members OF Council, Dillwyn 5

Frederick j. Lauinger came under
the wire winners from the one other
candidate, Lekoy Grant.
Mr.. Stevenson drew the largest
votes, which is attributed to his heu'
tenants. who were mostly all mem
bers of the Police clique and it has
been stated that they made can
vass of the lower section of the city
and blackened the name of the four
til candidate, Mr.. Grant, by circulat-
ing the report that Grant was mem
Der of the Ku Klux Khan, and that
they should vote for Stevenson,
pointing to the fact that he, being
Chief of Police, had never ordered
any gambling dens or crap shooting
stopped and also pointed to two OF
the best vote getters that Mr.. Steven
son had those of the illicit sellers of
liquor. These in their selves were
enough to swing the election.
Mr.. Grant, upon hearing of the re-
ports being circulated about him at
once made public denial and con-
fronted the officer, Ezra Budd Stew
enson, whom is being given the Gre
dit for passing the buck" bud"
enphatically denied the reports and
offered to take the candidate to sew
eral sections of the city to back his
statements, but Grant drew his own
conclusions and after expressing his
candid opinion of the officer, he let
the matter drop.
In the fight over State Committee
man, William H. Reeves, the present
member, won out defeating Warren
G. Pine Of Riverside.
AssembIyman Clifford r. Powell
made record run of the day by de-
feating John H. Pancoast by major
ity of more than $500. Considering
the light vote, Powell's victory is a
remarkable expression of confidence
in the young speaker by his fellow
Republicans.
The County Committee scrap in the
Second District also turned out as
the wise ones had predicted on the
eve of election. Events of the past
week were believed to have had
strong bearing on the outcome.
Whether they did or not is matter
of prediction. Charles F. Stevenson
defeated George S. Stevenson by a
vote Of 234 to II. Miss Cornelia Ford
defeated Mrs. Ada Williams 1877 to 81.
