‘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

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.
J. Harry Mannear will be our new
auditor, having had no opposition.
