The Washington Republican Washington County Friday April 9, 1897 City Election. Election in Washington was not a very exciting affair, but one ticket in the field made people lose interest. In all 252 people voted, and about 30 of them were women. One contest was made, the friends of Dad SMITH were determined on electing him street commissioner over Levi WARNER. Also a few people did not care to vote for W. CALVET, and voted for W.E. NIMS. Aside form these two there was but little scratching on the regular ticket, though the highest vote, 224, lacked 28 votes of getting the full strength, many tickets just had Dad Smith on them. The following is the result: E.B. BOX, for mayor, 220 Councilmen, E.H. BORDNER, 224, R.H. BRADEN, 221, W. CALVET, 165, W.E. NIMS, 43, E.A. AYRES, 221, G.W. OSBORN, 212; Police Judge, C.F. SMITH, 221; City Clerk, Dave BAUMBERGER, 215; City Marshal, C.M. LEE, 223; Street Commissioner, Levi WARNER, 132, and Dad SMITH, 99.
