SAN FRANCISCO'S VOTE

The extent of San Francisco's deple-
ton in population, as result of the
disaster is shown now with very close
approach to accuracy. The registration
of voters for the primary elections has
been closed A comparison of the fig-
ures with those shown at the same pc
riod four years ago (gubernatorial cleo
tion Year, shows a loss of nearly one
half-4O612 in 1902 and 22,O26 in 1906.
These relative figures give a close
approximation to the loss of population,
but they do not take into account the
natural increase between the registra-
tion period four years ago and the date
of the calamity last April. Add that
increase to the number registered in
1902 and the ratio of loss now indicated
will be swelled considerably.
What will be the probable effect on
the coming state election of the inn
mense loss in San Francisco votes, as
thus indicated? 1t may be assumed, on
the basis of the foregoing figures, that
the vote next November will be but
little if any, more than half the vote
polled in the presidential election Of
1904. AS between the Republican and
Democratic candidates for president the
vote for the former was more than dou-
BILE the vote for the latter-39, ,S16 to
1902. On that basis the Republican
loss in San Francisco this year would
be about 10000 and the Democratic loss
about 5000.
There is no means of determining in
advance, however, how the loss will be
divided between the two parties. A
net Republican loss of about IL 900 is
indicated by the above figures, but the
election of 1904 was not criterion by
which to gauge the relative strength OF
the two parties in San Francisco. 1t
was a tidal wave that buried the Demo
Gratis of that city by Republican vote
of better than two to one. That is
evident from the fact that San Fran
cisco gave a large Democratic plurality
in the election of 1902
But San Francisco is normally Repub-
lican by a considerable plurality. The
loss or votes consequent upon the de-
pletion of population will be much
heavier on the Republican side than
on the Democratic side. Further than
that 1t is idle to speculate at this time
The Importance of the net Republican
loss in San Francisco is seen by ref
erence to the result Of the gubernatoria
election in 1902. Pardees plurality In
the state was 1850. A change OF IN
votes to the Democratic side would have
insured the election Of Lane. 1t Is rea.
sonably certain that the net Republi-
can loss next November, resulting from
the vote shrinkage In that city. will rur
somewhere into the thousands. certain
ly number SUFFICIENT to have defeated
Pardee in 1904, with large margin t
spare.
