Mrs. Howe on October 30 was di- vorced from J. Wilson Howe of Wash- ington and New York, a nephew of Dr. Woodrow Wilson, president of Princeton college.

Heney HAT the campaign just concluded was won by men rep- resenting all the people of the city the returns demon- strate. The pluralities piled up for the candidates who stood for the best in government and politics, particularly the votes cast for Mayor Taylor and District Attorney Langdon, prove that fact. Every class of citizen, except the crooked and the grafting and the thieving class, contributed to the result. But there was not that same splendid unanimity among the newspapers of this city—nots/to mention Oakland. The Call was the one morning paper that stood by the graft prosecution and for political cleanliness all the time. From the first The Call was right on the issue. There were powerful interests arrayed against us in this fight, but there proved to be a powerful feeling arrayed for us. That fecling was solidified and marshaled in a great measure, I can say positively, by The Call. Throughout the series of graft investigations which have stirred the vitals of American municipal politics always, have been found brave newspapers that felt the issue of honor and responded to the moral demand. From the time when corruption exposures were new in city life until now, from the day of Tweed to the fall of Ruef, there have been newspapers that have been right on the question. And there have been newspapers wrong on the question. Human frailty sometimes reaches even publxshers and editors. From the incipiency of the graft prosecution until the triumph on Tuesday last of representative government in San Francisco The Call has been right. No one knows that better than I For its vigorous championship of the candidacies of Taylor and Langdon and for its relentless attitude toward those who have sought to betray the people with false and dangerous issues The Call merits the enthusiastic appreciation of all who | have been right—who have been for a clean San Francisco. New York Pleased by Taylor’s Election | Papers Ediforially Say City's Redempfion From Graft Is Now Assured NEW YORK, Nov. 6. —Discussing the Telegraphers Suspend Strike in New York Will Give the Compames Time to Live Up to Agreement With the Union Men Nfiw FORK: ll'w $:—-The telegraph- ers’ strike in this city ias indefinitely nnmenaed by ote of the local commer- cial telegraphérs' union tonigit. After a discussion, ‘during which a motion to ask the national officers to declars the strike off was defeated, resolutions were adopted declaring the strike against the Western Union and Postal telegraph companies suspended from November 7 until a *“full opportu- nity has been given the said telegraph companies to make good the assurances practically conveyed to us.” The strike for higher salaries was declared August’ 12, since which time the companies have refused to enter into any negotiations with the strikers. | editorially: “BY the eléction of Mayor Edward R. Taylor and District Attornéy Willlam | H. Langdon San Francisco has taken another long step toward self redemp- tion from graft and crime. Their de- feat would have signified popular con- demnation of the antigraft prosecu- tions by Langdon and Heney and of the reorganization by Dr. Taylor of the city administration on an honest business basis. It would have been equivalent Bchmitz and Ruef. “Now that San Francisco in a spirit of nonpartisanship has spoken out clearly for decent public morals and decent government and shaken Iitself clear for the time being at least of political corruption, it can hope to re- gain the confidence of the country and to resume resolutely the task of re- building its homes, its industries and MESSSAGE FROM COPPS OAKLAND, Nov. 6.—A. W. Copps, deputy national president of the com- mercial telegraphers, wired the follow- ing today from Chicago {0 W. W. Me- Candlish, president of local No. 34: “CHICAGO, Nov. 6.—W..W. McCan- dlish, Oakland, Cal.: Companies refuse to grant eight hour day or increased wage. Secret ballot taken here to-day resulted 1217 to 29 in favor of continu- ing the strike. I'have no fears ahout Jocal 34. Stick. A. W. COPPS.” President McCandlish read the mes- sage at a speciz] meeting of the unien which was held this:. evening ll West Oakland. He sald: “We feel that we have the fight won, and with the financial assistance we are now getting from local labor unions we can hold out all winter if necessary. “Next Sunday the rallroad eperators will be with us, and on Monday the tie- up will be complete. All men on the Union Pacific have mads similar pro- vision to join in the movement not to handle commercial business after No- vember 10, as has also the Denver and Rio Grande.” “Convict Schmitz of San Francisco now realizes that a jail is a bad place from which to conduot a campaign against decency.” The Globe says: “The fact that many of the old supporters_ of Schmitz gave their votes for Mayor Taylor in the San Francisco election, that even in strong labor union districts the labor union candidate did not gain votes