WHO WON!

More than twelve million voters cast their
ballots yesterday. 1t was the climax OF the
most important and most impressive electoral
campaign ever waged upon American soil.
For four months the conflict had ragged in all
parts of the Union. The public press had
teemed with records. indictments, arguments.
Pamphlets and tracts by hundreds of millions
had been scattered broadcast. An army Of
orators had harangued the mutitudes wherever
people could be gathered together. The air had
blazed with banners, and the solid earth had
trembled beneath the measured tread Of march
ing myrads. Fortunes in money had been ex-
pended besides time and labor still more valua

All Yesterday men who believed from the very
bottom of their hearts that there could be bus

surance Of what they kept saying to themselves

of an Overwhelming sense at the last moment
of the magnitude of the risk ard the tremendous
stake. Men and women who had no idea that
their neighbors had a lingering doubt as TO the
issue suddenly looked each other in the face ana
thought of the possibilities involved. And as
they thought of them they drew in their breath
and said What if"
Well. it's all over now. and as The Tribune
said several days ago. There is no What r.
God reigns." There's no doubt now, either
about the event or the deep feeling that per

great crowds that surrounded the bulletins last

Do we want to dismiss this man Bryan with the

WE'LL will he? Shall we let him? Isn't II about

THE METROPOLIS FOR SOUND MONEY


Nobody who watched the hundred thousand
men march mp Broadway last Saturday couih
doubt what the verdict OF Ncw-York City
would be- Those men have shown thar they
can vote as well as march. They have carried
the stronghold OF Democracy for MckinleJ ny
about 10000 plurality. For the first time In
It's history the city Of Newton has been car
ricd by a Republican candidate for President.
The victory Is one in which all Republicans
will rejoice but II II "A victory OF more than
partisan significance. II means that even III II

wacc-earners and forcign-born citizens had

bad nominations. 1t Is apparently difficult for
party managers to learn that they cannot safely
count on a conscience vote contrary TO the die

SWEENY GETS THBRE
I Board of Education After a
Wrang1e Elects a Prin-
cipal for Nc. "A
MINORITY REPORT ADOPTED
Opposition to the Former Super
intendent's Appointment Led
by Messrs. Beach and
Cowles.

The Board of Education succeeded last
night in appointing a Principal for
School No. IA. Mr.. William S. Sweeny,
formerly Principal of the High School,
was selected for the position. but not
without a bitter opposition by two mem
bers of the Board and four voted against
him
The Board did not convene in public
session until half past ten o'clock, the
Teachers Committee being in caucus
considering the appointment over two
hours. and then all the members eau
cused together for half an hour longer.
Director John A. Walker of the Teach
ers' Committee reported that on the
question of the appointment of a Prin-
cipal for School No. II the committee
had been unable to agree, while all adj
mitted that Mr.. Sweeny Is fully capa-
bile to fill the position, some objected to
him on other grounds, believing he is
not just the right man for the place.
and, therefore, he supposed there would
be both a majority and minority report,
and being thus undecided the majority
asked for further time.
Director Degnan, for the minority of
the committee, reported in favor of the
appointment of Mr.. Sweeny. He said
the committee had for a long time had
the matter under consideration. They
had before them thirty-five or more APP
plications and all were considered and
(. none of the applicants were found to be
more competent or better fitted for the
position thar Mr.. Sweeny. Every mem
.ber of the committee acknowledged his
ability, which was the principal essen
tial to guide them in the selection of a
teacher, and yet some wanted to wait
TO see if some other interest could not
be served in the appointment of some
favorite. He moved, as the report of the
minority, that action be taken at once.
A previous motion by Director Cowles,
that the report of the majority be
adopted and further time granted, hav-
ing been withdrawn. Director Obergfell
moved the adoption of the minority re-
port.
This was opposed by Director Cowles'
who said that being a member OF the
Committee on High School he had an
opportunity to know all about Mr.. SWee-
ny's connection with that school and tbs
feeling of the member towards him. HI
had no personal feeling against Mr..
Sweeny, nor did he dispute the claim
sof his ability, but they were there te
endeavor to do what was right and fol-
the best interest of the public schools
, and in the performance of that duty hi
| opposed the appointment of Mr.. Swee.
nv for the reason that1he did not pc
laeve him to be the right mar 70 pIact
In that position. There were many mel
