Gray Defeats White by a Small Ma- jority. AKLAND, Nov. 5.—Complete re- turns from Alameda County show that the Republicans have lost all of the good patronage -offices ex- cept one—that of County Clerk. Perhaps it is hardly fair to say that the Republicans have lost these offices, for all of those elected, save one, are Republicans by party and principle, and it would be better to say that the Republican nomi- nees for th offices were defeated. But, however this may be, the fact is that the Republican nominees for five of the best offices in the county have been defeated, and, while the county of Alameda was giving the ordinary nominees on the State Republican ticket majorities of between 7000 and 8000, it was at the same time vot- ing into office the opposition candidates | for the very important offices of Sheriff, | Assessor, Recorder, Auditor and Superin- tendent of Schools, and the Republican nominee for Public Administrator only won by 87 plurality. The party politicians are seeking to le Its are not very con- g s are that the Union Labor ticket was made up almost exclu- sively of former Republicans, with only The fight then resolved itself purely into one of personality and work. upon the result, for while the voters of da County were giving Victor H. 9000 majority and Dr. Par- dee nearly 5000, they were voting A. K. Grim, an Independent Republican running on the Union Labor ticket, into the of- f Recorder by over 3000 plurality; and T. O. Crawford, a Democrat on the Union Labor ticket, into the office of Su- perintendent of Schools by over 3700 plur- ality, and at the same time giving Arthur r, & straight Republican, over 4000 r and electing a complete Re- publican legislative ticket, just for the sake of the Grand Old Party. The voter of ‘Alameda County has learned to be ndependent upon county offices, but s to something that repre- inciple, such as Congress- gislators, they never hesitate, down the line for the Repub- THE TWO SURPRISES wo surprises were the election of Bishop for Sheriff, over Oscar | John WIDOW ‘\ Rogers, and of G. W. Bacon for Auditor, over the baseball magnate, J. Cal Ewing. Bishcp went into the fight almost un- known except among the railroad me with- whom he had worked —for many years. He was unused to politics, and kriew nothing about the ways of the great American game of how to get elected; but he went into the fight to_win. He had helped to frame the big depot at the end of the broad gauge mole, had bullt bridges over most of the rivers of the State, had worked upon the Hotel Del for a corporation that had not appreci- ated his services, and he felt that he could face the voters of Alameda County. | the fact that he was given an almost | unanimous vote by his colleagues along the railroad; he was given an enormous vote in the strongly Republican Seventh Ward, while he ran well in all parts of Oakfpnd. He even cut into Rogers’ strength in his home city of Alameda, and was given a heavy vote in Murray Town- ship. Bacon's fight was made by the streetcar men of Oakland. He was nominated on the Union Labor ticket as the representa- tive of that union and his canvass was madd the voluntary duty of every con- ductor and motorman in Oakland. They did with Bacon just exactly as they did with Grim four years ago—elected him by their own efforts. The vote on Judges of the Superior Court 1s a peculiar one. The number of Lallots cast for each separate candidate is so small as to cause some of them to think that there must have been an error in the collection of the returns. This is not at all likely, and the small vote can be attributed to two other causes. In the first place, there was a fear upon the part of the friends of the various candi- dates that there might possibly be some B il ettt @ DAMAGES ARE ASKED Citizens File Two Additional Suits Against the Contra Costa Corporation, OAKLAND, Nov. 5—Two suits against the Contra Costa Water Company were begun to-day by the firm of Bruns & Strunz and by C. F. Fisher for $25,000 and 510,000, respectively. The plaintiffs allege that they have suffered that amount of damage owing to the negligent manner in which a fire hydrant at the corner of En- Alameda, was ined during the month of Decem- ber, 1900, when several dwellings and busi- ness houses were destroved by fire. It Is alleged that if water had been obtainable when the fire broke out in the place of business of Fisher the conflagration would have been prevented and the con- sequent damage avoided. The complain- ants aver that firemen were on the ground and that had water been- forth- coming the fire could easily have been checked. S. L. Potter began a similar suit two months ago for $3400. His home was de- stroyed by the fire. ———————— Fireman Honored for Bravery. Fireman John Rudden of truck 8 was presented with a handsome gold watch by the linemen of the telephone company yesterday. Rudden is a very modest man and the members of the Fire Department were forced to arrange & mock trial in order to get him to appear before the Commisioners so that the presentation could be made. He