Arizona republican., 1905-05-03

the next Ody- Nothing was nailed down yesterday and the republicans took everything. For the first time in the history of the city the entire administration is repub lican. The democrats are without rep resentation in any department of the government. All this came about not by meager majorities but by the most unexpected figures. It is true that there had been talk among the repub- lfcans about majorities of from 200 to 300, but the more conservative calcu- lators found nothing on the surface on which to base such eXtravagant esti- mates. Most of them regarded 100 as an outside if not an impossible figure. Few of them counted upon the success of the entire ticket. They were only hopeful. Some were fearful that even a majority of the ticket might not pull through. On the surface it did not seem possible that the republicans could lose but then the poll had not been satisfactory and there were fears of the big silent vote. There was such vote but it was all cast on the right side
 The vote was a very heavy one, the heaviest on record in proportion to the registration figures. Of the 1887 votes registered, 1928 were actually cast.
 There were no scenes of excitement in any of the precincts in the course of the day. The voting began early and until late in the afternoon there was a steady falling of the ballots. At one o'clock two-t thirds of the vote had been cast. From that time on there was a regular falling off in vol ume but the voting did not wholly cease until the time came for the clos ing of the polls.
 By noon the election of Adams for mayor and Kersting for councilman from the first W ard was conceded by the democratic managers but they claimed the election of Dunlap from the third ward. They also believed that Brady O'Neill would be elected treasurer. Republican confidence grew with the day and at the closing of the polls the republicans were claimin g with certainty the election of Moss.
 The sweeping character of the re- publican victory was certainly indi- cated by the counting of the straight ballots. Everywhere except in the sec ond ward the republican ticket led by long odds. The greatest surprise oc- cured in the fourth ward. which the democrats had looked upon as strong hold. There the republican straight
  by more than 100. Republican expec- tations were not quite met in the first but there was still a comfortable lead A majority of thirty-five republican straight ballots in the third pointed to the election of Moss but still the dem Ocrats expressed confidence for they reasoned that from the character of the campaign their candidates would get the better of the mixed tickets. That was true of this ward but in IF mixed ballots the long majority of thirty-five could not be overcome. In the fourth ward the scratched tickets increased the republican lead slightly as they also did in the first.
 The second ward alone showed a ma jority for Powers, a sad falling of for it had been announced by the demo- cratic managers that a careful poll of the ward assured a vote of three to one against Adams.
 The count was concluded early ju ar tle wards but the third where II Was ,"s rinisned until after "'cl"',lS N-=l il v-os shown that Moss had . majority or twenty ty-nine.
 The socialist and socialist labor vote did not cut an important figure in the election. It ranged from five in the fourth ward to eight in the first ward A'A LA4G SONiSilAol idDOi blChCL NAAOhSAA ven votes were here cast for Leach for mayor.
