Lefty Bannon Tells His Experiences; on Election Day. : By Lefty Bannon. On the level, it was the cheesjest elec- tion that has passed over the gang’'s heads without being washed down in a century.

The gang held a confabout in the Thirtieth, outside of Jimmy Lawler's, and decided that all the candidates framed up a job on them with Wittman that was stronger than the locks and they all took to the Oakland boat to take dim. chances on. getting aboard the annual cargo of election booze across the bay. Say, it was fierce! I ditched the covers . m,.and made a bee -line for Lucy’s joint-on Bryant street to for the day.and I bumped into frost. “Nothing dein’,” says Jimmy. “Couldn’t-dish out one’ to myself without a doctor’s cetificate.”” My boy, 'my boy, but that was sad news. I had a head on me like a Presidio soldier after a hard night on the Coast; my lamps looked like a couple of holk in a basement dead- light and I felt like a fellow with a mit full of tickets on the wrong horse.. Say, I leoked like an overdue pawn ticket and the howl I beiched up about the prohi- Liton law was a cross between Jim Neal's holleron Sammy Braunhart and Jimmy the 3 mous speech for free silver, free and free Ireland. I was there with Jimmy get mine c ews with all the bovine juice in Butchertown, but the booze clerk wouldn’t loosen up. Say, 1 backed the mcther tongue off the boards, but Jimmy couldn’t it my way.

My boy, my boy, but didn't it hit bed- rock! Say, in two minutes I felt like a multi-millionaire _at one of Mrs. Brad- 's swell doings and before I got down to the election booth I thought the Standard Oil Company was the smallest thing I owned, All over the Twenty-eighth District there was nothing to it but Lane, Livernash and Walter Gallagher for Superior Judge. Walter came through the district, passing out the glad mitt like a successful candi- date for President on his after-election tour, and the gang stood for him strong. Jimmy Britt Sr., Johnnie Greeley, Johnnie the Poll and Jack Ferris from the Asses- sor's office went to the bat for Judge Frank Dunne and when the polls shut Hen Gallagher, Hot-Air Kelly, Al Healey and the rest of that warm bunch took care of Al Fritz’s fight and they said it was like taking candy from a baby. Out in the Thir- tieth all the old liners got aboard Jimmy band wagon and they claimed everything in sight for their candidate for the Assembly.

The one that came off yesterday in front of the Thirteenth secured . Streets Watches The Call SURGING mass of humanity in the vicinity of Market, Third and Kearny streets read the results of the election which were posted on’ The Call bulletin screen last night. As early as 6 o’clock the crowds | began to gather in their eagerness to learn the news regarding the success or defeat of the various candidates. Many individuals came early in order to appropriate points of vantage from which to read the partial returns as they ap- peared on the screen. It is estimated that fully 20,000 people were constantly stand- ing on the streets and sidewalks and by far the larger part of these were posted immediately in front of The Call screen, which was suspended at the entrance of | the Claus Spreckels building. More than 75,000 people were continually on the march along the space occupied by the streetear . tracks, so that at least 100,000 people demonstrated their interest in the | day's election. A singular incident in connection with the affair was the fact that at 6 o'clock the cable of the Market street road broke | down and as the cars were uuable to proceed an open space was left unob- structed for several hours, so that a kind of boulevard for the passage of human | beings only was reserved by the police- men detailed to keep the immense crowd in check. The policemen kept the crowd on the move in the territory named and thus all confusion was avoided. STREETS DENSELY PACKED. So densely, packed was the sidewalk on Market street from Grant avenue to Kearny street that only a single line of pedestrians was able to move along In etther, direction and even this line was compelled to desist as the multitude in- creased. The stoppage of the cars, while it caused: great convenience to the peo- ple and made the task of the guardians of the law somewhat easier, had the effect of making the crowd smaller ia | number than it would have been had | the cable not broken down. tention to come downtown owing to| the cars not running. These would have traveled on the Haight, McAllister and Hayes street lines had these been in operation. | It was a good-natured crowd, too, In | every sense of the word. The people were quiet and orderly, and beyond cheer- ing when the returns showed that their favorites were in the lead, made little or no noise. There was some Chamn_g among them and some were “jollied” when they made remarks with which the surrounding multitude was not in sym- pathy. The candidates, too, were “joshed” as their names appeared upon the screens and in this way did the patient wa¢chers | pass the time away during the waits be- | tween bulletins. LADIES READ RETURNS. The men were not alone in their eager- ness to learn the results of the election, for the black mass of human beings was dotted in many spots with members of the fair sex, who also stood patiently for hours, side by side with their sweethearts, srothers or husbands as the case might be. The ladies certainly relieved the somber colors of their protectors, and, viewed from an elevation, the sight was a pleasing one. The ladies, too, evinced their preference for certain candidates and every once in a while a dainty fem- inine yell was heard, which contrasted strangely with the stentorian cheers of the sterner sex. Never in the history of public assem- blages have immense crowds been han- dled by the police with more consummate £kill than they were last night! Chief of Police Wittman had reason to believe that the crowd would be greater than ever before at the particular point named and he was not wrong in his surmise. Chief Wittman decided that he would SUPERINTENDENT PUBLIC IN- STRUCTION. Themas J. Kirk (RJ)... E. W. Lindsay (D.) CLERK SUPREME COURT, Frank C. Jordan (R.).. Lawrence H. Wilson (D.)

