Prutzman learned later that this was not valid, that the stickers had to be pasted in the empty space provided for them. the mistake was discovered at 1 p. Prutzman estimated he gave away about 70 sample ballots.

During the primary, Prutzman had to make an all-out effort to get all of his campaign literature delivered, after it had been delayed inadvertently at the post offtce. P.VIJL I. KOMIG TThlrff Ward) (Fifth Ward) These six Republicans were elected to Pottstown borough council yesterday to give the GOP an 11 to 8 majority in councilmanic voting. There is one contest to be decided, in the Second Ward, where a tie J. WAVNF (Seventh W'ard) A EMEKV LORD Ttighth Ward) resulted.

The Republicans lost councilmanic control two years ago after a 10-10 split developed at the election four years ago. Lawler, Weis, Knause and Reifsnyder were incumbents. Elected School Directors mittee had 70 workers and 40 cars in operation. Control of council went back to the Republicans who had lost it in 1945, after ten years in control. 1947, the Democrats had 11 men in council.

One of the biggest lipsets in the borough was the defeat of J. Max Creswell, one of leading Democrats and a party policy maker. He headed the police committee, w'hich was under fire for year.s, Cresw'ell wa.s defeated by Paul I. Romig, who made his debut into local in a big way. Tlie vote was 370 for Romig.

305 for Creswell. Creswell wa.s seeking a second term in council. He also headed the finance, sanitary, water and airport committee.s during his busy four year term. SHAW DECIDED to enter the school race the past Summer after The Mercury urged an "open with candidates other than those selected by politicians. Two of the successful Democrats were incumbents seeking another term.

They were: William dell. Fourth, and W. Mark Henricks, Tenth. No incumbent Democratic councilman w'as defeated. Of the Republican manic four were incumbents.

They were Peter Lawler, Third; Ralph Weis, Fifth, who had no opposition; I William IL Reifsnyder. Sixth, and J. Wayne Knause, Seventh. No incumbent Republican was defeated, either. In addition to Romig, one other Republican newcomer.

Emery Lord, from the Eighth ward, will be welcomed to town council when it reorganizes in January. Lawler won a third term from the Third ward bv defeating Michael W. Sweda, 233-196. In the Fourth ward, Twaddell won a second term, receiving 197 votes to the 115 of Anthony L. Bianchini.

Reifsnyder, the veteran of council, was chosen to his fifth four-year term from the Sixth ward. He received 648 votes, his Democratic opponent, Dee F. Wampler, 489, In the Seventh ward, J. Knause was elected to a term. He beat Walter F.

Swavely, who also ran second in 1945, by 460-422, The heavily populated Eighth ward chose Lord over Joe L. Bowen, 666-493. 4i I The Ninth ward situation was complicated by the sticker campaign of Harry E. Prutzman. Piutzman, however, received only 13 votes, the lowest of any candidate in the borough.

He also was beaten in the Sept. 13 prmiary by Gustav H. Schade labor leader who won for the Dem- yesterday. Schade's tally was 627. and his Republican Raymond it.

Shirey. 538. A sticker candidate, William Rhoades, also ran in the Tenth ward, receiving 93 votes. Rhoades was supported by the FAC but this failed to help him. The winner, Henricks, was chosen to his second term, but his first full term.

He came to coimcil two years ago to fill the unexpired term of William G. Bernhart, who resigned, Henricks received 320 votes and the Republican candidate, Leonard Drumheller, 276. In addition to winning the aurgess post, the Democrats had the victory of Gerald J. Prior for auditor to console them when the iults came in early this morning. Prior teat his opponent, Harry D.
