IN HEART OF CITY. “Everything quiet,” was the general report from the voting booths in the pre- cincts In the very heart of the city ad- jacent to the newspaper offices. The voters went to the booths quietly, cast their ballots and as quietly went away Police officers on duty were united in the opinfon that it was the most peaceful election they could remember. No cases | of intoxication were observed anywhere |in the district mentioned. The saloon- keepers gave heed to the warnings of the Police Commission and not even back doors were in use. The voting lagged gener after the first rush at 7 o'clock. Ever: there was a noticeable enthusiasts with election cards and sly mpaigning such as is usually observed. The groups of arguers were small and there was little boisterous conversation. | On the whole, the voting in the center of | the city was conducted in a model man- ner.

They were supremely con- it Pardee and the entire State ient ket would go through with a bandsome jority. tenographers flitted back and forth with schedules and telegrams, while a Vestern Union telegraph operator was kept busy sending and receiving mes- sages. Jake Steppacher, the assistant secretary, had not a moment to himself. He was continually busy and withal con- fident that the Bepublican ticket would be riumphant. A. Ruef dropped in during the afternoon to report that the Nerth Beach Republj- cang weie lined up for.Pardee and Kahn. Thomas D. Riordan reported that the vol- efc of the Western Addition bad voted and Soclalists were striving for political supremacy. From 6 a. m., the hour the polls opened, until 5 p. m., the closing | time, the only evidence that an election was in progress was offered by an occa- sional gathering ia front of the booths and a periodical appearance of those who | teok interest enough in the election to ather about the polling places to discuss the merits of the various candidates. | These gatherings were not many and in | no instance in the Western Addition were they large enough to be dignified by the I'name of crowd. In the district bounded by Van Ness and Pacific avenues and the Park the heaviest vote was cast before 2 o'clock. the election officers having little to 4o after that hour. At 2 o'clock fully %0 ver cent of the voters of the Western Aa- dition had voted, and from that ‘hour until 5 o’clock the voting was of a desul- tory character. In no one precinet in this big district was there the least semblance of a row. THE MISSION DISTRICT. An unusually heavy vote was cast throughout the Mission district. As in other parts of the city the greater portion of the voters went to the polls early in the morning. At 7 o'clock there were scores of workingmen at all the booths casting their ballots before going to work. In three-fourths of the Mission over one- half of the total vote was cast before noon. In the afternoon tne election offi- cers had scarcely anything to do. There was not a singie disturbance | that amounted to much.

In no place was there a crowd around the | booth during the day and there was a scarcity of politicians. Xvcry one seemed to recognize that the time for campaign- ing was past and that tnere was noth- ing left to do but await the results. A few candidates in buggies bearing their banners drove through the district to see that all was progressing in a proper manner. ALMSHOUSE VOTERS. X Several hours after the voting com- menced in the Thirteenth precinct of the Thirty-ninth District, which is commonly known as the Almshouse district, Sammy Braunhart, candidate for Railroad Com- missioner, entered his usual “kick” to the Election Commissioners. He claimed that “Jack” Kennedy, .a friend of Eddie Graney, had been installed as clerk of the election board in the district in the’ place of 8. C. Sherwood, who failed to report for duty. Braunhart accused Ken- nedy of assisting the inmates of the Alms: house in preparing their ballots in the interest of Adam Andrew, his opponent. ‘After listening to his complaint, the Election Commissioners instructed Regis- trar Walsh to repair to the precinct and ascertein the truth of Braunhart's state- ment. Accompanied by a police officer, Walsh went to the polling place and cau- tioned Kennedy against violating the elec- tion laws. Kennedy explained that many of the inmates of the Almshouse were unable to read or write, and that at their request he assisted them- in preparing their ballots.” As there was nothing to show that Kennedy had exceeded his du- ties, the Registrar allowed him to remain. As soon as Braunhart “learned 'that ‘Walsh had not removed Kennedy he tele- phoned to Chief of Police Wittman, and informed him of the complaint he had made to the Board of Election Commis- sioners. Wittman at once sent Patrolman Thompson to the place with instruations to see that the election laws were upheld. ON THE WATER FRONT. .An almost Sabbath stiliness pervaded the water front and in the immediate vi- cinity of the voting booths scattered from Second .and. Brannan.. streets..to- North Beach the spirit of holiday calm was most intense. Water front saloons were more than theoretically closed, everybody was sober, and election day, as far as the city’s shipping district was concerned, passed without incident. The several polling booths, except®for the visit of the occasional voter, were left severely alone by the gereral public. The election officers found their task a lone- some one, and the big policeman stationed at every booth passed an idle day. The people came, voted and went away. Out- side some of the booths, keeping a watch- ful eye on those that entered, were repre- sentatives of the working members of the different parties. Captain W. G. Leale, assisted by Cap- tain Oscar Anderson, Jack Riordan and Frank O'Neil, kept a vigilant watch on the progress of the election in the Forty- fourth District. They saw to it that every Pardee man within those limits did his duty and Captain Leale thought last night that" that part of the city had given'a good account of itself. Many of the large factories closed dur- ing the afternoon and wherever men were employed on work that could not be laid aside, such as the loading and discharging of vessels, ample opportunity for voting was given to all that had the right and inelination to exercise the franchise. Not a single case of disorderly conduet was reported to the harbor police, who declare that the election of 1902 was the | « quietest, prosiest affair at which they ever undertook to maintain the peace. FORTY-FIFTH DISTRICT. The vote.in the Forty-fifth Assembly District ‘was unusually large. Before 3 o'clock in the afternoon a large percent- age .of the voters had cast their ballots and but few votes were dropped into the box afterward. The election was one of peace and quiet. Not a single disturbance marred the day. The police who were detailed at the dif- ferent booths had no occasion to make an arrest and the election officers pronounce the day the calmest ever experienced in the district. ASSEMBLYMEN.

