COMPLETE
RETURNS
From Every Voting Precinct in
Centre Co.
THOSE ELECTED ON TUESDAY
Compiled From the Official Returns in |
the Prothonotary’s Office—Sur-
prises in Many Sections—Local |
Fights were plenty.
We are able herewith to present to our
readers a concise and complete return of
the election on Tuesday, showing the |
yote cast for all the nominees in every
voting precinct of the county. This re.
quired a vast amount of labor to prepare
fn a short time, but we believe it will
prove interesting and will be duly ap
preciated.
Here, in Bellefonte, the election was
quiet and the two parties, on a whole,
polled their vote. In the south ward |
the democrats had a fuss and the result
was they lost most of the offices. John
Trafford was defeated for Overseer of
the Poor on the democratic ticket, prin.
eipally because people did not approve
of a third term, yet he is credited with | }
having been one of the best officials in
that pepartment, |
In compiling these returns we give the |
official vote of all nominees, omitting all
small scattering votes.
