A request for officers at 20S Wilmington
street, in Precinct 57B, was complied with
in the persons of three blue-coated guard
lans OF the peace, but it was somewhat
doubtful as to why their presence was
asked for, since there was no disturbance
there during the day, except the prospective
encounter between Tom Quinn and Harvey
Branscomb, both parties being officers them
selves
Taking everything into consideration, the
Eighth ward behaved itself as well as any
VIGOROUSLY tough ward could, and it was
evident from the number of votes cast that
considerable interest was excited in these
last city politics.
NINTH WARD
There was plenty of excitement in the
siXty-eighth precinct of the Ninth ward,
, and with dog fights and free whisky the day
passed off pleasantly for those who appre-
! ciate that way of combining business and
pleasure on election day. The principal
vote in this particular precinct, as in the
s.hers Of the ward, was. polled between
sunrise and 10 o'clock. At the latter hour
l0S had been registered, against ITO polled
in the county contest
Before that hour a man named Drum
mond, actink under order of his Repub-
lican bosses, secured a small quantity of in
different whisky and had it on tap in his
barn, which is near the polling booth
Every man who would promise to vote for
the proper candidates was escorted to the
,, barn and given a drink. Whether this
whisky was not up to the expectation OF
the Woud-be voters, or whether in order to
supply two drinks to doubtful ones the
managers had diluted the beverage, is not
stated. At any rate the better element of
the precinct heard the complaint of the un-
satisfied and promptly investigated, with
the result that Mr.. Drummond closed his
temporary establishment and the crowd
ceased to smile.
Shortly before IL o'clock some OF the
hangers-on suggested that in order to give
an idea how things were going the crowd
make straw ballot. While preparations
were being made to act upon this sagges-
ton, they were interrupted by hostile dun.

THE REPUBLICANS CAPTURE THE CITY HALL

The city election is over. Democratic
defeat is the verdict. The Republican
triumph was of wholesale order, from top
to toe of the ticket, but few survivors OF
the union parties being allowed to breathe.
Only one Democratic city official remains
and there will be but two representatives
of the Democratic party in the city council,
while not single Democrat will grace the
board of education.
The general impression yesterday was that
an unusually large vote was polled, but the
figures belle this idea In the mayoralty
contest 1875 votes were cast, against l6,
400 two years ago. The race between Eaton
and Snyder was the most exciting of several
exciting contests. With the returns of the
first fifty precincts that came to hand the
two candidates ran neck and neck, but
Eaton's strength in the Fifth ward, inwhich
he scored 597 votes more than his opponent,
settled the issue. Snyder's plurality of
1900 two years ago is Knocked out by over
1000 votes, Eatons plurality in yesterdays
election being 4l.
The single Democratic victory for city
office, that Of Captain Hance, who was re-
elected city clerk by 696 votes, was generally
anticipated, and was not only tribute to
his personal popularity, but to the excellent
conduct OF the affairs of his office during the
last two years.
The Democrats had hoped to also elect
the city attorney, the city engineer and posi-.
bly, the superintendent of streets. Judge
c. C.. Wright was, however, beaten by AGO
votes. while very bitter pill had to be
swallowed by the present incumbent of the
city engineers office in that he was defeated
by just a thousand votes.
John Drain the reelected superintendent
of streets, had the fight of his life, and

onstrations on the part of two CANNES.
Quick to take advantage of an opportunity
to settle the mayoralty contest in quicker
way, the crowd christened one of the ami
mails Snyder and the other Eaton, and sent
them in to do battle. The supporters OF
the respective candidates encouraged their
lusteredgc eelection. be eroot6;, ,-,th e( u,
candidates namesake and the fight waxed
warm. At the end of ten minutes Eaton S
namesake was vanqushed.
In the sixty-fifth precinct several voters
who gave their residence as county hospital
were challenged, on the ground that being
inmates of the hospital they had neither
gained nor lost residence. At 3:2O over
l7S votes were cast, against 1856 in the county
contest. Precinct Ga, the largest i the CITY.
polled 300 votes up to $3.50. The indications
were in favor of Blanchard. This seems
to be the general tone of the entire ward
Precinct 66 was very quiet OF the p
votes cast at noon it was stated two-thrds
were Republicans.
Only one vote was challenged in precinct
g. and at 3:20 o'clock pol votes had been
polled. The total vote of the county elec-
ton in this precinct was PIT.
In all precincts the charter was lost,

