RILEY FOLLOWING BOUGHT OFF
NO OTHER INTERPRETATION
FOR Els SMALL VOTE.
Election in Boston Resulted In the
triumph of Quincy, Gold Demo-
crat, By Decreased Majority.

Boston, Dec. 21.-Mayor Josiah M.
Quincy, Democrat, WIS reelected to-
day by a decreased plurality over ex-
Mayor Curtis, his opponent of two
years ago, although the city went Re
publican at the state election last
month. The attempt to split the DEM
ocratic vote in the city by vigorous
work on the part of Thomas Riley run
ming as a silver Democrat, proved fu-
tile His rallies We're crowded and his
audiences apparently loyal, but less
than 5000 votes supported him at the
polls the Democrats remaining loyal to
Quincy.
Notwithstanding the strong effort
which was made by the Republicans to
get out a heavy vote in the suburban
and back bay wards, which usually
poll heavy Republican majorities, May
or Quincy made great gains over the
vote of Williams at the state election,
while in some cases there was a de-
cided falling off in the vote of the OPP
position. On the other hand the usu-
ally strong Democratic wards, where
the registration for this election has
been very heavy, did not show any
special gains for the Democratic can
didate and in some cases there was a
decrease.
The surprise of the election was the
small vote for Riley. Even in the wards
where he made his greatest effort and
where he was backed by young poll
ticians who claimed to have strong
following, only a few were found in his
support at the polls, while in his own
precinct he received but two votes.
The total vote was little more than
that Of two years ago, when the regis
tration was 81, 4S6 against 1872, 4S0 for
the present election. The total vote for
mayor, with one precinct missing, is
as follows:
Quincy, Democrat, 39,7O7; Curtis, Re
publican, 1914; Riley, Bryan Demo-
crat, 2,SS5; Goldstein, Socialist 776.
