The day following the battle was
one of jubilation for the G. o. p.
shouters. but intense gloom permeated
the Democratic ranks. The admirers
of Mayor johnson gathered in small
groups at the street corners and dis
| cussed the landslide which buried the
Democratic leaders beneath a deluge
OF over 100000 votes 1T was moth
ing more than could be expected" was
the way the Democratic campaign
manager referred to the results in the
county. Without any means or organ
ization the minority party put up a
wonderful fight and went down to de-
feat bravely. The Republicans on the
other hand were supplied with ample
funds and because Of Mayor Johnson g
asgressiveness, threw their whole en-
ergy into the fight.
The people, however, not including
the faithful, seemed to be but little
interested In the results They read
the news, but failed to enthuse. The
workingmen went along their way as
usual and It will be but a few DAYS
until the memorable fight fades away
In the minds Of the voters.
All day long the clerks in the out
lying districts arrived at the county ell
ection board rooms and presented the
official reports. In but few instances
did the figures differ materially from
those given In the table yesterday
morning.
The voters In general manifested
but little interest in the constitutional
amendments. Although the figures on
the amendments in the county are not
obtainable at this hour, the single liza
bility and the county representation
amendments have been carried, as both
were Endorsed by the Republican and
Democratic parties. The governors
veto will be endorsed by a small ma
jority while but light vote was cast
on the municipal classification amend
ment. The taxation amendment was
endorsed by the Democrats and all
straight tickets counted one in favor
of the amendment. The taxation
amendment was not placed upon the
Republican ticket and but light vote
was cast against it,
Royal Snyder, treasurer-elect, led his
ticket with plurality Of 4,2O5, while
Pollock was tail ender with a MAJOR
ity of 2,709. Pollock ran behind his
ticket almost In every precinct and in
his home township was out about 800
votes, DeWeese made a gallant fight
and succeeded in cutting the usual ma
jority down in Carroll county about
100. polIock's majority In the district
will reach 5000.
