Special Dispatch to The CALL

SACRAMENTO, Nov. 2.-The captains
story in Mark Twain's Following the
Equator" which told of an Arctic voyage
to a region where it was so cold that "the
mates shadow froze fast TO the deck" has
been dup icated in Sacramento to-day.
There are three shadows frozen to the
deck. One is long, slim, narrow, will
lowy shadow; the second is a little, short
one, while the third is as broad as it Is
long. 1t has been very cold day for the
three and II is feared that they, like the
mate in the story, will have to be ripped
loose by main strength" and then they
will only get about two-thirds of their
shadows back.
As was predicted in The CALL the Re-
publican candidate for Mayor has swept
everything before him. Land received
1904 more votes than Hubbard. and 149

The election passed off very quietly, but
6432 votes being poIled. In no ward was
here single wrangle or dispute. Down
n those wards where there Is usually great
election. the crowds stood around in little
groups, good -naturedly chatting an oc-
Cas- onal Stephens man, and Russ himself
seemed lightly concerned over the over
whelming avalanche of votes cast against
him. Mayor Hubbard viewed the sitlia-
ton down town" from a distance, and
did not seem to enjoy the turn things took
as heartily as he might.
Mr. Land in speaking OF his victory, said
to-night:
~ want to make public acknowledge
ment OF my gratitude for the hearty sup
port and aid OF the San Francisco CALL.
The CALL did heroic service for the en-
tire Republican ticket, and l shall never
forget he kind and generous support it
accorded to me personally. With such a
paper as IHE CALL standing up for our
regular nominees it will not be long be-
fore Sacramento, city and county, will
again be piling up the old Republican ma
iorities which were at one time her pride,
profit and renown."
Dr. Tebbetts, who defeated Wachhorst,
said to THE CALL correspondent tonight:
You can say one thing and that is l am
still a Repubii iican."
