Belland, the nominee" of both parties in' the Third ward. There were no coundilmen to be elect ed in the Second ward. Majorities .were heavy ail around, ex cept for city surveyor. Mr. Tee was re-elected by 127 votes over G. F. Par ker. Almost a full vote was cast, and the count proceeded rapidly, except in precincts 2 and. 4, which are always slower than the others. At 9:30 the result was definitely known. ' I ' From 4 to 6 yesterday afternoon the candidates put in their hardest licks. Friends ; of the Various aspirants hustled about and every stray voter was hurried to the polls. As a rule, there was little challenging, and but few votes were sworn in. . '. y The contest for police commissioner between W. H. Barker and G 0; Moen attracted most attention. Mr. Moen has been quite ill of late and has not left his apartments. However, his friends worked diligently, but could not overcome the sentiment in favor of the election of Mr. Barker. When the polls closed last night the citizen lead ers acknowledged the defeat of their candidate, and the count showed that Mr. Barker had received a majority of 248, out of a total vote of 1336. Mr. Moen Carried but two of the six pre cincts No. 1 and No. 2. Even in those precincts he fell far below the other citizen candidates. G. F, Parker ran A. S. Tee a closer race than was expected, and the con test between those gentlemen was the closest of the election. Mr. Parker carried only two precincts, but he poll ed a fairly good vote in all. The differ ence was 127, out of a total of 1279. Thomas Dealey, citizen candidate for treasurer, received the biggest majority of the day 522 out of a total of 1328 votes cast. Mr. Dealey carried every precinct In the city. He has the repu tation of being the closest campaigner in Astoria by which is menat that he talks with more people when running for office than any other local politician and the result was certainly a tribute to his plan. Mr. Dealey's opponent was Hon. John Hahn. Olof Anderson received a majority of 445 for auditor' and police judge over Charles Abercrombie. He, too, carried every precinct in the city, running al most evem with Mr. Dealey. Mr. An- derson made hia political debut yester day, aever before having run for office. He said ht believed he was elected be cause he was better known than Mr. Abercrombie, his opponent, who s a most worthy and deserving young man. The citizen candidates for council in the First ward received large majori ties, both Mr. Hansen and Mr. Lebeck receiving more ' votes -- than Messrs. Neiml and Panttaja in the three pre cincts.
