WOODWARD WINS
IN ATLANTA FIGHT
NOMINATED FOR MAYoRALTH

ten by the People.
Atlanta. oct. 5.-As the result of a
five-cornered fight over the mayoralty
of Atlanta. which in certain quarters
was waged with much bitterness,
James G.. Woodward was to-day nomi-
mated for Mayor of the city for the en-
suing two years, from Jan. / next. by
a plurality of 1853 votes.
The Woodward forces tonight are
jubilant. His numerous opponents are
correspondingly depressed, for the
memories of the events of four or five
years ago, far from forgotten. still
ranlSle in their breasts. 1t was then
that Woodward gained wide notoriety,
as the result of heavy drinking and
story after story about such Incidents
of his term Of office, especially towards
ite close. found their way into the
newspapers.
woodward Made Speech.
Tonight, after his success became
assured, Woodward, who was near
the Sixth ward polls. was called on for
a speech. He began to respond, when
some one suggested that he get up on
the steps of the Fourth National Bank,
of which Capt. j. w. English is pres
ident. This he did and completed his
remarks. Capt. English is a well
known supporter of Harry c. Stock
dell, who waged his campaign prin-
cipalIy against John b. Goodwin.
The vote on the five candidates was
as follows: James G. Woodward, o.
OOS; Harry G. Stockdell 1910; J. B.
Goodwin, 1873; +. d. Longino, Liz;
James l.. Key. 55s.
It will be seen from the foregoing
that there were 5,Oss votes cast against
Woodward and for other candidates.
Woodward's success is attributed to
the fact that there were so MANY can
didates in the field and principally
to the bitter fight waged between
Stockdell and Goodwin. who were
charged with representing the English
and Brotherton factions in the police
board, respectively.
The principal betting during the day
was on Stockdell and there seemed
TO be plenty OF stockdell money around
the polls; more than there were TAX
ers.
Talk of Boiling.
Not until this afternoon did II begin
to dawn on the people that Woodward
was practically assured OF victory.
Then expressions Of disappointment
were heard everywhere, except IN the
Woodward ranks. There is all sorts Of
talk tonight about calling a mass
meeting OF citizens. despite the pri-
mary, and putting out as an independ-
ent candidate for Mayor citizen who
has no political affiliations Many. who
as a rule consider themselves bound
by primaries. have stated they would
not hesitate 10 vote for such a candi-
date against Woodward, even though
he be the primary nominee.
OF course, the movement has not
taken any definite shape. but from the
talk heard on the streets II would
seem to be a decided probability.
The usual number OF new council
men and aldermen were also elected.

WA1LUKU, July 3o-The Wailuku

monthly meeting Thursday evening.
After discussing the report of COM
mttee on garbage dumping ground,
the meeting decided that the committee
appoint finance committee of its own,
go ahead and raise the necessary funds
and close negotiations without reporting
back to the Association. H. P. Baldwin,
with whom the committee correspondent,
had left the selection of site to Judge
kepoikai, land agent of II. c. & S. Co.
w. +. Crockett for the fish market
committee asked for further time in
which to complete report, but reported
that building 4ox6o containing twelve
stalls, with five foot passage ways and
concrete floor, would cost $500; that
Market street was the most central loca-
ton and that possible cooperation with
the cattle men might be obtained, thus
having the selling of meats, fish and
vegetables under one roof, where inspec-
ton by the Board of Health or the po-
lice would guarantee cleanliness.
Judge Mckay for the cemetery COM
mittee stated that he held the original
charter and deed of property TO the Wal
luku Cemetery Association and that APP
plication would be made to Circuit Judge
Kepoikai to authorize the calling OF
meeting of four members, which would

ARBITRATION ARGUMENTS.

| THOSE WHO ARE LOOKING for
= arguments in favor of International
arbitration Will ind plenty of them in
the reports that are coming from Man
churia. Particularly interesting are
the letters of Stanley Washburn to the
Chicago Daily News. In recent letter
Mr.. Washburn has an interview with
Commander Mizzencff in which an
attack on 2O3-Meter hill is described.
The commander said:
THE sides of the hill were strewn
with bodies and the snow was Grim
soned with the blood Of the wounded.
| some Of whom had crawled into it,.
seeking in its GOODNESS surcease for
their dying agOnies."
Further along in the letter Mr.. Wash
burn describes one of his own expert
ences, as follows:
"Peering through one of the Ioopholes.
l saw the bodies of four or five dead
Russians lying midway between the
trenches. This one is all in a heap. Here
dnOther mas fallen headlong across a

This is the sort of thing information
al arbitration is designed 10 prevent.
And it would prevent such things be-
cause 1t would make war impossible.
Just now when all the rest of the world
is busy with thoughts of peace on
earth and good will to men. soldiers
are fighting and freezing and dying in
Manchuria. They do not hate each
other. God knows that if they could
have their way there would be in Man
churia tomorrow the jolliest Christmas.
celebration that bleak land ever wit
messed. Jap and Russ would fra
ternize in the friendliest possible man
ner and over all would be the spirit of
true good fellowship.
But because their countries are at
war the japanese and the Russians
will peg away at one another on Christ
mas day just as if there were no Christ
mas day. They Will shoot and cut and
burn and kill because Russia wanted
to absorb some territory which Japan
was not willing for her to have. The
dispute could have been settled in
court Of arbitration without the she'd
ding of a drop of blood, but there was
no arbitration treaty between the coun-
tries and they are fighting ii out.

