Election in French Oceania
From Our Own Correspondent.
Papeete, Nov. 9.
LECTION day (November 8) brought to an end one of the most exciting cam paigns seen in French Oceania.
The contest was between two candidates for the office of Deputy, to represent the colony at Paris. The contestants were: Monsieur Emile Sari, a Senator from Corsica; and Monsieur Gaston Monner ville, Deputy for French Guiana.
At the present writing the returns show a decided majority in favour of Monsieur Sari.
The figures received from Tahiti, Moorea, Raiatea, Makatea, Gambier Islands, Tubuai, the Marquesas Islands and Apataki show: Monsieur Sari 2098 votes Monsieur Monnerville 1155 votes The reports from those islands which do not possess wireless apparatus will be de layed; but they do not contain sufficient voting power to alter materially the above result.
