There was no contest on tho democratic ballot, con sequently th6 democrats flocked to the republican camp and participated In the heated contest for mayor, engineer and councllmen. About 450 votes were cast all told, out of a total voting strength of over COO. Because there was no competition for places on the democratic ticket, the democrats,' who total over one. third of all the voters, are said to have thrown many of their votes onto the republican side, so. as to control' tho list of candi dates against whom their men will have to run In tho final election. Goorgo Hill, tho present mayor, was chosen again to head - the democratic ticket, only fifty-nine votes being tallied for him. Edward Sorenson received tho republican nomination with 243 votes, as against 156 for Fred Bailey. Thus 399 votes wero counted republican against fifty-nine democratic for mayoralty nomi nations, whereas It Is said that out of tho total of 45S yotes cast, fully 150 wero deposited by men who are really demo crats. The results, other than for mayor, were as follows: REPUBLICAN. City clerk, Dan Westergard. City treasurer, Guss A. Wulff. City engineer. C. IC Bramble. Councllmen, First ward, Andrew lie- iTormicK: eccona wara, uiaua Ulant. DEMOCRATIC. City clerk. F. W. Melchlor. City treasurer, A. P. McCarthy. City engineer. Peter Chrlstensen. Councllmen, First ward, W. S. Wright; Second ward, A. M. Wiggins.
