The majority of votes cast for Cheek was the largest that any candidate has received in recent years. He was the choice for First Marshal of 230 more voters than his nearest competitor. The total vote cast yesterday was smaller than last year's, although much larger than that of the two previous years.
Cooke received the greatest majority outside of the Marshal election, in the contest for Odist. The largest number of ballots, 22 in all, were thrown out in the election of Class Poet. Ballots were thrown, out if the instructions posted at the polls were not followed out.
