republican party are openly denounced
IN the strongest terms for their ac-
tions in the present contest and it is
generally believed that their action ex-
erted a considerable influence on the
head Of the city ticket and contributed
to its defeat.
One thing Of this sort is particular
" mentioned, and it is said was used
to advantage in the fight cutting both
ways. a long list Of prominent repub-
licans allowed their names to be widely
advertised as supporters Of the demo-
cratic candidate for the district bench.
This Endorsement alone cost Jones
many votes. Friends of other men on
the ticket took offense at the action
and worked against Jones. The in
dorsement was stretched by democrat
ic workers to cover other places on the
ticket, including mayor, and votes Sc
cured.
Much underhand work was INDUCED
in by democratic workers. They did
anonymous circulars. Mayor Jones'
personal character was assailed under
cover without any attempt at proof, on
the bold assertion that it was So

Compared by Wards.
The returns on the mayoralty con-
test show that Mr.. Haynes, gains and
his victory may be accredited to sup
port in republican as much as to unus-
ually heavy support in the democratic
wards. Ward by ward some Of the,
comparisons are as follows: ..
Mr.. Haynes carries the democratic
first by a larger majority than two
years ago. Mr.. Jones , vote. is little
more than at the primaries, but less
than two years ago.
The second ward shows Mayor Jones
y
but gain over his vote Of two years
ago. Mayor Jones will carry the ward
by about the same majority as two
years ago. The Haynes strength in
the ward, which is his home ward, is
about equal to the DR.. Williams and
the democratic primary vote Of this
year. .s>.s@. ...,~s., j, - ''s~. l.
Haynes carries the third ward by
more than twice the majority he had
there two years ago. Jones will have
no more than his primary strength and
again Haynes has the DR.. Williams
and democratic strength. 5*:..l.

r The fourth ward, which is SO strong
~. republican in other directions that
it is hard to get a democratic alder
manic or legislative ticket in the field,
was carried by Jones two years ago BY
22O. He lost it at the primaries BY
twelve votes. He should carry it now,
but it will be close. - - ..7f -
s<* The, fifth ward is the mayors home
ward, but will be close when the can
wasting board finishes the count. He
carried it by a little less than 500 two
years ago and by 227 at the primaries.
The final result will be very close and
slight slump would make it demo-
cratic.
F. The sixth ward naturally goes for
Haynes, and it goes in a bunch. Two
years ago Haynes had $50 in the ward,
He had 1853 votes in the ward at the
primaries and has polled for election
5l5-a slight gain. 49, 3. = .>.|E~.
The seventh ward was carried sby
haynes two years ago by narrow
margin and will be carried this year
by, Jones by another narrow margin.
This is one ward which the mayor lost
two years ago that he will gain. The
mayor polls less than his primary vote.
The eighth ward is proving the ban
ner republican ward and will give Jones
larger majority than two years ago,
or at least as large. The vote fell off.
tho, and Jones will poll less than at the
primaries. = - $50, -,
=" Gain for Haynes.
Haynes carries the ninth ward, as
he did two years ago, and BY a much
larger majority. The Jones vote is less
than at the primaries and way below
the vote two years ago. Jones carried
the ward at the primaries.
Haynes. carries the tenth ward, which
was carried by Jones two years ago.
He has 89l to 673 for Jones. The Jones
ago 935. r.. : 80 {,
Haynes carries the eleventh ward,
which he carried two years ago by
seven votes, with a majority Of 336
this time. Jones carried it at the pri-
maries, and altho he has a gain of
4s votes over the primary vote, he
loses. IN !" s. y :
