Mayor Walker

Never before in the history of Ann Arbor has there been so much splitting of votes at the election as at that held yesterday. The people went into the booths and marked their own ballots to suit themselves without paying much attention to the vignettcs. To show the difference in the votes, by combining the highest and lowest votes on each ticket in every ward, the following surprising result is arrived at. The total highest republican vote is i,299, and the total lowest republican vote is 911. While the total highest democratie vote is 1,280, and the total lowest 886. Nothing personal was urged against Mr. Jacobs' candidacy. But he was obliged to carry the load of the board of public works, while in one quarter be was said to be for Banfield and in another quarter against hira. Mayor-elect Walker again proved his claims to being a magniricent runner. All things con sidered his magnificent victory of yesterday was only in line with his narrow defeat of last year, when in the face of tremendous odds he came near snatching victory. The vote is given in detail below. Warren E. Walker made an eleganc run for mayor and receives the handsome plurality of 206 votes. He carries the second ward by 171, the third by 86, the fourth by 69 and the fifth by 31, a total of 357, while Mr. Jacobs carries the first by 35, the sixth by 94 and the seventh by 22, a total of 151.
