Washington already, although the
session of Congress is only about one
week old. The very first day of the
session they contributed to the
interest of the occasion, as Senator
Hale stepped out and offered his arm
to Senator Frye, whom he escorted I'D
to the front OF the Vice Presidents
desk to take the oath as Il Senator for
the sixth time. And it was the sixth
time that Senator Hale had stepped
out and escorted Senator Frye up to
that desk and stood by as the oath
was administered and as Mr.. FRYE

Fall Elected on Citizens Ticket-No
License by Increased Majority.

Maiden. Mass, Der. 10--George
Howard Fall was elected mayor Of
Maiden today by a small majority
after several previous unsuccessful
campaigns. Mr.. Fall as the "Citi-
zens' candidate defeated George Louis
Richards. Independent and Repup-
lican. He received 1861 votes and
Mr.. Richards 2597, making the for
mers majority g. Four years ago
when Mr.. Fall, who Is an instructor IN
Boston University. first announced his
candidacy. he received only 80 votes
In each succeeding year, his vote re-
manned comparatively insignificant.
and last year, when Mayor Mccarthy
was elected as the Independent candi-
date Mr.. Fall received only about 100
votes, while the other two candidates
had together over 5000.
In spite of these defeats Mr.. Fall
again became a candidate this year
and conducted an eloquent and witty
campaign on the stump. Without MAX
ing any personal attacks, he presented
the issues of the campaign in a plead
ing way. and laid stress on the declar-
alton that if defeated this year, he
proposed to continue to be a candidate
until he was either elected or dead
Another feature of the election was
the successful candidacy Of Miss Elm
Wilcox, who defeated H. L. Bond, (R)
for the school board, after taking the
stump in her own behalf.
The board of aldermen will consist
of five Republicans and two Indepen-
dents and the common council of IS

GOOD GOVERNMENT
TR|UMPHS IN BOSTON,
Geo. A. Hubbard, Rep, Elected Mayor by 2013
Plurality Hubbard @,067; Fitzgerald 36,054;
Couhhurst 1871 .0ther Cities.

Mayor F. Fitzgerald. who was de-
fnated for reelection at the polls to-
day. tonight issued this statement:
Under the unofficial returns, Mr.
Hubbard is elected mayor by a plural
ity of 1873 over the vote which / re-
ceived. The margin is very narrow
one. but as every possible effort was
made in behalf of my candidacy, / do
not see how the result could have been
changed. While 1 have made the hard
est fight of my life, to defeat Mr.. Hib-
bard. / tender him my personal con-
gratulations and l trust that his ad-
ministration will accomplish the best
results for the city 70 Boston.
1.-THE clOSeness of the vote in view
of all the conditions seems to me al
most as much of an endorsement as a
conGemnat ton of my administration. I
was not directly defeated by Mr.. Hib-
bard in a straight contest. nor is the
Democratic party beaten by the Re-
publican party. the result is due to the
fact that the independence League has
come into this contest it did into the
state cones as a new political factor
and has upset normal political condi-
tionS. The candidacy of Mr.. Coulthurst
drew away at least three Democratic
votes to one Republican vote, and his
while falling far short Of
the expectations of its sponsors, has
proved strong enough to elect Mr.
Hubbard.
"NIv candidacy certainly had to en-
counter extraordinary difficulties The
attitude of the public has become ex-
ceedingly exciting in its demands upon
and destructive criticism has
been more popular than constructive
work
Il feel that my defeat is partly
rhargeable to the work of the finance
and particularly to the fact
that it saw fit not only to continue
public hearings up to within a few
lays of the election. but apparently to
hold back material in its possession
IN order that it might have political
effect at the last moment"
Mayor Fitzgerald tonight also sent
a letter of congratula ton to Postmast-
e- George A. Hubbard, which was re-
piled to by the mayor-elect, who stated
that he would call upon the mayor in |
person and thank him for his courte-
OuS letter.
