I am afraid now, and have been since last night when l found out how things were going, that in some districts the good old recount that was so much in fashion a few years ago, Is to be at- tempted in this election. l have been afraid that these boxes would be car, fixed up to suit, and 1t has been taking all my attention. It means nothing but fraud when returns are delayed in this way, and I propose to bring them Tn 1T the law and the pollce can do It.

1t is more reprehensib1e than the outright purchase of votes with cold cash.
 How much truth there is in these charges that are being so freely made may never be known, but it Is certain that intelligent citizens will scan the election re- turns, compare the vote given Mcguire and that given Phelan, and then draw their own conclu- sionS. In the same connection they will consider the ante-elec- ton effort of MT. Phelan's mana gers to trade the party organiza- tion and the party patronage to Rainey and Harney in return for their support. That attempt was a base betrayal of personal and party friends. All things consid- cred, the contest just closed will no doubt leave a lasting taint of bad feeling between all who have been interested in 1t on the Dem ocratic side.
 As to the offices other than that of Mayor there seems to have been a desire on the part. of a majority of the voters to defeat the men who>now hold office and to give their places to those who have not been in the public ser vice. There were exceptional in stances, particularly on the Dem ocratic side, where the private character of aspirants to office was of nature to cause the ma jority of voters to scratch their names in the voting booths. Much of the work of enlighten- ing voters in this regard was un- dertaken by The Call, and the re- suit, as shown by the count, dem onstrates that the work was not in vain.

BIGGY FEARED
 BOGUS BALLOTS
Looked for Fraud in Re- turns on the General
 Ticket.

The old practices of juggling with elec- ton ballots, falsifying reports and doc toring the tally-sheets might have been repeated yesterday if the most stringent and preventive measures had not been adopted. Early yesterday morning there were indications of gross dereliction of duty on the part of some election officers and questionable conduct In the withhold ing of the State ballots on the part of others.

Blggy started and found that unless the utmost circumspection were used there would be a tampering with the ballots He had no sooner returned from this early morning ride than he was called into the Thirty eighth District This time he went with a patrol wagon and an escort of police. What he found verified his fears. Stretched out on the tables were the cleo ton officers in a state of intoxication. the ballots practically untouched.---Mr. Biggy ordered them out and placed other men in charge in order to secure fair and honest count.

ELECTED BY VOTES OF
 SMALL LAND OWNERS
To\ This Class DP. Washington Dodge, Assessor, Declares
 Is Due His Success,

pr. Washington Dodge, the successful candidate for Assessor, was a very happy but very tired representative of the Democratic party last evening after there were enough favorable returns brought from the various voting places to insure his election. He went to his home early, but not before speaking of the campaign and why he believed he had se- cured more votes than his opponent, John D. Siebe.
 Dr. Dodge was asked the question: ITO what do you attribute your success in this election, when so many of your party have been defeated? The Asses sor-elect let his thoughts run over the events of the past few weeks before an- swering, and then said: There were two principal factors in my election. One Is that my friends worked day and night in my behalf and continued the fight when 1t was either mans battle The other fac-

tor was my opponent himself. His as- sessment of the small property owners in the past did not do him any good in this election"
 ''In what manner did his official con- duct affect the small property owners, that you speak of?' was asked of Dr. Dodge.
 The answer was not direct. as he said ''When my friends and I were watching the returns I would sometimes be a little discouraged at the small consideration received at the hands of those who live in the fine big houses on Pacific Heights and fin the Western Addition, where MT. Siebe seemed to be well liked. Never mind said my friends, wait until the re- turns come in from the people in the val ieys who have only small holdings. See what they think of your opponent True enough, I found that these people gave me their entire support, and in this city the small property owner Is in the great majority, when it comes to voting. Then, again. Mir Siebe's methods of conducting his campaign were not-well. will not say anything about his campaign meth ods. It would look like rubbing 1t Into a defeated candidate, and his lack of sue cess is enough for him."

