The people of Oakland are well pleased
with the result of the election ard are hope
full of bright and prosperous future in
municipal government.
The defeated ringsters are crestfallen,
but there are not many to give them SYM
pathy.
Among the solid. respectable citizens there
Is yet a feeling of jubilation. They are
proud at feeling that they have demon
strated the truth that municipal affairs in
American cities may be put into the hands
Of decent, honest and capable men if the
respectable element of society will only
take sufficiently active interest In local
politics.
They feel that they have won a glorious
victory that is not besmirched with political
nastiness.
They feel gratifying sense of relief in
knowing that the city is free from the un-
satisfactory rule Of several years.
There is a general anticipation that the
men they have elected will ably and hon
estly solve the very important problems
concerning the water front, the boulevard
and other things closely connected with the
clty's welfare and progress.
A progressive administration Is expected,
and the mass of the Oakland people rejoice.
There is one obstacle in the way of prog
ress, say some of the residents, and that is
In the Board Of Public Works. The mem
bers Of that body, three in number, are
appointed for four years, and during the
next official term there will be only one
place to fill. j. n. Phillips, who was re-
Gently appointed to fill the place of Mr..
Playter, retlres on tile 1st of the coming
month. j. F. Carothers, Republican,
and Robert Hughes, Democrat, are both
ring men, and a Nou-Partisan with them
viii probably make deadlock.
This is as yet only Imaginary, but the
general feeling seems to be that the new
Council will be somewhat handicapped.
There are several vacancies on the Board
Of Health to fill, and the most prominent of
the men looking for one of the appoint
ments is DR.. Woolsey, who was an inde-
pendent candidate for the mayoralty
Dr. Woolsey has been on the board be-
fore, and he practically controls It when
numbered with its members. This method
Of conducting affairs does not altogether
agree with the Non-Partisan platform, and
they seem to be very little in favor of DR..
WoOlsey getting the appointment.
The City Attorney is another fat Office,
and many wires are being pulled in that
direction. The incumbent, James A. john
son, Is very popular man and has proven
to be very efficient officer. and the people
do not look for a change In that direction.
TIE Board of Education will look around
for a Superintendent of Schools, but the
chances are thatthe present Superintendent.
Mr. McClymonds. will remain where he is.
as nearly all the newly elected trustees are
friendly with him and consider him capa-
bic man.
The newly elected Mayor, George C. Par
dee, said that the matter of appointments
had not troubled him any, and he could not
say what the course in that direction would
be until the Council met and considered
the changes that would be necessary to carry
out the policy of the people.
The first thing, he said, that would occupy
his attention was the waterfront question.
Then will come the improvement of streets
and sewers. The city will be we'll looked
after In the granting of franchises, and
when the time comes water rates must come
down to fair basis.
Honest administration" will be the
motto of the new Council, and progress
will be made as fast as economy will per-
nit There is lot for the Council to do,
and the newly elected City Fathers will get
att as soon as possible and look out for
oAkland's interests at every turn.
There is but little doubt but that J. w.
McClymonds will be reelected City Super
intendent of Schools by the new board of
School Directors when they take Office. 1t
McClymonds is not selected some other
suitable man will be. There is already con-
estant for the Office named P. W. Fisher.
His candidacy Is considered little prema-
ture, and is by some regarded as joke.
Praise From the Oakland "Enquirer." !"
In its issue last evening the Oakland
Enquirer said:
The CALL and the Bulletin of San Fran
cisco aided In the splendid work aud sup
pemented In magnificent way the service
rendered to honest administration of public
affairs by those papers in the recent Nom
Partisan fight across the bay. 1t was a
glorious victOiT, and all who aided iD the
least measure in its achievement may rest
assured that the future prosperity Of this
redeemed city will serve as monument 20