polled, against 229 in the county election
At that time Snyder was running very strong
with holster, who seemed to be hot favor
| ite, little stronger. 1t was stated that
the employees of the Los Angeles Brewing
company were doing their best to give
| Wright the sharp edge of the knife. Pre-
cinct at II o'clock had polled ll5 and at
o'clock 255, against 2S5 in the state and
county election. Pierce was more than
| holding his own.
In the second and third precincts the
voting was quiet. In the former at sc
over l44 votes were cast and at 4:50 264
| against 295.
| Precinct at $40 had poled 253 votes and
| the indications were favorable for much
| larger vote.
SECOND WARD
The election passed off very quietly in the
Second ward but the force of the oil mems
vote was distinctly felt from the beginning
The opposition to Eaton was quite pro
nounced in the oil district, where for like
| reasons Baker received a heavy vote. AT
| 10 a. m. in the sixteenth precinct SO votes
had been cast, the ballots coming in with
more than ordinary promptness. Nearly
all were at that hour against the new char.
| ter and the vote was two to one for Snyder
In precinct II at Ii: Is a. M, ITO had voted
or more than half the total cast during the
| day. At 10 a. m. in precinct 9, Sc votes
| had been cast, four to one for Snyder, and
strong opposition to the charter was noted
Voting started off in precinct Is very
slowly, at one time the vote being 30 short
| of the proportionate number due at that
hour. This was made up and at 1917 a
| IN. the vote was moving along regularly.
Scarcely any challenges were made in the
Second ward, and in most such instances
the votes were sworn in. Tney were mainly
for not being in the precinct thirty days, and
one man in the fifteenth precinct was not
sure about it and declined to take the oath
No disturbance occurred.
THIRD AND FOURTH
Voting began early in the Third and
Fourth wards yesterday morning Half q,
the vote had been polled by noon. Every
thing was peaceful, as becomes the people
of those wards. There was silent vote
so that no one could tell where it was going.
Enthusiasts on the Democratic ticket
claimed the ward for Huber and if they
had been in any other ward but the Fourth
upfeeling men would have suggested that
the back door of some convenient saloon had
been left open by mistake. But the en-
thusiasm was based upon idle fancies, born
of the wishes of their hearts, for the re-
turns showed that Silver had good work
ing majority. Early in the day it was evi
dent that Louis Vetter, in the Third
would win in walk.
The surprising part, of the days vote was
the gains of Mayor Snyder in the Third and
Fourth wards. At every precinct were the
busy workers, but the Republicans had the
best of it in, that regard, either because
they had more money or else the esprit de
corp was better in their organization. In
several Of the precincts the Democrats were

