The election officials have not yet brought them in. This fact, together with the rumor that Gill was gaining, has led the Cotterill forces to send out two hundred watchers. They did not take this action until they feared that some attempt might be made to stuff enough ballots to over- come Cotterill’s lead. George F. Cotterill is Seattie’s next mayor by a lead of from 500 te 1,500 votes. The people verdict rendered in the recall election has been em- Phasized and re The terminal project has carried by what appears to be more than the required three-fifths vote, ‘The Bogue plans were defeated decisively. ‘The municipal telephone proposition wa indorsed by a big majority. The single tax wat defeated by a vote cf more than two to one. All four of the socialists have been defeated, although Burgess, for the one-year term, is running close to Marble. Mayor-elect Cotteril! will take hi it in the office of the city’s chief executive on March 18. ‘ The high candidates in the primary have all won, with the exception of Gill and Burgess. A total vote of about 65,000 was cast, but of this only about 62,000 were cast for mayor, showing that the “card” socialists stood by their pledge and refused to vote for either Gill or Cotterill. There are about 1,800 “card” socialists. As near as can be estimated now, the vote for Gill and Cotterill, when officially checked, will be as follows: ¢ «31,600 Cotterill Mess sc es - 30,000 The Cotterill managers have unofficial returns from ail except one precinct, and these give Cotterill 500 lead. Other estimates give him as high as 1,500. The one missing precinct is No. 281. It hi bout 90 votes and can’t change the outcome. a vote Of five to one, if the first 58 city pre- criterion. in the country they carried by The terminals carri cinets can be taken about two to one. OFFICIAL COUNT “SLOW A comparison of the official.totals in the pol) books returned to the comptroller this morning with those compiled officially last night show but little change In the general result. While in some of the precincts Cottertil has been favored in the unofficial re- turns, Gill likewise was favored in others. BRADFORD HAS SAFE LEAD In 58 precincts, complete official returns show is leading Brown for corporation counsel by a 25 per cent major- ity. Bradford’s vote is shown at 5798 and Brown's at 4118, Carroll leads Chandler by a safe majority in the same precincts, the former receiving 4506 votes to the latter's 3682. TERRY EASILY RE-ELECTED in these precincts, has polled 6155 votes to 3588 polled his socialist opponent. SHCRAM MAY NOSE OUT HAAS The councilmanic plums are conceded to Peirce and Goddard, while Schram is making a hard fight to displace Haas as third man. Haas was top man in the primaries. BURGESS ONLY 800 BEHIND One of the hottest scraps in the election is that between Burgess, socialist, and Marble, for the one-year term in the council. The 58 precincts officially checked show Burgess about 800 behind, in a total vote for both candidates of about 12,000. In the 58 precincts completely checked, in favor of Erickson’s single tax amendment, The Griffiths amendment fared exen worse.
