OVERTURN In BALTIMORE.
Yesterdays Election Was a Democratic
Land Slide.

Baltimore, Md. May 2.-One Of the
most exciting campaigns In the history Of
Baltimore city resulted today In Dem
ocra tic landslide. Thomas 6. Hayes was
elected mayor by nearly 5000 majority
over William 7. Malster, the incum bent,
while his running mates, Skipwith Will
mer for president of the second branch of
the city council and James H. Smith for
comptroller, were chosen by practically
the same figures.
In addition to these candidates at large
the Democrats selected all of their candi-
dates for the second branch of the city
o3unoil, and Is of the "a members of the
first branch. Today's election is the first
under the charter for Baltimore city
adopted by the Legislature last year. I'm
der its provisions, the municipal elections
are held In May SO as to divorce munich
pal politics from state and national is
sues. 1t also changes the term of the
mayor from two to four years.
All of the candidates elected today will l
assume their offices ON November next.
There are several theories advanced by
the Republican leaders and others to &C.
count for the surprising result OF today s
contest but the one most generally accept
ed is that those Republicans who do not
indorse the Malster administration, in
stead of staying away from the polls,
voted the straight Democratic ticket.
The city Is wild with excitement to-
night but the best Of feeling prevails.
