Totals for Essex County M e t — Bitteriy-fonghi Town Contests Marked by Few Upsets A sweeping vote ..of confidence was given the Republican admin- istration in North Elba township in the Genera] Election on Tuesday, as candidates of that party were either returned or elected to office by large margins over their Democratic opponents. Interest :n North Elba centered primarily on the fight for choice as supervisor between Willis Wells, Republican and present incumbent, and Jesse*Sharlette, Democrat. When the smoke of the election battle had cleared away Wells had polled 1500 votes to 873 for Sharlette, a plurality of 62?* for Wells. The rest of the town Republican ticket was swept into office by substantial majorities. One of the largest votes in years was cast throughout the county, 2446 votes were polled for officials in the four districts of North Elba alone. Essex county maintained its sta- tus as one of the counties in the state that the G. O. P. can always count on for huge Eepublican ma- jorities and rolled up impressive totals for every Republican candi- date on the county ticket. Wells's margin of 627 over Sharlette. contrasts with his plu- rality of 272 over P. J. Hennessy in the town election two years ago. In the election this year Wells carried every district, while two years ago, District No. 2, Saranac Lake, went for Hennessy 295 to... WOMEN BOWLERS START SERIES DR. THOMSEN TO ADDRESS A. A. U. W.
