Last Sunday members of the Smoot ring scattered thousands of circulars among the Mormons in an effort to win suppert for the Smoot ticket. These cir- | culars involved the Mormon Relief So- ciety, a charitable organization which had | never before figured in politics. Mor- | mons resented the action which compro- mised the relief society, and made so strong a protest that President Joseph F.

There have been previous up- heavals, but this is the first time in years that every office for which there was any semblance of a contest has been lost to | the regular Republicans. It also is the! first time in a quarter of a century that the regular Republicans have been de-: feated for control of the State treasury. Memorable contests have been waged against the Republicans for the office, but without guccess, and it is worthy of note that yesterday's election was the first that has been held for the place since the death of former United States Senator Quay. The plurality of William H. Berry, who was nominated by the Democrats, Inde- pendent party, Lincoln party and Prohi- Treasurer, will be nearly 100,000 and may go above those figures. J. Lee Plummer, Republican candidate, ran behind his ticket in nearly | every county in the State. The remain- der of the Republican ticket was elected by the usual Republican pluralities. President Roosevelt's plurality last year was more than half a million. The victory of the City party, the re- form organization, over the Regular Re- publicans in Philadelphia, was complete and beyond the expectations of the re- form leaders. The City party's plurality is 43,333. The reform weve carried Berry along with it. Complete returns from every ward in the city give the City party 148,689 and the Republican candidates 105,346, a plur- ality for the City party of 43,333. Berry, fusion candidate for State Treasurer, carried the city over Plummer, Republi- can, by 36,037 plurality. WEAVER IS CONGRATULATED. There wag 4 great demonstration at the Mayor's office to-day by the victori- ous City party leaders and others. Scores of leaders and hundreds of workers of the reform organization' who had as- sembled at City party headquarters to offer congratulations to the successful candidatés formed ,in line and, headed by two brass bands, marched through the’ streets to the City Hall. In the line were: some of Philadelphia’s best known citizens. The men marched into Mayor Weaver's large reception room and cheered him, while the bands played pa- triotic airs. Mayor Weaver was lifted on a table and made a stirring speech in which he'paid a warm tribute to the police for their loyalty to duty. He gave the people credit for the victory and said it was the cleanest election held in Philadelphia for many years, Rudolph Blankenburg, one of the stuic- cessful candidates for commissioner, aroused much enthusiaem by declaring that the fight against the Republican or- ganization must be carried on to Febru- ary, when an ¢lection for members of the City Council will be held. The City party has planned to hold a mass meeting and street parade on Fri- day night in honor of its vietory. The managers of the reform movement intend to at once begin the campaign for the February election. A staff of attor- neys employed by the reform leaders. is at work preparing to bring about 200 prosecutions for offenses against the bal- jot laws. Judge Biddle, in Common Pleas Court, to-day ordered the arrest of the entire election boards of eleven divisions the president of the notaries office. Chairman Franklin Spencer Edmunds of the City party committee said to-day that the cost of running’ the reform campaign was approximately $110,000. PENROSE AND DURHAM MUM. The Republican organization leaders had little to say to-day regarding their defeat. The result of the election, they =aid, told the story. United States Sena- tor Penrose and Israel W. Durham, the leadér of the local Republican organiza- tion, had ‘a long conference, at which they discussed the situation. Durham, ac- companied by a few friends, will go south to-morrow for a rest, Mayor William H. Berry of Chester, the successful fusion candidate for State Treasurer, was in this city to-day receiv- ing the congratulations of his friends. Berry, who will be the first Democrat ex- cepting Governor Pattison to occupy a State office in Pennsylvania in many years, sald that his policy in conducting: the State treasury would be publicity. “I propose to thoroughly Investigate'the entire conditipn -of things in the State treasury,” he said. *“I intend to let the people know just how I find things.” Never in the history'. of Philadelphia’ elections have so many arrests been made: as were made yesterday. Scores of pris- oners were arraigned to-day before a' magistrate, and nearly 50 who were ar- rested are under bail awaiting hearings to-morrow. The majority of them are ac- cused of having voted or attempted to vote 1llegally. AL CONTEST IN KENTUCKY. Fusion Manaxers Charge Gross Frauds te the Democrats. LOUISVILLE, Ky.. Nov. 8.—The man- agers of the fusion party met this aft- ernoon and announced that they had de- cided to contest in the courts the elec- lature. It is alleged that in four- teen precincts no election was held at all, owing to the disappearance of the election paraphernalia; that in fourteen additional precincts the ballot-boxes were “onfiscated by Democratic work- ers before the returns were certified to, thus allowing the result to be falsi- fied, and, finally, that in a large num- ber of other precincts gangs of armed thugs and repeaters, abetted in some instances by the police, cast many fraudulent ballots, besides preventing lawful voters from voting. G On the face of the returns which are not contested Paul Barth, Democratic | nominee for Mayor, has been elected by about 2500. i ! | Ly the People’s and Citizens’ organiza- vons carried in ten municipalities.