which numbered 265.
SEVENTH WARD

| SEVENTH WARD
Remarkably heavy polling was the no.
ticeable feature of the election in the
Seventh ward yesterday. Up early as soon
as the polls opened the voters commenced
to get in their deadly work. 1t was evident
to even the most casual observer that Sny-
der was the favorite, and Democrats ap-
peared to show twice for every Republican.
The heaviest polling was in the 50th pre-
cnct, where 25l votes were cast by $3.50
o'clock in the afternoon. The ward was
quiet and the Democrats appeared to he
satisfied as to an easy victory for their
, party.
On no side could good word be heard
for the new city charter, and no doubt
seemed to exist in the popular mind that it
was knocked out. holster and Drain for
ming even during the morning, but holster
seemed to be slightly gaining in the after
noon. No unusual events marked the day,
the most conspicuous features of which,
were the heavy polling and apparent salts
faction of the Democrats, whose confidence
in the election of M. P. Snyder was some
thing beautiful to behold.
For once in the history of Los Angeles the
Eighth ward has failed to live up to it's nick
name of the Bloody Eight" For an cleo
tion day it passed off very quietly, and out
side of few of the tough element, who had
INDUCED "unwisely, but extremely WELL"
there were few disturbances to mark the i'm
portant event. In the entire ward the
morning vote was very light, but in the af-
ternoon 1t grew by leaps and bounds. The
sixty-frst precinct, which has formerly en-
joyed the worst reputation in the ward, was
unusually orderly. Between 1880 in the
morning and closing time, l34 votes were
added to the light vote of 80 polled be-
tween a quarter to six and half past ten in
that precinct.
In Precinct 57B, Deputy Constable Tom
Quinn, who was a polling clerk, came into
contact with Constable Harvey Branscomb
the Pooh-Bah of Calabasas. The trouble
arose over an opinion expressed by Tom
Quinn as to the result of the election.
wat ELL" said he of Calabasas, and the
commencement of the beginning was about
to start when bystanders interfered.
Tom Quinn, however, always on the alert
to defend his rights, defed the worthy
Lord High Executioner, and Calabasas re-
tired in disorder. He later returned and
apologized to the doughty Los Angeles dep
uty, and peace was restored. Socialism
and Repubicanism were discussed loud and
long, but physical force was at discount,
and the better element appeared to prevail,
A slight disturbance was created in Pre-
cinct 5SA, at COS East First street, where
saloon keeper named Henry Bckel per-
sisted in hugging the polling place to the dis
comfort of anxious voters. A telephone
message brought Police Sergeant Smith and
eight patrolmen down there, and after be-
ing threatened with arrest the German
crawfshed, to the delight of the bystanders.

BOARD OF EDUCATION

not well equipped. In one the challenger
left early in the game, and was heard of no
more. Whether he had hurrah or some
kind spirit from the other world whis-
pered to him of the coming defeat only he
can say, but at any rate there were things
said that no lady would say in the presence
OF a gentleman.
The vote was good one compared with
the vote at the state election, but it was
evident that many people had it in for the
charter. Both sides had plenty of con-
veyances of all sizes and styles, from the
single rig with fast horse to the bulky
three-seater, and lazy voter was in his
element, because he had only to stay at
home, and he would be sent for. In the
afternoon there was a good crowd around
the polling place in the eleventh precinct,
but there was no disturbance of any kind
In one precinct in the Fourth ward that
shall be nameless a Republican took the re-
porter to one side and said Huber would
surely be elected, because all the election
board would vote for him. Take it all in all
it was very ladylike election, and one that
the Second, Third and Fourth wards should
be proud of.
c. c. Davis wandered around rather help
lessly looking for some one to run against,
and eyed Herman Silver enviously, know
ing that he was supposed to be up against
the real thing. Davis was rather sus-
pected of going over in the Fifth and trying
to cut down Tolls majority but it is a ru-
NOR not supported by any facts obtainable
as yet.
FIFTH AND SIXTH
| In the Fifth and Sixth wards the ballots
came early and heavy SO as at first to give
rise to expectations that a much larger vote
would be polled than at the recent county
and state elections. Toward noon it was
seen that the number of votes would not be
larger in the Fifth, but that many had cast
their ballots earlier in the day. AT 5 clock
the totals showed that fewer men had
been at the polls in the Fifth ward than in
the recent election, while the Sixth ward
made perceptibe increase. The greater
part of this gain was made in the precincts
ON Central avenue.
No trouble was experienced in any pre-
cincts of these wards, most precincts re-
porting no challenges, and the Seventy-sec-
ond reporting the highest-two. Every
thing proceeded in quiet and orderly man
ner and no arrests were made.
Those in favor of the new charter were
out in numbers in the Fifth ward, but the
Sixth gives majority against it, more es-
pecially in precincts ASA, Ash and A. In
the Fifth ward Lieutenant Joy Winans,
Democratic candidate for treasurer, made Il
strong fight, being assisted by many of
his comrades from the Seventh regiment.
The two candidates from the Sixth ward,
Pessel and Edwards, made a very close
contest.
To the 44th precinct belongs the honor

and Sixth wards. The vote squaled that