enough ,to bring him up near Doctor Taylor, is indication that the regenara- tion of San Francisco has more than surface veneer. When the successful run of Reform District Attorney Lang- don, whose vote will stand next to that of Mavor Taylor, emphasizes the notice that it is a bad day for the rascals. Ap- parently thought has been put into the braing of the thoughtless. Many have been led to see that a municipal elec- tion has more than a cvass significance that it may have national and even in- ternational significance. And they have been patriotic enough to abandon the narrow for the broader view. Much credit is due, no doubt, to many liberal minded members of unions—credit which must always be due to those who are of that free and unfettered spirit that can sympathize with noc!hty as well as with the next door neighbor. That the results of the election will mean a new stimulus to the remaf#k- able rebuilding of the city there can be no doubt. Now, when the city is going up, it is realized that a clean and effi- clent government is as essential to its building as are honest and skillful architects, contractors and laborers.” Mrs. Metcali Walks, Fearmg Stmness WASHINGTON, Nnv. 6.—The ever watchful ones of society have found out that Mrs. Victor H. Metcalf, the handsome wife of the secretary of the KANSAS CITY STRIKE OFF KANSAS CITY, Nov. 6.—The striking commercial telegraphers of this city at a meeting tonight declared the strike off. There were originally about 375 strikers here, but only 150 attended the meeting tonight. Of these, it is said, only 75 will sesk re-employment from the telegraph companies. ASK FOR OLD PLACES " CHICAGO, Nov. 6.—At a meeting of the ' commercial telegraphers’ union held here today it was decided to call off the strike of the operators. About 300 men applied to the companies to- day for reinstatement.

Woodruff of the republican state committee, who wired the president today that| yesterday’s republican victory in. Kings county was due to Roose- velt's strength in Brooklyn, said | tonight that he believed that the demand would be such that the president would be obliged to ac- cept a renomination. He said: “I am of the opinion that the de- mand for the Temomination of Theo- dore Roosevelt will be so strong next spring that the president will‘ be ob- liged to accept a renomination. Every indication points to his being swept into office by an overwhelming vote. “Under the leadership of Roosevelt in the mation and of Hughes in the state, the rank and file of the Inde- pendence league will. in my judgment, vote hereafter with * the republican party.” The New York results, city and state, remain as Teported last night, Justices Edward T. and Willard Rartlett, joint damocrnfl; and republican nominees, ‘being elected as justices of the court of appeal, and the Tammany ticket in Naw York county having a plurality over the independence league-republi- can fusion candldates. The most sweeping Tammany victory was in the election of Thomas Foley for sheriff over Max F. Thmeen, the fusion nominee, with a plurality of 24717 Thmsen: has for Vears been campaign manager for W. R. Hearst. In Brook- lyn the democratic forces under Mc- Carren suffered a severe setback, the republicans electing their entire county ticket, except the district attorney and surrogate. The fuslon did not extend to that borough. The republicans were victorious in the cities of Buffalo, Albany, Rochester, Syracuse, Oswego and Utica, electing a mayor in the latter place for the first time in 134 years. To offset this the demdcrats carried Newburgh for the first time in 17 years. Elmira, Rome and -Binghamton also elected demo- cratic mayors. CONCEDES REPUBLICANS WIN TRENTON, N. I, Nov. 6.—Frank Katzenbach Jr, democratic candidate for governor of New Jersey, tonight conceded the election of John Frank- lin Fort, his republican opponent. by 7,000 votes, .and made the following statement: “From the somewhat incomplete re- turns furnished I belisve that Judge Fort. has been elected. T have sent him my congratulations.” Late returns do not change the com- plexion of the state senate, which gives the republicans 14 to 7 for the demo- c¢rats. The lower house will stand: Re- publicans 48, democrats 18. The pres- ent house has 31 democrats to 29 re- publicans. Katzenbach's strength in the voting was. & genuine surprise. He made gains in practically all of the demo- cratic strongholds, carried the nor- mally republican county of Essex by 157 and reversed a republican plurality of 1,200 in Monmouth county. ANTIMORMONS WIN SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 6—~Through the election of -John D. Bransford as mayor, the general city ticket and a majority of the city council, the Amer- ican party will retain complete control of this city for two .years. The vic- tory was won on the issue of Mormon | church domination, the Americans claiming that the other parties were under ecclesiastical control. Bransford received 11,774 votes; Morris, democrat, 5,982; Plummer, republican, 6,340. The council stands: Americans 9, demo- crats 4, Republicans 2.
