mcdonald and Ell
lis to the park board is another con-
crete illustration that the people do
not propose to let two or three men
override the wishes of the majority.
The vote upon this proposition was
most emphatic. Mr.. Mcfarland at
the eleventh hour, issued some post
ers calling upon the voters to vote
for one only and that he be that one.
He hoped to get support enough by
this ruse to slip in, but you cannot
catch old birds with chaff, so the old
saying goes, and he, could not be
elected on chaff, either. The Sunday
band concerts will be taken care of,
the tourist camp will be looked after
just the same, the parks will be kept
up and so far as we can see the old
town will not go to the demnition
:bowwows just because Mr.. McFar-
land is not on the park board. H. N.
Walker slipped into his accustomed
seat on the city council by the stick
.er route, getting fourteen majority
over Abe Eckel, his nearest competi-
tor. Billy DuVall will again preside
over the city justice department, hav-
ing won out on the sticker route. 1t
was great day all around, yester-
day, and probably no election we
have had in years has pleased a ma
jority of the people so we'll. The fol-
lowing is the vote received by the
various candidates: .-. ?.
