Former Magistrate, However, Wins Demo·
~ratic Nomination; School Directors
.. , Elected Without Opposition
.. Narberth voters settled their election dispute last Tuesday
by nominating otto B. Duer and Louis Jenkins as Republican
candidates for Justice of the Peace in a three-way contest.
,- Fred Walzer, colorful character and former magistrate for
22 years, was defeated.
Jenkins was high man, receiving
819 votes as the total of the three
election districtlcts; Duer followed
with 753 and Walzer received 517.
The magistrate term is for six
. years. Both Duer and Jenkins hold
office by appointment to till vacan-
cies.
i., While the RepubJleans were mak-
Ing thclr selections, the Democrats,
who were without candidates for
local offices. expressed their fran-
chise with write-Ins for the three
magistrate candidates. On the basis
~.
of these 'write-ins. \Valzcl' won the
Democratic nomination. The Dem-
ocratic vote was 53 for Walzer, 36
fOr Jenkins and 33 for lDuer. This
,.. was Interesting because during the
campaign Duel' charged Walzel'
with serving time as a registel'ed
Democrat and \Valzer retaliated by
pointing out that Duer also served
five years of his life as a registered
Democrat.
The magistrate vote by district
was as follo",'s:
First District: Walzer, 189; Duer.
269; Jenkins, 282.
'. Second District: Walzer, 239;
Duer, 312; Jenkins. 359.
Third District: Walzer, 811; Duer,
172; Jenkins, 178.
Republican electors also nomi-
nated th,rec candidates for the Bor-
ough Councll. two school directors
and an auditor. They were all un-
opposed and their Republican nom-

Walt Cantwell gave Ma.noa Its
second straight victory over Pen-

six hits and blanking the~ after
the first inning. Cantwell didn't
arrive until just before game time
and didn't have much time to
warm up. As a result he passed
three batters in' the first inning and
he actuaily was lucky to get by
with only two runs against him.
Both were driven.ln by George
