C. Trueblood for mayor and Ned W. Frost and Chas. H. Stump for councilmen, went over the top in easy style proving- that it represented the largest constituency in Cody. The Citizens ticket, headed by Paul R. Greever and supported by Lloyd Buchanan and L. D. Wagar, received a substantial support but lacked more than one hundred votes of election. The election in Cody yesterday was one of the most friendly af fairs to be staged in the Buffalo Bill town for several years. Altho both sides were very active in be half of the candidates, mud-slinging of the kind used in some former campaigns was not in evidence and the voters were rushed to the polls to vote their choice. Five hundred and thirteen votes were cast in the mayorality con tests, which is not an unusually heavy poll, there having been con tests staged in recent years when the votes would total well over 600. The votes as cast at yesterday’s election are as follows: Cooperative Ticket .Trueblood 309 Frost 284 Stump 338 Citizen’s Ticket Greever 1 204 Buchanan 187 Wagar 19 6 Little may be said of the newly elected members of the town coun cil.