Plurality for Democratic, Candidate jn Ohio May| Exceed Fifty Thousand LANDSLIDE IN STATE Republicans Are in the Mi-| nority in Both Houses| of the New Legislature L e COLUMBUS, 0., Nov. 8.—That John M. | Pattison has been eclected Governor for| the next two years by a plurality running well above 40,00 is settled to-night, as also is the Democratic working majority in both houses of the Legislature, but| there is still some uncertainty as to the remainder of the State ticket. The earlier returns were apparently from sec-| tions favorable to Governor Herrick, for| j he held a lead over the rest of his ticket| until to-day, when fuller returns from the | { country districts cut into his vote severe-| ly, and by the middle of the afternoon he: seemed to be more than 40,000 votes be- | hind his ticket. | Chairman Garber to-night figures plu-| ralities for Pattison that aggregated| close to 55,000, in which event the entire| Democratic ticket is safe, The Repub-| licans have given out no later estimates| since that of Chairman Dick conceding, the election of Pattison by 25,000 plurality, | but later reports received at headquar< ters indicate that a larger figure is cor- rect. Republican estimates to-night give the Democrats two to five majority in the| next Senate and from ten to fifteen in! the House, and these are probably the| minimum estimates. The Democrats | claim a majority of five in the Senate and twenty-seven in the House. The widespread scratchings of tickets| caused such delay in the counting. that| thirty hours after the close of the polls there was still uncertainty, notwithstand- ing the overwhelming nature of the Dem- ocratic victory. | The State officers and legislators| chosen yésterday will serve three years| instead of two as heretofore, the consti- tutional amendment for biennial elections providing that the terms of officials elect- ed at this time shall expire on/January 1, 1909, at which time the State officers and legislators chosen in November, 1908, will assume .office. The Legislature chosen in 1908 will choose a United States Senator in succession to Senator Foraker. For some time there was. confusion on this polnt and it was widely 'but incor- rectly asserted that the Legislature just chosen would name Foraker's successor. The reports to Chairman Garber. to- night from all sections; of.the State indi- cated a plurality for Pattison of' more than 55,000, and he said he believed that if the galnis ‘continue it might reach 60,000, Republican ‘advices indicated .that, leav- ing out the large c&%fl) ¥ dnhlg rick Joss he fl eighty counties woulfi“avi e 600 vates to the county, or a difference.of nearly 50,000 be- tween the vote cast for Herrick and that for the remainder of the ticket. —The other Republicans, being thus about 50,000 ahead of their chief, would win if Patti- ‘son was less than 50,000 ahead of Herrick, but as the figures indicated that Pattison had considerably more than the necessary 50,000 while the difference between Her- rick and the otherRepublican candidates seemed to be narrgwing slightly, it was safe to assume that the entire Demo- cratic ticket had been elected. CINCINNATI, Nov. 8—Following the defeat of the Republican party in this city and State, United States Senator J. B. Foraker to-day authorized the follow- ing statement: The defeats we have sustained in the city and State have(no relation to national politics, but are due solely to local causes. Whether right or not the belief obtains that the great mass of voters have mot had any proper rep- resentation in nominating conventions and that a man with an ambition to engage in the public service had no oppgrtunity unless he was fortunate enough to be put on a pre- arranged slate. It was natural to expect that sooner or later this would be resented. In Jarge part that is what the defeat of yes- torday meant. It will be easy to cure this trouble.

