Elyria Election Yields Close Races and Shifts in City Hall
A historic Elyria vote elected Republican A. Baird as mayor for two years, with Leonard Fisk losing by about five hundred. Council president Leonard Smith won in a tight race, while HC Cheney defeated John K. Neve for city solicitor. Ward and at‑large council seats went to several Republicans, and tax measures faced strong opposition as voters backed the ten mill tax cap and limited city spending.
