Les Angeles County Goes
for Bryan
GLORY ENOUGH FOR ONE DAY
The City Will Give Bryan One
Thousand Majority
CLOSE TO TWO THOUSAND

Graveyard

William Meade Elected Assemblyman In the
Seventy.third District

Los Angeles city has given majority
for Bryan.
So has Los Angeles county.
This is glory enough for one day.
Considering the fact that there seems
co have been landslide in the country
for Mckinley, this is really wonderful
showing.
The city and county ought to have
given a Mckinley majority of 5000 under
normal conditions
But it did not.
In lieu thereof the Bryan electors have
a majority of about 1900, as near as can
be estimated at this hour-4 a. m
In the city Bryan has carried the First.
Second, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth and
Ninth wards.
The Eighth has been carried, good and
hard. 1t gives Bryan about HOO ma
jority.
The Seventh has come up smiling with
about 500 majority.
The Sixth is strictly in it with COM
Portable majority.
The Fifth is, as usual hopeless, with
500 majority for Mckinley.
The Fourth and Third will be close.
with the chances in favor Of Mckinley.
The Second has gone for Bryan by 200
majority.
The First is Bryan ward by $50 ma
jority.
So it will be seen that Mr.. Bryan has
carried Los Angeles city and to him the
people of this city send greeting.
1t will, therefore, be borne in mind
that there is Silver Republican club in
Los Angeles county that did great work
for Bryan.
All interested parties can call at the
rooms of the club, 31S West Second
street, and glance over the club rolls
today If they so desire. The club has a
membership of 5010, and they evidently
voted yesterday for Bryan.
The result in Los Angeles county will
for the next four years be referred to
with pride by the people of this city
who remained true to their faith and
convictions as to the free and unlimited
coinage of silver
1t is probable that if the publication of
the Los Angeles Times could have been
suspended for ninety days prior to the
election the county might possibly have
been carried for Mckinley.
The vote in this county, considered In
connection with the result in the coun-
try at large. is a commentary on the in
fluence of that journal. With a Repub-
lican landslide everywhere. county
of 5000 reverses it and goes over to the
champion of the people-William ].
Bryan.
Col IL. g. Otis can now proceed to ex-
plain the why's and wherefores of this
all to M. Hanna of Cleveland Ohio.
j. McLachlan has, by the voters of Los
Angeles county and the Sixth congress-
ional district, been retired to the walks
of private life.
He will no longer misrepresent this
people in the halls of congress. He will
not again be there to betray the peo-
pies harbor at San Pedro and do the
bidding of Coils p. Huntington
In retiring McLachlan and electing
Charles A. Barlow the people have done
a good job. Barlow may not be an in
tellectual giant. but he is an honest man,
and that is a great deal.
The election of Gen. Johnstone Jones
to the senate in the Thirty-seventh dis
trict is in doubt.
BILLY" Meade is elected to the az
sembly In the Seventy-third district, all
Of which will be eminently satisfactory.
Frank A. Cattern has been elected in
the Seventyfirst district despite the ly-
ing vilification of the Times
The vote in the Seventy fifth, between
Gross and Waldron, is close with the
chances in favor of Cross.
In the Seventieth district Melick Is
good round vote.
In the Seventy-fourth Price has been
beaten by l.. H. Valentine.
George Pessell has been beaten for
supervisor in the Second district by r.
q. Wirsching, by the vote of the Fifth
ward
James Hanley has knocked out E. e.
johnson in the Fifth supervisoral dis
trict. for which all good citizens can feel
thankful
w S. Morgan has probably beaten A.
j.. Davis in the Fourth diErict, but this
remains to be established
w. r. Steele has undoubtedly beaten
Brewster Cox Kenyon in the Seventy
second assembly district, and the South
ern Pacific is thereby deprived Of a
handy man in the legislature.
For superior judges, Clark and Shaw
are surely elected, with a possibility
that Hazard and Munday have beaten
b. N. Smith and NJ 7. Allen
In the city 1t would appear that Bar
tholemew was elected city justice and
that Morrison had defeated Morgan
The vote between Morrison and owens
Will be close. One of them is elected,
but which one cannot be stated until
more complete returns are at hand.
The election in the city was a quiet
one. A tremendous vote was poIled
early in the day There were no disturb
dilceo dl lIie Poiis III any OF the precincts.
In the Eighth ward, considering the
large vote registered, light one was
polled. People failed to turn out.
One thing the vote polled clearly es-
tablishes, and that is the fact that the
registration taken in this county was
shamelessly stuffed. County Clerk
