New York, April 7.-William Jen-

east in May and that he will deliver
a series of addresses on political sub
jects in the states of New York. Con-
necticut. Rhode Island, Massachusetts,,
New Jersey and Maryland. says the
Brooklyn Eagle.
The first of these addresses will
probably be delivered at the Academy
of Music in Brooklyn. 1t now seems
likely that his Brooklyn speech will be
the only one Colonel Bryan will deliv-
er In the state Of New York. as his
time will be limited and he has many
more invitations to speak than he can
possibly accept.

Merchants Plan to End Strike.

Washington, Ind, April S.-One Of
the country districts near here has had
a fright from which 1t is not expect
ed to recover soon. Lester Wratten, a
high school athlete, was out in his
gymnasium suit-a short-sleeved shirt,
muslin trousers and sandals. Wratten
is five-mile runner, and was racing
over the country with his angular
arms and legs and hair flying in the
wind. He jumped fences and bitches
and occasionally made short dashes
along the roads. He presented such an
unusual sight that people in the coun-
try thought that he was an escaped
lunatic.
Farmers Think Him Q Lunatic.
Wratten was unconscious of the SEN
sation he was causing. One farmer
who saw him spread the word among
neighbors that a lunatic was at large
and posse was organized. The wom-
en- gathered their children In the farm
houses and locked the doors. The posse
carried several hundred feet OF rope
with which to tie Wratten and the
chase began. They soon caught sight
OF Wratten speeding along a country
road and the entire party rushed after
him

increased their number to almost half

Going home and changing his cloth

in the search for the escaped lunatic !"
He told the police that had been sum-
moned by the farmers the entire story,
treating it as a joke, and the police
finally explained to the farmers.

When the counting Of the votes had
proceeded for only an hour Representa-
tive Lorimer greatly revised the
prediction figures. He said: "Mr.
Stewart will be elected by 1900 votes"
Party estimates were away out of line
before the election. The Republican
chairman claimed a plurality of AZ 900
for Stewart, while the Democratic
chairman figured $4,000 for Harrison.
Other Candidates Had Few Votes.
The other candidates for mayor had
few votes: Cruice, Labor, got 9,999;
Brecken. Socialist, 11.212; Haines, Pro-
hibitionist, 2.S4S: Sale, 7SS. 1t was re-
ported in the morning papers that
Cruice, the labor candidate, was claim
ing plurality of 10000 or so the night
before the voting.
Issue of the Election.
The chief issue in the campaign was
the traction question, both candidates
favoring ultimate municipal ownership
of the streer railways. Stewart ad-
vocated an immediate improvement Of
conditions, making the best terms pos
sible with the companies. Harrison
recommended a delay until the city
had obtained what is desired from
the companies. Mayor Harrison said:
81 regard the present election as less
of personal victory for myself than
as a victory for municipal ownership
Ia victory which should lead to the
development Of public national as well
as municipal utilities. Partisan lines
were cast aside to a great extent but
the result is at the same time a sub

ceed Again.

Cincinnati. April THE city cleo
ton here was made more than usual
ly interesting because there was split
in the Republican ranks, many Re-
publicans going in with the Demo-
Gratis in the nomination of NJ. K. Ing
alls, president of the big Four" sys-
tenn, for mayor, against Fleischmann,
Republican. More than half the vote
was cast before 9 a. m. and most of
the balance by noon. Returns are also
early. At 7:15 p. IN. fifty precincts or
about one-fourth of the city had re-
ported, showing such Republican gains
that Fleischmann's reelection as
mayor was claimed by from 10000 to
$1,000 over Ingalls,, on a total vote
larger than 1T any presidential or 9TH
er election. Fleischmann's plurality
for mayor three years ago was $500.
What the Returns show.
Complete returns from the 22S pre-
cincts in Cincinnati give Fleischmann
42,9O7, ingalls,. 26,2S7; Swing, Socialist,
3,774; Martin, Prohibitionist, S45; total,
73,S13. Fleischmann's plurality, TO-
$40; majority, 12,0O1 The council and
school boards each stand 20 Republic
ans to Democrats. The entire Re-
publican city ticket, including all the
boards, was elected by about the same
vote as that OF Fleischmann.
Booms That Are Doomed.
There is uuch diversity Of opin-
ion as to the effect of the municipal
elections upon the next Republican
nomination for governor, but it is con-
ceded that Mayor Tom L. Johnson, of
Cleveland. will now become a formida-
BILE candidate for the Democratic NOM
nation for governor a few months
hence and the ingalls, organization
will be continued with view Of max
ing him the Democratic opponent of
Hanna for the senatorship.
How the Result IL Viewed.
Melville L. Ingalls, heard the re-
turns at the Queen City club and de
clined TO make formal statement, but
his colleagues on the fusion ticket
stated that the result was due to the
superior organization Of the Republic
ans in a city normally Republican
stronghold, fraudulent registration, re-
peating and corruption. Mayor Fleisch-
mann said: 1.-The election of the en-
tire Republican ticket is a victory of
the people Of Cincinnati. They have
filed their protest against the defama-
ton Of their city's fair name. This
triumph means not only that Cincin-
natl will continue to progress as she
has progressed during the past three
years. but it means that the next gov
ernor will be a Republican, that Mar
Gus A. Hanna will be returned to the
senate and that Theodore Roosevelt
will be the next president of the Unit.
