THE CIRCULATION OF THE
A Very Quiet
Election!
Could Not Send Zeller and
Leib to the Tall Timbers
All Republican Nominees Win Without
An Effort
® Yesterday’s election passed off
very quietly and very little interest
was manifested. All the Republi-
can candidates won, hands down
and with one exception, there was
nothing to mar the Spring election
of 1907.
The Squire “This
Morning.
In the East ward there are at
least 55 voters that have not as yet
forgotten the lesson taught them
by the ‘‘citizens’’ or rather the
people last Spring. By all appear-
ances they are delermined to rule
or ruin and yesterday that combi-
nation set up a job, which was
directly aimed at Chas. H. Zeller,
and indirectly at M. M. Leib.
Inasmuch as fifty-five voters
wrote the name of M. N. Brubaker
on the ballot, it clearly demon-
strates that that faction was doing
all it could. On the other hand,
Mr. Zeller, as well as his friends,
were doing nothing, the former
calling a sale, while many of the
latter did not even vote.
Last Spring Mr. Zeller polled
133 votes. Yesterday, the day be-
ing bad and the vote light, he had
only 57, yet the opposing faction,
with the Squire out ot town calling
a sale, after herculenean efforts
were unable to defeat him, and its
underhand work during the last
month went for naught.
