| GHelr OWL NaruS-t naG all We cart
about"-but no one could be found who
venturned to predict victory for the
Organization ticket throughout the city
At the same time Mayor Weaver, Di
rector Potter, Wilson H. Brown, Rudolph
Blankenburg, ]. NJ. X. Jermon, Franklin
| S. Edmonds and the other City party
leaders were happily predicting all sorts
OF maiorities for the City party ticket.
Each of them had voted early, and, ex.
cept the Mayor and Director Potter, had
worked and watched about his own d.
vision. As every one of the candidates
and leaders appeared to vote, he was
cheered to the echo by his friends and

Republicans Successful in Maryland
BALTIMORE, MD Nov. 9th.-Although
at an early hour this morning the returns
from the city were incomplete, only a
few more than 200 precints being in, it is
certain that the amendment has been
showed under by majority probably ex-
ceeding SIS, 600, and that the Republi-
cans have in all probability elected their
laikx n1 l,alf <f lat $50
ticket, carrying the First and Fourth dis
districts by safe majorities. The Second
and Third districts are still in doubt, and
it is possible the Democrats may save
these out of the wreck, but the Republi-
cans claim all four districts.
Judge Henry D. Harlan, it is estimated,
has been reelected by large majority.
George W. Padgett, the Republican candi.
date for Sheriff, calculating upon the
showing made in the precincts that have
been received, is believed to be elected by
a majority approaching $500, and it is
also likely that both Frank II. Sloan and
William T. Conn, the Republican candi-
dates for City Surveyor and Clerk of the
City Court, will pull through by small
majoritles.
The Democrats claim both the Second
and the Third districts for the Legislative
ticket, asserting that all the candidates
for the House Of Delegates, as we'll as Mr..
]. Charles Linthicum, the candidate for
the Senate in the Third district, have been
elected by small maiorities.
The vote against the amendment was in
the nature of landslide.
