HESSE VICTORIOUS
IN CITY ELECTION
Smith, Mundy, Geman and
NeagIe Elected to New City
Roard.-EIection Devoid of
Excitement.

A substantial approval of the
administration OF Mayor ]. F..
Hesse and Commissioner o. j.
Smith was voiced by the voters
of Las Vegas Tuesday when they
returned Hesse to the Mayors
chair by a vote of 646 against 250
for his opponent, more than 2h
to l, and reelected Smith by a
vote OF SIS against 3O8 for his
opponent, almost to l.
In the three-cOrnered contest
for Commissioner, Fourth Glass,
Roy Neagle walked away with the
honOrs, receiving a plurality of
140 over his nearest competitor.
The result of the election as
sures Las Vegas of a business
like. safe and sane administration
of its affairs during the coming
four years.
Mayor Hesse is elected for a
four year term under the amend
ed Charter.
Of the commissioners, Smith
and German are elected for four
years and Mundy and Neagle for
TWO years.
Hesse, Smith and Mundy were
members of the previous city ad
ministration. German, defeated
IN 1925 in the mayorality fight,
had prior to that time several
years valuable eXperiesnce as a
city commissioner and as Mayor.
Roy Neagle is the only new
member Of the city government
who is without former experience
in city affairs. He is one of the
leading business men of the city,
has long been an active and efti-
ment and has the confidnce and
respect OF the people. We pre-
dict that he will be found a valu-
able member OF the new board.
1t is OF interest at this time to
recall the campaign of 1925, in
which there was considerably
more interest than this year. In
that campaign $50 votes were cast
for mayor against 896 in 1927.
There were three candidates in
the race Tor mayor, Mr.. Hesse
winning by the small plurality of
3S. c. j. HamOnd in 1925 was
pitted against l.. j. Oakes win
ming the election as commissioner
by a vote of 325 against 311. o.
), Smith, opposed by j. A. Hag-
gard, won by AZ votes. w. H.
Elwell and Geo S. Day were op-
ponents, ElwelI winning by So.
Comparing the substantial ma
jOrities OF the 1927 election with
those Of two years ago, one is
forced TO the conclusion that the
voters are generally well satisfied
with the city government of the
past two years.
