Very little interest was taken In the affair and It was rather on the sleepy order from start to finish. There was uo issue involved to arouse the sentiment or Intense interest of the voters, except the same issue that has been before the people for the past three years, and most of the votes were cast as a matter of duty. Of course there was the usual good-natured rivalry between the different candidates and some clcc tionceting was done. It is human nature for a man to desire to win when he allows his name to go be fore the people ns a candidate for any office, and this feeling aroused at least some of the candidates and their friends to put forth quiet efforts to secure votes. The total vote cast was 6.. It appears that J. D. Davidson did not know his name was going ou the ballots as n candidate. When he learned that his name appeared on the primal ballots nnd that he was securing votes at the poles, he announced that he could not, titxlcr any circumstance, accept the office cvcti if elected, and nested notices. doing all that he coufd to eliminate himself ns a candidate. However, he was elected, and it will now be necessary for the council to choose someone to succeed him. Two tickets were in the field ns follows: citizens' tickist. I'or Mayor II. V. J. McDonald.
