The vote was unusually light, there were no worth while contests and last but not least, some of the offices went begging for can- didates. For the first time in the writer's memory there was no Republican candidate for Council in the West Ward. This boro, invariably a Re- publican stronghold, was far from itself Tuesday. One of the biggest surprises was the defeat of President of Council Robert Keller. Mr. Keller has been in Council a number of years and was chairman of the water commit- tee for quite some time, being re- lieved when the Borough Authority took charge some time ago. There were three Republican candidates for Council in the East Ward. Councilman Lester G. Hos- tetter polled 139 votes, James B. Spangler Jr. 103 and J. Robert Kel- ler 49.
