give George B. Swift, for mayor, a plu-
rality of Al, no. the largest ever known
here in similar contest. The civil SER
vice law was carried by majority of 45,-
570 Other candidates of the Republican
city ticket were all elected, although
Trude, Democratic candidate for city at
torney. ran nearly 20 900 ahead of his
ticket. The Republicans also made a
clean sweep of town Offices south, north
and west, and in the annexed districts,
HYDE Park and Lake View, while in the
town of Lake, Stockyard district, one of
the supposed to be Democratic strong
holds. the Republican landslide was re-
markable. The election gives the Repub-
licans complete contol of the city council,
which viii contain fifty Republicans and
only eighteen Democrats. DR.. Holmes,
Peoples party candidate for mayor, re-
ceiyed 1000 votes. less than half as many
as were polled by the third party last fall.
The plan of campaign of the Democratic
candidate for mayor, Franck Menter, was
to cut into the German Republican vote,
and on this theory he expected to be
elected.
An examination of the returns show
that he did get some German Rebpubll-
can votes but the Irish Democratic votes
he lost more than Offset the gains among
the Germans. The Bohemians. Poles
and Italians apparently deserted him.
The greatest reinforcement that Swift
and the Republicans received was from
the votes of the laboring classes. Many
of those who voted the Peoples party
ticket last fall went into the Republican
party.
except to say Evidently the people did
not want another Democratic mayor at
this time. -
Mayor Hopkins, Democrat, was appar-
ently not surprised at the result. I'VE
have carried civil service he said, with
twinkle in his eye, when asked what he
thought of the result.
Chairman Peabody of the Democratic
campaign committee said: 'Instead of
coming to Wenter's support, [ think the
foreign born citizens want it understood
that they are Americans, and forthat -ea-
son they rather resented the claims set up
as to their prejudices.
Mayor-elect Swift said: SIT is a source
of great satisfaction to know that the
people of Chicago have outgrown the
campaign of vlihcation and appeals to
race prejudice.
Martin Madden. Republican, vice-pres-
ident OF the Western Stone company, de-
feated Attorney Frank Walker, Democrat,
for alderman in the silk stocking Fourth
ward.
Noble b. Judah, Republican, is another
notable winner for a seat in the city coun-
Gil "Hinkey Dink' kenna went down
with other Democrats, his successful OPP
moment being Patrick Glason, Republican.
.'Buck" Mccarthy, Republican, won in
the stock yard district, the greatest sur
prise of the election. About the only non
Republican who squeezed in was ex-Con-
gresham Frank Lawler. independent,
who, owing to quarrel between the Re-
publican factions, captured a seat as

Mayor-elect Swift has decided to appoint
O. d. Wetherill city collector. Mr.. Weth-
erill held the position under the admins
tration OF Mayor Harrison.
In Moline the Peoples party gets mayor,
six out of seven aldermen and the remain
der of the ticket.
In Rock Island the Republicans secure
all the offices but county clerk and two
aldermen.
In Peoria the Republicans elect all but
the collector.
In Springfield the Democrats swept
everything but two aldermen. In the
Tenth congressional district G.. W. Prince

PROVIDENCE, r. 1. April S-The
state elections for fall ticket will be held
today. If recent results are any test the
Republicans will have a walkover. The
Legislature consists of 104 Republicans and
s Democrats. At the last state election
the Republicans triumphed by plurality
OF 630T. On congressman, elected the same
day, the Republican plurality was 9000
The Republican ticket is: Governor
Charles Warren Lippitt of Providence;
lieutanent-governor, Edwin A. Allen of
Hopkinton; secretary Of state, Charles =.
Bennett of Providence; attorney general,
Edwin G. Dubois of East Providence;
treasurer, Samuel Clark of Lincoln. The
platform favors a return to a tariff sys-
TEN, recognizes as of primary Importance
the principles of protection, protests
against cheap money, demands liberal
appropriations for the maintenance of the
navy and declares for biennial state cleo
tions.
The Democrats have this ticket: Gov
ernor, George L. Lttlefeld of Pawtucketr
lieutenant governor, Augustus S. Mile
of Providence; secretary OF state, George
w. Green of Woon socket; attorney gem
eral, George t. Brown OF Providence; treas
urer, John G. Perry of South Kensington.
Their platform simply declares for con-
stitutional convention and denounces the
plan for biennial sessions. The fact that
the Republican candidate for governor of
Rhode Island is a son of former governor
and the Democratic candidate the brother
of another former governor, seems to
show that the Office of chief executive
magistrate runs in the families on Provi-
dence plantations.
Election in Rhode Island for state Off
GERS was very quiet. Voting almost every
where favored the Republicans. East
Providence was an exception to the gen.
eral rule. There the license question was
a live issue and created considerable in
terest.

bly, will include thrty-two Republican

sentatives. three Democratic senators and
