Following the reelection Of Johnson,
the Cleveland Electric Railway com
pany again resumed selling tickets at
The old rate of eleven tickets for fifty
cents A month prior to the election
the company sold tickets at the rate
Of seven for twenty-five cents upon
which basis they asked the renewal Of
their franchise. Johnson was elected
1pon a straight three-cent platform
The question of annexing Collingwood
a suburb to Cleveland, was carried by
2 large majority.
The campaign started two months
ago, at first was lively and friendly
but soon developed into an intensely
\ yitriolic fight to the last ditch. 1t coz
tinued so up to the opening of the
polls, and will go into local political
\ history as the fiercest of. municipal
v battles.
i Johnson Three Times Mayor.
II Johnson had been elected three
Y times. He was up for the fourth time
on platform of a 3-cent street car
fare, with machine at his back Of
5,40G city employees built after the
model of New York's Tammany.
Congressman Burton, chairman of
the rivers and harbors committee Of
the house. entered the race following
the solicitation of President Roose-
yelt and Secretaries Taft and Garfield.
During the campaign the president
sent a letter of Endorsement to Mr..
\ Burton, such as he sent last year to
the New York campaign. Politicians
said days ago that if Mayor Johnson
--2s reelected it would be a direct
.ap at President Roosevelt for inter-
ring in municipal elections. They
4lso asserted that if Mr.. Burton won
1t would be an Endorsement Of the
presidents administration.
Big Plurality Cut Down.
Two years ago Mayor Johnson was
elected over William H. Boyd by 12.-
600 votes. At that time only $4,000
votes We're registered For yesterdays 5
II election there were $4,000 names on
4 the poll books In advance of the re-
4 turns it was the popular opinion that
the increased registration was more
favorable to Mayor Johnson. He had
sent representative to New York to
study the ways of Tammany and had
taken six years to construct his Cleve.
