Greensboro Elects a Demooratlc Mayor and Board of Aldermen by Overwhelming Majorities. i Pursuant to a call IssaedLby the city executive committee, the Democratic voters of the various wards of the city met last Thursday evening for the pur pose of nominating aldermen and nam ing members of the central executive committee. The meetings were' well, attended and the following nomina tions were made : First Ward Aldermen, B. II. Merrl mon and C.G.Wright; member execu tive committee, C. H Ireland. Second Ward- Aldermen, P. D. Price and M. L. Shields; member executive committee, H. W. Wharton. Third Ward Aldermen, H. J. Elaia and W. T. Sergeant; member execu tive committee, J. S. Mlchaux. : - Fourth Ward Aldermen, J. M. Walker and Nell Ellington: member executive committee, E. J. Stafford. Fifth Ward Aldermen, M.Vudcanon and R. M. Phillip; member executive committee, E.E. Bain. - Sixth Ward Aldermen, J.S. Hunter and J. W. Merritt ; member executive committee, A. W. McAllster. - Tbe city convention was held In the court house Friday night, Mr. C. H. ' Ireland In the chair, and Mr. J, 8. Mlchaux and members of the Demo cratic press acting as secretaries. Tho convention was the largest held in re cent years, thus showing the interest and enthusiasm manifested by our: people in the welfare of the city. The utmost harmony and good feeling pre vailed, and all the nominations made by the primaries were ratified with gratifying ' unanimity. Mr. John J. Nelson, In a neat little speech, no ml- . natod Mr. Zeb. Vance Taylor for mayor. The nomination was seconded by Mr. Ed. M. Hendrix and Judge John Gray Bynum. Mr.John Thomas nominated Mr. C. N. McAdoo,' but withdrew the nomination just as a ballot was about to be taken. Mr. Taylor's nomination was then made by a rising vote. After the applause had subsided Mr. Taylor was called for and responded, acknowl edging the honor conferred upon him by tbe nomination in a happy and timely speech. Both before and after the convention there were rumors of a "citizens' ticket" being nominated by a few discontented Democrats in opposition to the regular nominees of the party. Strong efforts were made in this direction, and a ticket was autually gotten up, but as considerable trouble was experienced in securing nominees who would stick to the ticket, the plan was finally aban doned. A REPUBLICAN TICKET NOMINATED. - Emboldened by the threatened bolt from the Democratic ranks, the Re publican city executive committee met Saturday night, and after being In ses sion several hoars, produced the fol lowing ticket : " For Mayor G. Sam Bradshaw. For Aldermen W. II. Rees, R. G. White, Spencer B. Adams, WL. Scott, Ed. L. Rsgan, B. M. Bridges, J. A. Leonard, C. P. Frazler, John A. Hod gin, Jeremiah Cox, Robert D. Douglas and F. K. Trogdon. Several of thsie gentlemen published notices Monday morning saying tbey would not ran on this ticket. The election was held Monday and passed off -Very quietly, about nine hundred votes being polled. A few of the "faithful" were quite Active in their work for the Republican ticket, and there was some evidence of tbe stimu lating effect of that agency so often brought Into requisition about election times cashi A full Democratic vote was not polled is many Democrats, knowing tbe ticket to be an easy win ner, neglected to vote. When the work of counting tbe votes was ended It was found that Mr. Tay lor bad received C33 votes for mayor, Mr. Bradshaw receiving 221, It will be seen that Mr-Taylor's majority Is 414 almost twice tbe number of votes received by bis opponent. The Demo cratic nominee fof aldermen were elected by majorities ranging from 402 to 419. , The result is a great victory for Democracy and Insures to Greensboro a continuation of good city govern ment. Mr. Taylor has held the office of mayor for. about five months, bsving been elected by tbe board of aldermen to fill out the unexpired term of Mr. John J. Nelson. He has made a most efficient and active offlcial.dlicbarifing the duties of the office with credit to himself and honor to the city, no may be relied upon to give the same faithful service in tbe future. 1 - T - i 1--V t' v
