iectmun Alfred Avisou over Edward

work he had been doing during the
past several weeks couulcd .'l‘hero
were cast. 290 ballots, the requisite
number for a choice being 146. Mr.
Avison secured fill to 99 by Mr. Smith.
The contest next of importance, and
which proved very ciosc,.was between
Joseph A. Carrier and Francis Leon-
ard over the office of registrar for the
First District. Mr. Carrier is the
present incumbent, while Mr. Leonard
is an ex-rcglsirar.
A ballot. was taken to settle the
question. Sergeant Carter. on the
show down, had 90 votes to his credit
and Mr. Leonard 82. The number suf-
ficient for a cholcc of candidate was
R7. Thc balloting on this office was
not as heavy as for soloctmun. as
litany left the bail after the latter of.
flt'c was decided.
All of flip other offices on the ticket
were filled by the secretary casting
omI ballot for the various nominees.

count the. other list of oniccrs was
filled.
Postmuslcr Keith attempted to rc-
fuse the nomination for school visitor
but the meeting would not. listen to
any proposition of the kind. Mr.
Kciih said he had bad the office since
just after the war and had held It as
long as any one man ought to.
“fireflies." humorously added Mr.
Keith. “my pocketbook In bulging out.

Mr. Hurlbutl Insisted that the meet-
ing‘wouid not listen to his returning
the nomination again and voters
quickly substantiated this statement.
Mr. Keith dually out. Mr. Hurlbutt in
motion as to how many favored his to
nomination.
A great chorus answered “Aye."
while there was one little faint “tiff."
0h, spoke up Mr, Keith. "Ono
friend.“ Gentlemen, you have an al-
mout: unanimous choice of Bradley 8.
Keith as your candidate for school
visitor.” .
Mr. ilurihutt nominalcd Mr. loon-
