IN THE WRONG PASTURE. , '
shouts and the shooting of fireworks
until the- air fairly, resounded with
the din. and. joy was supreme among
the Republicans.
The results Show that Waters, for
mayor, carried all of the four inside
wards easily and by a. majority of 163
votes, while Mr. Knight carried the
three outside wards by only twenty
live, a great falling off frorn what the
Citizens expected. Ward No. 7 has
always or nealy so been conceded to
the Democrats, and H has very seldom
failed to go that way. Five and Six,
however, have always been rated in
the Republican columns, and the way
they, turned out yesterday was a sur
prise to most people who had made
any caleula.tlons upon the outcome.
Seven only gave Mr. Knight a ma
jority of one vote over Waters yester
day, and It would not hav'e been sur
prising. 4f It had gone strong for all
the Citizens candidates. The Citizens
counted upon the outside wards go
ing strong for all of thetr candidates
and hoped to win all around by
breaking about evert on thefour in
side wards. Their predictions and
calculations fell far short all around,
however, and they were the most sur
prised people in Salem last evening
after the returns had been received.
The 'Republicans elected the mayor
and all of their aldermen,, with the ex
ception of one, Amos Vass, in South
Salem (Seven), who was defeated by
Joan Bayne, the Citizens' candidate..
This, too, was considerable of a sur
prise for the Republicans, for al
though they expected to lose one of
their tnen In that ward, they, thought
the greatest fight was being' made
against Lee Atchesoh.
The j victory for the Republicans is
made, all the more glorious since they
had such strong opposition tot run up
against. In the first place, there was
the Citizens aggregation, 'strong
enough in itself, and then there was.
the Law Enforcement League, which
oad. openly opposed the saloolns and
the gambling establishments and en-
dorsed
the Citizens ticket's almost
without exception. This made it very
