It saw the election of Republican Harry W. Spaulding, who defeated Democratic incumbent Charles C. Hayes and Socialist candidate William J.In the Democratic primary, held on October 23, 1921, incumbent mayor Moise Verrette won renomination over challenger Charles D. Ward by a large margin.However, upon the entrance of alderman Adolph Wagner as an independent candidate, the race began to be considered a tossup between Moreau and Conner.It saw the reelection of Republican incumbent Andrew E. Moreau, who defeated state senator William G. McCarthy, the Democratic nominee.It saw the election of Democratic nominee Damase Caron, who unseated Republican incumbent Arthur E. Moreau by a roughly 1,500-vote margin of victory.[25] Also, a coinciding referendum saw the voters approve limited hours of sports and amusements to take place on Sundays, partially rolling-back the city's blue laws.It saw the reelection of Democratic incumbent Damase Caron, who defeated Republican nominee John Jacobson Jr. by a margin of 2,924 votes.[32] In the coinciding municipal elections, the Democratic Party won a majority of ten of the thirteen seats on the city's Board of Aldermen.[56] Incumbent mayor John C. Mongan, who was serving his second nonconsecutive term, lost his attempt at renomination in the October 7 Republican primary election to Harry Pariseau.Incumbent mayor Charles R. Stanton, who had been appointed by the city's Board of Aldermen after the death in office of Harry Pariseau, did not seek to a full term.[60] In the Democratic primary, optometrist Sylvio Dupuis defeated New Hampshire state senators George Morrissette and William McCarthy, as Alphonse Bledeau, Lloyd Dasinow, and Angela Lafond.It saw the reelection of incumbent Democrat Sylvio Dupuis, who defeated Republican nominee Norman Gauthier in a landslide victory.[5][64] Stanton defeated Republican nominee George Lacourse and independent candidate Lloyd Basinow in a landslide victory.This argument was undercut days prior to the election when New Hampshire attorney general David Souter disclosed that an investigation had failed to find any criminal activity.It saw the election of Republican nominee Robert F. Shaw, who unseated first-term Democratic incumbent Emile Beaulieu by a roughly 1,400 vote margin (53% to 47%).Many of the candidates running in the 1984 Democratic Party presidential primaries had been courting his endorsement, with several of their campaigns even having their staff support Bealieu's reelection effort by holding signs outside polling places on election day.[74] In late October, Michael Kranish of the Boston Globe wrote, "While a Democratic victory in this blue-collar city would hardly sway the political winds in the rest of the state, it would at least be a psychological boost for the party faithful.[73] John Burns, the executive director of the Republican Party of New Hampshire, publicly admitted that he believed, "it would be a setback of sorts if we lost the race.[74] Poirier portrayed Shaw as being an ill-tempered autocrat that intended on increasing property taxes without making improvements to city services.[80][81] Beaulieu's top issues were providing adequate police and fire protection, and enabling the city's departments and boards to operate with minimal interference from his mayoral administration.[81] In the time since his previous term as mayor had ended, Beaulieu had served as president and board member of the Easter Seal Society and Goodwill Industries.[81] Contrary to the hands-off approach Beaulieu was proposing to take with the city's departments and boards if elected, Wieczorek stated that he planned to have an active role in the operations of them.It saw the election of Republican nominee Raymond Wieczorek, who unseated Democratic incumbent Emile Beaulieu by margin of 1,639 votes.[85] Dystra pledged to implement zero-based budgeting if elected mayor, which was the method already used by the state government in which it made departments prove claims that they needed more funding.[79] For instance, Dykstra had, around the time of her campaign, she cast a vote against the Board of Alderman allowing the city to potentially issue a $13 million bond to fund an underground parking garage for the controversial proposed Market Square development.It saw the reelection of Republican incumbent Raymond Wieczorek, who won a landslide victory over Hillsborough County commissioner John J. McDonough, who was the Democratic nominee.[89] Weiczorek admitted to his failure to actualize his plan to cut the city budget and identify cost savings had been unsuccessful, but defended himself by saying, "I certainly tried through."He characterized the budget he had been left by his Democratic predecessor Emile Beaulieu as having been a "political one" with sizeable gaps in spending that required resolving, and with labor contracts he lacked the power to change without the consent of the Democratic-majority Board of Aldermen.Weiczorek proposed a five-year capital plan to fund upgrades and reconstruction of roads, bridges, sewers, and water systems.His plans included hiring a new coordinator in charge of the recruitment of new business and industry to the city, a job which he said had been vacant for over a year.