THE OFFICIAL COUNT.

IT Is NOT PARTICULARLY pleasant
at this gladstone Yuletide season to
disinter the remains Of the national
Democratic party, but the publication
OF the official figures of the election of
1904 seems to make a sort Of second
post mortem necessary. A previous ex-
animation showed that there swas a
pronounced anaemic condition. But we
didn't know how decidedly anaemic it
was until the official figures came to
light.
Votes are TO a political organization
what blood is to the body. a party, to
figure strongly in national affairs, must
have plenty of votes, just as a man, to
do a hard days work, must have plenty
Of rich. red blood. The Democratic
party didn't have the votes at the last
election. As we examine the returns
we find ourselves wondering how the
Democrats happened to elect anybody
anywhere. And We see no reason to
change our original conclusion that the
net result OF the election is TO make
William Jennings Bryan the most
prominent Democrat in the country.
On the eighth day of last November
the total vote was not far from 5OO.0 900
short of the vote in the presidential
election of 1900. This means that more
than 100000 qualified voters stayed
away from the polls. The chances are
that upward Of 100000 did not vote.
This because the new voters did
not fail to vote. 1t is safe to
say that every young man, and
in the states where women vote.
most Of the young women, who had an
opportunity to cast their first vote for
a presidential candidate took advan-
tage Of it. The ld-timers stayed away.
They took no interest in the election.
The presidential vote of 1896 was a
real test of the voting strength OF the
nation. in that election the total was
1926, 46o, an increase Of 1,S66,l19 over
1892. In 1896 the country was thor
oughly aroused. The Republicans had
an immense campaign fund and they
got out practically their entire vote. as
we'll as the votes of the boiling Demo-
Gratis. Bryan's phenomenal speaking
tours solidihed his followers and
brought them to the polls.
There was an increase in the total
vote in 1900, as compared with 1896. but
II was not so great by a considerable
percentage as the other increase. Ia
1900 the result was considered a fore
gone conclusion and hundreds of thou
sands Of voters did not cast their hal
lots. In 1904 the apathy was entirely.
or almost entirely, among the Demo-
Gratis, and more especially among the
Democrats who voted for Bryan I'm 1885
and in 1900. This is shown by the fact
that Bryan poIled more votes than
Parker in thirty-seyen states. while
Parker received more than Bryan in
only eight.
Roosevelt's plurRlity over Parker was
16S6 494 votes greater than McKinleys
last plurality. over Bryan. Parker re-
ceived 1.27T.772 votes fewer than Bry-
an. This represents, to large extent,
the stay-at-home vote. 1t is apparent
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1904-12-24

that If all those who voted for Bryan
and failed TO vote for Parker had voted
for the New Yorker, Roosevelt would
still have had popular plurality of
more than 100000 votes.
1t is apparent that if the Democratic
party had really been united in the last
campaign it might have won over
enough votes to overcome this eompar-
atiyely small plurality. However, the
thing is oyer and done with now, and
there is little profit in examining the
figures The Democratic party is badly
disfigured, but it viii boo up serenely
four years hence and it may bob up TO
such good purpose that it will win the
national election. The darkest hour. it
will be remembered, always precedes
the dawn.

SANTA CLAUS AGAIN.

WE RISE THIS MORNING TO en-
" dorse the position taken by d. II.
Christensen, superintendent of the city
schools. on the subject Of Santa Claus.
"A teacher in one of the primary grades
had told her children, who average
about years of age. that Santa Claus
IS q myth When the matter was
brought TO the attention of Mr.. Chris
Jensen he very promptly took the Santa
Claus side of the argument.
If a teacher does not believe In San
"a Claus" said Mr.. Christensen, "and
Toes not think that children should be
taught to believe in him, the school is
no place TO announce her mind on the
9ubject. If she cannot talk kindly
Sbout good old Kris Kringle the joy
of child's life. let her keep still. She
should either let the little ones believe
there is such a person, or else not say
anything at all about him"
Mr.. Christensen is exactly right. To
announce to a child in a bald. matter
of fact manner. that there is no Santa
Claus, is TO subject that child to the
sorrow of a personal bereavement We
hardly think anybody would be heart
less enough to argue that the school
room is the place for announcements
IF deaths in the families of children.
Whenever children are to be told that
there is no Santa Claus the place for
them to be told is in the home. and
the person to do the telling is the IA
Their or the mother. Il is not even de-
cent for a teacher, no matter what his
or her personal beliefs may be, 20 I'M
deceive the children. They are entitled
to all the happiness they can get out
Of their BELIEF and to be happy as long
as they can.
Suppose Santa Claus is a myth, and
we are not entirely sure that he is,
what good is accomplished by destroy
ing him? On the other hand, how much
pleasure children derive from an abid-
ing faith in the patron saint OF Christ
mas. They will be undeceived soon
enough, in all conscience. Let them De
happy while they can. We hope Mr..
Christensen VIII impress it upon all
his teachers, and especially upon the
one who offended, that Santa, Claus is
a parsonage that every teacher is Off
cially bound to respect