votes for lesser lights on either ticket was watched with interest scarcely less intense.
 Among politicians and those who take a more active interest in things political there was but one topic of conversation yester- day. It was the great and re- markable discrepancy between the vote given Mcguire in this city and that given to Phelaan. Everywhere 1t was asserted that this result was brought about by a trade made by Phelan's mana gers at the last moment, i'll order to avert certain defeat. In other words, 1t was asserted that the men who managed Phelan's cam paign sacrificed James c. Ma guire, the Democratic guberna- torial candidate, and James H. Barry, the Democratic candidate for Congress in the Fourth Con- gressional District, in order to save MT. Phelan. This was done, it is alleged, by trading blocks of Phelan votes to Gage and Kahn in return for a like number of Re publican votes to be cast for Pine Ian. In this way, 1t is asserted, MT. Phelan's managers succeed ed in changing the result suffi- ciently to compass the defeat of MT. Patton.
 This method of doing" poli- tics is not a new one, but it is so reprehensible that the most cor rupt and interruptions bosses hesitate to resort to 1t except un- der the most pressing and desper- ate circumstances. It is consid- cred, and rightly so, the basest kind of treachery, and is a crirni- nal attempt to influence the true will of the people. As such

Biggy visited himself, it was not ignor- ance, but corrupt influence that prevented a proper return of the State tally sheet and votes. MT.

 It is probable that had not the interfer- ence of the police been threatened in sev- eral cases gross fraud would have been perpetrated. The returns came in rap Idly and about 2 o'clock this morning nearly every district was heard from. MT. Biggy was much worried man until the recalcitrant officers began to settle ity of the sheets were lodged in the Reg

Voters Expressed

James D. Phelan will succeed himself as Mayor of San Fran cisco.
 Such is the will of the majority of the voters of this city as indi- cated by the count of the votes cast at the election held Tuesday. Whether or not this majority will be lessened or wiped out by sub sequent counts or more complete returns does not for the moment matter. It is enough to know that at the present time there IS nothing to show that the ultimate result will be other than 1t now appears-a victory for MT. Phe- Ian.
 When the count was com pleted last night, or practically so, less than 5000 votes separ- ated the two contestants. This being so, 1t is not strange that the friends of MT. Patton should cling to the hope that some mis- take or omission has been made, and that the events of the next few days will reverse the situation and put MT. Phelan on the losing end.
 The counting of the vote on : the municipal ticket was a slow and laborious proceeding, and was not wholly completed at mid night last night. During all of the day yesterday thousands of citizens thronged the streets in front of the newspaper bulletin boards where the returns of the count were posted as soon as re- ceived. Gains that were noted for either of the leading candidates were greeted with cheers from partisans among the watchers, and the progress of the count of

 Concerning the trouble over withheld returns Registrar Biggy said:
 The trouble that has happened over the returns from south of Market street distr1cts predicted when the Election Commissioners set aside my decision to abide by the act of 1878 and choose inc election officers from among those who are on the assessment roll.
 When this campaign started I made up my mind that only by selecting our off, cers from among property owners could we get straight election boards. and this plan 1 talked over with Major McLaugh- lin and Mir. Afford of the Republican and Democratic State Committees.
 Both of them agreed with me and promised their support. but the Commis- sloners insisted upon the old plan and nearly forced me into the Supreme Court before l gave in

FRANCE WILL SUBMIT.
Thanksslvlns Proclaimed.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 28.--The Presi-
dent today issued the following Thanks
giving proclamation: The approach
ing November brings to mind the GUS
toms of our ancestors, hallewed by time
and rooted in our most sacred traditions,
of giving thanks to Almighty God for
all the blessings He has vouchsafed US
during the past year. Few years in
our history have afforded such cause
for thanksgiving. We have been blessed
by abundant harvests; our trade and
commerce have been wonderfully In
creased; our public credits have been
improved and strengthened. All sec
tions of cur common country have
been brought together and knitted into
: closer bond of national purpose and
unity. The skies have been for a.
time darkened by the cloud of war, but
as we were compelled to take up the
sword in the cause Of humanity,
we are permitted to rejoice that
the conflict has been Of brief
duration and the losses we have had to
mourn, through grievous and important,
have been few, considering the great
results accomplished, and has inspired
us with gratitude and praise to the
Lord of Hosts.
We may laud and magnify His holy
name that cessation of hestilitles
came SO soon as to spare both sides the
countless sorrows and disasters that at
tend protraeted war.
do, therefore, invite all my fellow
citizens, these at home as well as those
who may be at sea or soicurning in for
eign lands, to set apart and observe
Thursday, the Gath day of November,
as day Of National Thangsgiving.
