M. H. Ingersoll known as Bob and a Cornell law graduate has been nominated on Ballard Republicans ticket for city attorney. He has lived in Ballard three years and is popular among locals. He previously hunted for gold in Alaska and is expected to lead his ticket.
L and Hawley, councilman of Ballard's Second ward, denounces the Brewer electric franchise while claiming the Hallard Electric Co has monopolized the city for two years yet failed to fulfill franchise terms, leaving the city in darkness.

The agitation is alleged to be backed by Ballard Electric to secure the position, while Brewer's franchise enjoys broad local backing from Ballard's leading citizens.
