It was a glorious victory Monday. It meant no unnecessary bonding for Ann Arbor. It was a vindication of the Argus at the hands of the voters. It was a personal victory for Arthur Brown, who was bitterly assailed by the republicans. The floating vote was gathered in by the republicans in the usual Judson manner. It was a defeat for Judson, who also lost in Ypsilanti and in Chelsea. It was a victory for the quiet voter, for the republicans who were able to rise above partisanship. If the election had been held Saturday, before the distribution of the republican campaign fund, Brown's majority would have been much larger. As it was Brown carried the second ward by 70, the third by 32, the fourth by 51 and the fifth by 21, while Kempf carried the first by 26, the sixth by 66 and the seventh by 36. Walz carried the first by 17, the second by 158 and the fourth by 26, while Esslinger carried the third by 17, the fifth by 11, the sixth by 62 and the seventh by 29. Granger made a big run, carrying every ward in the city excepting the sixth, which Moore carried by 67. Granger's majority in the first was 31, in the second 176, in the third 93, in the fourth 19, in the fifth 18, in the seventh 16. On the other hand, Seyler carried every ward but the second, where Watts' majority was 67. Seyler's majorities were: First 77, third 30, fourth 59, fifth 19, sixth 112, seventh 70. Justice Doty, however, made the big run, carrying every ward except the sixth, where Frueauff's majority was 38. Doty's majorities were: First 51, second, 132, third 69, fourth 71, fifth 11, seventh 14. Arthur Brown is mayor. He carries the city by 48. John Walz, Jr., is president of the council by a majority of 82. Ross Granger is clerk with a majority of 285. William G. Doty is justice with a majority of 306. The only republican on the city ticket is Edward L. Seyler, assessor, by 300. Mr. Watts made as good a run as any democrat could make, but the people have got in the habit of re-electing assessors. It was a hard fight Monday. All day the workers put in their best work. There were large crowds about the polling places than usual and there was a feeling of uncertainty throughout the day. The floating , element was apparently for Kempf. The greatest interest was shown in the election of mayor but there was also a good deal of cutting on the rest of the ticket. Both democrats and republicans were cutting their tickets.

Election Notes. A. J. Sawyer, sr., will no longer be both city attorney and Ann Arbor railroad attorney. The president of the Ann Arbor Water company did not vote for Arthur Brown. The mud-slinging of the Times failed to gain votes for the republican candidates. Judson failed to carry the second ward, although claims were made to that effect before election, but the democratic majority in that ward was considerably cut down. The hardest fights of the day were in the third and fourth wards. The democrats only carried these wards with the aid of republican votes. The democrats won after a clean campaign. Their campaign fund was a very small one and simply sufficed for legitimate expenses. If the bonding issue had not been befogged by the introduction of other issues the result would have been more sweeping. The Argus feels very happy, thank you. The policy of keeping the city from a heavy floating debt has been sustained. The city laborers may expect to get their pay immediately after Mayor Brown's inauguration. Mayor Brown will undoubtedly make a fine record for himself during the next two years. There will be six new faces on the council. Mayor Copeland was turned down by the republican convention and the voters turned down those two turned him down. If the mayor had not been following the advice of his city attorney he would probably have been extremely popular with the voters. A leading democrat predicted last night that Titus F. Hutzel would be the coming leader of the council. Dan Fletcher made a big run for alderman in the seventh, being defeated by only 3 votes. The Schumacher Brothers are certainly runners. Burt was elected supervisor in the republican seventh by 68, and Phil was elected alderman in the fourth by 73. Judge Harriman made a fine run in the republican sixth, being beaten by only 10.
