BERKELEY, April 1O.-The residents of
the university town turned out in full
force to-day fer one of the most closely
contested elections Berkeley has known.
Shortly before ; a. m. the polls opened
and continuous stream of voters kept
the clerks and judges busy until o'clock
this evening. 1t was nearly II o'clock be-
fore the final result became known.
On the whole the election passed off
very quietly. The business men in gen
eral showed their interest in the extreme
by voting in large numbers before taking
the morning trains to the city. Early in
the day the anti-saloon element put in
ther its cause. The saloon keepers We're
not slow in beginning the fight, and live
ly little contest between the two formed
the principal center of interest at the
several polling places.
As predicted in The Call yesterday, the
city has startled itself by voting to abol-
fsh saloons within its corporate limits
The majority vote on this issue leaves
little doubt as to the sentiment Of the

who came 10 cast his ballot was met
by one Of the women stationed at the
polls and presented with ticket asking
MIN to vote against saloons. The vote
IS an eloquent guarantee Of the efficiency
Of their canvass.
Just what attitude the new Board of
trustees viii take toward this matter re-
mains to be seen. 1t knows full we'll what

Next TO the saloon question. the fight
for Town Marshal absorbed most of the
interest. For a while it seemed as though
stewart would carry the day, as his vote
in the Second and Third wards exceeded
that Of his opponent. But LLOYD. the in
