Democrats Request
Inspection Ballots
Cast in CITY Election

At the request of the Democratic
city committee the ballots cast in the
municipal election Of last Monday
will undergo an inspection at the city
building, starting at o'clock this
morning. The inspection will be pri-
vate and those conducting it will be
Raymond NJ. Lightbody, the city
clerk; Harvey D. Eaton and Charles
H. harrington. representing the Re-
publicans, and Mark j. Bartlett and
F. Harold Dubord, representing the
Democrats.
In the election, DR.. Herbert c.
Libby, the Republican candidate for
mayor, was elected over F. Harold
Dubord, his Democratic opponent, by
81 votes and 1t would be a great sur
prise were this majority to be de-
creased to any extent. In Ward 1,
Timothy F. Cowan, Republican, was
elected alderman over Clinton A.
Clauson, Democrat, by but 10 votes
and this Is an office that will be
watched with interest. The reason
assigned by the Democrats for the
inspection is that a number of peo-
pie in the city have expressed de-
sire for it.
