Show ELECTION IS WON BY PROGRESSIVES Three members of the present Milford town administration, Mayor O. F. Ilubliell and Trustees George Litchfield and Willard Nichols, were reelected to office by nice majorities in the municipal election Tuesday, reflecting, in unmistakable manner, the pieference of the .majority of iocal citizens that things should remain re-main "as U", in regard to the handling hand-ling of town affairs. R y Cottrell and Dr. Lloyd F. Kohler, present mem!ers of the Ixiard, chose to run on the Citizens ticket, nominated some' three weeks in advance of the Progres-ive ticket, and went down to defeat though Cottrell made a very good showing in Tuesdays voting. Their places on the town board of trustees will be taken after the fir.-t of the year, by Harold (Vic) Carlson and Spencer Scow, who are young and new at this line of community activity, but wiii undoubtedly make good. The campaign leading- up to election, elec-tion, while promising all the time to be exciting, was kept unusally free of personalities and disagreeable references, re-ferences, and, as a re.-ult, the administration ad-ministration of town affairs can proceed pro-ceed with little or no disturbance at a time when earnest and constructive work is needed in the administration of the business of the town. The two-year term of office to which Mr. Hubbell is now elected will be the fifth time he has been designated to serve the people of Mii-ford Mii-ford and evidence's the feeling of confidence in which the electorate hold him. The vote on the wet and dry issue in Milford was overwhelmingly for repeal -both of national and state prohibition legistation the total vote for state repeal in Milford having been 442 for repeal to 77 against or nearly 6-to-l. The minimum wage amendment for women and children also carried by big odds but the exact ex-act figures are not available. |