R 2 A AMENDMENT SNOWED UNDER. Maryland Anti-Negro Measure Lost by a Great Majority. BALTIMORE, Nov. 8.—Late returns dissipate much. of the doubt as to the result of yesterday's election in this city and State. With a few precinets of one of the usually Democratic coun- ties yet to be heard from, the defeat of the proposed suffrage restriction amendment to the State constitution by 28,000 to 29,000 is indicated. Atkin- son (D.) is conceded the State Control- lership and his majority probably will run over 6500. ‘That the lower house of the State Legislature will be Demo- cratic is conceded by the Republicans. It probably will be made up of fifty- three Democrats, three Independent Democrats and forty-five Republicans. The State Senate stands eighteen Democrats and eight Republicans. The Democrats therefore will elect the State Treasurer and the Board of Public ‘Works will be Democratic. The elction of Padget (R.) as Sheri€ of this city, about which there had been doubt, is now conceded. It is always sold in bottles Tike this j Will be held accountable as a political or- ! pride” | Sherift, Tax Collector, Recorder, and witlh CONFRONT THE VICTORS Throngs of the Faithful Speedily Make Ready ‘to Flock to the Pie Counter With Much Hungry Clamoring: It 18 common gossip in the political camps that the Union Labor County Com- | mittee, the governing body of the party, | will demand that the Mayor and all other officers-elect shall recognize the commit- lee in the award of official patronage. It asserted that the Union Labor party ganization for the administration of; municipal affairs during the next two, years. Further assertion is made that the party will enter the State field of polities in the gubernatorial campaign of 1906, and therefore should be able to ‘‘point with to its record in San Francisco. There is a vast deal of patronage con- nected with the offices of County Clerk, the several commissions of the city gov- ernment. It is contended that men named for places by the respective heads of de- partments must present the indorsement of the County Committee. The new Republican County Committee which was created by the Republican: convention ‘at Alhambra Theater will meet for organization Tuesday evening, November 21. A meeting was held early in the campaign, a few days after the new committee was appointed, and a con- test for the chairmanship between Daniel A. Ryan and William H. Davis resulted in a tie vote. Only one ballot was taken and the committee postponed the organ- ization until after the municipal election. The Fortieth Assembly District, from| which Danpiel A. Ryan hails, returned the largest district majority for Partridge in the election last Tuesday, and therefore it is claimed that he has demonstrated his right to be chairman of the commit- tee. Under the existing primary election law control of a county committee does not confer special advantage, but there is a persistent rumor in political circles that measures will be taken in the Supreme Court to test the constitutionality of the act. Assertion is made that the provision of law which requires a voter to indicate in writing what political party he intends to support is not in line with the consti- tution which guaranmtees the secrecy of the ballot. Republicans and Democrats of course regret that they were not successful in Tuesday's election, but since the victory went to Schmitz they are quite well sat- isfied that all the rest of the Union Labor ticket was elected. The Mayor for years has contended that he was hampered and impeded in his efforts to accomplish good work for the city by an unfriendly Board ‘of Supervisors, but in the ensuing admin- 4stration he will have eighteen Supervis- ors who were nominated by the Union Labor convention. 1t is surmised that the Auditor and the Treasurer will be good to the Mayor. It is the hope of good ‘citizens‘that the bankers and capitalists will be so hltp%d by the rectitude of the Mayor and allfes that they will pay a high premium for the bonds. ~Julius Kahn, the genial Congressman of the Fourth District, is in town. On ac- count of bronchitis he was compelled to cancel his speaking engagements in Ohio. He journeyed as far north as Seattle, but did not go to the Buckeye State. PR SLI T iy MANY JOBS TO DISPENSE. Long List of Positions for Ruef and < Schmitz to Fill. The sweeping victory of the Union La- bor party at the polls on Tuesday will place an enormous patronage in the hands of Schmitz and Ruef, or the Union Labor County Committee, on the prin- ciple that ‘‘To the victors belong the spoils,” which will no doubt be strictly adhered to. A all army of employes, who are not under civil service, in the offices of the County Clerk, Recorder, Sheriff, Treasurer, City Attorney, Dis- trict ‘Attorney, Coroner and Board of Su- pervisors will in all likelihood lose their positions to make room for those who supported the labor ticket or worked in its interest. ¢ A successor to Superintendent of Schools Langdon will be appointed when he assumes the post of District Attorney on January 8 next. There seems to be some doubt among legal minds as to whether the Mayor or the Board of Supervisors fills such a vacancy. The charter places the power of making appointments to vacancles in office in the hands of the Mayor ‘“unless otherwise provided by law.” Now section 4115 of the Political Code is as follows: “Any vacancy insthe .office of County Judge is filled by an appointment of the it + PRESIDENT ADVOCATES SEPARATE STATEHOOD ‘Would Admit Oklahoma and Indian Territory as Two Provinces. WASHINGTON, Nov. §—President Roose- velt to-day informed a delegation of resi- dents of Oklahoma that he would recom- mend in his forthcoming message to Con gress single statehood for Oklahoma and Indian Territory. The delegation told the President they hoped Congress would pass a statehood measure in accordance with his recommendation. : He discussed briefly the question of in- corporating in the statehood measure a stipulation for prohibition of the liquor traffic, urging that the question be left to the determination of the people, as with their personal knowledge of the Indians in the Territory they would settle the| questjon properly. —_—e—————— Rhode Island’s Vote Complete.

