Chosen Members of School Board
DEMOCRAT COUNCILMEN IN ALL WARDS
Elmwood Goes
"Wet" While Louisville
a "Dry" Town for
Will Be
Sometime
The election Tuesday was an exceed
ingly quiet affair. There was no ex
citement whatever and many remark
ed that it was the most quiet election
ever held in tnc city, mere was
scarcely any electioneering, and no
conveying of voters to and from the
polls in carriages as is usually the
case.
Dr. J. S. Livingston, chairman of
the democratic city committee, de
serves great credit for the manner in
which be managed his side of the
house. It was through his efforts that
the old way of assessing candidates for
campaign expenses was ' cut out" oy
both parties, and no "setting up" for
this candidate or that candidate was
tolerated. Every man who desired to
exercise his legal right to vote went
and did so without being electioneer
ed. The vote was exceedingly small
as will be seen by the returns below.
The electric light proposition carri
ed by a large majority, and democrats
were elected in general. In the First
ward where the democrats endorsed
the candidacy of W.A. White, it will be
noted that he received more demo
cratic votes than he did republican
votes. The people have cause to re
joice over the election of J. M. Roberts
and II. M. Soennichsen for members of
school board board, because they will
prove the right, men for the place.
Below is the returns by wards:
