Although there were close and bitter legislative con- ests {n several of the Assembly districts, there was no outward evidence of the fact. The police were cornaments; they made fewer arr than on a day of or- | dinary life. The saloons in most cases | were closed and drunkenness was such an exception as to be extremely notice- able. There was no attempt at lllegal voting, as the new signature requirement, demanding of every voter that he sign his name in the elcction booth upon a regis- ter, had a very salutary effect. In what follows is given, district by district, the story of the city’s model election. MARTIN KELLY LEFT IN DISGUSTED LONELINESS The South-Side Battalions of the Dol- lar Boss Desert His Discredited Standards at the Polls. A heavy vote was polled in the Twenty- eighth, Twenty-ninth, Thirtieth and Thir- ty-first districts. When the voting booths opened at 6 o'clock citizens stood in line ready to cast their ballots. Having done their duty they proceeded to their work. Before noon half the number of voters whose names were on the precinet regis- ter had cast their ballots. During the afternoon the siragglers entered the elec- tion booths and deposited their votes. Not an incident to amount to anything happened in these Assembly districts. The police.on duty at every voting place lolled around. Their office for the time was a sinecure. The Gay passed without a dis- pute or a fistic battle, according to the re- ports made by the officers. A feature of the election was the absence of drunken men. This was due to the absolute en- forcement of the law compelling saloons to close during the hours of voting. A number of saloon men, however, were tempted to sell liquor to visitors to their places, and several arrests were made by Sergeants Mahoney and Wolff. The latter visited the numerous drink places in the district, and where they saw men partak- | ing of refreshments they apprehended the in They submitted a lengthy re- port to their capt: and it is under- | stood that the violats of the law will be called upon to show cause to the Commis- sioners of Police why they should not be | deprived of their licenses. Little electioneering was done imside the 100-foot limit. structed not to permit this violation of the election law, and they _carrled out | their orders to the letter. Martin Kelly | was conspicuous in the Twenty-eighth and Twenty-ninth cistricts. He was pleased to | say that everything was going very nicely. | In the Thirty-first and irty-seconid districts, which embrace the south side | from Seventeenth street to Eighth, elec- | tion day passed off with but little to dis- | tinguish it from any other day of t | week. A heavy vote was cast. A rough estimate placing it at more than two thirds of the registration. All day long, and the day was sultry. scores of men formed scouting partles to the various corner groceries, but it was in vain. The police vigilance resulted in not a salocn opening its doors in dispens- ing liquor, which, no doubt, aceounts for the absence of excitement which pre- vailed. The policemen stood outside the.r appointed polling booths with nothing to do but logk for the trouble that never came. ‘At the noon hour things were even mora qufet, though Over in the factory region overalled voters took advantage of the time to go and place their vote. Alto- gother this election day will go down in the annals of the south side electors as “just like Sunday.” WOLFE REPUDIATED BY REPUTABLE VOTERS Citizens of All Parties Unite to Force Him in Disgrace Behind His | Ticket in Two Districts. If an election was being held in the Thirty-sixth, Thirty-seventh, Thirty- eighth or Fortleth districts nobody knew of it unless he was privileged to enter one of the polling places to cast his vote. There he found the election officers pa tiently waiting for the next vote to be cast and to all questions regarding the situation the same answer would be pro- nounced: “It's the quietest election we have ever e ction west of Devisadero street in the four districts named the voting was heavy and most of the ballots were cast before 1 g;hm. In the Sixteenth Pre- cinct of the Thirtv-seventh District 157 ballots had been cast out of a total of 213 registered at the same time.

In that precinct and in_the Twenty-first Precinct it was evident from ‘whisperings™ that E. . Wolfe, candidate | for State Senator, was running behind his ticket. Willlam E. White, the Democratic candidate, seemed to be having it all his own way, though the two precincts are | generally regarded as Republican. Fran Kerrigan was pumng up a great fight for the short term for Superior Judge. The Democrats were supporting him in large | numbers. ] In the Seventeenth Precinct of the For- tleth District 177 votes were polled out of 248 at 2 o'clock and the election officers themselves said they did not know that an_election was going on. _Along Point Lobos avenue at the same time the rec- ords showed 184 votes polied out of 261 in the Eighteenth Precinct of the Fortieth District; 219 out of 257 in_the Nineteenth | Precinct of the Fortieth District, and 156 out of 263 in the Twentieth Precinect of thc | Fortieth District. In the Eighteenth Precinct of the Thirty- ! sixth Assembly District 315 votes were polled out of 3% at 3 o'clock. In this pre- cinct a voter refused to mark his ballot. | He insisted on it being put into the bal-| lot-box in blank form and he was ac-| commodated by the Judge of the election, who ruled that a_man was at liberty 1o | vote as he desired, though his particular preferences would fa!l to be tallied. In the Twenty-first Precinct of the Thirty-seventh District there remained but thirty votes to be cast ot of 30 at 4 o'clock, and the Fourteenth Precinct of the Thirty-eighth District showed that | forty citizens had vet failed to use their elective franchise. TUp to 5 o'clock not a single arrest had been made at either the Park police sta- | tion on Stanyan street or the North End | station on O Farrell street. In none of | the precincts mentioned were any chal- | lenges fssued, and the officers in charge of | the various polling places were not called upon at any tme during the day to quell | the slightest disturbance. | Chief of Police Sullivan, accompanied | by Captain Wittman, visited every poll!ns piace in the four districts mentioned and | were highly eratified at ;h:hfix_;)ee‘ which | v 3 v e = ookou s ‘apen salbors, but he failed to discover a single instance of any violation of the luw. The report that the Police t‘om-[ missioners would revoke the license of any saloon-keeper found open ore 5 p. m. had a salutary effect on the proprie- tars and even the proverbial little “sfde door’” was closed, though it was said that if one were pretty well known he would be admitted to quench a peeded the operation. ‘which .
