Chosen Mayor Of Cleveland over
Theodore E. Burton.

Cleveland, Nov. 6.-Mayor Tom L.
Johnson was reelected for the fourth
time as mayor of Cleveland in a hard
fought battle, in which the Repuph

MARYLAND RETURNS SLOW
Democrats Claim the State BY 1900
Republicans Hopeful.

Baltimore. Nov. 6.-Probably never
before has so little been known as to
fhe result of an election in this state
at this time. Returns are in from
only a few precincts, and those are all
in this city. Nothing whatever has
come upon which to base a calculation,
and any estimate of the result of the
general election would be the merest
euess work. Chairman Vandiyer, OF
the Democratic state central commit
fee claims the state for his ticket by
~ 900 but the Republican leaders de-
clared themselves hopeful as ever.
The ticket is very long and compl1-
Gated and it is estimated that it Will
reouire an average of two minutes
each TO count the ballots. This means
that. in a precinct of only moderate
size it will require from II to IA hours
to complete the count.
OF the precincts IN, some are usually
carried by the Democrats and some by
the Republicans. The vote shown IN
dicates about the usual majorities, but
this may give no line upon the general
result. On the other hand, the meagre
reports received contain nothing what
ever that would indicate anything I'M
usual in the vote, and the state Is nor
mally Democratic by about 1900.
In the senatorial primaries ex-Gov-
ernor John Walter Smith has carried
the state by large majority.
In the city Governor Edwin War
field appears 10 have received a consid-
erably larger share of the popular
vote than Ex-Governor Smith, but this
really means nothing as to the final
result. Whila a legislative district
might 90 strongly for either Smith or
Warfeld, unless the Democratic candi-
dates for the legislature are elected the
primaries in that district will be with
out effect.

there was In the apathetic election was
over the result of the Republican and
independence League fusion in New

SHEATH ELECTED
Pennsylvania RepublicansElect
State Treasurer.
THE VOTE WAS LIGHT

There Was Little Interest Except In
Counties Where There Was judicial
contests-Returns Show Large Re-
publican Gains.
Harrisburg, Pa, Nov. 6.-John 0.
Sheath, Republican, was elected state
treasurer over John G. Hartman, of\Co-
lumbia county, Democrat, by $4,000
plurality. This was the only state Of
fee voted for and light vote was
polled in nearly every county. The
judicial contests in Luzerne, North
ampton and Schuylkill brought out
large vote in those counties. There
was virtually little interest in the con-
tests in other counties which elected
judges.
The returns show large Republican
gains for treasurer all over the state
as compared with the Vote for this Of
fee two years ago. For the first time
since 1904 there was no fusion agalnst
the Republican state ticket. The indie
pendent Republican element which vot-
ed for the Lincoln Party at the last
two elections voted for Sheath, VINO
has been in sympathy with this ele-
ment. Sheath has served three terms
in the state house of representatives
and voted against the organization OF
several important measures advocated
by its leaders.
Sheath and Hartman served togethel
In the regular session OF 19Oo ana th'
extra session of 1906. They are friend
and avoided personalities in their can
vass. Harmans most active supporte
was William H. Berry. who was eject
ed state treasurer on the fusion tcKe
two years ago and who uncovered TN

party made its chief issue in its las

PRESS AND PEOPLE ON
IA PROHIBITION FIGHT

er he wins or Loses Frank L. Mayes,
among the editors of city dailies, Will
live in the memory and hearts of all
who admire true courage.
1t makes a man proud to be an
humble member of the Florida press,
to See such an example. One such
hero history often has against the
great crowd of moral towards and
time-sayers. He may never get to
congress or hold high Office, if he
should try. Still he will take his
place as one CT the bravest, bright
est editors who ever wrote or welded
words that burn.
The Pensacola Journal is discussing
the great question in all its phases.
Last Sunday the brave editor discard
ed the "we'' for the ~, and signed
his name. He discussed the business
side, answering the theory that PRO
hibition will kill the town" After
showing the utter fabacy of such an
argument, he laid down thirteen prop
ositions illustrating the opposite. The
article is broadside of argument
1t is too long to copy in full We
commend his arguments and leaders
to the daily press. We cannot re-
frain, however, from quoting in full
his closing paragraph. He rings true
in every line.

Great Sweep of Sentiment.

Perhaps, in the history of Florida,
public sentiment has never had such
unanimity on any subject as it now
has on the question of prohibition.
That the sentiment has grown and
spread beyond the most sanguine ex-
pectations of its early advocates, goes
without saying. And it has been no
mushroom growth nor evanescent
dream; but gradual, solid, andabiding,
until, county following county, there
remains only about One-Seventh of tbs
forty-six counties in the state thai
are not already dry. And now seven
others of the --wetest'' and most pop
ulous counties Franklin,
Marion, Dade, Orange, Citrus, and
Putnam-are in the throes of a pro-
hibitiOn campaign, with Duval getting
ready for a like contest.
AS straws indicate the trend of the
wind, so this gradual and persistent
growth Of prohibition sentiment in
Florida has reached a higher plane
of moral, social and financial ambi-
ton such as has never obtained in
the state before, and it is a foregone
conclusion that, should the governor
call an extra session OF the legisla-
ture, as is now anticipated. that body
will submit the question of state pro-
hibition, as a constitutional amend
ment, to be ratified by the people at
the next general election.
And woe betide the legislator who
fails to vote right" or lodges the
issue when it comes up for final ac-
ton. The hand writing on the wall"
will proclaim his political doom.
Another feature of this great move
ment is that it is not alone confined
to Florida, but several large cities,
and many counties, in other states are
making efforts to free themselves of
the whiskey curse. Birmingham, Ala,
is in the midst of a heated campaign
for prohibition, and melted by Bir-
pluck, Montgomery is
working I'D. and no doubt will call
an election in the near future
