"DRY" VOTERS SHOWER
THE BALLOT BOXES
Tuesday's Municipal Election Brings
Out Largest Vote Ever Polled in
Alliance More than One Hundred
Majority Against Saloon License.
H
evariaismwjmgjtMaa
The question of saloons or no saloons
was paramount in the election last
Tuesday, and from the opening of the
polls to the close of the same, nt 7
o'clock p. in., the campaign was kept
up to the highest pitch. The fight
seemed to be all one way from external
appearances and it was the "dry" ele
ment that made the mo3t active cam
paign. They were out in force and hao
arranged a compact and comprehensive
campaign in every detail. Two auto
mobiles with flying banners bearing the
inscriptions "Alliance is Going Dry,"
"A Dry Town Makes Happy Homes,"
etc., flaunted in the moist atmosphere,
which prevailed at the time, and seem
ed to be the tauntings of a "wet"
weather man. The saloon men too,
were on the streets all day working
but it was evident to most of them
from 'the start that their fight was
a hopeless one.
The contest for mayor was
handed at the start of the
about noon, the name of F.
was brought forth without
edge, with the result that Mr. Harris
showed himself a strong man. But
for the fact of C. C. Smith's pop
ularity ho would have been a close
second. Mr. Smith's vote in the First
ward was 244 and in the Second 146.
Mr. Harris received 82 in the First
ward and 77 in the Second.
For city treasurer, Chas. Brennan
'had a complete walkaway. Out ol C44
votes he secured 504, thus attesting
his worth as a public officer while coun
ty treasurer, from which office he retired
this year.
For councilman in the First ward C.
A. Newberry was elected, being "tlfe
only candidate in the field. In the
Second ward, C. L. Drake was pitted
against E. M. Martiu for councilman
but the popularity of Mr. Martin as
councilman was attested by a majority
of iGg.
The question on licensing saloons
single
game, but
V. Harris
his knowl-
was opposed in tho First ward by a vote
of 221 against 149. In the Second
ward the "drys" polled 150 votes
against 117, making a majority of 105
against tho granting of license.
The temperance ladies served hot
coffee and sandwiches all day at the
Darling store and 1 1 nguo's hnrdwnro es
tablishment and it is said that they had
a large patronage their motto being
"quick sales and no profits," but when
the result of tho election was announced
tho ladies felt satisfied with their day's
work. ,w
