No Choice for Mayor at Monday's
Primary. A Very Orderly But Hotly
Contested Primary.
The most hotly contested municipal
campaign ever waged in the city of
Klnston resulted in the election of a
board of alderman but no choice for
mavor, at yesterday's primary.
For the past two weeks the political
pot has been , boilintr Quietly In this
city and the result, on account of the
very large silent vote, was a prolbem
that no one ventuced to solve.
Each candidate and the candidate's
friends were in a quiet way making
good whenever the opportunity pre
sented itself and the consequence was
that a large percentage of the qualified
voters went to the polls yesterday and
cast a ballot tor their choice.
y while considerable interest was
manifested in the several wards for
aldermen the chief concern of the
voters, of course, centered " on the
fight for mayor ,
From the opening of the polls at
6 o'clock in the morning to. the close
at U o'clock last night there was no
lack of interest on the part of the can
didates or tne people.
Of the o77 votes cast Tor mayor, no
candidate received enough to no-nl-
eate him that is a majority, or 3W.
The vote for mayor was as follows:
Webb, 280; Rouse, 268, and Midyetto,
12.
There ' being no nomination for
mayol the executive committee ordered
a second primary to oe neio to
morrow at the court house under the
same rules and regulations governing
the primary of yesterday.
There will very likely be three can
didates voted for and the interest will
be great in tomorrow's primary also.
The election oi yesterday was re
markable for its warmth and at the
same time the freedom from unpleas
ant incidents, except in a few minor
matters, to mar the occasion.
Below we irive the certified report ot
the judges of the primary submitted to
the , Democratic executive committee
and incorporated into : the report of