was presented with the watch while the fake trial was in progress. Rudden made a heroic attempt to save the life of U. Goodwin, a tele- phone lineman, who was killed on Bran- nan’ street a few weeks ago. The line- man of the telephone company, to show their appreciation of his act, decided to present him with a watch. —_———— Modern antiseptic treatment is credited with a reduction in mortality from large caliber wounds in the American army to 8 per cent In th~ Civil War it was 57 per ceat. these votes and re- | Party lines had no effect | Monte, had driven piles and worked hard | OF THE WATER COMPANY | @)\ ( | 7 7 % 5 — iy [ | competition from the Union Labor candi- dates, and these well-meaning friends | probably indulged in a little “plumping” ;ror their particular condidate. =The sec- ond reason is the bad arrangement of | the ballot required by thepresent ballot | law, and the fact that many thought but | one Judge was to be voted for instead of three. NEVER ENDING FEUD. The election of Henry P. Dalton for County Assesor marks another whirlwind fight by Dalton, who seems to prefer an independent fight rather than one on par- ty lines. This contest has provoked a great deal of ill-feeling and its effect will be felt for many a day in politics in Ala~ meda County. The friends of John Mitch- ell are accusing Dalton or bad faith with them and with Governor Pardee, and so this never-ending fight goes merrily on. The fight for Coroner'was one of the enlivening incidents of the campaign. Dr. M. M. Enos felt confident of his election. James McManus was working as hard as a broken leg would permit, and Dr. H. B. Mehrmann was taken sick two weeks be-= fore election and had to spend the erit- ical time of the campaign in bed. He was clected, however, by 386 votes over James McManus, and Enos ran third, though the votes of Enos and Mehrmann would have defeated Mehrmann, The Public Administratorship may vet ke the subject of a contest. The result of this fight was not known until late this afternoon, when it was found that George Gray of Haywards had won by &7 plu- rality over J. J. White, the old Demo- cratic wheelhorse. Arthur Feidler, the Republican nominee for Treasurer, was given the largest plu- rality on the Republican county ticket. He has 4285 more votes than his opponent. PARDEE'S ALAMEDA MAJORITY His Showing Received With Satis- faction by His Friends. OAKLAND, Nov. 5—With complete re- turns in from the 159 precinets of Ala- meda County, George C. Pardee has re- oy i ’A SIX OF ALAMEDA’'S CANDIDATES WHO EMERGED VICTORIOUS FROM THE BATTLE OF BALLOTS THAT WAS WAGED WITH UNUSUAL VIGOR IN THE COUNTY, THREE OF THEM BEING REPUBLICANS AND | THREE AFFILIATED WITH THE UNION LABOR PARTY. -- - ceived a majority in his home county of 4772 over Franklin K. Lane. This figure is in excess of the conservative estimates made before election as to the lead the Republican nominee would have over his Democratic opponent, and the majority is received with much satisfaction by Par- dee’s friends, who were aware of the po- litical conditions existing in the county. Right down the line on the State ticket the Republicans have swept the county. The majorities run as high as 9313, re- ceived by William H. Beatty for Ohief Justice of the Supreme Court, and. this figure is nearly touched by Congressman Victor H. Metcalf, whose lead over Calvin B. White, the Democratic nominee, is 9018, the largest majority ever polled in Alameda County for a representative in Congress. Outside of a total vote cast for Con- gressman of 20,156, White received only 5569, and he made a hard battle for votes, visiting all sections of the county.

Cone Defeats Henry T. Morris | and R. B. Tappan Becomes City Justice of the Peace. ALAMEDA, Nov. 5.—As a result of yes- terday’s election this city will begin the new year with a new judiciary. Fred S. Cone will succeed Henry T. Morris as Township Justice of the Peace and Rob- ert B. Tappan will become the first City Justice of his native town. Both of these contests proved to be surprises in the way of the majorities that the winning candi- dates received. Cone obtained nearly 600 more votes thai Morris. Tappan defeated Taylor by 500 votes. Cone’s victory is at- tributed mainly to the vigorous cam- paign that he waged and to his popularity in iocal -business, athletic and social af- fairs. .He had supporting him .a delega- tion of friends anl workers who over- looked nothing that tended to strengthen the chances of their favorite candidate. M. S. Taylor did not run as strong as his adherents expected he would. It was figured that a large share of the quiet, conservative vote would go to him, but the returns show that Tappan was ac- corded substantial support from this ele- ment. There is ‘some question as to whether the office of City Justice exists in Alameda, but this is not worrying Tap- pan. The position holds for four years and the annual salary is $2000. It is planned to have the office supersede that of City Recorder, if no legal obstacles de- velop. The vote on the Township Justice of the Peace was: Cone, 