VOTERS ENDORSE
THE 80NDIN6
After working tirelessly
throughout the night the election
boarii hnally concluded the count
ing of the ballots cast in yester
day’s election, at eight this morn
ing. Long before that hour, how
ever, the public were generally
dware of what the final results
would be as, in almost 4every in
stance the winners were clearly
indicated by a preponderance of
votes in their favor. Indeed, so
large were the leads of the success
ful ones that the results were Tit
tle in doubt after eleven o’clock
last evening and the majority of
Nomeites retired to their downy
couches with small apprehension
that the standing of the candi
dates would be greatly altered be
fore the last vote was checked.
And that their surmises were true
isindicated by the fact that with
one exception the order of the
leaders was not changed through
out the counting period. In fact
the first report delivered by the
election board pointed out the
leaders by unmistakable majori
ties in every instance but one.
This one exception was in the
school division, Stipek starting
out with a substantial lead to be
later headed by Morris. As the
counting proceeded the starting
order was maintained in every in
stance and it was soon apparent
that as far as the leaders were
concerned it was simply a case
of how large their majority would
be. The same index of final re
sults was also apparent in the case
of the several issues presented for
public ratification. The question
of the final ratification of the pro
visions of the new election law
relative to the election of city of
ficials was never in doubt from the
start and the same will also ap
ply to the matter of bonding the
city for municipal improvements
and the projected coal yard. The
coal yard question was very clear
ly indicated as one of the issues
upon which Nome had decidedly
set its heart.
In a great degree the results may
be termed a landslide in favor of
progress and improvement. There
was also a strong tendency on the
part of the voters to stay with
those who had been tried and not
found wanting. Five of those
previously holding office were re
turned and but one present office
holder was defeated for re elec
tion. A total of 943 votes were
cast, out of which ten were re
jected by the election board as
spoiled, thus leaving the actual
vote 933. Among the councilman
ic candidates chosen to preside for
the ensuing year, A- D. Poteet
proved to be the people’s favorite
leading the list by the substantial
majority of 91 votes. J. W. Rose
was second with a lead of 14 votes
over Ross who was third choice.
The others were all close togeth
er down to McAllister the tail end
er. A pecular feature of the vote
for councilman is that the first and
last man are separated by the
small difference of 172 votes.
In the race for mayor Blake dis
tanced his opponent, Moller, by
two to one and Grimm also had a
walkover in the contest over the
clerkship, leading Wm. Eddy, his
nearest opponent by 278.
The contest for city treasurer
was somewhat closer although the
winner, Murphy, carried off first
place by a substantial majority.
For the office of city attorney,
Hugh O’Neill won easily front;
Judge Hobbes, the present incum-i
bent. For president of the school
board Morris distanced all compe
titors and won by a majority of
ill from his nearest competitor,
Wm. Stipek. The two lady can
didates were both defeated by
large majorities. Mrs. Buckmaster
was overwhelmed in the race for
!the clerkship and Mrs. Sauvain
was a rather bad third in the i
school election. The total results
will be found in the next column,
with the winners ranged in the or-1
der of their precedence.
