lresscd men were brought here from

BOSTON,.
Mayor Collins Reelected by $4,000
Plurality Over Swallow.

Boston, Dec. 1.-the Democrats won
an overwhelming victory in the NUM-
cipal election, today, Mayor Patrick A.
Collins being reelected by 26,565 plu
ralty, the largest ever given q mayor
The board of aldermen, next year, will
be sClidly Democratic, and that party
will have large majority in the COM
mon council.
The total vote for mayor was:
Patrick A. Collins, DEM, ASSET; George
n. Swallow, Rep, 22.2S5.
James A. Gallivan, the Democratic
candidate for membership in the board
of street commissioners, was also sue
cessful, defeating Isaac B. +. Allen
Rep, a colored man and formerly a
member of the Governors Council. The
city as usual favored license by large
ma joy ity.
The election. today, was notable for
the Republican apathy. The vote for
the candidate for mayor, George N.
Swallow, falling off more that 80 per
cent. from that given the party two
years ago, While it ran nearly 20 per
cent. behind that given Gov. Bates at
the state election, last month. On the
other hand the Democrats polled within
6 per cent. of the heavy vote given
Mayor Collins, two years ago. and ran
ahead of that accorded Col. CASTOR in
the November election.
That Mayor Collins was a popular
candidate was shown by the fact that
he carried every ward in the city, even
the two Republican strongholds, the
Sack Bay ard Dorchester swinging
over into the Democratic column for
the first time for many years. The cam
paign was one Oc the most lifeless in
the history of the city. The Republic
calls made no effort whatever to arouse
the voters by rallies, newspaper adver-
tisements and circulars, while there
was very little speaking on the part of
the Democrats, only in the interest
o. the numerous aldermanic candidates.
The election of Mayor Collins was q
foregone conclusion from the start and
this was accepted by the leaders of both
parties.
At a late hour, tonight. no definite re-
suits had been announced regarding the
election of individual members OF the
board of aldermen. common council and
school committee. Returns already III in
dictate q solid Democratic board of alder
men, - members, GO out of Is members of
the common council as well as the cleo
don of the eight Democratic candidates
for school committee.

troubles.
The committee recommends the re-

Of the company to borrow money and
that he be authorized to borrow only
