leaders
began
to
emerge.
Mayor
Arnold's
majority
showed
up
in
the
first
survey
and
grew
steadily
as
the
counting
continued.
One
of
the
highlights
of
the
counting
was
the
heavy
vote
polled
by
J.
Ralph
Morin,
who
at
one
time
achieved
a
one-vote
lead
over
Alderman
Rudderham
to
head
the
aldcrmanic
vote.
Final
count,
however,
found
him
ln
second
place.
Mr.
Morin,
although
a
well-
known
pioneer
of
the
city,
had
taken
little
part
ln
civic
politics
up
to
the

Alderman
Youngs
was
the
only
one
of
the
three
present
aldermen
who
sought
re-election
to
lose
his
seat
on

The
election
gives
the

an

six
