CHINESE VOTED WRONG WAY.
Their Employer Lost the NayOralty
Through a Sharp Trick.

through sharp Trick.
John r. Rathom in the Chicago Times Herald.
In the early fifties. when what is now the
Australian colony of Victoria was the Nee
ca for many of the gold hunters of the
world, "a tent town called Ballarat now
beautiful and thriving city, grew up like a
mushroom in the night Ballarat men We're
prosperous and the wonderful placer mines
yielded fortune after fortune till at last the
increasing Importance of the settlement de-
manded some sort of organization in the
government of Its local affairs
For year law and order corps'-a
body of men formed for the same purposes
and very similar in every way to the old
California vigilance committees-had exer-
cfsed the only authority that the place had
ever known. But the miners wanted some
thing more advanced. and It was finally de-
cided to elect mayor for six months, lust
to see how it went" and to give the man
chosen for the position power to decide on
the number of municipal officers he wanted
to help him with his administra ton. Then
they would nominate and elect enough peo-
pie to fill the places.
The story of the way the first mayor of
Ballarat carried his election forms a UNIQUE
incident in the history of the vote by bal
lot and, as 1t has never appeared in print
may be worth the telling
There were two candidates for the place,
Edward Warburton, a Scotch mining engi-
neer, and Evan Tomlnson, called by the
HIeNeitHt STlOOtn tommy. Both men
were wealthy. and each was popular in the
community but Tomlinson had the advan-
tage of being born politician. There were
about 5000 white men in the settlement
and in addition to these Ballarat had its
Chinatown up on one of the hills with
population of 500. The spirit of democracy
was very strong among the cosmopolitan
crowd Of miners
Tomlinson had figured out that the vote
for mayor would probably be very closely
divided between himself and his opponent
and as three-fourths of the Chinese were
working on claims owned by himself and
his brother, he made up his mind that the
only way to make his election certain was
to get the consent of the free and indie
pendent" to a proposition to allow the Ce-
lestials to cast their ballots with the whites
Warburton and his supporters, realizing
that such a concession would mean crush
ing defeat. fought hard against the idea,
but Smooth Tommy" had the ear of the
members of the law and order CORPS who
were running the prelminaries and War
burtons protests were overruled.
Jimmy Barrett, rouStabout Spectator
was installed as clerk of election. The bal
lot boxes were five old-fashioned leather
portmanteaus, with Sits in the sides, and
the ballots were small printed slips of this
character:

Thanksgiving Day and Turkey.

That the man who doesn't eat turk
|ey on Thanksgiving day does not cele-
brate the day at all is an argument
that no more needs elaboration than
a pair Of white canvass shoes need a
patent leather shine. There is no
substitute for turkey. Cape1 grace
fully over the entire gamut Of food,
look carefully and dispassionately
through the calendar of tidbits, con-
suit thoughtfully and effectively the
enchirdion of all that causes Joy as it
annexes the inner man, and you will
find that roast turkey never had and
never will have an understudy. It
stands alone, like the American eagle,
with whom it collaborates for the
general glory Of the land of the free.
That the turkey is the sole proprie-
tor Of Thanksgiving day there can be
no doubt. Thanksgiving ola was not
made to give him reason for exis-
tence, but he was probrbly Matched
into the world to make a proper ex-
cuse for the invention of this grand
American holiday, which was patent
ed at Plymouth in 1920 and it is still
paying handsome royalties to the
many descendants Of it's creator.