Some attorneys hold that the charter supersedes the State law because of a| decision by the Supreme Court some years ago in the case of Young versus Babcock that the. consolidation act su- perseded the county government act at| that time. If that decision applies to the/ municipal ' charter, the Mayor would, hame the Superintendent of Schools. H Albert M. Armstrong, now principal of | the Hancock Grammar School, aspires to succéeed Langdon as Superintendent of| Schools. Armstrong was an ardent sup-| porter of Schmitz in former campaigns.! It is understood that the question as to| the power to appoint will be submitted| to the City Attorney. Evcn if the power) is vested in the Boaid of Supervisors the; incoming Schmitz-Ruef board would fill] the vacancy and Armstrong would be ap- | pointed. There would be no change in the personnel of the office. ! Besides the patronage mentioned there| are no less than ten vacancies to be filled| on the various city boards and commis- sions by Mayor Schmitz. The terms of several incumbent commissioners will ex-| pire on January 8 next, but as they were, originally appointed by Schmitz it is| highly proBable that they will be reap-| pointed umless some shifts are made tof more. lucrative pesitions under elected | officials. Those whose term will expire and who -are reasonably sure of reap-| pointment are: | Thomas F. Boyle, member of the Board | of Education. Thomas' F. Eagan, Public "'Works.

The election by the Union Labor party of the entire Board of Super- visors will place some cholce pesitions at’ the disposal of Schmitz, who will undoubtedly take . advantage of it Prominent among these is that of clerk of the board, now filled by €harles W.

There is also an expert, two stenogra- phers, six assistant clerks and a sergeant at arms cmployed by the board, all ot whom' have become most efficlent in the discharge of their ' duties through long practice.

The offices of the Auditor and Tax Collector are under clvil service; but the former may appoint a chief deputy and an attorney as his legal adviser. The Tax Collector has one chief deputy, George F.

The fear that Schmitz and Ruef wilk assume absolute contrel of the munici- pal government for two years next January is causing comsiderable un- easiness among all subordinates who are not regarded as friendly to the ad- ministration.
