Reports spread throughout the day
that the race for places on the coun-
ell promised to be a more close one
consequence that scores of voters
crowded into the voting booths during
the last hours of voting.
The strength of the opposition to the
present aldermen was centered in the
seventh, and eigth wards In these
wards Martin. Schmidt led the ticket
crossing the bridge with a lead of
155 over his nearest competitor and
219 over the one travelling farthest
behind.
Loses in Other Wards.
This lead was soon gobbled up by
big majorities piled up in the first and
second wards for the present alder
men; Schmidt polling only 1870 votes
out of total of nearly 900 in the first
ward alone. He ran good race in
the fourth, fifth and sixth wards but
in none of these nosed out either one
of the other three candidates.
Much interest was manifested in the
election throughout the entire city as
compared with the little interest shown
in the primary two weeks ago.
Glerum Wins in Sixth.
There were many interesting races
in the wards, one of the most notable
of which was that for school commits

school board, won out over Fred Raj
mon, 264 to 1856. In the second ward
Harry o. Whitbeck, also former
school board president, was renamed as
a school commissioner winning over
Mrs. Christine Clark, 343 to 275.
The only other contest for school
commissioner was in the eighth ward
where Fred F. Joerndt was returned
