G. Besteder, farmer; Council Nominees On Republican Ticket, Garahan, Franklin and ‘Hildebrant Win With Ralph Rood Making Exceptional Run, Pollowias Closely to Hildebrandt With election circulars: being dis- tributed both in the mails and from house to house, election ads in our local paper, and with many street con- j ferences, Dallas experienced the most interesting election in the history of the borough. While not entirely unexpected, th in seeking reelection, he having over the Republican nominee by majority of twenty-nine votes. Pur- gess Anderson owes his election in. large measure to his fine showing in the Parrish Heights district, which Te carried by forty-four votes majority. With no county fight in evidence, very few straight Republican ballots were cast, which was a material benefit to the fighting burgess, but notwithstanding this, his victory was 3 all. the more deserved.’ Cay John J. Jeter won over Charles H. Cook for Justice of the Peace by a substantial majority of 174 votes. School Director Contest James Besecker won over Stanley Doll in the school director contest for the six-year term by a majority of 132 votes, carrying both the Parrish Heights and old Dallas districts. In the two-year school director fight, which during the week prior to election took up as much interest of the voters of 4town as the burgess contest, Clifford Space won over F. F. Morris by seventy-seven votes. ; Council Seats Harry Garrahan, present incumbent, James Franklin and Clarke Hilde- brandt, new councilmen, will their council seats on the first Mon - day in January. Ralph Rood, who had the D cratic nomination, was sought oh the past week to make a stand for election as councilman, and with only a few days before election Ralph started a canvass which nefted him two hundred and forty-one votes. This showing is remarkable in view of the fact that with only a Demo- cratic nomination he was only de- by Clarke Hildebrandt by thirty-six votes, notwithstanding the fact that Mr. Hildebrandt had both Republican and Democratic nomina- tions. : Fred Gordon had no opposition as tax colector and he will once more serve Dallas for another four years.