1551; Morris, 9%6; D. T. Hard, 150. In the City Justice con- test the resuit was: Tappan, 1224; Taylor, 5. Other local fights' that attracted atten- tion were those for the Assembly be- | tween J. Clem Bates and Frank W. Hally and the free-for-all Constable go, in which there were seven entries. George E. Clarke, the incumbent, won; Harry | Boyle came in second and Captain E. R. McDonnell of Company G third, Bates secured almost two votes to Hally’s one, the result being, Bates, 1578; Hally, 801 B i BERKELEY'S JUSTICE FIGHT A SEVERE ONE Edgar Finally Wins Out Over * Thomas by a Narrow Margin of Vote: BERKELEY, Nov. 5—The fifht for Justice ‘of the Peace, the closest contest in yesterday's election, was not decided until 2 o'clock this afternoon, when the final returns of the last precinct gave Ed- gar, the incumbent, the position by a plu- rality of seventy-one votes. There is taik of a recount by Thomas, the defeated candidate, but he will not confirm the re- port. The fight was either man’s until a late hour- last night, when Edgar's vote in the east end began to put him in a sligh. lead. The return from the Ashby pre- cinct this afternoon decided the contest in favor of Edgar. 'he total vote was Edgar 1323, Thomas 1852. ——-— HEAVY VOTE AGAINST AMENDMENT NO. 28 Alameda County Registers a Poll of Nearly Five to One in Oppo- sition. OAKLAND, Nov. 5.—Not a precinet in Alameda County voted in favor of the adoption of constitutional amendment No. 28. 1In fact, the obnoxious measure was defeated by a balot of nearly 5 to L There was almost a unanimous sentimeént against the proposition. Although it was almost the last item on the long ballot enough public interest was taken in the defeat of the amendment to cause a vote of more than 12,000 on it. | The other amendments did not come in for anything like the decisive choking that Alameda County gave No. 28. When the totals were checked in the last of the 159 precincts this morning the vote stood: For the amendment 2209, against 9964 majority against the proposed amend- ment 7735.

All they got was- $1 90 and some fruit. They: first entered the store of Robert F. Guichard, but got nothing. Then they erawled through a window into S. | W.

Swims Half a Mile in the Dark in a Race Against the Rising Tide. BERKELEY, Nov. 5.—To¢ have risked his life for the safety of his companions by a. half-mile swim ip the icy waters of the bay while the darkness of early morn- ing ‘was still in the sky is the claim to heroism of John Martinez, a 17-year-old West Berkeley lad. To him Eddie Rosen- trater and Willie Donovan, his two com- panions, caught in a duck blind and fac- ing certain drowning by the rising tide, owe their lives. The three lads rowed out to the blind near Flemings Point at 4 o'clock this morning and stationed themselves in readiness to commence the morning's shooting, when the rush of the tide car- ried their boat away fito the darkness. Realizing that in an hour’s time they would be caught and drowned like rats in a trap, Martinesz, the oldest and strong- est of the three, prepared to swim to shore. He slipped into the water and struck out in the dim morning light for the faint outlines of the shore, a half-mile away. After battling for almost an hour in the freezing waters of the bay the exhausted boy dragged himself up on the shore. After recuperating his strength Martines secured the assistance of Christopher Boreher, who rowed out to the blind in a boat and rescued the two lads imprisoned therein. ENGLISH IMPROVES BUT DOCTORS MAY OPERATE Secretary of the Harbor Commission~ ers Is Better but Health Is Still Seriously Affected. OAKLAND, Nov. 5.—William D. Eng- lish, secretary of the State Board of Har- bor. Commissioners, who was attacked by appendicitis Monday, is resting easier at the East Bay Sanatorium than he was when he was first taken there, but the doctors in attendance have not given up the idea that an operation should be per- formed. Dr. E. H. Woolsey, who is wateh- ing English’s case closely, said to-night: ‘“He is better, but his condition is still serious and an operation may be necessary to help-him back to health. The rest and treatment have allowed him to regain his strength, and he is now so improved that if.an operation is performed he will have the strength to pull him through.” The news of English’s iliness has been received with regret by his friends, who bave sent many sympatbizing notes. —_———— STUDENTS CAN STUDY IN EVENING CLASSES Two New Branches Are Added to the Public School De- partment. . OAKLAND, Nov: 5.—The night schools of the city have been augmented by the addition’ of two new classes, which were opencd Monday night, one at the High School building and the other at the Clawson School. The class at the High School is for those who want to study mechanical drawing and the other is for regular evening class work, with the ex~ ception of drawing and bookkeeping. The class in mechanical drawing is con- ducted by Goddard Gale of the Poly- technic High School. Archibald Bullock directs the class at the Clawson School. ADVERTISEMENTS.
