THE WINNIPEG EVENING TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1934 Three Aldermanic Candidates Elected on First Count Rice Jones, Honeyman Over Quota in Ward One; Simpkin in Two Alderman W. B. Lowe Practically Certain to Retain Seat in Ward One Anderson Short I of Quota in Ward Two, But Likely to Be i Carried By Simpkin's Big Surplus Com munist Heads Polls in Ward Three, But! None of Candidates on First Count. AMi rman JE. D.

Honeyman, K.C. and C. Rice Jones fn Ward One, nd Alderman James Simpkin in Ward Two, were the only three of the fcS aldermen candidates elected on the first count in Friday's municipal lection. The is not sufficiently far advanced io forecast with any 0rtaiijty, probable new members of the 1935 council. On ths figures they now stand ths new members seem likely to be F.

H. Davidson In Ward Two, and in Ward Three, M. J. Forkin and Col. Dan McLean.

The representation to Ward One likely to be unchanged. A quota of 4.757 was required to" elect in Vaid One. Alderman Rice Jone got 4,853 choices and Hcncyman 4j.se i. Lowe ie only 279 tt nrt of liie quota. In Ward Two, Alderman Simpkin ran well over the quota of 4.432 reeded to elect him, and hie eurphis of 1.015 votes Is hkelv to aj'ect his I LP.

colleague, Aeruiaa B. Anderson. Parkin Headed Poll Kone of the candidates Veached the quota of 4,617 In Ward Three. On the fir count. M.

J. Forkin, Communmt, headed the poll with 4.33. For the third place In Wan! One, AMermnn W. B. Low conceded ih a'ancc.

j. Thompson was fourth with 2.803, end If he secured all the votes on the first few transfers It would be possible for him to lead Alderman Lowe by 200 or 300 votes. In their order on the count, the panning of the other three Ward One candidates is 944; Nesti, 630, and A. F. Low, 251 Has Big Surplus Alderman Simpkin's big surplus Jn Ward Two almost sure to go Alderman Anderson, and this would give him second place in the field over F.

H. Davidson, former mayor and alderman. If this it would be difficult for the other candidates to overtake either of them. At the moment Jlr. Davidson seems to have a good chance of returning to the city council.

The only big change in ths Ward Two standing will Vnme on elimination of some candidate who secured 1.500 or 1.800 first choices, but by this time both Anderson and Davidson are likely to too high for reasonable chance of defeat The first choices of the other Ward Two candidates were: Helton, Mrs. Maclennan, 1519; S. Simkln, 839; Hardern, 729; Clancy, 620; Magnacea, 6o5; lira. Kirk, 491, and Walmsley, 415. Mr.

Forkin, the Communist candidate in Ward Three, headed the poll. He can expect few tsecond choices from the ballots of eliminated candidates, but as he Is only 24S below the quota, it seeaij improbable he will not get this small number. Ag nn aldermanlo candidate, he ran below his vote In the mayoralty race of 1933, when his flrrt choices were 4.695. In the aldermanic con teft Frday his first choices were 4 369. If elected, he wi'l be the Becon.l Communist alderman in the council.

The other is Alderman Penner. Alderman M. A. Gray, with 8,821 first choices, is almost certain of re election. Anyone's Guest For the third Ward Three seat In anyone's guess, and every transfer will be watched with the keen ALDERMEN OVER QUOTA ON if m.ji i.
