"I *r« ••W Wins With Majority of Only 20 Votes —Byorum and Dorman Elected Commissioners, John Lynch Magis trate and J. E. Burke, Justice. Minot's city election Tuesday was interesting to say the least. When the votes were counted, It. was found that Judge N. Davis' had defeated his nearest opponent, Howard Elliott, So cialist candidate, by only 20 votes. A total of 954 vote* had been past. H. K. Byorum was re-elected to the commission with a very large ma jority, demonstrating the popularity of that official. D. C. Dorman, So cialibt, was also elected commission er, defeating M. H. S?holberg, F. L. Householder and J. A. Roell. The Socialists voted as a man and then Dorman must have pulled some other votes. Those opposed to the Social ist candidate split their votes between the other three candidates, givin? Dorman the required majority. John Lynch was elected police mag istrate by a big majority. J. E. Burke was elected city justice of the peace and R- II. Bosard, park com missioner. The ftght for presidnnt was the most interesting in years, many be lieving that because there were four candidates in the field, the Socialist candidate was likely to win. The re suit was largely due to the fact that several forces early Tuesday morning united for Davis. There is some talk of a contest, it bein? alleged by some of the Social ists that there was iUeasl voting in tho sixth ward. wP"'" ./t 'r Elliott received a fine vote in the third ward, 112 to 60 for Davis. In the second ward, Elliott received 9*' votes to Davis' 60. In the sixth ward, Davis received 129 votes to Elliott's 45. The vote follows: Prosl8cnt— N. Davis—363. H. Elliott—343. VV. E.
