Los Angeles County
GillettStronghOld.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. s.-Only one
precinct in Los Angeles County was
fully counted up to 1880 o'clock and in
that but three ballots were cast. 1t
is impossible TO obtain any but the
most meager figures and the count will
not be completed for at least twelve
hours. so complicated is the ballot and
so mixed the voting.
Basing its estimates on the partial
returns received, the Republican State
central committee claims that Gillett
carries the county by $4,000 and the
Democratic committee comedies 10000.
The Langdon vote runs even with
Bells in many county and city pre-
cincts and in san Pedro he has two to
one against Gillett and Bell

Alameda Retains Reputation
as Republican County.
Ticket Wins With One or Two Exceptions

OAKLAND. Nov. e.-The Republicans
have. with possibly one or two excep-
tions. swept Alameda County for the
entire State and county tickets. Owing
10 the heavy ticket, the Australian bal
lot in Oakland and Alameda, the count
in those cities is extremely slow, leav-
ing the vote on Dalton and Thomas for
Assessor, and Frick and Crawford for
superintendent Of Schools, in some
doubt There appears to be no Ques-
tiCn that the entire Republican legis-
lative ticket is elected.
Gillett's majority in Alameda County
cannot be estimated at this hour (mid-
nigkt). owing TO the paucity of returns
from Oakland The Republican county
committees estimate is from 5000 to
1000 Fifty precincts complete outside

Bell Wins Raisiin
County by Only
One Hundred.
Fresno Democrats Gain
on Unusually Heavy
Scratching.
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL


FRESNO, Nov. 6.-Ideal weather and
warm contests contributed to make to-
days vote unusually heavy in this
county. Democratic victories are nota-
Bile in both city and county. Bell will
carry Fresno City by a majority OF
500 and the county by 100 majority.
Returns are coming in slow. At mid
night only ten of eighty precincts had
been heard from.
The Republican county chairman
comedies a total majority of ESQ for
Bell, while the Democratic chairman
claims at least 400, and possibly 500.
No fight being made against the other
State officers on the Republican ticket.
The Langdon vote is extremely small.
Austin and Snow, Republicans, are
probably elected by a large majority
to the Supreme Judgeship. although
Church, Democrat, is showing unex-
pected strength. r. D. Chittenden,
Democrat, has been elected Sheriff and
George Cartwright, Democrat, wins the
State Senatorship. Out of fourteen
county Offices to be filed the Demo-
Gratis have gained seven. Four are GER
tainly Republican. The others are
doubtful, with chances in favor of the
Democratic candidates.
Never before in the history of the
county has there been such a marked
scratching of tickets In one precinct,
out of 200 votes cast, only three were
straight Democratic or Republican
ballots.
The San Francisco call., 1906-11-07

ress was made in the various precincts.
Enough was indicated, however, to
show that Bell had carried the county
for Governor at figures much greater
than those predicted by the Democrats
themselves
At Republican headquarters II was
freely predicted that Bell had carried
the county by 1000 plurality This is
regarded as excessive. but it is be-
lieved that his plurality will reach 1000.
The Republican party ticket is badly
broken by the Democrats. 1t is prob
able that Judge f. c. Mclaughlin cd
and Judge J. W. Hughes CD and E.. c.
Hart (R.) have been elected Appellate

thousands of persons who had gather
ed at the river shore, tne renewal Of
steamboat traffic on the Missouri river
after a laspe of more than a decade,
was celebrated when the steamer
Lora, laden with freight from ST.
Louis, docked at the wharf in this
city. The successful trip of the Lora
was made under the most unfavorablc
circumstances. the river being ex-
c~eptionally low and its channel un.
explored for several years.
The movement to establish a boat
line on the Missouri river grew out
of the fight of Kansas City merchants
for reduced freight rates. Regular
traffic between here and st. Louis will
begin as soon as suitable boats a be
obtained.
