The election officers had so little to do early in the day that they sunned them- selves in front of booths between votes. Most of the afternoon was spent in guess- ing as to the results. Joseph 8. Tobin went to the polls about 10 o'clock, his voting booth being in the rear of the Palace Hotel, in front of tne army headquarters on New Montgomery street. He was the sixty-third voter. He stood the ordeal of the snapshot fiends without flinching and_marked his ticket from top to bottom. His friends cheered him as he left the booth. In none of the precincts of this portion of “the city did any of the election or po- lice officers have any trouble in preserving the }Jeace. The districts where trouble usually occurs were s quiet as on a Sun- aay.

The day was a remarkably quiet one, there being no disturbance of any sort in any of the districts occupying that por- tion of the city beyond Twelfth street. At every voting precinct in the Thirty- fourth, Thirty-fifth and Thirty-sixth dis- tricts most of the votes were deposited early in the morning. At noon quite a number of voters gathered at the polls and.voted, and from this time until the polls closed at 5 o'clock the bootus were never crowded. The number of ballofs cast in the Mission districts did not equal the numbers party leaders predicted. TUnusual quiet r:arked the passing of the day in the Forty-fourth and Forty-fifth districts. The police had no occasion to make arrests and there were but one or two slight disturbances. In the Latin quarter the heaviest portion of the vote was placed in the ballot box before noon and but few went to the polls after 3 o'clock. The vote on the whole was not MATYOR. ] FRED’K FRANKENTHAL... 7,055 large. Many of those qualified to vote did not avail themselves of the opportunity. When the count was commenced in the Thirteenth Precinct of the Thirty-ninth District an effort was made to rush it through by tallying off a number of bal- { lots at once. This confused the clerks and after the count had progressed for about an hour there were many serious dis- crepancies in the tally sheets. A recount was commenced, but for some reason the old difficulty again presented itself. After a third attempt the mistakes were rectified. Discount Election Warrants. Four warrant brokers stood in the hall- way in front of the Registrar’s office last night, buying up the warrants of elec- tion officers at a considerable discount. They had large sacks of money with them and succeeded in doing a big busi- ness.

COBB TEST OF NEW PROCESS FOR SMELTING ORES California Company E.opes to Revolu- tionize the Methods That Are Now in Use. 3 SAN DIEGO, Nov. 5.—The plans of the | California Iron Company for the first demonstration that the Trapp heating, roasting and smelting furnace can turn out pig iron from the ore in much shorter time and at a much-less expense than by old processes are about completed. The demonstration will'be made on 100 tons of ore from the Tepustete mines of Lower California within two weeks. The company has been incorporated in Phoenix with a capital of $1,000,000, but BSan Diego is given as its place of busi- ness. It is proposed to handle iron, cop- per, gold and silver ores—in fact, any ore that has to be smelted. »For the furnace it is claimed that with a plant costing only one-tenth of what present smelters cost the smelting can be done at little more than 50 per cent of the present cost of turning out the metal from the ore. The one furnace now erected has a ca- pacity of about forty tons a day, and the ant can be increased simply by increasing the number of similar furs races. The money. is behind the com- pany for the erection of a large plant as soon as the practicability of this first fur- race is demonstrated. e et R TR S Stops the Cough ‘works off the cold.

The warm belt of the Mis- sion became as hot as a glass retort and even the chilly precincts of the Potrero and South San Francisco wers surcharged with a torrid ltmal; e that obviated the necessity of si epping the bay breezes to keep warm. It was certainly a_memorable election day. Out in the y-first “Lefty” Bannon managed to slide through the day without being “pinched” for voting dead men, and down in the Twenty-eight “Split Lip” Collins succeeded in doing his an- nual election stunt without getting a black eye. Warrant Clerk Johnnie Greeley was called away from the booth on Second and Bryant streets several times to get con- stituents out of jall for violating the 100- foot regulation and Larry Conlon spent his time driving hackloads of challenged voters out to the Registrar's office. Sam Rainey held down his usual seat in the Bush-street stables and nmearly had an attack of heart failure when the fire bell rang about 4 o'clock. Henry - Gallagher, Harry Brennan and “Hot Air” Kelly drove down to the elec-, tion booth on Harrison near: Fourth, about 4 o'clock in the morning| and waited there until the polls o).ng so they could vote for Tobin before the teamsters from the Overland barn got out of the stable. In the Thirty-second & labor agitator spolled a ballot. Ome of the imspectors opened it up and found a cross behind the name of every Democratic candidate from the Mayor down to Police Judge. A son of Erin stood outside an eldction booth on Brannan street declaring his principles to a crowd. “Faith an’ I'm ,a Schmitz man,” he yelled at the top Of his voice. “Sure, an’ he’s wun iv our own kind iv people. He hez a Ditch name, but his mother wuz a Clare woman an’ phawt is_the loikes of me doin’ wid th' loiks iv_Joe Tobin an’ hiz red coat, anyway.” When he came out of the booth one of the bystanders asked him If he had voted for Schmitz. “You kin bet yu're hod agin a clay poipe I did,” he sald. “I put me little chross behint th’ name iv both Wells an’ Tobin!™ Eddie Graney had an opportunity to blow off steam. Eddle spends his time between elections listening. He is known as the best listener in politics. Graney will listen to any kind of. political guft from the time-worn story of how Hoss Higgins used to manage things down to the details of how Captain Crowe and Jim O’Brien did the funeral stunt that made them political powers in the Thirty-first. Yesterday Graney went from one boot! to the other in the Thirty-eighth givin, up his yearly horde of political gessip. When the news that Schmitz was elect- ed spread through the south side last night there was a general scramble to the corner grocery stores. The proverbial can worked overtime, and the ifs and the ands and the whys and the wherefores of the campaign were forgotten in the inauguration of a session of jollification. that is quite likely to last a week.