IMMENSE CROWD READS ‘ ELECTION BULLETINS Mass of Humanity at Third and Market It is calcu-l‘ lated that 25,000 people changed their in- | class.

Screen. have to detail some of his best men In ore der to reduce to a minimum the danger of an accident in handling the populace. To that end he directed Captain Spillane to superintend the work. With Spillane were Lieutenant Gleason, Sergeants Coo- gan and Cook and Corporals Williams and Boyd, together with fifty patrolmen. All these men were known to the Chief for their special aptitude in handling large crowds, the result of long experi- ence in that particular line of duty. The stopping of the Market-street cars, of course, lessened in a small degree the arduous task of the peace officers, but the work was far from being light. That Wittman’s confidence in his men was not misplaced was shown by the results. As soon as Captain Spillane discovered that the cars had stopped running he de- cided that he ‘would reserve the track space to keep the crowd moving. ' The standing crowd was permitted to gecupy every inch of space on the sidewalks on both sides of Market street, clear to the outer tracks of the street car lines. No rcpes were used, but the officers were kept busy in seeing that the line was not overstepped by those who desired to stop and read. The people going down Mar- ket street were turned into Kearny or Third and those coming out had cle sailing after reaching Grant avenue. Of course those composing the outer fringe of the crowd at Grant avenue were put to some in seeing the bulletins from a distance of two blocks. The difficulty, however, was overconle by many, who produced opera-glasses from their inside coat pockets and were thus able to decipher the votes and names of the candidates. Other more enthusiastic individuals produced long fleld glasses, and they, too, w and read to their heart’s content. BICYCLES TABOOED:. The space reserved for the wajking crowd was kept sacred to that purpose by the policemen. In efder to prevent any possible accidents Captain Spillane - di- rected his men to stop all bicycles at aither end of the passageway and order their owners to. ride along the side streets. This was not pleasing to the scorehers, who are in the habit of riding at a rapid rate along the main thorough- fare of the city, to the danger of ped trians, but the orders had to be obeyed, and as a consequence no one was hurt by being run down by a bicycle. Automoblles, too, were ordered to turn back and take to the side streets. There were several of the machines coataining parties of ladies and gentlemen wheo adopted this up-to-date way of viewing the bulletins pested on the screens. Car- riages were in evidence in large numbers, they, too, holding individuals who wanted to know all about the results. A pleasing fact in connection with the assemblage was that not a single acei- dent occurred and the policemen did not find it necessary at any stage of the proceedings to ring up the patrol wagon to remove any* offending individual, Every man gladly and quickly moved on when told to do so by the officers, who in all cases acted with extreme courtesy. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT VOTES, Nation’s Chief Casts Ballot in Hall Over Chinese Laundry. OYSTER BAY, N. Y., Nov. 4.—President Roosevelt cast his vote a few minutes be- fore 11 o’clock. As he turned from the booth the President said: “I have done all I can do now. I have performed my duty and exercised my privilege as an American citizen and I shall now aw the full returns.” He then started on a long drive with Mrs. Roosevelt. It was 10:40 o’clock when the President and Mrs. Roosevelt drove up to the voting place in a trap. A big crowd had been awaiting his arrival for an hour. He was 4 joined by Assistant Secretary Loeb and James K. Gracie, an unele of the Presi- dent. Mr. Roosevelt cordially greeted several of his personal friends and ac- quaintances in the crowd and then pro- ceeded to the voting place, which was in a hall over a fish market and a Chinese laundry. After shaking hands with the judges and clerks of election the Presi~ dent cast his ballot, which. was No. 170, He then formally greeted many of his friends who had assembled, and as he drove away the crowd cheered him heart- ily. Election returns will be received to- night by special wire at the executive of- fices in the Oyster Bay Bank building. They will be compiled and telephoned to the President at Sagamore Hill. 5 Sy e T Drops Dead After Voting. CHICAGO, Nov. 4—William P.
