In the Council the Citizens‘ League forces have won but by a narrower majority. Toâ€"day they elected Messrs Sullivap, in ward 1; Fowler, in ward 2: Davidson, in ward 4, and Fisher, in ward 3. For Labor, Messrs. Queen, in ward 5, Jones, in ward 7, and Blumâ€" berg, in ward 6, are the winners.‘ > WE';lea;wnh the present Labor men in the Council this will give the citizens a majority. The addition of the vote of the mayor will assure that the labor eleâ€" ment will not be able to carry out the reactionary policy on which they buiit their platform for the most exâ€" citing civic election in local history or, as it has been termed _ "the second round of the fight which started last June." 5 The election in Ward Six was the closest one, and was in doubt until the last poll was received.
