There were no
elections in the Townships of Townsend, Windham, Charlotteville
and Middleton, or in the villages of Port Dover, Port Rowan or
Waterford, the councils have been chosen without contest.
Simcoe
The people in Simcoe who
find it easy to pick winners in an election were much astray on
Monday's municipal elections. At the hour for the opening of the
polls it would have been difficult to find a wager of two to one
odds on Mayor Sihler -- while in Woodhouse the re-election of
George Hammond was generally looked for. The favorites went down
in both instances.
As
the day progressed in town it was apparent that Austin had behind
him a good organization and a band of enthusiastic helpers. The
vote was gotten out very thoroughly and was one of the largest
ever polled in town. At the close of the poll it was found that
the vote stood at:
Austin: 359, Sihler: 312.
Town
Councillor were voted for as follows:
A. A. Winter: 396 elected
C. F. Misner: 381 elected

W. L. Innes: 355 elected
L. C. Gibson: 345 elected
A. McKnight: 336 elected
