Mr.. Green Is Pleased.
VIM Green, the successful nominee
for mayoralty honors on the Republi-
can ticket, was propped up in his bed
when a reporter called upon him this
noon. A smile of welcome and an out
stretched hand was eloquent testi-
mony as to the delight he took in the
news which reached him of the results
of yesterdays battle at the polls.
Though his attending physician has
had strict Instructions out against re-
ceiving company, Mr.. Green thought
he would violate for the instant
81 am feeling very WELL" said he. in
reply to an inquiry. Il am suffering,
however, from insomnia, and have not
slept any for some time and for that
reason 1 have refused to meet anyone
or receive any messages. INdidnf ex-
pect to win out by as handsome
plurality. I had figured on about 500.
felt confident that I would because
thought that a majority of the peo-
pie were for the things that 1 stood
for and against that of the other man.
For time last night it looked bad.
figured that I would carry the Third
ward by enough to offset anything
that Holiday might get in the Second.
I feel very kindly toward Mr.. Holli-
day"
Holiday Is Cheerful.
Urbane as ever but carrying natur-
ally enough the feeling of disappoint-
ment that must attend heroic nerve
racking fight for a high office, c. K
Holiday said: There are no sore
spots on me. I shall turn right in and
help out as 1 have always helped out.
The talk that 1 will resign is all fool
ishness. There is nothing in it. Why,
what would be the reason? 1 am sor-
ry that / didn't win. That's natural.
The press and the pulpit were against
me and that's an awful handicap to
overcome and odds that are almost
overwhelming. If had had a news
paper to back me 1 would have won. 1
think 1 made a good fight considering
what 1 had to oppose me-.
Swendson Bows to Result
S. A. Swendson. the third candidate,
said: Il am still. a Republican and
will support the ticket. The Will of the
people is supreme. That's all care
to say. 1 having nothing to give out
regarding the vote. l would rather
not say anything about that feature. :"
Frank Snyder, manager for Mr.
Green, who contributed materially to
his nomination, felt confident all
through Wednesday and at O'Clock
yesterday predicted that Green would
have a plurality of at least 500. Its
lust what 1 expected" he said terSely-
The women. the newspapers and
these church organizations defeated
u.s. said Joseph Griley, manager for
Holiday I'VE had hard time to get
our vote to the polls. Down in the
Second ward we sent carriages and
coaxed them in every way, but 1t
didn't seem to do any good, While over
in the Third ward they didn't need

waded out through the mud and walk
ed to the polls"
The Holiday money at the Eagles
was all covered yesterday afternoon by
$3.50 was bet on Green at even money
After chasing all of the Holiday
money to cover Green money went
begging for takers.
The women voted for Green consist
emily. He received eleven hundred
more women votes than Holiday and
1900 more than Swendson. His vote
was almost evenly distributed between
the men and women voters
Fourteen precincts were carried for
him by the women and thirteen by the
men out of a total of twenty-three pre-
cincts. SwendSon carried but one pre-
cinct the second CT the Sixth ward
One of the biggest surprises was the
fight of Dreaming for city attorney.
Dreaming had no organization back or
him whatever. He relied on an ad-
yertising campaign of not an extern
siye character The L. corporations
which he has antagonized fought him
sayagely but he was strongly entrench-
ed with the women and won by his
majority of the women vote Charles
Spencer on the other hand had one OF
the best organizations that was ever
gotten together on a city attorney
fight.
c. B. Burge. who defeats J. H.
Souires, is the first man who has been
able TO turn the trick in eight years
Watkins defeat for the office of city !
treasurer is largely due to his own
colored people who failed to support
him unanimously. ....-
w. M. Van Ness, new councilman
from the First ward, had hard fight |
to win against E. r. Hayes, who was |
being carried along by the Holiday |
forces in their First and Second pre- |
cinct fight. Van Ness is about 5 |
wears old married and has lived for |
many years in the First ward. He is |
employed in Guilds music store.
r J. Jones of the Second ward is a |
carpenter.
F. F. Nirps, one of the ablest coun-
cilmen that the city has ever had. lost |
because he didn't get a support among T.
among the men. The defeat came as !
somewhat of a surprise though it was
known that H. B. Howard had fol- |
lowing OF considerable proportions
which was mixed UP in the mayoralty
fight, supporting Green. This in a
way carried Howard right along with |
it.
c. w. Horn created some surprise
bv the streng 9Th that he showed against
c. B. Hypes in the Fourth ward.
c. H. Kutz. the new councilman
nominee from the Fifth, had no cp-
