Charles Patterson was elected
mayor of the city of Arapahoe, Neb.,
at tho election Tuesday. There
seemed to be quite a bitter fight over
a bond Issue, and while Mr. Patter
son was In favor of the same It was
defeated by one vote and Mr. Pat
terson was chosen mayor by a ma
jority of 14 5. He was placed in
nomination on the citizens' ticket.
This vote certainly shows that Mr.
Patterson la very popular In his home
town, as he was not at home on elec
tion dny and is still visiting in Cali
fornia, consequently no work was
done In the Interests of bis election
except by his friends. We venture
the assesrtion that there is but one
solution for his success, and that Is
that he Is one of the best fellows that
ever lived In Arapahoe, and the best
qualified for the position.