AKLAND, Nov. §, 1 2. m—Ala. meda County has done far bet- ter for Dr. George C. Pardee than was generally expected. At this hour returns from all over the county, including at least par- tial returns from every one of the 159 precincts and complete returns from many, show that Dr. Pardee will be given from 4500 to 5000 majority. Frank C. Jor- dan for Clerk of the Supreme Court is 1unning three to one amd will probably get from 8000 to 10,000 majority in his home county. While the Repubiican county ticket lost mainly, the Republican legislative ticket is elected to a man, giv- ing two Republican Senators and seven Republican Assemblymen. The counting of the vote was very slow, | owing to the long county ticket and an equally long State ticket. It was one o'clock in the morning before any satis- factory figures were returned, but at that time some figures had been received from every precinet in the county, and it was enough to give an accurate idea of what the rest would be. The total vote will be between 23,000 and 24,000, and at 1 o’clock 7878 votes had been counted. This shows that Alameda County had stood by her second nominee for Governor In the history of the State and had given him nearly the full strength of the best Republican vote of the county. In the district offices Ala- meda County did more than nobly it sustained Orrin Henderson of Stockton for Railroad Commissioner and will give him more than 3000 majority, and it did nearly as well by L. H. Brown for the State Board of Equaliation. Congressman Metcalf will carry his hothe county by more than 3 to 1 and it may run 4 to 1. Al of the State ticket will be given majorities that will run in the neighborhood of 6000 or more, while the Justices of the Supreme Court, both Chief and Associate, were given elormous majorities that will run 8000 or more. There were two State Senators fo be elected, and both will be Republicans. Joseph R. Knowland of Alameda has practically no opposition and he will have a wote of nearly 6 to 1. Frank W. Leav- itt has defeated C. L. Pierce by 400 on the face of the returns at 1 o’clock and this cannot be changed. The seven Republican Assemblymen ail win handlly and by good majorities. SENATOR'S SON ACCUSED. Charles Clark of Montana Arrested on Charge of Bribery. BUTTE, Mont.,, Nov. 4—Charles W. Clark, C. E. Alsop and George H. Casey were arrested this evening on a charge of bribery. It is alleged that they paid $5 and $10 for votes during the day for the Democratic ticket. Clark is the son of United States Senator W. A. Clark. Casey is chalrman of the county com- mittee and Alsop is a Clark man on the ticket for the State Legislature. The arrests were caused by County At- torney Breen, who was a candidate on the tusion ticket for re-election. Breen claims that he had just been offered a lot of votes at $2 50 a head and caused the ar- rest of the man who made the offer. He then made an investigation and found, s0 he charges, that €lark, Casey, Alsop and other Clark men were buying votes at $ and $10 In a cheap lodging-house district where men openly offered their votes for sale. Breen claims to have a number of witnessed to the alléged brib- ery. The accused men were arraigned in the Police Court and released on bends. Warrants are out for several other men alleged to have been implicated in & wholesale purchase of votes. NEGROES SELL VOTES. Brisk Fist Fights Enliven the Elec~ tion in Kansas City. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Nov. 4{—Several fist fights occurred at voting places in the North End to-day. Two men were ar- rested for intimidating voters and quite a number of negroes openly sold their votes. John Pryor, a Democrat, knocked Charles Riesl, Assistant Prosecuting Attorney, a Republican challenger, down because he interfered with a voter. Both were ar- rested but released on bail. The votes of several negroes were purchased at $2 and $3 aplece. Some of these votes were bought at the entrance to the booths. At one booth a Democrat offered a negro & and was about to vote him when a Re- publican raised the price to $3. The Re- publican was sent sprawling with a fisc blow. County Prosecutor Hadley complained to Chief Hays that Patrolman Bert Bran- non was intimidating voters and the offi- cer was taken off duty. N. P. Rogers, a_ young man, was also arrested for alleged intimidation and booked for investigation. SRR AP R 53 PRESIDENT IS SATISFIED. Roosevelt Sends Message of Con- gratulation to Governor Odell. NEW YORK, Nov. 4—Having been kept fully informed during the day and night as to the course of the election President Roosevelt retired at 11 o’clock fully satis- fled with the result. He was particularly gratified with the returns from New York State, which assured the re-election of Governor Odell. The President late to- night sent a telegram of congratulation to the Governor, but the text of the mes- sage was not given out. The President and Secretary Cortelyou received the re- turns from the election at Sagamcre Hill from the executive offices in the Oyster Bay Bank. The President’s own election precinct, the Fifth of the Third Assembly District, went Democratic. Ordinarily it is Dem- ocratic. The President and party will leave Oyster Bay at 7 o'clock for Phi- adelphia.
